Danny O'Revey left this review about The Smithfield

Traditional pub, a little basic inside, Big tented outdoor space, sadly doesn't give views to the river & park. Friendly, well run and good beer

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Smithfield

This place has improved a lot since my first visit about fifteen years ago, and some money had already been spent doing up the place a bit when I last visited in 2014. The exterior certainly looks more appealing nowadays and thankfully it retains its two-bar layout inside, both with traditional furniture and restrained decoration. This time I had an excellent Bradfield Farmers Steel Cow (£4.00) from a fine array of cask beers on the two banks of five handpumps.

Steve C left this review about The Smithfield

The Smithfield has a dartboard to the left of the entrance, a jukebox that was supplying some background music and seating up the right that is faced by the bar counter. Standard keg and Birra Moretti were available, but most of the afterwork crowd had come for the cask ales available from ten hand pumps. The options during my Tuesday afternoon visit were Three Brothers Brewing’s Hazelnut Latte Milk Stout, Big Hands Pili Pala, Durham Brewery’s Avyanna, Torrside Brewery’s Subtle Hustle, Empire Brewing’s Charlie Don’t Surf, Rivington Brewing’s Walking in Circles, Fownes Brewing’s Mermaid’s Tale, New Invention Brewery’s Windmill, Sarah Hughes Brewery’s Dark Ruby and Bass. The barmaid was friendly, but I wasn’t a fan of the Pili Pala Pale Ale, tasted a bit like burnt tire. The bar area was starting to fill up so I sat in the small back bar to make my notes. From here I could see the riverside beer garden at the rear that was half full, even though it was a bit showery. This is a decent pub that I’ll be revisiting for a longer period of time when next in Derby.
