Strongers . left this review about The Old Clubhouse

The Old Clubhouse is located opposite Buxton Opera House where a countdown was taking place for the start of a concert, so thankfully the pub was emptying as people crossed over the road. Through the entrance there’s a dining area to the left and lounge bar to the right where a U-shaped serving counter supports premium keg alongside four hand pumps that were drawing Peak Ales Bakewell Best, Mobberley’s IPA, Bradfield’s Farmers Blush and a house bitter called the Old Clubhouse. To the right of the counter is open plan seating where some background music could be heard. Upstairs was closed so not sure what is up there. For a Greene King pub this place is OK, but I thought the welcome could have been a little warmer and less snooty.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Old Clubhouse

This Hotel was rebuilt in 1670 with parts of the building dating back to 1573. We came across two large rooms, a dining area on the left of entrance and a lounge and bar area on the right. Four handpumps with three beers on, Ruddles Best, Thornbridge Lord Marple & Peak Ales Chatsworth Gold. The large windows provided a spectacular view of the Opera House opposite and the Botanical Gardens. The Chatsworth Gold was in good shape, but at £5.40 a pint it would need to be!

Very busy when I called with plenty watching the Arsenal - Liverpool game. Also a few having a pre concert drink before watching Leo Sayer at the Opera House over the road! Lovely old building and a great spot for a pub. The beer choice wasn't overly exciting with Abbot, Landlord and Tribute on offer. The Tribute was in good nick though. I liked it here and would happily call again.
