Duke Of York, Derby

When i did my first few visits to the Duke of York it was an Ind Coope tied house that had Burton Bitter on sometimes,the pub had a few different rooms. It is nice to see the Duke of York back to its original name. Once inside the pub has now been opened out into one large single L shaped room with the bar facing,the room is bare boarded,there is a stage to the front right,the front left area is more comfortable with bench seating and chairs,there is a pool table to the rear right. There were three unclipped pumps on the bar,the keg option was John Smiths Smooth Crap,but i opted for a Guinness which was tasteless as usual. The pub was empty on my Saturday afternoon visit and the music was from Absolute Radio,which i like to listen to. The Duke of York is now more of a live music venue.
