Coach and Horses, Derbyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Forget the previous ale range. That was actually the selection in Ye Olde Dolphin Inn! Here there was actually Sharps Atlantic, Brains The Rev James, Exmoor Gold, Bass and the Westons Country Perry.

Not the best of pubs we tried in Derby. But the city does have a really good selection of pubs. So this is by no means a criticism. Ales were Brains The Rev James, St Austell Proper Job, Greene King Abbot, Sharps Doom Bar, Bass, Purity Ubu, Robinsons Trooper, Timothy Taylor Landlord & Sharps Atlantic. Westons Country Perry was also on. This pub is worth combining with the Little Chester Ale House.

Pretty much a locals pub this one. The central area by the bar is a bit dimpsy, but its a large rambling place, which a lot lighter by the windows. There are large screen TVs, but they are not instrusive, and there are plenty of places where you can sit and avoid them. Actually, I did watch for a change, as they were showing the Ryder Cup golf.
There were three real ales available (think there was room for a couple more too). And I had an awdul choice to make as (although pretty standard) they were three of my all time favourite beers :- Bass, Brains SA, and Exmoor Gold. Anyone like to guess which one I chose ?

Comfortable pub welcoming locals and strangers alike and full to the brim on Sunday when we visited. Four beers were available when we were there, the ubiquitous Bass, Exmoor Gold, Hooky Bitter and Caledonian Mild Mayhem which was served from the jug. The Hooky bitter was sampled and was In good form.

Definitely agree with MTaylor. The Bass was fine and the welcome was very friendly indeed. They are making a special effort with a few real ales and discount for CAMRA members. Big screen Skysports as well.
Doing well from the overspill who can't fit into the Little Chester Ale House.

Friendly locals pub with OK Bass but a warm welcome.

In need of some tlc. Shame because it used to be a nice pub. Nothing special on offer at the bar.
