The Friary

Had an amazing time! Our server was so lovely and delayed out brunch start time so our whole party was able to make it! Let us double park! Anna was the highlight of our trip! Was so lovely and accommodating. Friendly and checked on us frequently! Leaving this review to shout out how brilliant she was! Also toilets were great and clean.

Formerly a swanky hotel, this place has been turned into a nightclub / pub. The bar staff made us welcome, the place is clean, &, tidy, the food menu is surprisingly different to some places, as well as competitive. The only downfall is, during daytime hours, the drinks prices are ridiculously expensive but, at 8pm, they halve the prices. I could see why the place is more or less empty during the day, as twice we have witnessed this. I hope they see eventually that, people will not pay those prices, when they can get the same drinks elsewhere, for half the price, &, follow suit, drastically reducing their extortionate drink costs, even their shots.

Amazing experience, service was quick, efficient, both Olivia and Anna on the bar gave top-notch customer service. More places should be like that. Menu choices - don't get me started. Food wise - one of the best experiences I have had in Derby, if a bit unexpected for a place, I considered mainly for drinks. I was very nicely surprised by the choice and deals available.
