Cannot improve on Graeme’s description below and another Craft Union pub that you largely know what you are going to get before you enter. As Graeme says John Smith Smooth Crap is about as good as it gets, however if you do visit Monday to Thursday for their mid-week morning deals it is only £2,29 a pint before 2.00PM.

A lively Craft Union house in a curious retail building with a mock-Tudor jetty. Inside is more modern with the main room at the front and a smaller room with a tiny courtyard area behind. There is a sprinkling of sports TVs but no pool or darts apparent. The expected range of tedious keg is on the bar, with John Smiths the only bitter.

I had 10 minutes to kill before my train out of Chesterfield so popped in here. There's no real ale and I didn't fancy swigging a keg beer so went for a whisky. This is a typical town centre boozer, the type where you expect things to kick off any minute, but the person behind the bar seemed to be keeping a lid on things. This was 4:35 on a Thursday afternoon.

A fairly basic, no frills pub. Booth like seating at the front with a mixture of low/high tables and chairs elsewhere. All wooden flooring now. 2 handpumps on the bar with Bombardier Burning Gold and Help For Heroes on.

The Victoria is situated in Chesterfields main shopping area.
Once inside there was a single long oblong shaped room which ran to the rear,the bar was to the rear left,the seating was a mix of types including american diner seating and normal tables and chairs,the room was carpeted.
There were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Doom Bar which was a decent drink,the other beer was GK IPA.
The pub was fairly busy on my late Saturday afternoon visit.
I was quite surprised to find a pub with a proper name in the middle of Chesterfield that i have not been in,so this pub was a bonus for me.
