Suds & Soda

You'll find Suds & Soda tucked into Friary Works, that converted Victorian industrial space on Friar Gate that's become Derby's go-to for anything interesting. It's the kind of place where the staff actually know their stuff—whether you're after a hard-to-find craft ale or a quality soft drink—and they're not going to bore you with it. The vibe is properly relaxed; you can rock up solo for a pint or bring mates and actually hear yourself talk. The ratings speak for themselves, and for good reason.
