  “If a bar with few beers on, piles of not collected glasses, bar staff who are more interested in chatting to a friend than serving you and the smell of blocked drains at the outdoor seating area are your thing......then this is the place for you! Not for us and we won't be returning.”

  “Unique pub we came across while walking around the Dales. Great story behind the name, great atmosphere, friendly people and conveniently situated. Can't comment on the food as we ordered only drinks.”

  “Cool looking place with loads if board games knocking about and a large screen tv with sport on. I just had a guinness and that was fine. Seating outside as well. The toilets could be cleaner though.”

  “Fun little bar this one on the high street. It’s very different from night to day (I experienced both) popped in during the day one sunny afternoon and sat out front watching people come and go was most pleasant. At night it’s a bit wilder as it’s one of the later opening bars. Rammed in there with tunes pumping. Bit of a younger crowd but some 30s+ too. Dart Board on go with darts flying passed your head. Probably a tapping pub. Taxi rank opposite so good to get out of dodge when needed! 🍻 🎯 🚕”

  “Great cocktail bar in Matlock. We didn't have much time to stay but we certainly enjoyed our cocktails (2 for £12) We enjoyed sitting outside watching the world go by on a Saturday afternoon. Would recommend. Cool place!”

  “Very pleasant lunch spent here. One of the only places we could find in the town to eat so stopped here as it looked nicer than the other choices. Very pleased we did, it was delicious food and great service.”

  “Very nice find after a long days walk in the peaks. Dog friendly too, which was great! Friendly owner and purveyor of delicious food. The 'feast' platters are generous and tasty, milkshakes freshly made too. Definitely worth a revisit”
