First visit since my early 20s.... about 18 years ago, it's the same....but different.
Visited mid afternoon on a Saturday and it was fairly quiet and relaxed, had a couple of beers and one of the best pizza's I've eaten.
Back in the early 2000s it was the place to be for alternative/Indie music and a great night out....I suspect it's the same now. The range of alcoholic drinks is massive with spirits, wine, cask ales, draft beers, cans, bottles and cider alongside drinks offers.
Food is available fairly late and is really good, although I did miss the stotties of my younger days.
I suspect that it gets extremely busy and a little messy later on (they're open til 2), I also suspect it's absolutely awesome.
I came here for a gig upstairs. It's a really great space and the sound was brilliant. The staff are dead nice and helpful.
Had a great time meeting a friend on Saturday afternoon, plenty of choice on tap and the food was good.
Staff very friendly and accommodating!
Well on a night out in Derby on a stag do, we went in a number of the local pubs. Some of us had a bite to eat in Bless, I ordered a pizza and I must say it was probably the best pizza I've had and I've had pizza in Italy, New York etc. 👌
Nice range of beer. Mainly go for the comedy club which is upstairs on every second Monday 😜
Nice pub popular with the students. Good music but marked down as the real ale selection isn't great could do with a couple of real ales on the go really other than that nice pub
This is a fantastic little pub. If you want a place relax and chill by yourself it is perfect. It has an alternative/indie crowd that drift in and out so if that is you it is a must.
I had pizza and pint deal for £10 and it was one of the best pizzas I have outside of Italy. I will definitely be going back next time I am in Derby.
Oh and on Friday nights there is a DJ who plays 90s indie tunes with some 80s new wave/ romantics in the mix as well. I went there by myself and had a great time as atmosphere is friendly, and some good deals at the bar as well. Can't recommend this pub enough. It Made my trip to Derby.
Light, airy and rustic feel to the place, a big improvement on the last 20 or so years. Good upstairs venue for functions as well.
Wonderful accommodating staff, seemed excited to have us there and did everything possible to improve our afternoon with them
Good night out if you like Indie and 80s +
Great building. Music soundtrack is excellent and real ale not bad either.
Interesting, unusual, and comfortable pub.
Nice place to chill good selection of drinks .Like you can chat I ate before I came out .The food looks good but goes earlier as students ,family and pub crawls use this pub .The flowerpot and the dolphin are both good pubs close by .Jury's Inn as was closest hotel however this has become another chain didn't notice which.
The Bless has been a top drinking spot for the last 20 years....and this shows no signs of changing..first time I have visited in a while....top staff, great music, good crowd 👌
It's a pub/club for everyone. Special brews, entertainment for +18 generations at the weekend. This is not a gimmick place with silly drinks offers to bleed you of money. Door staff are on point and regular to the task. You'll never feel out of place.
Another great bar, a nice bar to having a great place in having a good conversation. Catching up with friends.
Great pub slightly out of town so most of the numpties stay away. Music is ace too
The best place I have ever been in my life, the bar staff are amazing and the atmosphere is lovely. Shout out to Dec and his quiz. Also, the best pizza's I have ever had.
Very nice place, offers a lot of events, I came during Pop Quiz night on Wednesday and it was packed and lively. Good music and the staff is friendly and helpful. Will come back
