The White Horse, Derby

A decent pub. 5 cask ales and a plethora of tellies. A large rather attractive building that looks welcoming and is.

The White Horse is a fairly large pub that is almost opposite the bus station,so very handy for me when waiting for a bus. This pub used to ba an Ansells tied house with a very nice drink of Burton Bitter on the bar,the pub was knocked into one large room several years ago. The pub has a recent makeover,but i did'nt notice this on my recent mid Saturday evening visit. Once inside there is one largish room,the serving bar is on the right side,there is bench seating to the rear left and a DJ rig to the front left,this was in use on my visit,there was one real ale on the bar,this was Hobgoblin which was a decent enough drink while i waited for my bus. The pub was very livley with quite a few older couples dancing,i car'nt remeber what music it was as this was the last pub of the day. I was happy enough having a drink in this pub.

Another poor pub on Derby's worst row of pubs. My note simply say that it very quiet and the people who were in I didn't want to drink with. The decor is tired and the atmosphere was fairly intimidating and I've been in many rough pubs in my time. This whole street needs a major refurb.
