Following their incredible success in Uttoxeter, innovative indie coffee house BEAR have opened…read moretheir second shop in Derby. Perfectly situated in Derby's historic Cathedral Quarter, BEAR offers sustainably sourced artisan coffee and the most incredible all-day food menu! They also serve delicious craft beer & cocktails (Caution: their espresso martinis & coffee negronis are DANGEROUSLY good and take you seamlessly from casual coffee to full on cocktail o'clock in the blink of an eye!) I have been proud to follow them from their first launch in Uttoxeter, where I am a regular, and I'm so excited to see what the future will hold for them. Watch this space! #BeMoreBEAR

This is the restaurant outlet, it appears, of the Revolution de Cuba BAR at No.1, The Strand. It is…read morea large, elegantly fashioned place that specializes in burgers and Latin American-style food. On weeknights, and most certainly, weekends, it does get quite busy. It's located a tiny wee bit off the city centre, but just about a 5-6 minute walk from the pedestrian precinct. It's an upmarket place, burgers go for as much as UKP 13, including fries and mayonnaise. Nothing more. There are several other sides available, and I do HEARTILY recommend the onion rings, which turned out to be the best I've had in my life - and there was quite a stack of them for a moderate UKP 3. A year ago I ate chimichangas there, which were quite all right but certainly not outstanding. This time I opted for the beef burger with pulled pork, and it was a good choice. Very good meat, very fine burger. The portion of fries was modest, but they were tasty. To avoid the crowds I had an early dinner at about 5.30 p.m. on a weekday, so it was rather empty. But it's a very elegant place with nice, attentive staff. The beer selection focuses on lagers - obviously. But then, there are OH SO MANY real ale pubs in Derby close by, like e.g. the wonderful The Flower Pot, within a 5-minute walking distance. Recommended for burgers and those great onion rings.

I visited the Revolution bar in the afternoon for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The…read moregirl behind the bar told us to take a seat instead of waiting at the bar and came and took our order for drinks from our table. I love the leather seats they are really comfortable like sofas even and I sank right down in my seat straight away. The atmosphere was relaxing. There was music but it wasn't intrusive. We could happily chat away without having to shout. The young barmaid brought our wine over to our table for us and even poured it for us. She did come back over when the bottle was empty and ask if we wanted any more but other than that she didn't bother us. The only downfall was the fact that the ladies is up 2 flights of stairs which could be a problem if you leave it too late. The food is quite reasonable too although we weren't eating on this occasion. A lovely alternative to Wetherspoons if you are looking for an afternoon tipple.

I was lucky to find this small restaurant & bar on my way to The Last Post Micro Pub. It's a…read morepleasantly designed, relaxed place [At least it was when I visited] that offers an interesting menu of international food at moderate prices. There are plenty of deals to be had, too, like half prices on meals on Tuesdays. The all-female staff were very welcoming, and the waitress actually coerced me into *saving* (!!!) money: I'm not normally a dessert person - of course waitresses are expected to offer you one, but what she didn't say was: By spending UKP 2.95 on a piece of rather nice lemon cheesecake, I got UKP 4.95(!) knocked off of the bill! That was a very pleasant surprise. As a mains I had the "Fat Cat Marinated Chicken", which was nicely presented and very tasty. The beer selection is, naturally in such an establishment, geared towards fizzy lagers though. But on the whole I enjoyed the meal and the place itself very much. A short walk from Derby centre, and recommended!

This place differs hugely, depending on the time of day that you visit. In the day it is a great…read moreplace to chill out with a quiet drink and good food, while in the evening it is a popular up market bar. My most recent visit was a Sunday lunch time which coincided with their 2-4-1 student offer on main meals. I sampled the chicken burger which came with a healthy portion of chips and some of my partners stuffed butternut squash, which was lovely. Students also get 10% off their drinks bill which resulted in great value for money. We were impressed with food and service, but particularly the value for money that the student offer provided. We will be making it a regular weekend haunt in both evening and day time.

The staff are always very friendly, and usually enquire about owning a 'Blue card', which entitles you to even cheaper drinks! There is a wide open skate park at the back of the pub, which is slightly bemusing but still original none-the-less. Generally the people in the pub are very friendly and the music selection is good and varied, usually leaning towards alternative rock/metal. Though a fairly studenty place, it still has a lot to offer to non-students, and is a nice place to go before a night out!
