Slug & Lettuce in Derby is a lively cocktail bar that's spot on for a good time with friends, boasting top service and fun events, though it does get hectic at times.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant, always attentive and full of personality – they really make the visit memorable, like how Liv and Gina went above and beyond for those hen parties and birthdays.
  • They've got a cracking selection of cocktails and food, with deals like bottomless brunch that make it perfect for a fun day out or celebrating with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty busy, especially on weekends or for events, so you might end up waiting around or finding it a bit cramped.
  • No one under 18 after 8:30pm, which means it's not ideal if you're planning a family outing that runs late into the evening.

BABY M in Derby is a cracking little bar with stellar service, amazing drinks, and great vibes for a night out, though it's only open on Sundays so you'll need to time it right.

The Flowerpot in Derby is a gem for real ale and live music fans, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes for great nights out, though a few niggles like tricky access keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The real ale selection is top-notch, with a great variety that ale enthusiasts will absolutely love.
  • Live music and gigs are a real highlight – it's a fabulous spot for catching tribute bands or dancing the night away.
Areas for Improvement
  • The location can feel a bit awkward to get to, tucked away as it is, so it might take a moment to find your way.
  • Some drinks, like the wine, have had issues such as bubbles from the glass washing, which can put a dampener on things.

The Exeter Arms is a real charmer in Derby, blending that classic rural pub vibe with cracking food and drinks in the city centre – it's a top spot for a relaxed get-together.
Pros and Cons

  • The food is absolutely spot on – award-winning pub grub with a modern twist, from tasty pies and kebabs to adventurous international dishes, all at a reasonable price
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy, especially on evenings and weekends, so it's wise to book ahead to snag a table and avoid any waiting around
  • The closing times might feel a tad early on some days, which could cut short your evening if you're hoping for a late-night pint

  • Stunning riverside location with a brilliant beer garden, ideal for soaking up the sun and enjoying views of the river Derwent.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit quiet during the week, so if you're after a buzzing vibe, you might find it more relaxed than rowdy.
  • Not much on the food front from what I've seen, so it might not be the best spot if you're looking for a hearty meal alongside your drink.

Areas for Improvement

Popworld - Derby

Verified
4.5(388 reviews)
89/100
Popworld in Derby is a cracking spot for a lively night out, with friendly service and feel-good music that keeps the energy high and the good times rolling.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – especially folks like Caitlin, who go above and beyond to make your night feel special and welcoming, just like chatting with a mate at the bar.
  • The atmosphere is spot on for a proper party; think cheesy pop tunes that get everyone dancing, along with fun cocktails and cracking drink deals that keep the vibes high.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open a few days a week, mostly late evenings, so it might not suit if you're after a quick pint on a quiet night or during the day.
  • The focus is all on partying and late-night fun, which means it can get pretty noisy and crowded – not the best if you're in the mood for a relaxed chat over drinks.

The Golden Eagle is a gem of a pub in Derby with a warm, welcoming vibe and solid ales, though it has a few niggles like outdated facilities that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The bar staff are incredibly welcoming and make you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • It's got a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, perfect for a quiet pint without any hassle or drama.
Areas for Improvement
  • The hand dryers in the toilets weren't working during one visit, which is a bit of a nuisance when you're trying to freshen up.
  • The outside could do with a spruce-up, like adding a proper sign or some colour to the mural, as it doesn't quite live up to the lovely interior.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can get incredibly busy, especially around holidays or weekends, which might mean a bit of a wait for service or a table.
  • The opening hours seem a tad confusing from what I've seen, with some listings suggesting early closes, so it's worth double-checking before you head out.

Areas for Improvement
  • The beer selection isn't the most extensive; one chap mentioned they didn't have Guinness on tap, which might disappoint if you're after a wider range of options.
  • There seems to be a bit of confusion with the opening hours, as the schedule lists multiple times for Sundays, which could leave you scratching your head about when it's actually open beyond the typical midday start.

Mr Grundy's Tavern is a charming Derby spot with a warm, welcoming vibe, cracking food, and lively events, though the drink prices might make you think twice.
Pros and Cons

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and always go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, like chatting about the perfect latte or helping out with a smile.
  • The food is delicious and offers great value, with tasty pizzas and hearty meals that hit the spot without emptying your wallet.
Areas for Improvement

The Abbey is a charming historic pub in Derby with cracking beer and food, but its no-nonsense rules might put off those after a more relaxed vibe.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The historic setting and stunning interior really make you feel like you're stepping back in time – it's got that authentic, cosy charm.
  • They serve up great beer and lovely food, which always hits the spot for a proper pub meal.
Areas for Improvement
  • The strict rules, like no phones or swearing, can feel a bit heavy-handed and might spoil the fun for some.
  • The barman tends to be on the grumpy side and enforces things quite sternly, which isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Bess of Hardwick is a lively Derby pub with a cracking atmosphere and good-value drinks, but the door staff can sometimes spoil the fun.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely brilliant, especially with the big screen music outside – it's a real highlight for a night out in Derby.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, making it a wallet-friendly spot to enjoy a pint or two with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The door staff can be a bit rude and overly strict, sometimes turning folks away without a proper explanation, which puts a damper on things.
  • It has that rough and ready vibe, like a spit and sawdust pub, which might not appeal if you're after something more polished.

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home, just like chatting with mates down the local.
  • It's got a cracking atmosphere, perfect for watching the footy or rugby on a big screen, with plenty of room to relax.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours seem a bit muddled from what I've seen, so it's worth double-checking before heading over.
  • No website means it's trickier to get the latest updates or menus online, which can be a bit of a faff.

The Victoria Inn is a cracking little pub in Derby with a top-notch selection of beers and a buzzing events scene, though it's wise to keep an eye on your cards when you're settling up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant – they've got six real ales that rotate weekly, plus 12 traditional ciders and a good mix of keg beers and spirits, making it a real treat for ale enthusiasts.
  • The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with live music every Friday and Saturday featuring local talent, and fun events like quizzes and bingo on Mondays that keep things lively and community-oriented.
Areas for Improvement
  • There was that unfortunate incident in one review where someone had their card cloned after paying, which is a bit worrying and might make you think twice about how you handle payments there.
  • As a smaller pub, it might feel a tad cramped during busier events or evenings, so if you're after more space to spread out, it could be a downside.

  • The food and cocktails are a real treat; think tasty Cuban-inspired tapas, superb afternoon teas, and delicious drinks that capture that tropical vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • Portions can be on the small side, especially for vegan mains, which might leave you wanting more for the price you're paying.
  • Some dishes, like the nachos, haven't hit the mark for everyone, so it might not be perfect if you're after consistently stellar food.

Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few hiccups with the bouncers, like some folks nearly getting turned away, which could spoil the start of your evening.
  • Food options are a bit limited since the kitchen's only open for private parties, so if you're after a proper meal, you might need to head elsewhere or plan ahead.

Areas for Improvement

  • Some of the door staff can be a bit rude and unprofessional, which might spoil the mood when you're trying to get in.
  • It seems like not everyone has a smooth experience with security, as they've been described as antisocial and focused on their phones instead of the job.

The Bishop Blaise is a hidden gem in Derby, offering a warm, welcoming vibe with top-notch drinks and events, though it does get cosy when it's busy.

The White Horse in Derby is a lively, music-loving pub with friendly vibes and decent beers, but it has its occasional hiccups with events and local characters.
Pros and Cons
