Stanley'S Alehouse

The choices for you all this fine Wednesday. And a couple of Ashover Ciders on the sticks too!

New beer on the bar today. Who's ready for a pink pint this Tuesday evening?

Beers to start your week off. A first visit to Stanley's for the very good Brass Castle brewery, all the way from Malton, and some old favourites.

And don't forget it's cheese night tonight 🍺🍷🧀And don't forget it's cheese night tonight 🍺🍷🧀

Thursday evenings beer board for you all. Hillbilly Rye seems to be a very aptly named beer for us!

Mich is back on the bar tonight, Friday night too with Helen and then again on Sunday. Time for a Stanley's re-union party I recon. Also making a return on Sunday afternoon is the amazingly talented Phil Ashmore - Singer songwriter and guitarist with great high tenor voice. Think Ryan Adams, John Mayer and of course Phil Ashmore. All good reasons to call in for a pint (not that I'll need a reason of course).🍻🎶

Well Mich seems to have things well under control (and seems happy about it too!)

Well this week we really are going back in time. Not only have we got Helen on the bar, but........ Mich...........is back pulling the pints on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday this week. (We all hope this will become a regular slot over the forthcoming weeks.) We’re turning back the clock on the beer prices too with some ales at £2.90 a pint! 🍻 Stanley’s has gone back to being open on Monday and Tuesday evenings too for that early week tipple! So to all our customers and friends... old and new, call in and say hello to Mich and Helen they will be dead chuffed to see you all...... Rumour also has it that Mick will be calling in for the odd pint or two as well. It’s a shame we couldn’t get him to bring some of that wonderful Bumpmill beer with him but I recon he’s supped it all. Girls, I do hope you don’t mind me digging out the old photo.......I thought it kind of suited the occasion 😂💕can’t wait to take an up to date one 📸

Sunday's beers and ciders.

Don't forget it's cheese night tonight, a few nibbles to acompany this Thursday's beer selection. Come along and say hi to Brad and sample his wares.......

Get your glad rags on and come and have a taste of our Disco Balls. They're (sorry it's) gluten free too.....

Somebody must have told Mr. Dragonfly that we have just put Blue Bee's Mango Milkshake on the pumps cos he's popped in to say hello! He left unhappy tho cos unfortunately for him he'd forgotten his ID 😢

Guess who's back...........

New beer on the bar today, perfect for this sunny Saturday afternoon.

Dust off your glad rags, this is tomorrow night! 😀🍻👘🎩🍾🍸 - - #matlock #derbyshire #matlockbank #micropub #realale #caskale #realcider #vintage #streetparty #shoplocal #supportindependent

Wonderful venue

Visited here earlier today, had a lovely chat and a warm welcome with the relatively new managers and theyre doing a great job. Delicious pies, great ales (good variety of beers all in top condition). Well worth the trip up the hill. Hope to visit again soon as this is a great pub with a stunning view. Wish them all the best!

Superb place and 1 minutes walk from my place. Proper beer and good prices. Can't wait to get to know the place better. ������

Superb little place. Good atmospheres and great choice of changing beers. Mick and Mish and all bar staff are very welcoming. If I could award 6 stars I would. Great find. :-)

Played a gig there last night. Pete and Emily looked after me perfectly and they know how to keep and serve beautiful real ale! ���

Our first visit despite passing regularly. Very friendly ‘real’ pub type bar with a selection to suit everyone. You don’t feel like you’re second to diners so it’s just a nice relaxing place for a couple of pints. To cap it all they had Titanic Mild on draft. Prices pretty good as well. We’ll be back.

Lovely micro pub situated in Matlock, cracking ales and friendly service.



Definitely worth a trot up the hill to find it!!!

Let these people introduce you to the wonders of chocolate sout. It's cake in a glass! Really nice people who allowed us to take 2 pints over to the registry office for our bride and bride to sample. The cost... A simple return of the emptys! Many thanks guys, the ladies loved their wedding sout! We all highly recommend you to anyone and everyone!

Great real ale venue, plenty of choice and kept well �� �

Friendly, eclectic and well kept boozer. I’d recommend a visit!

Friendly staff and great beer. Not a traditional pub, but has a small, cosy bar. Well worth a vist and you'll get fit walking up from Matlock town centre :-)

Fantastic place! Called in with the wife as we'd heard it had a great atmosphere and wasn't disappointed. Was welcomed by the bar staff, great selection of beer, was also offered to sample their free cheese board that had just been put out



We'll definitely go back

Fantastic place that we’re so lucky to have on our doorstep, thanks guys!

Fantastic friendly pub with a great selection of well kept real ales. Staff and locals very friendly - treated like we have been going here for years - hill is a climb but worth it! Xx

Excellent vir'gin' and tonic for a woman that drives a man to drink.(Also drives him home again after said drink!) Good selection of real ales and ciders in a convivial atmosphere, well hosted by Steve and Catch. Pity it can not be transferred a little nearer to home so I can sample the big selection of real gins!!

Definitely the best bar in Matlock. Love the decor, staff were beyond friendly and cider was worth the hike up the hill. Wish we had this in Leicester....

Cracking little bar away from holiday crowds. Good range of hand pulls and wine

It's a good pull up that hill though but I'll cycle next time

A small little space with a great offering .. Loved the pews in the window and had a fantastic pint of honey cider .. Awesome

Great pub and deserving of its local Pub of the Year award. Definitely worth seeking out. Docked a star during my visit as, although there were a good number of interesting beers on, there was not so much variety in the beer styles offered. This will probably change on each and every visit though!
