Great traditional pub, excellent range of real/cask beers, real ciders, a range of canned craft beers plus your standard lagers and a selection wine/spirits/lagers and soft drinks.Look out for live music which is a weekly event, they have some genuinely good bands playing. Also Smithfest, their annual beer festival with a huge range of cask beer, live music and food.Warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the jukebox has a massive catalogue of songs and there's a nice beer garden overlooking the river that's part covered so still useable during the winter.A little out of the way but worth the walk from the city centre.

Update February 2023: I've been traveling to Derby annually for the past 10 years and I know all its cask ale pubs, and I can now say without fear of contradiction that The Smithfield" is now THE best cask ale pub in town. Unlike others

Always a great selection of real ales, ciders , and a few nice lagers too.The staff are always polite , there always seems to be a fair few people in regardless of the time of day, but all are welcome.Beautiful views of the river outside and good sheltered area with plenty of seating.They also do live music at the venue, check the posters by the bar.Been here a few times over the past 5 years and always had a good experience.

I and some friends have visited the Smithfield a few times recently, I have visited in the past as well and have always found the service excellent with a variety of ales to choose from. One of my friends is celiac, so having gluten-free ales and beers is a bonus as he can enjoy a drink with us. It's not just one gluten-free drink on offer but a few so he has a choice also.

Great friendly staff, table service, takeaway ale's, outdoor heated seating area overlooking the river Derwent. The sun sets over the river and through the bridge. Great selection of ales and ciders. If i could put this place in my pocket id take it everywhere with me A*****

Derbys highly rated and multiple winner of CAMRA'S pub of the year. Great and ever changing choice of ales. Friendly locals, lovely beer garden overlooking the river. Emily and Ben are great hosts. It's hidden away but well worth seeking out, it's 5 minutes walk away from Brunswick Inn and the Alexandra, make a day of it !
