Quinno _ left this review about Horse & Groom

On the northern fringes of the city centre, on a small backstreet into the estates. Fairly straightforward pub serving the locale that desperately needs a bit of exterior TLC. A bit better inside, with a spray painted old skool Derby County shirt (of the Bass sponsorship era) on one of the walls and Luke Littler by the dartboard. The smell of old fags was a bit off-putting, however. Note that all the cask ale is badged in the rear bar. I found 3x Dancing Duck and a serviceable Bass (NBSS 3).

Estate pub with a large space given over to band stage. Traditional pub fittings. Saved by the 4 well kept real ales

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Horse & Groom

Substantial two-bar pub with plenty of space on either side of the central change in level, but limited furniture and basic decor throughout. Pool table in the rear bar, which is also where the handpumps are to be found with Bass, Dark Star Hophead, Salopian Velocity and the local Dancing Duck Gold (£3.10) found. Non-stop 'Gold 10 Hits in a Row' from a TV's radio channel at more than background level mid-afternoon on a Friday hardly helped a first-time visitor warm to the place, but regular live music of a variety of genres advertised (and I suspect that is when it comes into its own). Although a bit out of the way, I hope to revisit at a more auspicious time...
