Noahs Ark, Derbyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This inn has been around under this name for a very long time. The fake half-timbered front dates from the 1920s, but the low beams and alcoves inside are much earlier.
Unfortunately that’s about the only good thing I can say about it ! Everything is just urgently screaming out for renovation / investment. From the wallpaper featuring cases of wine to a traditional large fireplace with a very small gas fire, a TV that is switched off, low level muzak, and a board proclaiming “live acts” which was otherwise totally empty. A miserable clientele taking up as much space as possible without actually being with anyone else !
There were two handpumps, serving Doom Bar and Bass. Needless to say I chose the latter, and it was reasonable.
You’d be better off in the White Horse next door !

Nice enough boozer but with unspectacular beer offerings, so opted for a JD Honey with coke.
Warm and cosy along with a very convivial barmaid.

Truly odd. Seemed friendly enough and is open late on a Friday night if you are waiting for the 00:15 Red Arrow. The real ales were not in evidence though, so had to have a cider.
Karaoke was being well used.

Handy spit and sawdust type pub. Did have a handpump on but I plumped for a Bells as I was in a rush.

Two room city centre pub with a small circular island bar area serving both sides, but each bar approached separately from entrance lobby. Small front bar with a couple of benches and tables, but enough room for a dartboard. Couple of handpumps, one with Bass on. Pleasant looking older style frontage and an easy 20 minute visit whilst waiting for a bus from the huge nes edifice across the road.

Small pub on the Morledge full of old men looking into space. Poorly run but does have an illusive Bass on hand pull occasionally. Probably the best pub in the immediate vicinity but that isn't saying much.
