The Redemption Ale House, Heanor

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Redemption Ale House

Popped in here on a Saturday afternoon and it's certainly a very popular place. Went to the bar, was just mid sentence choosing Peak Ales Chatsworth Gold, when another punter just barged up to the bar with a pork pie, must have been taking it back I don't know. He was obviously a local, as the barmaid just completely ignored me in front of her and proceeded to have a right old chinwag with this other lad. After what seemed like ages, she said to another member of staff 'serve her will you'. Great customer service right there. Took my pint out to the outside area and this was even worse, full of idiots shouting and roaring their heads off. Get me out of here! I didn't hang around.


Original Review 23/3/17
Situated at the top of Ray Street, so it must be good and it was. This large Micro consists of a wallpapered front seating area, with large 1950's style standing lamps with big shades.
The middle section had a log burning stove and petrol blue painted walls and further seating.
A good sized bar with six handpulled ales was positioned at the rear of the pub with all their casks stored on view in a chill cabinet behind the bar. This Micro is slightly more upmarket, compared to the Angry Bee and attracts the more conservative drinker.
