The Old Silk Mill, Derby

Great pub for the real ale drinker with several on tap.One large bar with a smaller bar to the side.A good old fashioned pub.

A fabulous looking pub this one, especially in the evening when lit up. Can't be missed out if you're on a real ale tour, eight on offer. Very friendly place, I went for the Beowolf Dragon Smoke, Dancing Duck Nice Weather For Ducks, also had Sarah Hughes on stillage.

called in on Saturday afternoon. Rather quiet but a nice relaxed atmosphere. Great range of real ales and pleasant surroundings.

Popular with folk doing the town centre circuit,but not to the extent of needing doormen there is a fine selection of handpumped ales as mentioned by Mr Phat.The two beers from barrels on stillage in The John Lombe bar were in poor condition,but I would pop in again and try a selection of their handpumped ales.Lively yet friendly,there were few original features to the interior that I could spot,but this was the last stop on a heavy tour so I may have missed a lot.
