Strongers . left this review about Lubens
Lubens is a café bar with a mix of armchairs, standard tables and chairs and beer shelves with high stools. An exposed brick wall runs up the left where chopped logs sit next to a fireplace. Seating in the left rear has a glass ceiling overhead and the bar area with some high seating is found in the right rear. Three of the four hand pumps were in operation drawing Jaipur, Beartown’s Skinful and Peak Ales Chatsworth Gold. Premium and craft keg were also available alongside coffee and cakes from the extremely friendly staff. As I approached the counter the smell from a coffee being placed on the counter hit my nostrils, so I decided to have a break from the ale to enjoy a hot drink under the rain hitting the aforementioned glass ceiling overhead. This isn’t the sort of place I would usually revisit, but the atmosphere was so relaxed and friendly that I’d pop back in again if passing. Maybe I’ll actually have a pint next time!

The young staff in here were very welcoming and friendly and after reading other reviews, this seems to be consistent. This place is mainly food led, but I did notice a few customers just popping in for a pint and sitting at the bar. Four chrome handpumps with three in use serving Thornbridge Jaipur, Beartown Onikuma and Peakstones Chained Oak.

Nice little cafe / bar which is well described below. I found the service to be very friendly and the beer choice as good as anywhere else in Buxton with 4 ales on. Jaipur, Wincle Bengal Buttress and one each from Peak Ales and Storm Brewing. Worth calling in.
