| Another backstreet pub that it takes an effort to find. But this one is better known because it’s in the GBG. Entering from the door on the street corner, the first impression is of enormous space (the pub has been much expanded over the years). You have to through at least 2 seating areas before you get to the bar. There were 5 or 6 real ales available, though none of them were wildly exciting. I tried the Double Maxim – which was OK, but too cold for my liking. This pub appears ot specialise on live music, and there was a long list of forthcoming acts. Hope they are better than the rubbish piped music that was playing when I was there ! Football was being shown on a big screen TV. I sat in one of the plush seats and watched for 5 mins Martinsh - 29 Mar 2015 23:18 |
| Set on a relatively modern estate, on the northern outskirts of the Derby City Centre CAMRA crawl. A couple of large rooms with a pool table in one and at the bar about four real ales including Salopian Lemon Dream. Very much a Community pub, quite busy for early Friday evening. In one room, a family with young children running about freely put us slightly on edge; in the other room, the noise of Sky Sports competing with background music created a different kind of din. Overall, probably fine if this is your local, but a little too noisy for us to feel relaxed or stay long. One to try if in the area, but not to travel for. Roy22 - 21 Aug 2014 18:42 |
| Vastly improved from a few years ago. Good selection of ales and welcoming landlord. ng10 - 10 Aug 2011 08:42 |
| Great back street local. Exactly what a pub should be, serving its local community well but providing interesting beers and live music to entice people to travel from elsewhere. Look out for the occasional beer festival which is worth travelling for. Is a good starting point for a west end crawl. twohalves - 7 May 2011 12:38 |
| Fantastic community pub, hidden away in a pleasant residential areas. Quiet on a Monday, but exceptional quality Bass and a decent atmosphere. Good to see Derby CAMRA focuing on beer quality (the Royal Standard is a didfferent story !) mtaylor40 - 4 Feb 2010 22:48 |
