Quinno _ left this review about The Barrel Drop

GBG listed alleyway-based ‘sort-of’ micro with a pleasing exterior, rather Dickensian-looking. Down some steps to the surprisingly large main interior, the décor is rather dull though the lower servery with and inlaid wooden cask is nice. Four ales over five (plus numerous ciders and craftykeg), my Buxton Stacked was magnificent (NBSS 4.5) though the Liquid Light Sweet & Dandy was much less stellar (2). These were served via pump from the bar counter so the tales of numerous ales via rack and pour from previous reviews have long gone. Friendly barmaid kept up a bit of chat with me and another solo local drinker as she served. Slightly mixed bag, I’d definitely give it another go mainly due to that magnificent Buxton and hope that’s more the usual standard. 7.5

Hidden down a narrow alleyway the Barrel Drop is an attractive looking micropub. inside it is split leveled in a sideways to the bar U shape encompassing three seating areas. There are five handpulls on the bar and at the time of my visit four beers on all from Magpie, I opted for a Honeycomb Milk Stout which I found in great condition at £4.20 a pint, also available were four Ciders from Thistly Cross, Lilleys and two from Thirsty Farmer, eight Craft keg. The place was near full capacity but didn't feel crowded due to the layout of furniture.
I thought this place pretty good.

Micropub located in a narrow, but long alleyway which connects two main roads. Even the entrance to the alleyway is not immediately obvious.

Once inside, it feels a little dark. But there is a good selection of real ales, craft beers and real ciders, which are all listed on a blackboard opposite the bar.

On our Sunday afternoon visit, it was fairly quiet. Magpie beers on were Raven & Ten For A Time Of Joyous Bliss. Guests on cask were Severn Amarillo Citra APA & Milestone Shine On. Real ciders were Blue Barrel Sherwood Blend & Snail's Bank Rhubarb Cider, whilst craft beers were New Bristol Summer Crush, Abbeydale Heathen & Salvation, Shiny Kiss Ya Homies Goodnight, Magpie Belong To Earth, Polly's Columbus & Amundsen Barrel Aged Glazed & Confused.

There are a few different sections to drink in and I noticed a good selection of board games available to use. This is a decent place and I hope to get back here one day.
