About Seven Stars
On King St in Derby, Seven Stars is a pub and bar established around 1680, with an old well still visible in the floor in front of the bar. The room sits under low ceilings, and a beer garden opens out at the back. The bar pours a pint of Guinness and sangria, and cobs are served at the bar alongside. It opens daily on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. Dogs are welcome throughout, making it a stop for those out with a pet as much as a drink.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are drawn most to the age and character of the building, singling out the old well set into the floor in front of the bar, the low ceilings and the historic decor. Friendly staff come up almost as often, with several describing great service and nice people, and one calling it lovely for a quiet midweek pint. The spacious beer garden is close behind, and one reviewer looks forward to a pint outside in summer. Also mentioned are good prices, a good choice of drinks, cobs, and a night watching the rugby over a few pints. The one complaint comes from a reviewer who found the real ale selection rather small for a city that prizes itself as the real ale capital of Britain. One visitor who stopped in during a ghost walk enjoyed hearing the bar staff talk about their spooky experiences.

“Popped in to the Seven Stars whilst visiting other pubs in the local area. When I'm out with friends we like to visit other pubs in the area and the Seven Stars is a good place for a drink so we visit it on most evenings out.”
