The Victoria Inn in Derby - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a cracking pub. Stunning range of real ales and good banter. Well worth missing several trains for.

It's great to have live gigs back there it sounded great will be seeing more there

A high-level club, good atmosphere and cultured people. A good place to go with friends and relax with live music, I highly recommend it.

Great little pub Wide selection of drinks Staff are super welcoming Great bands playing

The Vic is a brilliant live music venue and also a great pub in which to have a decent pint or two. The staff are wonderful, really friendly, and the sound engineer person is really on the ball and makes the live music awesome. I highly recommend coming here, whether it's for a drink or to see the local, national and international bands that come and play here.

I only went in for a quick pint but I was well impressed. Good range of cask ales and ciders and nice friendly staff. Now I've been going in regularly for well over a year and it's just got better and better. A superb range of beers and ciders and of course the regular live music

Great pub for real ales, fantastic that it opens at 9:30am!!

Great choice of beers. Best thing excellent staff, our ones on the day (thu 4 July) Sam and Tania. Even when I spilt a pint on my shoes they didn’t bat an eyelid. They are excellent staff , give them a raise

Nice place by the railway station, with some craft beers, and nice atmosphere. The staff was really nice!

A very enjoyable visit. Service was friendly and efficient, and we were made to feel very welcome.

Nice place good for music events

Best cider selection in the area. Good selection at Brunswick just down the road but the Vic ciders are less common or unusual varieties.

What a fantastic traditional pub.Tap beers and many real ales and ciders available. Drinker's heaven. Two rooms with old black and white photos on the walls. Camra discount available. Staff were friendly and polite. Beer was amazing. Great visit.

Just popped in for a pint after a very stressful train journey and they're lovely in here, even the punters are kind.

An unexpected bonus this place was with top quality ale with a great atmospheric feel. The seating was lovely and you could easily sink in to it.

Good to have the vic back to its roots of having live bands on again..punk hq for years

Excellent staff nice beer great music venue

Can't comment on the food, but the atmosphere and service is brilliant. Great live music as well. Nice one.

Good pub to vist before the game at pride park Leatherbritches ales

This is a really friendly pub. It's really close to Derby Train Station and has a great selection of quality beers. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Top pub right opposite the Railway Station. Ideal to meet clients and discuss deals over a pint.

Great sub humanz gig last night. Good atmosphere. Nice small venue

Great little pub. Could do with some heating in the darting area as it was baltic last night

Lovely little English pub with open fire. Great for waiting for trains but also good live music in the back on a weekend evening. Service was fast and server was cheerful. Will definitely be going again in the near future.

Excellent selection and value for money

Came over from Ireland for a gig and the owner made us feel welcome straight away, soundman for the gig got it to a T, excellent sound.

Great to see a band play live and the beer and pork scratchings are spot on !

Top notch pub, love staff and lovely friendly atmosphere

Excellent pub that has great beers and ciders. Live music, art and events. Love this place.

Great little venue with an interesting choice in real ales.

15 /09/23 straight off the train. Friendliest landlady, showed us all the good pounds to visit. Great choice of ales all in good nick

A must - visit cask ale pub opposite Derby train station.

It is a great music venue that risen up again from the 80s went it thrived as a music venue . Staff are great good selection of ales

Fantastic little pub with music venue. My band played here tonight, the place was great. Staff wonderful, clientele too.

It is the first time that i have been here and what a great place to go for a drink i have a lot of customer service experience and worked in a pub so I know what i am looking for the service was with a smile polite barman very tidy the pub is very clean and nice decor if i was going to go for a soft drink at a pub i think this would be the place

Friendly enough pub with good service

Visited a Download warm up event ,didn't stay long as we had planned to go on to another venue but have to say ,very friendly welcome and seemed a great place!

Not bad actually. The decor is a bit tired but the beers and the landlords passion to do well speaks volumes. Please use this pub folks so we don't lose another.

Very friendly and warm. Very quiet.

Lovely pub. Great selection of beers and large selection of ciders

Good choices for cider drinkers, otherwise choose pubs nearby.

Lovely to see this pub back to how it use to be. Great beers that are kept fantastic, brilliant friendly staf and brilliant venue for live music. Well done to all involved in rejuvenating this wonderful pub.

Great beer, Great landlord, Great band - Agent Utah... what more could you ask for..

Good Selection of real Ales🍻,friendly bar staff, will definitely visit again👍

good beer but it's a little bit wrong with the lack of tablets but I still had a good time

Great pub with a great selection of beers and friendly staff

Real ale pub opposite the main entrance of Derby railway station, 6 beers on cask with 2 Leatherbritches as reoccurring ales and 4 changing ales from various breweries, also boasts quality ciders, gins and rum. Excellent bar staff and service. Bad behaviour and drunk idiots not welcome at the Victoria Inn.

I’ve not been to this pub for about 20 years, was pleasantly surprised to find they had 10 flat ciders on. This is a real ale pub located opposite Derby railway station. They have live bands on at the weekends. Very friendly bar staff, great selection of ciders. I would recommend.

A good place to stop after a train journey. Glad it’s opened again and holding gigs. The place needs redecorating to make it feel more cosy. It has a real fire though which was very welcoming.

1st visit great pub good variety of drinks and ciders, also do entertainment in the evenings, good choice of snacks. Will definitely return

Very friendly pub, we were on our way back to Manchester from Wembley on Sunday.

Great live music venue, good selection of ales, friendly staff.

Great place lovely pint and great staff!!

A great real ale pub with Camra discount and friendly staff

Lovely staff and owners, very welcoming space. Has a wide selection of drinks and is decorated nicely. Bands play often, and it has a lovely beer garden. It's worth a visit .

easy going pub all welcoming staff

Tania what a lovely lady ... excellent service such a daring and wonderful barmaid give her a pay rise

Very quiet, plain, decent staff, a little out of the way of the main town centre. Ok for one drink, but I wouldn't stay more than that.

Friendly pub, great atmosphere.

Simply excellent. No idea what will happen if you have the wrong colors.

Just been in whilst waiting for a train as it’s two minutes from the station. This pub had gone downhill for years and didn’t expect much. But hooray. It’s been taken on by landlords that know what they are doing. Comfortable, good decor, welcoming, great selection of Leather Britches ales, excellent ciders from Kent, wine by the bottle. I’ll be back frequently! Deserves to succeed.

Interesting real ale selection, well kept. Worth a trip.

I've bin here 3 tims and it's dutie. A rat crawled up the toilet stal and jumped HEAD. WHEN I GAVE IT OFF. IT STARTED GRAWLUNG. 2 weeks later I came back and old man sat on me?? It's very bad smeelly. The food tastes like a grampas liver. The 3 time I came here I fell in the toilet and it took 3 hours for someone to help and everyone was recirdung.... My husband has asthma and the toilet it that low that he fell over into the next stall. He rolled. Royal telegraph>> vicotrinan inn<<< Horrible 1 happy meal 2 mayor chickens Etc never agai. Teux Love Wants

Excellent real ale pub easy to miss and is situated to the back of the street facing Merry Widows pub. Multiple HND pulls of Leatherbritches brewery but also guests too. Well worth a visit as it also has a nice beer garden and staff and owner are friendly.

Great place for nite out or just quiet drink. Great customer service and atmosphere. Definitely one of my favourite place in Derby

It's good to see this place under new management got the facilities to have a proper little rave or a head bashing night . A few darts comps and it will be my second home 😂

New owners, lovely friendly people, much recommend 👍👍

Lovely oldie worldy pub. It has real ales along with great deals on other drinks. Lovely garden with some great decor. Staff are friendly and inviting. Amazing atmosphere.

Recently taken on by a new Landlord. In the recent weeks I've been coming to the the Victoria inn since the new landlords have been here, it has been a pleasant place to come and enjoy a few pints after work. The main bar area is spacious for a small pub, but to the rear there is a nice open function room with dance floor and seating. and on the various nights that have events on its been a great atmosphere. Also to the rear is a nice beer garden aswell The drinks menu has various favourites and a selection of real ales. The location is great place just across from the Derby train station, so if your train is late its s worth e time to pop in and havea a drink. . The prices are very well priced.

Always polite helpful staff and good pint

It stinks of marijana but I was the only customer? The TV was blasting out loud music that made it difficult to read my newspaper. The person working there propped all the fire doors open which apart from being illegal it meant that despite sitting next to the radiator I was cold. I drank quickly and vacated immediately. My advice, don't waste your time visiting.

Definitely my pub of choice waiting for the train to London.

Just a regular city centre bar. No airs or graces. Just does it's job of serving beer!

It was ok, beer good service good bit rough round the edges but ok.

lovely little pub near to train station,staff really friendly ,pop in if ur passing

Not a bad old pub. Hiding behind Merry Widows. Worth a pint when waiting for train connect

Nice pint, bloody freezing, all doors open, heating on but made no difference

At the time of my visit quite which I like. Very welcoming staff👍. I would recommend the John Smith's

First time went in Victoria Inn and the bar staffs are very friendly as having quick pints before catch the train from Derby to London: St Pancras International Station. Might will visiting again one day!

The person serving was unfriendly, discourteous and anti social. Won't be going back until there is a change in personnel

I liked this place,good beer,friendly staff,ideally located facing the train station,recommended

Friendly staff. Reasonable prices

Excellent service, friendly atmosphere, will definitely go again

Lovely little pub friendly locals make you welcome. Will definitely go back for sum more

Good friendly pub, brighter inside now than it used to be

Not been before nice relaxing friendly staff

Very nice little pub, really friendly

How the Great have fallen! Was one of the best places in Derby, with live music too. Since then no character. Recommend a bit of a walk now to the Alex and Brunswick.

Has the pub closed again. Never open when I walk past ?

My twin brother Stephen and I had jumped the train down from Nottingham where we were enjoying a six day break down to Derby to explore this compact little city and on exiting the train station you are confronted by three great pubs ,The Waterfall Pub ,The Merry Widows Pub and this pub namely The Victoria Inn which is a classic traditional English pub.

Of the three pubs opposite Derby train station this is the 2nd best imho, but close to 1st place. Nice atmosphere, good choice of alcohol and well worth a pint.

Just spent the weekend at a hotel around the corner so popped in a couple of times for a drink. Small pub with friendly atmosphere and good priced drinks. Well worth a visit if after a quiet drink.

Great place for a party reasonably price food good

Nice pub for a drink and catch up with friends. Cosy atmosphere without any blaring music so that you can actually have a proper conversation.

2nd pub with a lovely atmosphere, nice people, reasonable prices, right next door to the 1st one we visited.

Ideally located across from Derby train station, this small original pub lies next to and across from two other pubs.

Very friendly service, good prices and good range of drinks
