Service was good and friendly considering the place was absolutely rammed with it being a match day. Beer was top notch. A nice walk along the river to get to the football stadium and only a short walk to the train station, a perfect spot for some football beers

First time here. Pleasant greeting from the owner , plenty of craft ales to choose from along with the traditional ones,plus there is food is available here. So on walking in the main bar area is ordained with railway memorabilia on the walls along with a network southeast working station time clock. There is a secondary room here with a small bar area that’s full of old pub signs. A pleasant few hours spent here. For the train enthusiasts amongst us there’s a locomotive cab standing in the car parking area !

What a belting little boozer this is. It was rammed packed but with loads of staff on duty. We got there just after football had finished. There were loads of train memorabilia which my pals loved and the choice of ales was great. We stayed in for 2 pints. I was drinking 'Highway to Hell" lovely ale. Dead friendly local people we chatted to and the atmosphere was great. Well done to this place.

What a fantastic traditional pub nicely situated not far from the railway and bus stations. The two main rooms were adorned with either railway or brewery memorabilia. The welcome was very warm, and the selection of real ales, fruity IPAs and Stouts - all perfectly kept - was great. Tried the North Riding Coconut Stout which was one of the nicest beers I’ve tasted all at a reasonable price - and even cheaper with a CAMRA card. Snacks are also available, in fact it is the only pub I’ve been in that does guest snacks! Won’t be long before I’ll be going back.

If you're in Derby and want cask beer you have to go here, probably the best kept cask beer in Derby with a constantly changing line up alongside two or three on keg and a large selection of craft and continental cans and bottles. Also definitely worth noting that they regularly have Pentrich, in fact it's almost Pentrich's unofficial tap room with it available on cask, keg, and canned. The cans and bottles are available to take out as is the cask and keg in 2 and 4 pint carry-out. Good range of snacks including a range of cold pies, peanuts, crisps, homemade sausage rolls and freshly made cobs to order. Fairly basic inside with a railway theme, it's also got a simple but deceptively spacious beer garden. Look out for themed food events, as they're always worth going to.

Traditional pub (& hotel) with an uncommonly large selection of rotating cask ales, real ales. Fairly typical, simple but comfortable-enough interior, competent staff, neighbourhood atmosphere (unlike at the rowdier, nearby The Brunswick). This place has a good reputation among Derby real ale drinkers, and it's conveniently located close to Derby Midland Station - and thus, a 10 minute walk from the city centre. Open till late. Had some fairly good ales there, including a relatively rare can of Thornbridge Chaipur, not to be confused with Jaipur. Moderate prices.

Surprised there aren't more reviews for this 'proper' cafe. Lots of simple, but filling choices - the usuals on toast, chip cobs, sandwiches, full meals etc - for excellent value prices. Fed 2 hungry kids and myself with drinks with change from £10 - try and do that elsewhere! Service was efficient, food arrived quickly. It tasted great and with good portion sizes.

It was in 1979 as a 18yr old I and the youth of the day use to call into this wonderful propper café. The days of Anti pasti the punk band of derby who use to hang out on old derby Market place along with all the other people who use to call and eat or just drink the really good coffee and tea that use to be served here . I became homeless at around 20 yrs of age and every Thursday for reasons I'm still not sure of I use to always call into the Acropolis for either breakfast or a really hearty afternoon meal . It is such a shame to hear that the place has closed down. Another sad blow to derby I am sad to say . I can honestly say that the my memories of the place and the staff who worked there is one of gratefulness. The place literally kept me alive at a very dark period of my life . The food was brilliant and plentiful. Not sure if anyone who owned the place back then or who worked there back in the late 70s will read this but the Acropolis cafe saved my life . Sounds a bit odd I know but trust me to be able to have a lovely hot meal at affordable prices and a hot drink saved my life . Thank you all at Acropolis. That café has always always and will always hold a special place in my Heart 💙 . Such a loss . Thank you Barry . Xx

If you're looking for a top Shisha experience, look no further than Kravings Shisha Lounge! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance welcomes you with warm colours, comfortable seating, and an overall relaxing atmosphere. The highlight of this lounge is undoubtedly the service. The staff is incredibly attentive and genuinely friendly, making you feel right at home. They are knowledgeable about the various shisha flavours and are more than happy to recommend options based on your preferences. Our server was quick to bring our order and frequently checked in to ensure we were enjoying our time without being intrusive. The extensive menu offers a variety of shisha flavors, and I particularly enjoyed the Lady Killer and Love 66 blend—it was refreshing and perfectly balanced. The lounge also has a selection of tasty desserts and drinks to complement your shisha experience. The cleanliness of the lounge is commendable, with well-maintained equipment.This makes it an ideal spot for shisha enthusiasts. Overall, Kravings Shisha Lounge combines excellent service with a fantastic selection of flavours, making it a must-visit spot. I can't wait to return with friends.
