The Newsroom in Derbyshire Dales

Great local boozer. Best wine choice in Matlock

Love the newsroom. Great beer, great staff, great locals. A wonderful micropub with a good selection of draught and cans. Along with wine and spirits.

Great beer and great selection in a nice bar with friendly owners who know their beer and are great company

Really friendly and popular Great choice of beers Even the wine choice was approved of, this is often overlooked in real ale places

First time in the newsroom micro pub with friends that took is in for the last drink of the night . Made a piont of speaking to the landlord and will be going in again soon xx Dotty

This is a lovely pub with a great range of beers. Dogs very much welcome.

Lovely cosy bar with a good selection of real ales along with numerous bottles and cans. Warm welcome, and a very friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

Brilliant craft ale bar with x4 cask (is king!) beers on rotation and a massive selection of keykeg and cans. Very welcoming landlord and locals. A real joy to find on our ride...a top spot real ales in Matlock 👌

Another gorgeous find well off the beaten track in Matlock. Excellent beers, lovely people, and you can get absolutely stunning pizza from across the street.

My favourite pub in Matlock by far

Great atmosphere and huge selection of real ales. Friendly informative owner and great ambience. I would highly recommend a trip to this bar.

Worth a visit if you are in the area. Great beer and nice people. Ended up chatting to someone who took us round all the Matlock highlights. Such a good night.

Great place for a drink in Matlock. Landlord is very knowledgeable on the beer front, a wide variety on cask and hand pulled. The wife is also happy because they have some great wines and flavoured ciders too. To top it all, you can eat your pizza there from D’Allesandro which is about a minute walk away. Such a friendly place; we travel up from belper and love it when we visit.

Great beer, great value. Lovely decor. Friendly staff.

Nice little real ale pub , near where I live , no food only crisps snacks, took my sister and brother in law in to show them

Absolutely brilliant place to drink and relax and the atmosphere is peaceful and friendly owners and bar staff are friendly

As ever The Newsroom continues to be one of the best (if not the best) venue in Matlock. Greeted with a smile by Mark and had a great chat about some of the local beers he always has on. If you’re in the area, it’s a must visit.

Great little micropub with good friendly atmosphere and fab beers.

Busy little place with good selection of beers

Always great. Friendly, great beer, good prices😃

Wonderful and superb place. Mark and Allison the perfect hosts. Great beer great people. Please visit these pubs are vital to communities and this one is fantastic

Nice cosy pub with good beer selection (recommend the rum stout if its on). Clientele seemed friendly. Would happily return

Fabulous place that makes you feel so welcome. A gem

Very good beer 🍺 and a nice place for a pint or two

Almost certainly the best pub in Matlock. Well curated cans and bottles. Some quite weird and wonderful, and reasonably priced. Very nice landlord. If I'm carping the keg list was not particularly killer but they play to their regular crowd. And there's interesting stuff in cans in the fridge. This is a great operation and deserves to do well

Favourite discovery in Matlock, well worth walking up the hill for. Incredible drinks selection, service and atmosphere. Friendly, warm and an absolute must.

Lovely little craft beer bar. Had a lovely couple of drinks in there whilst holidaying

Our friends, who are regulars, took us here whilst visiting. It is a quaint place with a nice selection of gins and other drinks and very friendly landlords.

Very well kept local cask beers along with a big selection of bottles and cans. Friendly knowledgeable staff.

Fabulous pub, fabulous staff,great atmosphere.😁

Great pub serving a variety of ever changing beers; a fair choice of bottled beer also; good to refresh yourself after walking up the hill to get to it!

Great atmosphere, great beer, great evening.

Terrific and well kept beers served in a friendly little pub. Highly recommended.

Great selection of real ales, served in great condition by a cheerful and knowledgeable bar keep.

Great little spot, nice and tucked away.

Good real ale bar. Friendly people, just the place for a few beers before dinner.

Ales first class and host very congenial all in all a good hour spent

Great atmosphere and beer. Highly recommend 👍

Great atmosphere and fabulous choice of beers and wine. You won't be disappointed. 👍

Really great decor and atmosphere. They have a fab selection of local beers. The staff are friendly and accommodating too, allowing us to eat our pizza from D’alessandro’s down the road (which I also highly recommend). Well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Beware of 9% stout! Makes you fall down the stairs 😂

Astonishingly good range of beers, curated with care. Everything about this place feels carefully chosen and it's a delight to visit.

Brilliant little pub with friendly staff and good choice of drinks.

Great selection of drinks. Great atmosphere

Fabulous place highly recommended dog friendly too 👍

Always a great selection of beers and good atmosphere

Very cool little pub, (dog) friendly great beer & vibes

Friendly micro Good choice of Real ales

Always a really good atmosphere here. Plenty of options with regards to drink, for all choices

An absolute gem of a micro pub with lots of indoor seating and a fantastic selection of real ale, gin, wine, spirits and craft lagers. Quality bar snacks (currently some delicious deli olives) and Mark is a perfect landlord; chatty, friendly and very knowledgeable about his stock. A group once came in and asked for a vegan beer, which I thought would be a real test. Mark produced a selection for them and was able to give details on the brewery and ingredients, which I thought was amazing. Definitely worth a visit, even if just for a quick one on the way up the hill!

After a massive uphill journey (I say that because I'm most unfit) it's only 6-10 mins walk from main town..I'm glad to say it was well worth the visit. Well into independent beers and this place has lots of choice and a really friendly bar tender/owner.

Brilliant place to visit, good beer and lovely staff.🍻👍

Cracking micropub, very friendly and good quality ale selection

Really surprised by this little gem! Great beer and vibe

Brilliant place,great service and a wonderful selection of real ales and cider.I will be calling again.

Good selection of ales, brilliant atmosphere, friendly service.

Excellent atmosphere. Staff very friendly and sociable. Great selection of beers. I had a lovely glass of rose and my hubby enjoyed a pint of the pecan pie stout. If you visit Matock do not miss this little find.

Cosy convivial local hangout with excellent range of wines, craft bear and artisan gins. Fabulous service and a warm welcome guaranteed.

Excellent beer, good atmosphere

A gem of a place, amazing selection of ales, great staff, lovely surroundings, a must for anyone who enjoys real ale.

Friendly atmosphere. For a small bar it has quite the selection

First time finding this lovely little bar. Great that they serve North Riding beer, sometimes difficult to find dark beers, though they have a good selection of bottles and cans if you don't fancy the draught. It was well worth the hill walk to get there.... I'm assure there's a defib locally 😆😉😆

Fantastic staff and the beer is awesome! Nice atmosphere and definitely worth a visit! 😁

Nice pub with good selection of drinks

Dropped on the Newsroom when we were there for the weekend. Loved it.

Great beer, great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Great beer. Knowledgeable staff. Good atmosphere. Friendly locals.

An amazing place with some fantastic ales

Visiting friends in Matlock and went in this pub. Great selection of unusual ales, gins and wines. The owner has got a little gem of a pub with a happy friendly service, knowledge of all tipples and good bar snacks.👍

Wow. New to the area and discovered this amazing place today. Staff friendly, great beers, dog friendly......thanks so so much. We will be back ! Xx

A wonderful pub with wonderful staff who care. always attentive and make you feel at home.

Friendly host who always makes you feel welcome and a variety of beers that is always refreshing to see. If you want a good night out with like minded people you can't go wrong by paying the Newsroom a visit

Nice 8/9 beers on at any one time. Alcohol free and can store too.

Fantastic place to drink. Beer, great range of ales and conversation with no distractions. When this place was a newsagent I used to come here for a copy of the newspaper I work for, especially if I had a front page 'splash'. And then to pick up some takeaway bottles of great local ales which were on sale next to the print, after some chat on what was best with the patron, Mark. Now the former newsagent has turned full publican. It's a great bar nearby, so I can nip in for a pint or two anytime. And then still pick up some local ales to take home. Have to walk down the hill to get a paper though.

Great beers and spirits fantastic atmosphere

If you like real ale then this is the place great staff great atmosphere beers are superb thanks for a great afternoon xx

Quaint and friendly and enjoyable.

Where to start...great beers, lovely owners, friendly locals, great setting, lovely furnishing and decor and dog friendly...drink here...

Fantastic atmosphere great barmaid Lorraine good choice of beer

Went for Drinks in Matlock. Last Week With a Friend. Had Budvar. Very Busy. Good Service. Fine Atmosphere. Maybe too Many. In the Bar. For Me. With the Virus.

Lovely little place, just visited today. Great atmosphere and superb hospitality! Note to the owners: not sure if you read these, but we managed to find the farmshop you recommended and stocked up on the Ashover Cider :)

This is a gem of a find, by the time you've got to the top of the hill you're ready to sample some of the assortment of lagers and beers. The landlord is very knowledgeable of the drinks he is serving. All the covid requirements were met. All in all a very friendly bar

First time here. Very friendly landlord happy to talk about his beers. Had 4 on tap with others on draft. Simple layout with additional options for Cider, Gin and wine. Nice sized L shaped room for a typical micro-pub. Sensitively decorated with lovely wooden floors. A great find. I'll be back I!!

Fab bar - brilliant atmosphere and welcoming staff!!

Great little micro pub, good ales, great selection of kegs and a vast choice of beers to take away. Dog friendly, people friendly local hosted by a great landlord, what more can be said?!

Amazing selection of craft ales, beers and ciders.....a proper drinkers bar and extremely well kept/ maintained!!👍👍

Great bar, good beer selection love it

Great place for drinks, needs ventilation and more seating

This is a delightful little pub. Tucked away down a side street, this converted newsagents is cosy and convivial with real character. Perfect place for a pint.
