The Alexandra Hotel

Walk into The Alexandra and you're in a proper neighbourhood pub—the kind where regulars have their spots and the barstaff remember your name. Siddals Road isn't flashy, but that's precisely the point. This is where Derby's real ale enthusiasts congregate, and the beer selection reflects that seriously. The 4.6-star rating isn't accident; people keep coming back because it feels like an extension of their living room, just with better company and proper pints. No gimmicks, no Instagram angles—just good drinking.
