The Flowerpot, Derby

The Flowerpot is well-known as a music venue, in Derby, but serves well as a boozer, too. There was a fine range and I had a pint of something suitably summery from Mallinson's Brewery of Huddersfield. The layout of the rooms inside is very rough-and-ready but they're probably more used to accommodating denim-clad youths than middle-aged beer hunters, in search of a quiet spot for a good pint. Anyway, the barmaid was smiley and quite happy to advise on suitable beers. I'd go back but pick my night carefully to avoid the music.
