Absolutely extortionate prices and atmosphere a bit dead. Wouldn't be my first choice in Ilkeston.

Cracking craft ale not over priced and the two ever changing draught ales on are always in good shape! Stuart knows his stuff and very approachable.Kid-friendliness: Loads of boardgames to select from.

Travelled all over Nottingham and Derby but nowhere competes with the beer selection and price.

Excellent range of craft beer. Always a good selection on the board and a great selection of cans. It's a Vault City lovers paradise as they always have the new ones in and always a huge range of them. The owner is always friendly and helpful and willing to chat about the range he has. We live out of town and make special trips just to come here. The music playlist is amazing! Highly recommended.

Visited on Saturday 3rd December 2022 mid afternoon.Finally decided to visit, came from Derby city centre and it's super easy, the bus drops you off virtually at it's door.The place is actually quite large and open with a nice mix of tables and chairs alongside some comfortable sofas and coffee tables.There's a full spectrum of drinks on offer, soft, spirits, ciders, lager etc; however, it's predominantly craft beer. There's 2 cask handpulls alongside 8 keg lines.Excellent range of styles and ABVs from 13% Imperial Stouts to 4% Pale Ales, impressive range of cans and bottles to take away from the likes of Azvex, Northern Monk, Verdant, Vault City etc.Owner was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, the whole place was relaxed and chilled out, we'll definitely be back.

My friends took me in for the first time and I was very impressed. As it was a bitterly cold evening I chose a glass of merlot which was extremely palatable so I ordered a second glass. Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff.
