Is as tired inside as the outside suggests. Populated mainly by young punters who oddly did what the old men usually do and sniffed me out as a non-local the moment I entered. It’s a two-room affair, seemingly undecorated since 1965 with a dingy, cream-cum-nicotine stain feel. No ale available on a forlorn handpump, which was being used to advertise a music night. Decided not to hang around based on the evidence before me. Still, an excellently named pub if nothing else.

The Blue Stoops is a decent looking stone built pub that is in Dronfields small shopping area. Once inside this pub had a few seperate rooms,there was a smart lounge to the left which was carpeted with normal tables and chairs,i went in the right side this took me into a pool room and bar area there was a larger room off this which went to the back of the pub,most of the rooms were wood pannelled and carpeted but some areas were bare boards,the larger room had two TVs at either end showing sports. There was one unused handpump on the bar and the only keg option was John Smiths smooth crap which i tried to see if it was still crap it was. This is a really nice pub that is let down badly by having no real ales on. Pub visited 24/3/2012
