Aruba

You'll find Aruba tucked away on Holywell Street, that stretch of Chesterfield where locals actually drink rather than tourists trawl. It's the kind of place where the regulars know the staff by name and the vibe shifts depending on who's in—could be quiet and contemplative on a Tuesday afternoon, could be properly lively when there's a match on. The pub does straightforward food and drinks without trying to be anything it's not, which is precisely why people keep coming back. It's honest work, honestly done.
