I've never had the food here so this is purely a rating of it as a bar. The ambiance is pretty good for the area (a little better than Industry Public House but similar vibes). Staff is friendly and attentive. I've gone back a few times and likely will again. I have 2 main complaints. They're charging more for basic mixed drinks than most of the other bars in the neighborhood (not a beer drinker so can't speak to that) so sometimes it's hard to justify not going to a place a block in either direction for a drink of the same quality that'll be a couple dollars cheaper. The other thing is some of the staff (not all!) have not figured out how to adjust the volume of the music to the number of people, time of day, etc. If it's 2pm on a Saturday and there's 3 people in the joint, EDM turned up to 11 is just disconcerting. I have high hopes that they'll work out the kinks though. Glad to have them in the neighborhood. They're a good halfway point between an Industry and a...
Read moreJust checked out the new spot on Butler Street, and wow, it’s exactly what the area needed! This place has brought such an incredible vibe to the neighborhood—think energizing, lively, and just plain fun. It’s quickly becoming the weekend hangout for anyone looking to unwind or catch a game with friends.
The atmosphere is spot-on for sports fans, with big screens perfectly set up so you can see the action from pretty much any angle. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just there for the energy, this spot makes watching the game a total experience.
And I have to give a shoutout to Angel, one of the bartenders who truly elevates the night. Angel is amazing—not only is she super attentive, but her positive energy just lights up the room. She makes everyone feel welcome and adds so much to the fun vibe here. Honestly, between the exciting ambiance and Angel’s warm energy, this place is bound to become a...
Read moreHaving dinner on a weeknight at Derby was a great experience. We were drawn in by the special, 2 for $5 smashburger tacos, which were delicious and an incredible value. I was craving a cheeseburger and these hit the spot - also the chipotle sauce was exquisite. We also got the jalapeno cream cheese "potato kegs." They were basically giant fancy tater tots and they were excellent. I highly recommend ordering these. The smoky brussel sprouts were also delicious, and the Texas Medicine cocktail with the Jackworth Spicy Ginger Beer was tasty. Perhaps the best part was the service. I am allergic to gluten and the waitress and kitchen were both very accommodating. They even had dedicated GF fryers so they were able make everything we wanted GF. Definitely would go to Derby again, particularly if there's another...
