The Creaky Floorboard in Derby

My first visit and it was an excellent night great atmosphere and friendly staff, I'll definitely be coming back 👌👍

Always a decent pint of craft ale, with fantastic service and friendly staff.

They are very good pork pies, not P Turner standard, but pretty good. And the beer / zero chav count is an excellent combo 👌🏻

Called for some real ale a good selection a lovely olde worldy ambience an enjoyable visit

Wonderful place lovely drinks bar staff really friendly

no food - its beer that you go for here! Loved the place, so different ! great choices of real ales. First visit, will not be the last

Fabulously quirky small pub, like having a pint in someone's living room. Friendly staff, decent selection of beer and well priced. Had a lovely pint of Mild. Would recommend.

Fantastic pub! Didn't take any photos but please trust me as this place was recommended by good friends and they didn't let us down! 😊 All of the beers were so lovely and fresh! All the best, Nigel 🙂

Fantastic little pub with great beer and a convivial atmosphere. Recommend the pork pies too but this is a pub not an eatery.

Nice micropub. Good selection of real ales and cider. Relaxed atmosphere. A bit out of the way if you are on an ale trail but still worth a visit

Lots of choice behind the tiny bar and easy to find a nook for socialising in

Warmmbiance, good selection of real ales, fantastic Open Mic every Tuesday, and check out the brilliant art!Lovely owners and staff too!

Good gluten free beer. Quite a small pub and was very noisy.

Great micro type pub, like sitting in someone's house!!! Beer and atmosphere REALLY GOOD !!!!!!!

Lovely local pub with a great atmosphere. It has friendly staff and well kept beer at a great price. No under 18s or loud music playing which is a nice change from larger pubs

A proper pub to go for a chat and a good drink with wonderful staff. Great landlady and landlord

Really sad to have to leave a one star at the creaky floorboard. Been many times with my elderly mother but after today, sadly we won't be returning. The landlady behind the bar kept on giving me dirty looks, but soon became very clear they have a zero policy for mobile phones.She shouted over to me from the bar, very abruptly and said turn it off, we don't have background noise in here.I couldn't believe what I was hearing,i wasn't even playing music, and volume was turned down low while showing a friend a 3min video, however ever, another person next to me was swearing out loud,but nothing was said about that.I would suggest the lady should go on some kind of hospitality course on how to treat customers, or better still find a job more suited to your personality.Having said that, it really is a nice well decorated quirky micro pub, good beer and nice customers.

Exceptional beers, service, atmosphere and other drinks.

Lovely real ale pub with fab beer garden☺️

Atmosphere abounds in this gentle real ale emporium. Trendy artwork and candles flatter the stripped timber setting perfectly.

Nice pub excellent beers nice beer garden.

Fabulous micro pub. Good selection of beers and cosy setting. Just like pubs used to be.

Love staff , always welcoming ,just a very nice place to be !!!!!

Great real ales, beautifully decorated, good for live music dogs allowed.

Ok for a few pints but limited range of real ales

Visit after walk, great cider and beer.

Fantastic pub with a good range of cask ales and dog friendly,can’t ask for anymore

What a gem of a place! Such friendly staff and great selection of beers available! Highly recommend for a cosy friendly drink.

Now if anyone tries to tell you that the floorboards at this location are not creaky, they are dearly wrong 😡. They are some of the best, and most creaky floorboards I have ever encountered on my travels. A great selection of delicious dishes and drumptious drinks, such as the beer 🍺 and ale 🍺. Staff were lovely also. My only critique is that I stubbed my toe on a particularly creaky floorboard. I proceeded to fall over and was laughed at by many a customer. My physical wound has healed, but the embarrassing event has left a permanent mark on my mind. A great time for the whole family

As the name suggests, the floorboards were CREAKY!! So creaky in fact that they added a mega mega atmosphere to the place, I could hardly hear my wife (thank god). Great selection of Ales and I especially loved their wheat beer. The beer garden was wonderful although someone put out their cigarette in my Ale!! Great staff and service.

Awesome local pub that opened a year ago, Beer is amazing with something new to try every week and some old favourites to. Tuesday night is Open Mic with some excellent local musicians on. Rest of the week is just good conversation with friends around the fire and no annoying Tv`s or Juke box to spoil the piece. In the summer there is a stunning beer garden to chill in.The staff are really friendly and there is always a warm welcome to all who visit. Its really is one of the best Micro pubs around and no surprise they won Best Newcomer this year. Several years on We now only go to the Creaky, just as good as ever. Jim and Josie always have a warm welcome and the beer is as good as ever.

Great bar to go to for a few real ales. A bit of a walk from the city centre, but it was worth it

Nice little homely pub/ale house and a good range of spirits/gins/ales but best of all dogs are welcome.

Found this place by accident last night. What a gem. Log fire, cask ales and ambiance. Nailed It £3.80 a pint lovely. Like going back in time and no noisy children to contend with. Bliss!

This micro pub is actually quite big as there are two rooms and a covered outside bit as well as the beer garden. Its located in a Victorian house which has bare brick walls and lots of original features such as the Minton tiles in the hallway entrance. This is a real ale pub and they also do proper cider, Really nice to see a Thundering Molly cider by Celtic Marches. Its an awesome little pub, I visited on a very frosty day and it was nice and cosy in the main bar as they have a proper fire in there. The owner and staff were super friendly and chatty. The toilet was nice and clean and modern. If your coming here via bus from Derby city centre then catch the Allestree (Trentbarton) from outside the Council house on Corporation street and get off outside the Jonty Farmer. I really enjoyed my visit to this pub and very much look forward to coming again. I would highly recommend this pub. I have added lots of photographs and also surveyed it for Google Streetview. Andy

Amazing, quirky little pub. Absolutely love it!

Gutted that they don't serve my usual drinks i.e. guinness or peroni, etc.. it's all IPA, Ale stuff. Very nice place if you're into that kind of thing.

Lovely warm atmosphere and a friendly welcome at this dog friendly pub. Just like sitting in your front room but where they happen to serve alcohol! Well worth a visit.

This place is great! The ambience, the quirky nature of the place and of course the beer All perfect. There really needs to be more places like this.

Brilliant micro pub, really welcoming, great range of local ales and a wonderful atmosphere.

Great little pub with good range of local brews, wines and spirits. Has couple of rooms with different table sizes and types of seating. Also has outdoor area, part covered where they have live music occasionally. Great to have this as a local.

Great pub. Friendly atmosphere and top beer.

Good beer selection, nice atmosphere.

Quirky, cosy, nice and warm, decent pint of San Miguel. Will be back. 😊👍🏻

Lovely cosey local with real fires and local characters. Good selection of real ales. Pub snacks also available (Pork pies, cobs, crisps etc).

Best cheese and onion cob. Very friendly. Jen, friendly barmaid

Amazing little place, credit to Jim & co

This converted old Victorian house is so cute. Has a friendly atmosphere and friendly staff. Excellent range of drinks and a separate room where you can sit and relax away from the bar. We ventured out into the Courtyard which have lovely hanging baskets and seating area. Made a really nice change from visiting a larger pub chain. We loved it..

Great taphouse, excellent bar snacks

Great beer's. Nice atmosphere, very friendly people.

Fabulous Quirky Victoriana ..Great beers and great people..

Lovely interior, better than great service

A cracking micropub that is friendly, cosy and has a good range of ales. Dog friendly with a friendly atmosphere. A converted large Victorian house at the end of Kedleston Road, enjoy. M

Great beers and a friendly landlord

Always call in once a week. Lovely place with a good selection of beers. I frequent to pub for the Brooklyn Defender. Just under a fiver a pint which is very reasonable. Great friendly staff on every visit and lovely locals. No kids allowed! 👏 Spot on👌❤️

Love this place . Staff good beer good dog 🐕 friendly so what else is there to say . 5 stars 🌟

Very nice little pub. Outside seating as well. Basic food menu. Cobs etc. It's a old Victorian house. Seating the bar area quite cosy. Do sit in lounge area very unsual decor in there.

Consistent little pub with homely feel.. Good choice of drinks on tap and friendly staff worth a visit

Good selection of beers, staff are friendly and knowledgable

Quirky nice pub, well worth a visit!

Love this place! The owner has done a fabulous job of turning the family home into a larger-than-average micro. Great choice or beverage even for non beer drinkers. Good outside space too. Worth the walk from the city centre.

My oh my. This was our first time in this drinking establishment and we were a little bit disappointed. We got an ice cold welcome from the lady serving. There wasn't anywhere to sit in the main room so we were relegated to the side room, which was ok but completely soulless. No music and no atmosphere. We won't be rushing back.

What a wonderful hidden gem! Fabulous real ale and a very good selection of drinks to suit all! Staff are very friendly and are great hosts and to top it all off they serve the best pork pie I have ever tasted & the cheese & onion cobs are 10/10. The regulars are also lovely the four legged ones are especially great. Brilliant evening at the Creaky, love it! X

Lovely local pub, with friendly and welcoming staff. We really enjoyed the open mic night last night - so great to have such a brilliant place on our doorstep! My favourite pub to visit in Derby!

Hidden gem. Brilliant little micro pub, staff are super welcoming. Great selection of drinks and quality service. Highly recommended!

We visited The Creaky Floorboard over the Easter weekend, the staff were welcoming and it was lovely to sit in the well kept outside area to enjoy our drinks in the sun. This place is just what this area needs! Can’t wait to return.

Great atmosphere, can highly recommend music nights on a Tuesday and the lovely beer garden come rain or shine! And dog friendly Xx

Everything a pub should be; great bar staff that know their beer, live music and a nice place to relax after a long dog walk!

Perfect micropub. And we like the landlords dog. As well as his well kept beer andld interesting local cider... Of course.

Were told 1. “I am sick of young people coming in and not always drinking as it is hard to run a micro pub” 2. “Are you gonna get some more drinks then or shall I turn the light off (above your table)?” 3. “Is it just you buying then.. bet you’ll share that” 4. When I asked if he’d prefer if some of my friends drink & drive, he replied “Well I’m old & pissed” - absolutely disgusting and totally unacceptable behaviour. Unprofessional and really quite embarrassing. Do better.

Superb little ale house, great beer.

Traditional style independent venue, all about the ales and conversation. Warm and cosy and with a good outer drinking area, both open and part open. Recommended to escape from music and TV venues

Great little pub with welcoming staff and nice atmosphere, with a good selection of ales

Nice beer, good service, very quirky.

Cosy 2 room micro pub with beer garden. Run by people who care about service and atmosphere.. Highly recommended.

Love having this place around the corner from me. The only real problem I have is I can't get there enough!

Well chilled and relaxing atmosphere, warm welcome too! Jim loved it!

Great Micropub on the Kedleston Rd, but very easy to miss: you need to know you're looking for it. Super selection of beer (one of which is a house beer - Derby Brewing I believe, but unconfirmed). Busy, friendly and welcoming.

Lovely pub fantastic ales can get cozy though as not a huge place but we'll worth it if you can grab a table

Unusual pub, small but cosy great beer

Great pub, excellent beer, lovely staff.

What a wonderful place for a good ale or two! The atmosphere, the decoration, the staff.. everything is so friendly and dedicated to good ale and company.

Very welcoming and friendly! Good selection of beers.

Good beer selection and a well sheltered garden.

Fantastic little pub in what used to be a house.

Great place can't believe I've not been here before, easy to miss on Kedleston Road but worth finding. Lovely seeing nice covered and open outdoor area, cosy inside nice decor and great beer choice

If you love your Ales and great friendly atmosphere then this place is the one , quirky and amazing. Highly recommend you come and see for yourself.

Excellent evening as always with lovely music. Thanks for a great night

Hidden gem, looks like someone's house from the outside but once inside there are several seating areas as well as a nice outside area. Great pint too and decent value.

A brilliant pub... It was my first visit and l loved it!!

Beer changed without any fuss, landlord amiable, quirky pub worth a visit

Nice people, cute venue, beers good & a welcome relief. I went on open mic Tuesday & already look forward to my next visit. Not many places you can go to smoke, drink & meet nice people whilst listening to people's creativity ❤💛💚

Brilliant little off the track local, good selection of beers and ciders.

Love the Creaky Floorboard. Like a friendly village local on the outskirts of the city. Cheers 🍻

Great pub and beers. Super friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Great place for a few drinks. Really lovely staff and great service.

Great little real ale pub friendly staff

Thoroughly enjoy visiting this place every time I go...friendly staff, good drinks and hospitable atmosphere

Excellent choice of real ales in quiet surroundings, plenty of room to exercise social distancing.

Great atmosphere very much a local (micro) pub.
