Ryans, Derby

A real Irish bar without all the gimmickry that comes with an O’Neills etc. Two level bar with wooden floors, there are a few Irish signs etc but nothing too garish. Plenty of flowers and plants around the place, it’s a bit of a haven of calm in the city centre, hidden up an alley next to St Peter’s church. The jukebox plays a wide selection of good stuff, not just Irish music. No real ale, but it’s a very friendly place to come for a decent pint of the black stuff.
