Un lugar increíble con un propietario maravilloso, Mark. Vamos como un grupo de micrófono abierto con canto y poesía en una de las salas. Mark es INCREÍBLE, lo que lo convierte en una excelente noche.

Dropped in one Monday evening, was very guilt clientele wise but fairly loud music playing over the speakers. Decent pint of two at reasonable price.

One of the server's got upset with the table service what's provided. Granted the bar was in reaching distance, however it sells to the customers. More training needed. Please don't put all the staff in this bracket. Really a enjoyable experience. 👍👍👍

The DBA is an openly queer pub, with strong old man pub vibes, which is the dream imo. Hosts all kinds of stuff from quiz nights to raves. All in all, somewhere it is safe to be yourself and feel like you belong.

Proper grass roots raving venue ❤️ great vibe full of happy, smiley lovely people. All the staff are ace, Hannah the bouncer is everything a bouncer should be - she is a massive credit to DBA. Water station is a great touch too 👌

Terrible experience, chatted to the bar staff in a friendly manor to then be barred by the baseball cap wearing idiot manager, worst rated pub in Manchester and you can see why

Incredible pub and events space. The DBA hosts so many amazing events where people are beaming with smiles dancing. The sound system is fantastic, the crowd it attracts is welcoming, kind, open, inclusive and accepting of others. The staff are gorgeous human beings who put a huge amount of love into the place. During the week, expect a calmer, normal pub vibe where you can chill out with mates, and then on weekends you can party. Often, you can do both where there is music in the back room and quieter seated areas at the front. Drinks are good value and there is a wide selection. I have also attended art therapy workshops here during the weekdays which have been really interesting and rewarding, and so different to be able to to that in a pub setting. Best of both worlds, try it out for yourself and see with an open mind! You might surprise yourself!

Somehow a pub with usually no more than 2 staff members, in the middle of nowhere is an underground oasis for live events, queer raves and private hire. Love it.

Draft beer is by far the best I've had at a Joseph Holt - most likely due to the brewery being literally down the street - would highly recommend 👌

Bit a of a funny vibe to be honest. Looked like a traditional Holts' pub on the exterior but on the interior was pretty hectic. Neon lights and very loud music. Probably would have enjoyed had we not been just looking for a decent pint of ale. If you're after a club vibe without going to a club then this may be for you.

My friends and I were use to go to the Derby all the time when Mary Heff was landlady. There was a large group of us. Pool players, dart players, boxing teams. We all used to meet up in there. But now the new landlord Mark says “He does not want these type of people in the pub”. Disgusting. I was just wondering if he means hard working, tax payers older people. Last night was the first night of the new pool league season. Only a hour before it was meant to start, Mark cancelled it. Just think how much money he lost in just one evening, from all the drinks he would of sold. So the two teams and all their friends went to play at the snooker club instead. He’s a really silly guy.

Visited the Fort and double backed as this place looked welcoming. It was. Landlord friendly and told me about Holt's brewery just behind the pub. I had a point of their diamond later and an American style IPA which I never knew Holt's did. Both excellent. Was mid Saturday afternoon, weather was great so was quite quiet but did acquire a fair few other interesting souls

Nice revamp shame about the lack of customer service. Been in twice since reopening and both times walked away without being served at my table after filling in covid forms and waiting 20 minutes to be served in an empty pub. More concerned about outside customers buying rounds of drinks and having a chat in the evening sun. Also who’s idea is it to play techno dance music in the background again. I think the lack of regulars says it all.

He estado aquí varias veces y siempre lo he disfrutado. Es un buen ambiente relajado y como mujer me sentiría cómoda viniendo aquí sola, a diferencia de la mayoría de los otros lugares de shisha en los que he estado. No he comido la comida recientemente, así que mi reseña se basa solo en la shisha, las bebidas y el ambiente. Nunca he tenido una mala shisha aquí. Los batidos son geniales y el personal es acogedor y amable. Suelen mostrar partidos de fútbol en la televisión, lo que es genial para mí. Los baños están muy limpios y cuidados.
