The Merry Widows in Derby

Small and compact, good location opposite Derby train station. Very welcoming. Ideal for a traveller to trap a pint whilst waiting for train.

Nice traditional pub. Well worth a visit

We stopped in for a beer whilst waiting for a train, it was an average pub.

Very friendly welcome upon arrival and has food was not on let us bring chips in from next door , very chatty bar people and always there to help , just great

I like this pub. I struggle with anxiety issues, but felt comfortable in here.

Lovely little pub near Derby Train Station with friendly staff.

I am disabled and I I didn't know their was a private event happening I just got off the train past 11pm I live in Sheffield and waiting for a lift they would not let me use the toilet. Vile behavior

Love the place, great beer, great atmosphere and a gorgeous barmaid 😁

Good pub , across from Railway station, reasonable prices and good service.

Wonderful pub, ideal for the first drink after departing from the train station. Always a pleasant atmosphere which in turn is created by the fabulous landlady.

This was a fantastic pub to go drinking at, located conveniently near the train station with a vintage entrance! The bar is well-presented, the images on the wall add to the place and the staff were friendly. I had Desperados and a shot, situated on leather seating at a clean table!

Whenever we pop in here we seem to get stuck in a time warp. Pop in for one and come out after 6!! 😂😂 Lovely staff friendly pub.

Cosy little pub opposite the train station. Perfect for a quiet pint whilst waiting for a train or a taxi. I pop in most times when waiting for a train. Staff are very friendly. Not suitable for large groups. Smoking garden in the rear. Shops nearby. Prices are fair.

Nice warm welcome and good beer, lovely lady behind the bar

First time visit. Very welcoming. Traditional pub. Clean and tidy.

Great little pub opposite the station, staff and the beautiful landlady are lovely, the drink is excellent can't fault it 👍

Good old fashioned pub. never change!

Ģood people, relaxing atmosphere..

Absolutely amazing in this place staff brilliant and I would recommend it to anyone

It’s ok with very friendly staff

Bloody expensive £4 for John smiths

Wonderful little pub- nice selection of drinks and very friendly service:) will be back again!

Unreconstructed trad boozer, convenient for the station. No poncey "craft" IPAs in here! Hard to see how it survives with the Brunswick just down the road, but evidently fills a niche.

A pleasant experience with nice staff and a good pint of Guinness

Nice little pub near the station, great service and great drinks!

Excellent pub. Charming atmosphere. Nice polite service.

Cracking little pub with good ale and friendly happy barmaid

Great pub just opposite to derby train station. Good collection of drinks and optimally priced. They have got a garden as well.

Great pub, quality beer, and very friendly.

Nice little pub right next to the trainstation.

Enjoyed a couple of pints of Stella Artois and was served by a very nice lady with wonderful friendly manners, toilets immaculate and close to the railway station.

Not too bad - home fans only on match days. Gets hella busy.

Good pub, handy while awaiting train connection

Cosy friendly pub. Fair price. Nice cold. Lager. Staff very pleasant and friendly.

Luvelly pub, really friendly staff. Drawback, only one real ale on, your competing with Brunswick and Alexander think you should just try a bit harder. But still a luvley atmosphere.

Quaint and cosy friendly pub for a pint whilst waiting for the train.

Nice little pub, good beer, friendly staff and locals.

Lovely pub right opposite the railway station. Great service, good beer, very clean.

Great beer, clean friendly environment with social distancing in place. Definitely call in again and would highly recommend.

A proper back street pub love it.

Great pub only pop in when waiting for a train but always a nice welcome. Always lots of laughter to be heard. Nice pub

Great pub. Friendly service by brilliant bar staff. Highly recommended.

Good pre game pub for a Guinness

Awesome pub with a good range of beers near the station.

Owner is lovely nice relaxed atmosphere

Brilliant place so much better than the Midland hotel for prices

Brilliant staff, great beer, wonderful welcoming atmosphere for any one that opens the door, great British pub

Good beer and all the sports channels.

Decent pub and beer with Sky/BT Sports.

A nice relaxed atmosphere after a hard day's work

Very friendly staff. But it is more of a locals pub but the locals are very friendly. Bit of a small pub tho

Nice quiet pub.Very friendly staff.

Great down to earth landlady has time for everyone cheers june made us welcome Nick and Daz

We went into merry widows on friday 12th july and i asked for a black coffee, the lovely bar maid said that they dont usually do coffee for customers its only for staff, but she would make me one.... She didnt charge me.....so just wanted to say thank you you were brilliant. And i know you said it was only normal coffee but it was very welcome Excellent services.....thanks again xxxxx

A great place to stop off at when you have caught the train going from Derby train station or arriving at Derby train station I'm going on to meet friends always a nice place for me to stop off and get a drink small garden to the rear of the pub nice and cosy recommend sitting outside when it's warm

Brilliant authentic pub. Loved the ambience there. Good people food beers 😊

Great little pub, friendly staff & good ale

Cosy little boozer, handy for Derby station. Good range of beers and lagers. Only food that appears to be a available are bar snacky things like crisps and nuts but you wouldn't go into a pub just for something to eat.... Great collection of Derby County memorabilia and photos of the great ex-Rams (Carter, Doherty, Stamps etc).

Nice little pub, friendly staff.

Didn't like the attitude of some customers and the land lady towards a homeless guy that only wanted 5 mins out the rain. He was treated terribly. Will never go in again.

Absolutely Brilliant, best pub in Derby!! ,staff and landlady top class. Richard Weston, Tina's husband.

Nice little pub, very handy for the Railway station, with good quality beer and friendly service.

Said it was open 11am in week not today it wasn't

A pub is a pub! This is nice enough!

Quirky little pub right opposite Derby train station. Perfectly serves it's purpose as a pit-stop place to catch a quick pint (or halfy if you're not on it) before your train is set to leave. It has a cute outdoor area for the smokers. Small but effective. Will stop by every time if I have time before my train leaves.

Good pub lovely friendly landlady who is dog friendly if your waiting for train stn across road but it's for home supporters when Derby fc are playing at home

Small, freindly pub. Handy for a quick pint whilst waiting for a train

A very cool place near the train station. They have good beer and cider options. I want to warn you about coffee, they don't serve espresso based coffee.

I recommend if you want to keep customers you don't swear at them and tell them to stop laughing in your pub. Didn't happen when I ran it 25 years ago.and shouldn't happen now either.

Traditional pub for pre match pint. No away fans allowed in

Very nice afternoon meeting with friends very welcoming pub, very clean with nice toilet facilities. We are to use this pub as a regular meeting place.

Very friendly laid back pub with comfy seating and light background music.

Lovely clean little pub ,friendly helpful staff,somewhere different to go ,the only downside drinks are expensive

If you're stuck at Derby station and need a quick drink it's ideal. Handpull or two and a craft on tap along with usual pub drinks. Bar staff always friendly and ameniable and the beer garden/ smoking area is good.

very pleasant bar star very good ale .

Great little pub across from the train station

Only one hand pump on tonight (Cumberland) so we ordered three pints of that. After a few sips we all agreed that the beer was off (undrinkable) but the landlady flatly refused to offer a substitute/refund (without even tasting it) saying simply that she had been serving it all day without complaint. We walked out and won’t be going back. As a card Carrying CAMRA member, I suggest you avoid this pub if you like a decent pint of ale or decent customer service.

The most gorgeous land lady I have ever met

I used to always stop here while waiting for my connecting train and the staff were so great and the locals were very friendly. Would highly recommend

Great place. Newly refurbished and lovely staff

Great little pub opposite the Railway Station, good beer good staff and although a bit of a shrine to Derby County very friendly

A great place to go while waiting for a connecting train.

Good old fashioned popular English pub

Fantastic pub, been a few times but got to meet the owner and staff tonight. Great hospitality and we'll worth a visit if your in the area. Thanks for a really good night!! Adam, Alex, Joe and Adam
