About This Pub
Ah, BABY M – what a gem tucked away in Derby! From chatting through the reviews, it sounds like a proper winner for anyone after a good time. The staff really stand out; they're described as genuinely lovely and helpful, whether you're hosting a big bash like a 50th birthday or just dropping in for drinks. The cocktails are spot on, and the music adds that extra buzz – it's loud and bassy in the main area, which is brilliant if you're in the mood to feel the beat, but they've got a chill zone too for when you fancy a more relaxed chat. It's clearly a hit for private events or even gigs with up-and-coming DJs, with folks loving the space and decor. On the downside, though, it's only open those couple of days a week, mostly Sundays, so it might not be the easiest spot for a spontaneous pint. And with the website playing up, you might struggle to get the lowdown online before heading over. All in all, if you're in the area on the right day, I'd say give it a go – it's got that warm, welcoming feel that makes for a memorable evening, but just keep those opening times in mind to avoid disappointment.

The couple were brilliant from start to finish very helpful & really lovely genuine good people. Had my Mrs 50th party here. Great little place with craicing cocktails & drinks. Highly recommend for a fantastic night out or private hire.
I have been to Baby M a few times now. Absolutely wicked little venue. Never had any trouble with anyone and the vibes are always top tier.
When you’re in the main room the music is loud and bassy. Proper feel it. But then you go into the next room to the bar and it’s a lot more chill (but still fairly loud).
Congratulations on one of the best night's out and service I've had. I travel a lot on business (not this year) and have some bad and good places. If you want an amazing night out with amazing friendly staff and great music then please go to this place. If I had a nightclub the staff woman and guy I met tonight would be running it.
Visited for a private function. Brilliant venue! Love the decor, brilliant space for a party lots of space. Staff were all amazing for such a busy night, also super friendly! Great location. Will definitely be back!
I went to a gig the other night. Really nice venue idea for up and coming djs. It's definitely worth checking out
