Tiger Bar, Derby

When our pub research trip team leader added this one to our schedule I was a little surprised as I'd not only never been here, I had to admit I'd never even heard of it. It's tucked away in a small alleyway or courtyard beside the market, so I must have been within a few yards of it. There's a modern portico but taking a step back - mind the whelk stall! - it's possible to see that there's a much older building behind the facade. Once inside we congratulated ourselves on having caught up with what remained of our group, two having left to look for the railway station. Finding our way to the bar, we were happy enough with a choice between Landlord, Pedigree and Dancing Duck. I went for the DCUK 4.3% (not a spelling mistake) which was pretty good (NBSS 3.5, £4.40/pint). One to include when doing a selection of city centre pubs, if only to check your navigational skills are still functioning.
