The 22 best bars and drinks in Buxton

Had a great time at the Tap House while visiting Buxton. We stopped by for lunch and went with a couple of sharing plates. Food was great and the variety of beers is amazing. Decided to try the Deepdale, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Staff are also super kind and welcoming. Would definitely come back if we visit the region again.

Good selection of local beers, personal favourite was the Right to Roam. Food was good, with good gluten free and vegetarian options. Fishfinger sandwich was great. Unfortunately not everything we ordered arrived and service was very slow

We were in the Peak District for the bank holiday weekend travelling down from Newcastle. Booked for Sunday lunch as recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint! One of the best Sunday lunches we’ve ever had! All amazing! The ales are fab as well, my husband loved them and as the designated driver the fact that they had a low alco ale available was brilliant and very good! If you do decide to try this I’d recommend booking a table.

Visited this place by chance and I liked it. You will find a good selection of beer and you can taste them. Place has a good atmosphere and staff is really friendly. The food was good, burger very tasty. There is no parking lot, it with some luck you may be able to park your car in front where you will find few marked areas. It is far from where I live, otherwise for sure I would be back.

Service is absolutely fantastic here! Massive shoutout to the staff, they couldn’t be more wonderful. Veggie, vegan and gluten free friendly, kid menu options as well. Of course, the beers are fantastic. Will definitely come back here whenever in the area. Thanks!

Really great Bar in the center of Buxton 👍 It is pretty big inside with lots of decent tables and seats, the atmosphere is very comfortable and relaxed 😎 They serve great Beer 🙂 (as you'd expect with it being a 'Tap House' 🤣) Food is also really good 👍 A really varied Menu, with really good food (especially the Onion Rings 😎) Service is good and the Staff are very friendly. Well worth a visit for a good Beer or Nz nice bite to eat 👍

Underwhelming food, below par service. Not suitable for big groups. We booked this place as a large group, and from the second we arrived we felt like we were an inconvenience to the staff. It seemed they were too busy for us. We had to pre order food, however it was a hassle making amendments to the food 8 out of 10 us got the burger and every single one of us complained about the bacon- it came out virtually raw- we asked for crispier bacon and to be fair to the waitress she did bring some back. However when I mentioned this when paying just as some constructive critism, I was told by the waitress ‘ the chefs do like to do the bacon slightly lighter than I like’ I said the bacon is raw- there’s no 2 questions about it Some ordered the beef cheek and pancetta pie- it looked very nice on the plate but lacked taste. I feel bad writing this review as it had great previous reviews hence why we booked it, however it was very underwhelming

Found this gem of a place on a Friday night looking for an early dinner: highly recommend this pub, the service was 10 out of 10… our share plate was fabulous, fresh and delicious! Beers were cold and a great variety to choose from,

Very nice food, freshly cooked, I had the special board burger, my wife had the mussels, both very well cooked. Service is friendly and attentive, would highly recommend if you're in the area! Can't wait to come back again.

We had an excellent lunch at Lubens. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and very helpful when deciding what to have. I went for the 70s throwback prawn cocktail and then the burger of the day which was a steak burger with all the trimmings and for dessert I had the banoffie tart with ice cream. All in all a really great meal and I highly recommend a visit.

Great place! We visited in the evening and had a lovely dinner. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Dog-friendly too :)

So happy to have found Lubens! I’d recommend booking if you can, as we found it after a hike in the area. We managed to find a table and very glad we did. The place was lovely and lively. In fact it was busy throughout the plenty of drinkers and eaters. The atmosphere was lovely. We had a dog and it’s a fantastic dog friendly place. They have a great drinks menu. Really well priced. My friend had a gorgeous French martini and I had a pinot noir. The food selection was good. Lots to choose from depending on how hungry you are. We were hungry. 😋 My friend is gluten free and they we super helpful arranging food she could eat. She was even surprised by the lovely potatoes, which the team happily confirmed were cooked separately and gluten free. I chose the fish cakes and was glad I did. Hot, crispy and gorgeous fish,potato, cheese and herb filling. The portion size was big and we were very happy. Decided on the biscoff cheesecake too and that was a delicious end to the meal too. Best of all. Staff were fabulous. Everyone so lovely and helpful, which I think is a rarity. So well done to you all. You clearly work hard and have a great team. I’ll definitely come and make sure I book a table when I’m next in the area.

Poped in for Lunch amd were lucky to get a table! What a little gem! Staff couldn't do enough for you and the food was amazing! Recomend you book to avoid not getting a seat!

Emma and I loved this place. You can’t beat an amazing Sunday dinner and a bit of uno. The people who work there were brilliant and even provided some uno coaching 🤣 If we didn’t live 2 hours away we would be back every Sunday 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

came to this pub while in desperate need of refreshment and shelter while trekking in the peaks, and found an absolute gem! there's a lovely community here and i felt very welcomed. great pint of guinness too :)

Wow, what a great place. Last pub we visited on our weekend in Buxton, should've been the 1st !! Best pint(s)of ale all weekend by far, Tim Taylor's or Bass, both were perfect !! Landlady put the rugby on for us too. Great atmosphere- we only left as we had a restaurant booked, otherwise we'd have been here all night ! Next visit to Buxton, it's the Swan for us !! Many thanks !!

Went in for drinks. Brilliant atmosphere, fantastic staff , so friendly and welcoming

Very much a locals pub, but nice enough beers and seating 👍

I visited this pub with a couple of friends for a quick drink on Saturday and the bartender informed me that it was only their second day in management and that they'd not yet organised serving hot drinks. She then offered to make me a cup of tea from the kettle in the kitchen and then saud she wouldn't charge me. It came out in mi uses and was lovely. Definitely went out of their way when they didn't have to. Lovely old fashioned vibes and very welcoming friendly staff, definitely recommend x

Friendly landlord, told us a bit of history about the place. Decent prices and friendly locals. Pub quiz on Thursdays.

Good old style friendly pub.

Stingey overpriced portions. But quality can't be faulted neither can the service. 7 English pounds for the pudding pictured! Beer is flawless though. Titanic is the reason I came to Buxton. And they cater for pooches with water and snacks. Winner 🏆

I've been here many times but today's food was particularly great. This fish and chips was fantastic - I'll definitely have that again! Titanic is a cracking brewery and this is such a good pub.

Very nice old traditional pub lots of seating areas inside and a spacious beer garden at the rear , plenty of different ales at the bar , with a sample before you decide. Pleasant bar staff .

Its a really good family orientated pub ! Dog friendly ! Dog biscuits readily available !! Good human food ! Plenty of seating !

Omg..avoid the Sunday Lunch.. Gravy should have meat juices,stock, wine, herbs etc not coloured water.. Vegetables should be colourful not cooked to death..meat should at least be tasty even if you can’t get it pink.. All a bit ping and wing… The pub itself is lovely inside..shame about the food.

A beautiful little pub located in the heart of a beautiful little town . The staff was great and the food was amazing. Though we didn't order any mains the sides were worth the go. The staff wore PPE and restaurant was well maintained. The food took ages to arrive, probably due to the timing we went. But for starters it was definitely a long wait. The food was worth the amount and couldn't ask for more. Would recommend this pub to anyone looking forward for a simple yet enjoyable pub experience .

Lovely pub in Buxton. Short walk from the market place. Driven by many times and often said 'must try it one day'. Now we have and it certainly will not be the only time. Lovely old building (fairly low ceilings in parts) with an impressive range of Titanic Brewery beers ( independent Staffordshire brewery). Food was all locally sourced and cooked to perfection. Smaller sized fish portion was perfect for this oldies lunch and the massive burger, including black pudding was devoured by my son 😋.

We visited today as I'd booked a backstage pass for my Mum's birthday present. We go for shows often but never seen backstage before. The staff (volunteers) were excellent and very knowledgeable on everything including the history. Got to see the orchestra pit, the stage, the VIP area, the artist rooms where they get ready, and all around the seat areas. Would highly recommend.

Went to watch The Illegal Eagles on Friday evening…what a fantastic experience! The venue itself is an absolutely beautiful old building, a truly stunning setting for any performing artist. The staff inside, who I believe were volunteers, were wonderful. They were polite, courteous, and friendly throughout. They kindly directed me straight to the VIP lounge upstairs, which I had booked as a special treat to celebrate a birthday. The lounge, although small, was worth every penny. The host was lovely and welcoming, and the atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed, a perfect place to chat with other theatre-goers who had also booked the experience. I honestly can’t wait to return to Buxton and visit the Opera House again — it’s always a real thrill. I’ve also discovered that they offer heritage tours of the Opera House, which I imagine would be absolutely fascinating.

We went to see The Vanishing Elephant. The opera house is amazing a beautiful old building well worth a visit. Old fashioned service by friendly staff. The show was really good too. Would recommend

We had a wonderful evening at the Opera House watching Frankie's Guys, a very talented group of four guys showcasing the songs of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Together with the four band members, we were kept entertained for 2 hours. All staff we encountered, from the security personnel, the bar staff and the auditorium staff, were very friendly and professional.

Beautiful interior to this amazing theatre. Have visited and watched numerous shows here. Sound and lighting are brilliant!

The opera house is a beautiful building internally. It has a very good variation of entertainment, from tribute groups to Irish music & dancing and theatrical performances.

A stunning building. Always an absolute pleasure to go here.

Came on Sunday for a roast. I got the veggie option with the beetroot wellington which was nice as it was hot, but the rest of the food was not warm. Potatoes looked nice and crispy but actually tasted old and hard on the outside. My glass with ice in it made my drink taste weird. The staff were attentive and overall it is a nice pub, but unfortunately the food let it down so I wouldn’t come here again for food.

A truly lovely pub! The staff were very welcoming, and we were moved to the snug, where our two small dogs could roam freely while we enjoyed our Sunday roast. I had the best vegetarian Sunday roast I’ve ever had. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is wonderfully cosy.

Lovely, easy welcome! Really friendly and kind staff! Food - 10/10, easily! Great portions! Good value for money! Deeeeeelicious! A pub with genuine, friendly&kind staff - service with a difference! Worrafind!

Lovely pub, great staff, good pub grub quick service. We have the Steak & Ale Pie sharing platter, the pie wasn't massive but it was solid with quality meat, we would happily order it again

Great food , the steak & Stilton pie was amazing , very attentive staff . A little datk in the back room had to get a tourch to read the menu. Very dog friendly.

What a brilliant pub! On a cold & miserable day in November, we were looking for a warm cosy pub with good beer, a good atmosphere & good food ( we weren't looking for much !). This pub bowled over all 4 of us. Probably one of the best pubs we'd been in for a while. We took full advantage of the excellent choice of beers & food, all of which were excellent. Despite looking quite small from the outside it was a but like the Tardis inside with a snug, a fire, which was always topped up with logs, at least 4 rooms for all tastes. No wonder there were people coming & going during our 2 hour stay. A big shout out for all the staff who were very proud of the place, friendly & efficient. If we get up to Buxton again we'll certainly spend some time in the Old Sun.

We called into The Old Sun Inn with friends. Everything from the welcome, the ambience, the food and the team were absolutely without fault. The menu is huge and very varied. There’s something for everyone. The team are really welcoming and do a fantastic job. My wife is a manual wheelchair user; we found the accessibility to be really good. There’s step-free access at the back and the inside of the pub is step-free. We really enjoyed our meal and I’m well chuffed I picked the Old Sun!

Extremely Disappointing Dining Experience I had dinner at The Railway at Buxton on a Saturday evening around 7pm, expecting a pleasant weekend dining experience. Unfortunately, it turned out to be highly disappointing. Upon browsing the menu, I found that several items I wanted to order, including steak, beef burgers, and lamb skewers, were unavailable. In fact, nearly one-third of the menu—both starters and main courses—was not being served. There were no signs or notices at the entrance to inform customers of the unavailable items, which I found both unprofessional and misleading. It’s unacceptable for a restaurant to run out of so many items during peak hours on a weekend night, when customer expectations are naturally higher. When the food finally arrived, the quality was mediocre at best—far from the standard I anticipated. This added to my frustration, as the available options were already limited. Overall, the lack of transparency, poor preparation, and average food quality made this dining experience very disappointing. I felt compelled to share this review, along with photos of the menu and food, to warn others. I sincerely hope the restaurant addresses these issues and improves both its inventory management and overall dining experience. Until then, I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable meal in Buxton!!!!

Popped in for lunch today. The bar and restaurant were very quiet, the decor and seating area is very nice. The food however left a lot to be desired. I had the lamb kofta wrap which was very nice but a very small portion for £9.95 with no chips or salad just a smattering of dry rocket. My husband had the fish and chips. When it came we commented to each other that it looked like the sort of frozen fish you get from the supermarket, along with oven chips! When he started eating he soon discovered the chips were just cooked and the fish batter was soggy and greasy. It was also stone cold. We complained to the server and she gave us a refund on his meal, (£15.95) as it was inedible. It’s a lovely pub but I think next time we will just have drinks!

Really wonderful place, the staff are lovely and the food is delicious. Also very dog friendly, for example, they noticed my dog and asked if he wanted water and I really forgot to think about so I was so greatful :D Bonus photo of how delicious my dog thought his sausage was :D

Excellent. The staff are brilliant and very friendly and welcoming. The menu options are excellent, vegetarian choices are impressive, including for their carvery Sunday. The food was well presented and tasty. The service was great. So nice we went back for a second visit. Exceptionally welcoming to dogs also.

Three really nice meals. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was served very well presented and tasted lovely. The only criticism was that the TV and music were very loud and there were not lots of people in the pub so it didn't need to be as loud.

Lovely pub with lots of cosy seating areas. Not a huge selection of ales but decent enough. Large menu and the food was quite good.

Where to eat on a Monday evening in Buxton with a dog that was the question? So let's give the Railway a go, really dog friendly brought a water bowl for our dog soon as we sat down. Good menu with usual food but also some really different and tasty dishes. Great food offers (2 coarse for £21 includes drink beer/wine) portions are great we had starter and main each. Spicy beef noodles and ultimate burger for main tasty and hot! If back in Buxton again will certainly be back! Beer a great price only £3.95 a pint!

Went in yesterday with my wife, we both had the pulled pork cheese burger. I am gluten free so they pointed out couldn't guarantee the chips not 100% gluten free. I was happy with that and appreciated the honesty. Got to say both meals were fantastic, also the young lady who dealt with us was brilliant. Sorry didn't get her name but partner in the place. Also have to comment great choice of music playing, I would recommend this place all day long!

Absolutely amazing, lovely rooms! Great for an overnight stay. No problems whatsoever as we had what we needed. Just be aware though, it’s just the basics , so no hair dryer or iron which we were aware of, but one resident didn’t read her email and thought her room would be fully equipped! These rooms are above the pub, but ear plugs are provided upon entering your room. Staff at The Vault Pub were lovely, but they are nothing to do with the rooms. Only a 5minute walk to the town centre (which is a big bonus). Will definitely be staying here again when we visit Buxton

Fantastic pub, great food and kind staff. We arrived close to kitchen closing time but the staff were super welcoming and had no problems with us arriving a little later than the usual dinner service. Food was excellent and portions were generous. Overall a great experience.

Very modern, clean accommodation and would highly recommend for a mid week stay. However, we stayed on Saturday night and didn't get any sleep. It does warn when booking about the bar below staying open until 3am, but it makes no mention of the boy racers on motorbikes and car's with massive exhausts, zooming past until 4am at least!

But further up into the main high street of Buxton town centre. Felt a little like it hadn't been kept on top of since opening, clean but could be cleaner. Chandeliers were nice but needed the one over, sticky table tops. It feels upcycled, which isn't a bad thing. Had a couple of cocktails which were OK. Syrups an no skills kind of cocktails but priced as if they were made properly. Not bad staff were very friendly.

Great place for a family lunch. The food was fab. My Vault Special burger was well tasty. All the staff were very friendly and made all of our family, which ranged from Great Grandma to great grand child who is 3 months old, very, very welcome.

I recently hosted a bottomless brunch for a hen do at The Vault for a large group. The service, the food & the drinks were incredible! Could not recommend more !!!

Nice taproom for RedWillow Brewery situated in an old bank. Good mix of beer styles with 4 cask beers, 11 keg beers (including an AF beer) and a couple of ciders, mostly all their own beers. There were a few people drinking cocktails and wine as well when we were there. They've also got a fridge with cans from the brewery for take-away. Dog friendly.

Dropped by this former bank building in Buxton and was immediately made to feel welcome by a friendly, knowledgeable and motivated member of staff. The cask beer tasted fresh and appeared well kept. The atmosphere was busy but calm. Can recommend a visit.

What a delightful tap-pub/ bar with some great beers and wonderfully restored/ preserved historic bank interiors. Delicious Breakfast stout is smooth and subtly tasty. Friendly and helpful bar staff. A great place to get gently sozzled over an afternoon…

Fantastic selection of craft beers and ciders, as well as some excellent quality cocktails. The highlight was a young guy called Chris working behind the bar who was really enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the beers, made some great recommendations, and made us feel really welcome - we ended up staying for most of the afternoon thanks to his recommendations!

We came here for a couple of drinks and a pizza. The food menu is quite limited to just pizza but don't let that deter you as the pizzas are fantastic! So tasty and full of flavour with just the right amount of toppings. We went for the Margherita and definitely recommend it. Such a good price too. They have a large selection of beers which are displayed on the big screen over the bar. The staff are very knowledgeable about these beers and made some good recommendations. My partner told me she enjoyed the Picpoul white wine that she went for, so there are nice drinks for those who aren't into beer. The staff were really friendly and attentive. Highly recommend coming here!

Loads of different beers... 4 cask lines... Lots of keg. Beer quality is great. Staff very helpful. Lots of seating.

What has happened here? It used to be great. The barman seemed to have his mates in eating Domino pizzas out of the box. They were making fun of people. What an awful atmosphere for paying customers.

Lovely pub food. Homemade steak in ale pie with home-cooked chips. Waited quite a while for the meal, it was fairly busy, but well worth it. 4 hand pulled beers on draught, all my favourite beers, but unfortunately I was driving!!!! Beer looked spot on though.

Wow, what a gem of a place, food is excellent. Service even better. Lovely people went above and beyond. Top job!

What a fabulous pub. We visited yesterday lunchtime and were blown away by the friendly service and fantastic food. My vegetarian burger was one of the best I've ever had. We're in Derbyshire on holiday this week, we just wish we lived here, we'd be in all the time. Thank you

Came across this place as kids were hungry and wow the burgers were amazing, best burger i have had in years. Staff great and so friendly. I would 100% recommend and be back

Friendly. Little local pub without pretense or fancy shenanigans. Good beer good people good times. Everyone we spoke to was very friendly and they had some nice pub games the night we were there. The only game I played was « find the bottom of my glass » but it was still pretty good. I think my favorite thing was the many old and original features of the pub.

Steve and Vanessa are top hosts. In a town full of pubs make sure you go to this one! A warm welcome and great beers !

Beautiful home cooked Sunday dinner, would recommend 😋

Top quality all round! Recently booked out the Gig / stage area for a 30th Birthday and the service I received throughout was top notch. The help I received from Holly the event manager was fantastic. Answered every question under the sun, went above and beyond to make sure my requirements were met. Tina did everything possible to make sure we had a great night and it ran smoothly, the effort shown went above 5 stars. The food produced by the kitchen team was incredible, with a huge thankyou to chef Liv who made sure we were all satisfied and the food was well received. I could not fault the service throughout the event one single bit. Only let down was the night had to end at some point 😂 Thankyou again trackside!

It’s not quite a quaint as the upstairs taproom in the main brewery, but bigger and more accommodating for summer. Inside has a TV for sports, outside has plenty of seating. I had a breakfast bagel there, for £5 it was a bargain. It also goes without saying their beers good also.

Came down from Carlisle to visit my son and he took me here for dinner. They have a big daddy burger available from Father’s Day. The made me one a day early as it doesn’t go on the menu till tomorrow. Best burger I have ever had. Tasty and wow a lot to it. Excellent value for money. And what a selection of beers they have bought some to take home. Highly recommend this place. And the staff are really helpful and friendly. And a thank you to Leah for taking time to talk to us. Awesome place will definitely be back.

Good outside atmosphere. Dog friendly. Lots of seating. Good selection of beers including take out cans. Friendly staff Food unfortunately is a big let down. Ordered two different chicken burgers, both were very cheap cuts of chicken with cheap buns used. The chips were oven oven chip quality with barely any seasoning . The whole food quality was almost fast food quality which is disappointing for £15+ for a meal. Small portions also. Shame!

Nice place! Had Feather bed which was a delicious NEIPA. Also had the bacon burger and parmesan fries 👌 Staff was very friendly, I would come back next time I am in the area!

Fantastic range of real ales. Lovely spot to sample the Buxton brewery beers. Been here a few times now. Had a very tasty burger and chips today (11/08/25). Bought several cans to take hime with me.

Fantastic hidden gem. Honestly type be forgiven for missing this as it's tucked away on an industrial estate. It's located right opposite Buxton brewery, which is VERY handy for them to transport their amazing beers to their bar. Inside is just got a look and feel which is ..... right. It's exactly how a modern day bar should feel.

Great craft beer bar in the middle of Buxton. When we visited they had 7 different keg beers covering a good range of styles, a cider and a cask beer on offer, as well as some other beers in the fridge, including a few AF beers (including a couple of beers from the excellent We Can Be Friends) to choose from. There's additional seating upstairs, so don't let it put you off if it looks busy from the street, and they're dog friendly downstairs. They don't serve food, but you can order from The Cavendish Kitchen next door, and if you tell them where you're sat they'll bring your pizza to your table.

We spent an awesome week in Buxton last week and unfortunately (for us) left the best until the last. We popped in on the final night of our stay and within 5 minutes of being inside regretted not coming in sooner. We arrived halfway through a pub quiz of clearly regulars and friends, fearing the American Werewolf in London “You made me miss” feeling that strangers in a cosy bar/pub sometimes receive. That couldn’t have been further from the truth, from patrons to the owners we felt right at home and 100% will be back way earlier in our next stay. If/when we are locals we will be part of the furniture here. Bo was the best pub dog we met on our trip too

Excellent selection of beer. Something for everyone. Friendly service. Good crowd of people. Seating inside and out. Will visit again.

Absolutely amazing place for a drink! Such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, always inclusive and welcoming to all. It's my now go to when I Buxton and enjoy every visit! I would highy recommend a visit if you are looking for a drink and chat. Lots of great people to chat too and as mentioned always very welcoming. It's also nice to have a true LGBTQ friendly place to drink when you can just be yourself.

A lovely independent bar in Buxton, serving a great choice of cask, keg and alcohol free beers and cider, as well as wine and spirits. Andrew and Cat are excellent hosts who take great pride in their business and choice of drinks. They are very dog friendly and frequented by very friendly customers. There’s always someone to have a chat with, or you can be comfortable if you want to keep yourself to yourself. Although they only sell snacks, I have given 5 stars for food, due to their arrangement with the wood fired pizza shop next door.

First time visiting, great atmosphere and friendly staff. I hosted a baby shower upstairs. Upstairs is such a great space, beautiful stained glass windows and really nicely decorated. Downstairs had a great vibe also, it seems like a great spot to enjoy some local beer and they’re dog friendly :)

It is a cozy little bar in Buxton, the couple running it are smiley and friendly. Large variety of beers and if you are hungry you can order a pizza from next door and eat it at the Frog. Good mixture of locals and tourists.

Lately I’m finding Buxton buzzing and returning to its former glory… I spent many years as a kid here and my dear late grandfather used to consider The New Inn ‘his spot’ . After a few years closed imagine how delighted I am to see an independent offer and the glorious doors swinging open once again. Gorge refurbishment using traditional materials, colours and furniture… very cozy nooks and crannies, open fireplaces and even a ‘snug’ at the rear… The menu is made up of easy crowd pleasing items, if you’re looking for a Sunday roast this is not the place but they do have a tasty brunch menu and full marks for bringing something a little different. My deep fried cod baguette and fries was tasty and simple whilst my chum munched away on a Wagyu brunch burger in silence so I can only assume it hit the spot… Beer offer looked great and I hear well kept plus there are plenty of wine and soft drink options. Lovely job

Lovely pub with great selection of real ales and wines. Perfect location on the market place. 👌 Decorated to a high standard. Highly recommended.

First time in Buxton and wont be the last, staff were really friendly and invited us out of town folk to the quiz. Great time at the pub, stayed a little later for some extra fluids. Dog friendly which is always a win!

In my opinion this is a close second to the Sun Inn as the best pub in Buxton. Excellent ale, choice of drinks & snacks, real fire, good lighting & decor, good music at the right volume & knowledgeable, friendly staff. I will be back to try the food.

I am local to Buxton (but not born and bred as you can guess from my name probably) and I can honestly say that for me The New Inn is the most genuine traditional pub in Buxton, for a couple of reasons: - Stylish and cozy interior with appropriate lighting, something I would expect from a decent pub but for some reason you won’t come across that so much anymore these days. - Open fireplace. Any local Pub should have one, if you ask me. - Varied selection of local and familiar brand beers on keg and cask. They can always serve you a beer you fancy depending on the day and moment. - Modest and well balanced choice of dishes on the menu. Better to have a few dishes and do them right than to have lots of choice and not do it so well. I like that approach. Been in today with the family and enjoyed a Sunday roast with a local cask ale. Just beautiful!

Great pub, well decorated throughout. Service was excellent. Good range of ales. Thursday night is excellent value. Pint of cruzcampo (other options available) wagywu burger with 4 topping options, and seasoned fries all for £17.95. Great value for good quality drink and food.

Tradional pub full of character. Excellent Timothy Taylor's range. My first visit and should I return to Buxton, it won't be my last!!

Trackside is an absolute gem – the perfect combo of amazing burgers and incredible craft beer from Buxton Brewery, which is brewed right next door! The burgers are juicy, full of flavor, and come with unique, well-thought-out toppings. Everything tastes fresh and homemade. The beer is a real highlight – super fresh, brewed on-site by Buxton Brewery, and it shows. Every pint has depth and character, and there's always something new and exciting to try on tap. And if you find a favorite, you can grab a few cans to take away – perfect for enjoying later or bringing home as a souvenir. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with great staff and a welcoming vibe. It's the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable in. An ideal stop during a holiday in the Peak District – whether you’re hiking nearby, exploring the area, or just looking for a great place to chill, Trackside is 100% worth a visit. Can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic brewery, fantastic beer, fantastic customer service. Order some beer for an event I was doing at my pub. Had some issues with a 3rd party courier. Dealt with Jack from the brewery, he found a way for my beer to get to me on time! Phenomenal service, beer is exceptional and an absolutely top chap! Couldn't be happier with the service and product! 5* isn't a high enough rating! Many thanks Jack and Buxton Brewery! Cheers Marv (Brickyard landlord)

Lovely spot for food & drinks, and super dog friendly. We had food & drinks here, lots of board games & space to spread out

Beautiful place to stop after a climb. They have plenty of beer to satisfy every taste.

Brilliant place so glad we stumbled in here from Staden Grange campsite just 0.5 miles away. Beer garden was such a lovely place to enjoy these beautiful beers and amazing street food. Our son loved playing with the other children running around too. Can't rate this highly enough

A great place, lots of people all with similar tastes and enjoyments. The best selection of draught beer brewed next door. Great outdoor space, brilliant food. Simply a good crack as the Irish would say. Thankyou for making this available all within a short walk for me.

Great tap room. Lots of great beers (as you would expect). Usually has some kind of street food option for food. The outside garden is huge and amazing in the sun, with views down the valley. Dog friendly both inside and out, free to park. Great addition to the town centre bar

They had kids neon disco event, for the price is expensive, the song wasn't good for toddlers and young kids, my children couldn't relate to their song and play hid and seek with their friends instead and bored after a while and we have to leave in the end and wastes my money. The only thing my child enjoyed is the face painting & mask colouring and that's all for the price of £6 for each body child or adult.. I will not attend to this event again.

Always a great night in Level 2. People in the is always a great mix and lots of friendly faces. Great music and the occasional superstar providing the entertainment. The best place in town for drinks in to the early hours.

A great night out with a great atmosphere. Always plenty of good nights with superb music and DJ’s. If you want the best night out in Buxton this is definitely the place to visit.the sound system and lighting are brilliant.

What a vibe!! Such an awesome club, great service, music and atmosphere! Absolutely loved it! Had the best night. Highly recommend this club!

Had a cracking night in level 2. Unfortunately there was a disturbance outside which meant we couldn’t leave so we went up to the tiki bar for half an hour where we were well looked after by the owner. An excellent end to our night in Buxton and a picture for the album. Many thanks

Had a great night valentines weekend! Love the music! It was diverse. Affordable drinks to the point of forgetting my precious coat in the club lol but guess what, it was so easy to get hold of them via Facebook and they posted my coat to my address for free! Would definitely go lose myself there again lol

I've always had a top night here! Entry is cheap as, staff are great and the music's always banging. Definitely worth a visit!

Visited Poole’s Cavern yesterday and had a great experience. Our guide, Anne, was friendly, welcoming, and made the tour really engaging. She explained everything in an interesting and clear way, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

It's the people who work here that really makes this place. The cavern is a fascinating, geological wonder with an interesting history, but it was our tour guide, Callum that brought it all to life. He told us about the man John Poole who the cave was named after. He was a thoroughly nasty character who got a very satisfying cummupence, courtesy of the Buxton locals. Next he spoke of some of the other artifacts found including but not limited to Roman remains in a shrine to a water goddess. He spoke of the caves acquisition by a rich Victorian gentleman, and the side hustles that the impoverished children that were hired as tour guides at the time would use to extort more money out of the wealthy elite. Very industrious. It even has connections to Mary Queen of Scots, more specifically her portrait artist. The cavern also boasts 'poached egg stalacmites' that are only found in this cave system. Fascinating. This excavation is run through a charity that has already broken through into more of the cavern and hopes to soon use drones to bring footage from a cave blocked off from human eyes thousands of years ago. I would urge you to book a guide, buy the guidebook which is excellent and run amok in the giftshop which is full of crystally goodness as all this goes in towards this very important research. If you're really lucky, you might even get Callum to show you around.

We were suprised that due to my husband walking with a rollator and not being able to do stairs we were able to part of this tour for free which included a carer. Our guide was very knowledgeable and staff were really friendly. Would thoroughly recommend it. Also a sculpture walk next to it which not accessible but looked amazing. Also Go Ape next door.

Brilliant experience! It’s really well laid out and the lighting is very atmospheric. Dog friendly too, for a quid. There are guides in there too with lots of info if you’re on a self-guided tour. Can walk through it in 20-30min if you’re in a rush.

A living relic of ancient history right beneath our feet. We'll worth an easy stroll on a well lit, well supervised and grippy, almost adhesive path. The coffee alone is worth a quick visit and the staff are a pleasant and accommodating bunch.

Our tour guide Anne was absolutely brilliant. She answered my children’s endless questions and was so knowledgeable and interesting. She made it very fun. The cave was gorgeous and truly fascinating.

First time visiting Buxton and this was a must see. The cave itself is quite something and access is straightforward with an easy to follow linear path. The kids loved it! Guides are approachable and knowledgeable. The gifts shop has some wonderful little keepsakes and is actually very fairly priced (not often the case for gifts shops) with some wonderful things for under a tenner. Plus, it sells Buxton brewery beers! Highly recommended day out.

Beautiful gardens with free street parking if you can find it or loads of paid parking either around the town or in the gardens which can be located by the main road. Free public toilets, a small railway train that goes around the park for £2.50 per person, lasts around 5 minutes and is very cute, allowing you to see and take in the park from different angles. Theres loads of different paths, trees, wildlife and plants, some with information plaques, as well as frequent benches, bins and play parks for the kids. Extremely child, disabled and pet friendly. The streams, ponds and riverways are very well kept, as is the whole park and its lovley to see the ducks and wildlife enjoy it too.

Nice easy walk round a pond. Lots of water birds, ducks ,geese, herons. Quite a bit of duck poo on paths near pond. Nice bar, cafe, swimming pool, music venue.

Love the pavilion gardens here in Buxton. Some nice snack/eateries, locally made beers and I particularly like the "hot house" garden, and walking around the park.

What a lovely and unique place. We walked around gardens for a bit, lots of wild birds, small water lakes, had live music playing, which made atmosphere really nice.

Disability freindly in most of Buxton pavilion.Family freindly clean beautiful park and buildings, small train ride in the park lots of geese and other birds in the park.a small river running through the park.you have Buxton opera house with a tea room and inside garden area.not far away is the famous Buxton spring water well you can use your own bottle and fill it for free.You could have a full day out here all while including a day at the opera.

Absolutely stunning area. Great park with wide clean pathways. Plenty of wildlife around. Lovely facilities in the pavilion

Beautiful, well maintained gardens and old heritage buildings. Would be lovely to see more of the Pavilion buildings themselves open and used though.

I love local restaurants in Buxton, but I love this Sacro too. Staff is amazing, food is great especially when you go with kids - meals are cheap, fresh! It would be lovely to invest and buy a few toys for kids like jigsaws or small one to play at the table. We are visiting Sacro very often and I cannot say any bad word about this place!

Such a lovely place. Really nice inside, our server was lovely. Didn't catch a name but for having only been working there 2 weeks we was really impressed. She went over our order carefully 3 times to make sure it was all correct due to our little girl having coeliacs disease. Food was 10/10. Such a shame we dont have one in Norwich.

Been in Sacro a few times and always enjoyed the food. Plenty of seating spaces available, great selection of drinks, food can be ordered via QR code which is very convenient.

Lovely place, nice and cosy atmosphere, good food as well. I can't wait to visit again 😄

Staff are lovely, the food is nice. Nice relaxed atmosphere in there, easy to order, use the app or go to the bar. I went by myself and felt very comfortable in there.

Great food, good vibes great service what more could you ask for?

We visit here every time we are in the area, and it is always brilliant! Lovely setting, staff are wonderful and food is incredible! Between us we had a couple of burgers (the diablo smash burger was great), a brunch and the pasta (pictured). Good variety of drinks and although we didn't have allergies, it seemed that these would be well catered for. The menu was clearly laid out for different diets too.

Fantastic, cosy place to eat. The cottage pie was delicious and the sausages were some of the best we’ve had. We took some carrot cake home, very tasty. Lovely, friendly people and a great place to enjoy a quick meal.

The Best full English I've ever had! We went in on Saturday morning for something to set us up for the day and were not disappointed. The owner served us and was really friendly. I had a delicious mocha and a full English, my partner had a latte and full English, the food came out very hot and cooked to perfection. I ordered a sandwich and drink to takeaway for my dinner, yet to report on that but I'm sure it'll be as delicious as everything else. I think we've found our regular breakfast place, can't wait to go back!

Popped in for breakfast after a sunrise hike and had the most delicious breakfast I’ve ever had. It was all very tasty. Finished with the carrot cake - 10/10. The only downfall was the coffee - not the best but the food was amazing. Thank you Mark

Great Atmosphere, great selection of food breakfast and coffees, very clean, lots of people sat enjoying the food, this was on a local cycling route so stopped for a coffee and brownie great quality would highly recommend 5🌟

Been in today and had tea and cake, cake was spot on and the owners/staff very friendly

Telephone order nice and helpful on the phone, 2 delicious butties one bacon and cheese toastie and one sausage egg and bacon! Definitely going to be a regular stop of when passing through!!

The food is nice and the service even nicer

Buxton Pudding emporium is located in the town centre of Buxton. We ordered coffee, mince pie, bagle and pizza. The food and coffee is average while the taste of mince pie is so so. Service is good as the lady who serves us is welcoming.

The scones were warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious — easily some of the best I’ve had! The service was equally impressive: attentive, friendly, and always with a smile. A lovely experience from start to finish!

Really welcoming and friendly staff, even my dog was greeted with a treat and fresh water from the bowl. Bought a pudding to try at home and was delighted to hear all about how it was made. Coffee was divine too and it was refreshing to be greeted so warmly when turning up 10 minutes before closing. Thank you

Lovely local cafe with good selection of salads, sandwiches, home made soup. Best GF sandwich in the area.

Popped in for a coffee and had to try the famous Buxton pudding too! Delicious 🤤 We got one to share, served warm with homemade custard in a little jug. Chai Latte was excellent too and accommodated oat milk. Small quirky setting with some very interesting artwork on the walls.

A lovely shop selling lots of indie brands of goods. We came to try out the puddings and they were delicious!! They also have a selection of cakes and sausage rolls. They’re also dog friendly inside the cafe area!

A wonderfully kept café, for snacks, sandwiches, cakes, teas, and coffees. Only small, but great atmosphere to read or write letters. Lovely staff. If you find you need a large meal, I would suggest you eat elsewhere, but save space for pudding, then come and have that here, as they really are the best puddings in town. It has a lovely gift shop too.

Lovely pub, friendly people. Suzanne and Martin are wonderful and welcoming. Also great for watching football. We visited Buxton last week and was recommended to go to 19th Hole and was pleased we did. Definitely would recommend anyone going to Buxton to visit.

Had a brilliant time,Suzanne and Martin are absolutely fantastic, warm, and welcoming. The service was spot on, with a great atmosphere and friendly staff who made us feel right at home, quiz night was engaging and so much fun. A real gem of a place!

This is a wonderful little pub !! It’s small but not cramped, far from it, a very neat beer garden out back which is really private and lovely to sit out on a warm summer evening with cosy lighting as the sun sets. The hosts are very warm and welcoming. Now I just can’t leave this review without commenting on the loos …the gents are clean and fresh (he says they were good), but the ladies were awesome, immaculate and well stocked for feminine hygiene needs, wonderful scented hand wash. Very good evening out .

The Nineteenth hole is an incredible little pub, truly the epitome of great British pubs, good drinks, great company and the landlords clearly absolutely love what they do! I would recommend the 19th hole to anyone visiting Buxton, it’s traditional and has the greatest little live in dog called Frankie, the owners are clearly incredibly passionate about the pub and it’s local and regular constituents. They show all motor sport games on the multiple televisions and have made a great attempt to cater to all ages of patrons! Will definitely continue to visit the nineteenth hole, not only because it’s our local pub but also because it’s a pub that feels like home and truly displays the value that pubs like this bring to the world, truly bringing people together

An older people's group meet there on a Monday afternoon. The hosts Suzanne and Martin could not be more welcoming and friendly and the refreshments are excellent. Cannot fault the pub at all!

If I could describe the 19th hole in one word? It would be: Homely. The surroundings to the pub are beautiful, the land lord is a legend and so charming. My family and I always come for christmas. All ages welcome. All dogs welcomed as long as they are behaved. You will always have a lovely experience when you stop off. At the Nineteenth Hole.

A great place to go before and after golf. Great service and beer - I wish we had the 19th hole pub near me. Thanks all for the warm welcome

From the second you walk through the door, you are treated like a regular! Amazingly welcoming and so friendly. Has an obvious regular clientele who were also friendly and welcoming. I can’t recommend Seasons enough!

Excellent local bar with a good variety of craft beers & seltzers with wine and cocktail service. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, cute decor with a nice buzz. Limited selection of craft beer cans for take away. Loved it!🍻

We had the great please of stumbling across this bar on a bright Sunday afternoon. The choice of beers was very good and the barman/ owner was knowledgeable and able to recommend a really nice ale. My wife said the rose wine was so good she will be looking for it at the wine merchants. Next time we are in Buxton we will be returning to Seasons.

Stayed in Buxton for a few nights and enjoyed Seasons so much went back to try more beers! The beer flight board was a great introduction to the impressive draft range, and the wine flight board was a great experience too. All our drinks were excellent and the service, knowledge and friendliness of the owner was a breath of fresh air. Heartily recommend!!

Fab beer, great wine, delightful owners, we couldn't ask for anything more! Can't wait to come back next time we are in Buxton.

COME FOR THE CHEESE BOARD! Hidden gem - we came here for a post dinner drink and were surprised with the most delicious cheese board we’ve been lucky enough to encounter. This place has a cracking wine & beer selection (we had an excellent cleansing Verdant ale). The staff were a huge part of the experience - very friendly (particularly to our dog). We can’t recommend this place enough - thanks so much guys!

The atmosphere was brilliant the staff helpful and friendly. The locals made you feel really at home.
