Reviews of Ye Olde Dolphin Inne
"Decent community pub in Derby whose mail claim to fame is the fact(!) that it's the town's oldest public house (c. 1520). I usually advise people against frequenting establishments whose name begins with "Ye Olde", as they are often tourist traps (the Nottingham Castle one is one particularly annoying example) or use their history to make up for other deficiencies. The cask ale selection is not too limited (around half a dozen handpumps) , but during my visit several of those weren't available, and the ones that were weren't terribly interesting. The seating is split into a number of smaller areas, so it's not a place for larger groups but it's a good thing if you wanna meet up with family or friends. But, given that Derby is a town of many more interesting pubs, beer-wise, I simply cannot recommend Ye Olde Dolphin except for grabbing a quick pint."
"Popped in for quick pint. Outside now scaffolding free & looks great. Inside equally impressive, as would be expected of Derby's oldest pub (though that's not verified). Lots of small rooms & outside terrace. Decent pint (Castle Rock brewery). Food menu looked basic but good value."
"Visited Saturday 21st January 2023 early evening. Derby's oldest (surviving) pub dating from the late 16th century with 18th century additions into what was a doctor's, the doctor in question allegedly performed autopsies on those hanged at Derby gaol. Architecturally and historically it's hugely significant, hence it's listed status. Unfortunately beer wise it's not particularly great, it's all a bit macro, brown and twiggy as far as cask beer goes with everything else being macro lager and spirits. It's internal layout is small (ish) rooms, this in combination with it's city centre location means it gets incredibly busy. Personally I'd visit around midday, have a beer and appreciate the history and architecture, I wouldn't necessarily visit any other time, or if I wanted a great beer selection."
"Great traditional pub, said to be the oldest in Derby! Has multiple rooms uncluding a snug and a large outside patio. The low ceilings and exposed beams give it a very rustic feel. Very friendly staff running it. Good range of beers, ales and ciders, a little more expensive than some other pubs. They have an internet Duke box too. Has its own charms, a pub I've hen visiting for many years and will always go back."
"Derbys oldest pub, not THE best pub in my humble opinion but well worth visiting. Has an olde worlde feel. Good range of real ales in a choice of historic rooms. Enjoy. M"
