| Decent eough pub with a good choice. Only drawback is that it is off the beaten track and hard to find if you have no knowledge of Derby. Near the Trent bus depot and Derby Telgraph HQ. ng10 - 10 Aug 2011 09:14 |
| With regards the comments of seafarer1966 (see below) all I can say is HOW SAD MUST ONE MAN BE? Having taken the teime to read all the rants you posted over a period of a couple of days, mostly about ppubs which you apparently haven't frequented in years, I can only conclude that you must be a very lonely and unpopular individual. Your homophobic, misogynistic and xenophobic spoutings do you no credit whatsoever. On the bright side though, at least I needn't worry about bumping in to you down the Smithy!

| Hmmm, not sure what to make of the previous comment by perivalElvis regarding the "pale coloured rubbish that's ruining things fir real beer drinkers" (sic) ... perhaps he should still to Charlie Wells or Fullers establishments where he's guaranteed some overpriced generic malty muck if he's got some kind of issue with the golden, hoppy ales...? Anyway, with regards the Smithy, yes it's a bit worn around the edges, and yes, it's a little way out of the centre and you need to know where you're going in order to get there, but it's certainly well worth a visit on any day out round here. It was number six on our recent scooping mission round Derby, and i found the place much as it has been on previous occassions - a solid selection of Real Ales kept in very good condition and served with a smile by the firiendly bar man. We chose to sit in the rear lounge with a few regulars, the licensee and a HUGE dog of unusual, Egyptian pedigree. We were made to feel very welcome, and our only regret was that time and trains were against us, preventing us from staying longer. Beers sampled on the day were Enville Ginger (4.6% and Whim Snow White (a 5.0% cloudy weisse bier). Will definitely be returning, and currently eyeing up the third Smithfest in September having been thoroughly impressed by the selection at their previous bashes. Worth popping in for the Blues & Booze weekenders which start in June too... All_Hail_The_Ale - 4 May 2010 14:19 |
