Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The White Horse
Quite an attractive building, with a few interesting features on the façade (including the old-style pub sign above the main corner door). Refurbished with a light colour scheme inside the 'L'-shaped main bar and side room, with some semi-circular booths and small high tables. Various TV screens. Often a live music pub, although not on my Wednesday evening revisit. Doom Bar, Bass, Abbot, Castle Rock Harvest Pale (£3.80) and Old Rosie cider available from the total of eight handpumps this time.

A lively pub with considerable atmosphere, although I can't say I was totally sold on it. The peculiar furnishings included large semi-circular booths and painted tables, while the whole place is hung with flags and other detritus, much on a Mod theme including bits of scooter. Sports TV screens also seem present in most directions, although few of them were actually on. A pedestrian batch of ales included Abbot, Bass, Doom Bar and Harvest Pale, with a cider also available. Full marks for individuality but not my first choice.

A large opened out L shaped room inside the attractive exterior, an early opener at 10 am which helps if your ticking pubs. There are several elevated bench seating areas as well as some normal seating.There seemed to be a bit of a Mod theme going on with various related memorabilia around the pub. Eight handpumps in total but not all in use, beers on were Doom Bar, Abbot, Bass and a rather good Castle Rock Harvest Pale along with Old Rosie Cider. Nice enough.

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.
