A big pub in a former hotel with a strong focus on food. Furnishings are quite eclectic with a modern twist and there are several rooms, including a restaurant at the rear. 6 handpumps offer a fair and changing selection of ales - that sampled was adequate but not great. One of those places that seems to tick all the boxes yet somehow doesn't quite work as a whole. It's more of a trendy eatery that somewhere I would choose to go and drink. Incidentally the former MoCa that they took over next door is now a barbecue restaurant with no bar.

The only thing remarkable about this place was how much money they've spent on quality furniture and yet still ended up with a crap pub. There's a table in front of the bar, so you can't get to it and the rest was covered up by ignorant bar leaners. The barman was useless, and that's being polite, he was much worse than that. Once we did eventually get served I was given an almost totally flat pint, which did taste OK to be fair. We then went and sat at one of the giant, uncomfortable tables and listened to the braying idiots that comprise the locals. It's not for us, so we left them to it.

This former large hotel, in a remarkable building, has been split into various businesses. The MoCa Bar is well established on the left, and the central part, which seems likely to have been the main hotel entrance and foyer, has now been made into another real ale pub. The room has been well described below, but I would just add that there are some interesting framed prints which are based on the book covers of some classic novels. A small group of locals was congregated about the bar when I arrived, but they were happy to make room for me to look over the beers on offer. I went for the Tollgate Old Rasputin 4.5% which was perhaps a little past its best; on another visit in the same week two of us went for Derby Triple Hop 4.1% which was in good condition but a very strange beer, where the English hops had been treated like New World hops; that is, they'd been used for aroma rather than bitterness, so that the beer really did taste like grass cuttings and twigs. This is an interesting addition to the Dale Road real ale scene (with Twenty Ten across the road as well as the previously mentioned MoCa next door).
