A quirky pub reached through the archway of the Red Lion hotel. The lower side of the split level bar has a flat entrance. The decor is an eclectic mix of nicknacks, mostly bright coloured, blended into the fabric of the old hotel.
There are five beers on hand pump, serving a changing range of beers from small breweries, plus cider in boxes. There are also thirteen taps for Craft beers, and a keg cider. There is no hot food but a large variety of crisps and nuts are always available and local “Smith Hall" Pork Pies and cheese platters are usually an option. Also, customers may take their own food to eat in the pub.
For those that do not know - a Feather Star is the name for a Crinoid fossil found locally in the limestone around Wirksworth.
Due to retirement the Red Lion was sold in 2021 and in Feb 2022 the premises were split into three separate businesses, and the Feather Star relocated there from 15 St Johns St., alongside the Umami Restaurant and hotel accommodation.
Historic Interest
Dating from the 1770s, this is a traditional town hotel with Georgian frontage and a large coaching archway entrance. The public bar is in "baronial" style with impressive timber ceiling structure and a fine bar-back with central clock. There is also a carved fireplace with large mirror over. Up a steep slope at the back is a boules court and small elevated garden.
