I like it, they have a great selection of drinks, good atmosphere, friendly staff and if required, have a good choice of games for the kids. The only issue was lack of food, but they have improved that recently and have themed food vans most weekends.

Called in for a quick catch up after work on a Friday afternoon, great friendly pub, great atmosphere, obviously an old inner-city pub but done up tastefully and in keeping with its age and location.

Bloody lovely place. Bustling with beer lovers and a set of really well kept ales. It has a great atmosphere and a decent outdoor area. The licensees Jess and John are the loveliest and most professional people, who've been in the trade for years and know their stuff! Awesome. Can't wait to return.

No Disabled facilities at all now.. even the toilet has gone! Completely blanked by one member of staff. The outside area, however, is really improving. Not a locals pub or a family one. Focusing on real ale custom and middle-aged customers. An excellent start for out of town visitors from the local hotels.

Easily the best pub in Derby, the staff are amazing and the selection and quality of beers is second to none. Whether it's quiet or busy the as atmosphere is warm and welcoming. They do a small range of traditional pub snacks, and hopefully don't divert from this as the focus on drinks is what leaves this pub unparalleled in the city. Simply the best, better than all the rest.

We regularly go here when we do an ale trail around derby. They always have a good selection of real ales and ciders. Usually very busy which is a sign they are doing a good job. Sometimes they have inexperienced staff (maybe student workers) on the bar who don’t know about the real ales but all staff are always friendly

We had a 50th party at the five lamps. the outside area was perfect and the log burner made it extra warm on a chilly November evening. Jess and John were very accommodating and the good platter of their lovely pork pies, scotch eggs and big cheese board went down a treat. Everyone commented about the great selection of beers and all the staff went out of their way to make the evening run well. Great job 5 lamps team, our new favourite pub 👍😃

Been meaning to visit for months, unfortunately on the previous attempt we found it shut.... turns out that the previous landlord had moved on. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, Brown Ales Pub Company has took over and massively invested in the place. Judging by previous pictures the changes have been hugely beneficial, it's got a similar feel to a London pub (without the London prices) modern but warm and inviting, the garden has also had a massive revamp, it's got two sections, an undercover non smoking side and an enlarged open air side that's fully surrounded by glass.....it's also one of the hottest places I've ever been in the summer...and I've been to Egypt and Morocco! The beer range seems to have also improved, they still have a few lagers on alongside a couple of traditional cask ales; however, there's now an excellent range of craft beer from the likes of Pentrich, Black Iris, Shiny, Polly's, Deya etc alongside modern cask from Two by Two, Pentrich, Bang the Elephant, Full Circle etc. Full meals have gone, replaced by quality snacks such as Scotch Eggs, pork pie, cheese boards, olives etc, in my opinion it's definitely the way forward. They've recently (May 2023) started limited tap takeovers/beer festivals with external food trucks in the garden. The GM and staff seem to understand current drinking preferences, what makes a beer and a decent pub... which is awesome. Alongside the Furnace and Flowerpot this side of Derby is absolutely worth visiting.

What a great refreshing pint! What a choice of beers! You can see this place is well looked after, there is no smell of stale beer, tables clean and polished, walls and lamp fittings dust free. I could use the toilet here but, more importantly, ANYONE THAT PAYS SO MUCH ATTENTION TO THE PLACE, MUST BE LOOKING AFTER THE CELLAR AS A CONNOISSEUR OF GOOD BEER. I wished I lived close to this pub.

The best pub in Derby by far. Interesting surroundings but more importantly 11 handpulls with a different excellent real ale on each one, kept and served exceptionally well. What was also impressive was that the cider and craft beers were separate. Well worth the long walk from the station. If you really like real ale, wherever you live, you must visit this place.

My friends and I went to this pub for years but under new management the staff make us feel like we are an inconvenience to them every time we go. They lack charm when they ask us to move our chairs or to hurry our drinks. We are often a large party spending a lot on drinks and snacks. (They no longer serve food.) Two bar men stood over my female friend demanding her glass back. They did not do the same to a man on the other side of the pub and he was allowed to take his time finishing his drink. The previous management and staff made us feel at home and dealt with us courteously.

8pm on a Saturday night and the place is almost empty. Apart from a group of young people whose squeals are just annoying. Whilst we really like the improvements made to the decor of the pub since its change of management (apart from the fake trees and other greenery and the very low watt lightbulbs) the change to the quality of the beer is a great shame. The Oakham Citra used to be the best pint of Citra you could get. I aways said the Oakham tap couldn't beat it. That is no longer true. The Citra is no better than that served anywhere else in Derby. The prices have risen too and that mediocre pint of Citra was a whole £1 more than the one we had earlier. And no CAMRA discount either! We also miss some of the old locals and wonder where they've been pushed put to? We'd like to join them! The Five Lamps has changed from a great community pub to yet another city centre pub full of young people. Our Fridays night drinking sessions after work have been changed forever.

Cosy traditional style pub with a good range if beers, ales and ciders. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Its just outside the main city centre but still gets busy, good place to start of some drinks if yoir headed ntp town. It's got an outside area, some of which is covered. There's also a car park at the rear if anyone's driving and in the past I've asked if its OK to leave me car as I intended to drink more than legal to drive and they kindly allowed me to do so. Worth a visit for sure.

One of my all time favourite pubs in the whole country, I very much enjoy travelling up from London to pop in for a few jars and have even contemplated moving to Derby so I can do it more often. A phenomenally well-run pub suited to real ale drinkers, with an ever changing selection of well chosen beer. The atmosphere in this place can be quite something to behold. I hope the younger generations cotton on and realise it's more fun having a natter out here than indoors behind a phone screen! Here's to many more years at the Smithfield and I hope to see you again soon.
