Quinno _ left this review about The Derby Inn
Doesn't look enticing outside but inside isn't too bad, though whacked-through horribly. Weekend drinking bar(n) to the right with blue downlighting at the bar. To the left is a nicer contemporary-looking lounge area. Terrible mid-Atlantic rock music on for the barmaid's amusement. Two cask, both Wainwright. My Gold was flabby and musty and was apparently the dreaded ‘fresh ale’ as well! Lilleys cider also on. Barrow town centre doesn’t have much in the way of cask options and this one isn’t doing any heavy lifting.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Derby Hotel
The Derby was my final stop of the night in Barrow. I'd walked past it earlier in the evening and had seen a couple of bouncers on the door. Arriving back just after midnight, the bouncers had moved indoors.
Inside, the music was loud with a baseline that shook the whole building. This was a pub that had morphed into more of a nightclub. However, the music was fairly good and staff and customers seemed to be on the more sensible side, compared with those in other Barrow hostelries.
An unexpected bonus was the availability of 4 real ales from Cross Bay - Zenith, Halo, Deception & Stay Frosty. The latter was a very enjoyable white stout.
Not normally my sort of place, but I quite enjoyed my visit here and with 4 real ales on, I would happily return.

Noisy pub with bar to left as you enter. One reversed hand pump = rest keg. Not a place to revisit.
