We went there to celebrate xmas night. We entered in ok but was soon singled out for being people of colour. Me and 3 mates were kicked out for not buying enough drinks even though all “white” people were not buying drinks either. The black bouncer was embarrassed himself for kicking us out. Do not recommend that at all

Within a minute of walking in, the dance-floor security woman was harassing me and my friends to buy a drink or leave. She was very rude. Worse, she didn't say anything to others around us without drinks. We typically buy several rounds on a night out, but chose not to do so there. We will not be returning in a hurry

Was kicked out for no reasons was on dance floor with 3 friends and then suddenly the staff called security over and got all 4 of us kicked out! We were the only brown gentleman in the bar. I feel this place is unsuitable for anyone who is not the right fit.

Went there tonight and the manger, shouting at her staff,I didn't like what she said to her so I went and told her she was nasty cow , and she hit me . I'm now at police station for assault. It should be on CV TV .

Nice bar. Music a bit repetitive and loud. Could need a better JD. Bar staff friendly but slow. Not enough seats or tables for a bar.

This bar wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea but if your after a cheap night out with music and dancing it could be for you. All ages and types of people in here, generally for those of us past our clubbing days but who want to go into town and enjoy the weekend atmosphere.

Security was very over the top and handsy. Definitely they could have been more diplomatic. As much as I understand it can be hard for security to make sense of 2 separate/ conflicting versions of events I don't feel they really made any reasonable steps to find out what actually occured or ask politely for anyone to leave or step away from the situation. In my opinion it was just grab and kettle. Force first ask questions second and seeing as the main people involved were all women I can't help but feel they didn't do there job correctly. As a male bystander I wasn't at any point scared for me or anyone involved, this wasn't a dangerous group of men which could spill in to all out violence, it was a couple of middle aged women exchanging unpleasantries, there was no need for the reaction that occurred...

Me and a friend was a victim of unprovoked assault last night. The bouncers did nothing about the situation. Not a safe place to be at - especially as a young adult

Can I please opologise for calling the doorman a w*****r. However he judged me for for being for having to much to drink before I even I spoke to him. Yes I had I had a few but door-staff like that you certainly do not need. I believe I was perfectly fine until he he came over aggressive. I only fought my corner. Door staff like that you don't need. reading some more reviews it appears that the security staff are power crazy.

Great music .Brilliant staff .Just a shame that people will manage to smash a whole pint on the dance floor soaking others in the process .The staff keep on top of it as much as possible .The toilets are ok at start of the night unfortunately as good as the people using them so drunk sick peeps dieing in a cubicle while People wait .You are less likely to see fights as the door staff don't stand for it .An older clientelle as over 25 means less giggling groups and stag or hen which suits me Sarah Smith

I’ve not been into town since 2012, and I must say. Coming to this bar and getting my drink spiked. That I definitely will not be attending this place again. I’m so disappointed that this kind of behaviour still goes on. And I wasn’t the only person to get my drink spiked that night from this place. Just be careful ladies.

The Metro bar is one of the last drinks of the night type of places. It's got an over 25s clientele that want a good night out and are by 12am usually drunk enough to be acting like kids. The music is too loud for the size of the venue and there isn't a lot in the way of seating. Having said this the atmosphere more than makes up for the places short comings and drinks are an average price when compared to other venues.

Whatever you do, don't ever go in slightly slightly drunk. We had an over zealous security guard ask us to leave because we sat on a chair he thought was in the way. We argued and got thrown out. His colleague wasn't interested in us and agreed. Classic case of someone feeling more superior than he was. Have never been thrown out of anywhere before. Will not be going back ever!!! Even my hairdresser shuddered when we said we'd been there. says everything!!!

It's a shame that such a great and fun place like Metrobar is only worth 2 stars... Great oldie music, reasonable and competitive prices as well as a nicely located venue. Only due to human factor I can suffice to give it 2 stars. Security personnel is rude and lacks empathy and understanding. If you happen to come by in a good mood or tipsy, make sure to play the entrance by the book. If you don't, your entry can surely be prohibited without any explanation or reasoning, even if you kindly ask for it.

A real dive. If you're looking for one of the slummiest places in Derby to drink this is the spot. If you do decide to brave the substandard drinks please use the toilet elsewhere as you'll probably end up catching some as yet undiscovered illness

This used to be my go-to food spot at merry hill. But there was only one lady serving food and 2 guys walking around in circles as I was waiting. Once my order was taken the portion size was okay. But the food was awful. The salt and pepper chicken was way too salty and not even edible. It was all cooked from frozen low quality ingredients. Such a shame as used to really enjoy this. There are much better and cheaper places to eat and merry hill
