Not a place I go regularly but it's nicely decorated and very good on match days.

A rather soulless attempt to create an American bar inside a large cavernous building with minimal décor and an atmosphere to match. One cask beer available Everards Tiger which was drinkable but nothing special. Large room out the back with half a dozen pool tables. Sky Sports on a couple of plasma’s which was what lured me in, to check the scores in the test match. Can’t really see me repeating the experience should I be in Derby again, especially as the excellent Brunswick is only a couple of minutes away.

Beer is a bit pricey but the quality is decent and if you only want to stop off for one between trains this is a sound place to go...

I visited the Waterfall three weeks ago,
whilst waiting for a train, I was in the pub
for about an hour and a half, i thought it was
very pleasant, clean and had great atmosphere.
The staff were really friendly, i got talking to the manager there, Dave, a very friendly bloke and very cute!

Only tend to go in on match days so my view is conditioned by that; has a great atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon & I usually go in after the match and watch the Prem live game. They have Tiger and now Adnam's Broadside on tap & both up to good standard.

We visited the Waterfall on Sunday in desperation for lunch as the Brunswick only had limited sandwiches and the Alexandria wasn't doing food. It is a cavernous place and was almost empty. The one Real Ale (Everards Tiger I think) was OK but not great. The food was pretty average, but quick to arrive. Not a place I would visit again by choice.

This pub opposite Derby railway station is housed in the old Railway Institute. But despite this impression of tradition it tries hard to be a swanky bar with its associated gym.
For a long time it only ever sold expensive beers and lagers and never sold crisps. It has now succumbed to reality and does at least sell Pringles (presumedly because they are slightly more upmarket than ordinary crisps).
This pub is cavernous and every movement you makes echoes around the bar. This is made worse by the fact that, except on match days, it hardly has any customers. How it stays open when its only customers are people waiting for delayed trains or people who work in the nearby rail offices is a miracle.
