Decent place with a good range of different beer. Just went there before a football match. This place was a lot better than the match...

A nice brewpub with a good selection of their own beers and guest ones too (2010).

Very well kept ales and a decent selection of their own. Good atmosphere.

I went here last night in search of new beers and with 16 hand-pulls on I couldn’t quite believe what I’d walked into. Superb atmosphere, friendly staff, fairly cheap, I’ve been in other good pubs in Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool and paid nearly £3 a pint and more, its around £2.50 a pint on average in here. Decent selection of ales, and fast service considering how packed it was. This is highly recommended visit on a trip to Derby

Service is average. Like an old person’s home in here when I came. Brunswick beer’s aren’t great, but the Timmy Taylor Landlord was in stunning condition.

Visited this place for an hour or so an a Thursday evening so it was a bit quiet, certainly an ’old man pub’. It’s the only place I’ve seen serving ale in 1920’s style dimpled tankards, pleasant enough though, with a very antiquated feel. They seem to serve just their own beers (no bad thing) and a few macro lagers and such. Only tried one of their beers but it was pretty good. Would be interesting to visit again and try a few.

An excellent brewpub, producing some interesting beers, regularly including a few darker and stronger examples. Nice multi-roomed building. I hear the food is quite good as well. Very close to the railway station and the Alexandra Hotel. With around 6 guest ales from various breweries and around 6 of their onw, it’s a place where finding new and interesting beers will be very easy indeed and comfortable, welcoming enough to spend a few hours. Excellent.

Everything a backstreet English Pub should be hardly detectable from the outside warm and welcoming inside lots of space a fine array of beers, including their own. Service can be slow at times, but there is lots of atmosphere to absorb. This is definitely my favorite Derby pub.

Visited frequently as my dad lives close to Derby Great building reminds me a little of how Bennetts (Wine Vaults) Used to be in Banbury. Has a good selection of beers, though had to take one back on last visit as not up to scratch, service was also a bit slack, maybe I’ve just visited it at the wrong time, on both occasions I’ve been on a Saturday afternoon.

Took this one in in a break from the Derby Beer Festival. Very nice pub, multi roomed. Large selection of ales, including from their own brewery. Food was good, nice home cooking, took a little while to come, but you expect this, I suppose. Staff were really friendly, advised me on what was good, and were very clued up.
