The Victoria, Derby

The Victoria is a solid looking pub that is known locally as the middle house. I have been in this pub on many occasions over the years,this has always been my favourite Draycott pub. Once inside the bar faces in the main room,this room is oblong shaped and is part carpeted and tiled,the seating is bench type with small stools and chairs,there was a pool table to the right,the ceiling is low beamed giving the pub a cosy feel to it. There is a smaller seperate lounge to the left,this room seemed very cosy with a low beamed ceiling comfy bench seating and small stools,the room was carpeted. This pub has always been a Marstons tied house and still is today,there were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of York Terrier which went down well,the other beer was Pedigree. There were two TVs in the main room showing Sky Sports,the pub had a decent amount of older drinkers in on my Friday dinnertime visit. The pub looks a lot smarter these days and i sill like it in here. Pub first visited 1980 Old photo taken 21/3/2005 Recent visit and photo taken 13/9/2013
