About This Pub

Ah, The Neptune – what a lovely spot it is in Derby! From what I've gathered from the reviews and a bit of my own thinking, it's one of those pubs that just hits the mark for a good night out or a casual visit. The atmosphere is spot on; it's cosy and full of character, making you feel like you're among mates right away. The beers are a highlight too – plenty of choices, served perfectly, and at prices that won't break the bank, like that £4.40 pint mentioned. Staff are brilliant, always up for a chat and quick to sort you out, which really adds to the charm. It's also great for catching live sport, so if you're into that, it's a winner. On the flip side, being a smaller place, it can get a bit packed, especially on busier days, and you might not fancy it if you're after more space to spread out. Plus, their online setup isn't quite up to scratch, so planning ahead could be a faff. All in all, though, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for a proper pub experience in Derby – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as the positives far outweigh the little niggles.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The atmosphere is absolutely brilliant – it's cosy and intimate, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a cracking selection of beers, including refreshing options like Coors, all served with a smile and at reasonable prices.
  • The staff are top-notch – friendly, quick with service, and the landlord really adds to the welcoming vibe.
  • It's a great spot for watching live sport on the TVs, perfect if you're popping in for a pint and some excitement.
  • Overall, it's just what you'd hope for in a traditional pub, with a lively yet relaxed feel that's ideal for a weekend break or a quick stop.
Cons
  • It's a tad on the small side, which means it can get quite busy and feel a bit cramped during peak times.
  • Their online presence isn't the strongest – the website had some issues when I checked, so it might be tricky to get all the details beforehand.

I had a wonderful time at The Neptune in Derby. This charming, small pub offers a cozy and intimate atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. I enjoyed a refreshing Coors, which was perfectly chilled and served with a smile. The pub may be small, but it’s full of character and friendly people, both patrons and staff alike. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making sure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of. The locals add to the warm vibe, creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment. It’s the kind of place where you can easily strike up a conversation and make new friends. Overall, The Neptune is a hidden gem in Derby, offering a great selection of drinks in a cozy setting. It’s perfect for a casual night out or a quick stop for a refreshing drink. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a friendly, down-to-earth pub experience. Five stars all the way!
