Quick info
About Brackens Alvaston
Brackens Alvaston is a pub on Brackens Lane in Derby, set in a straightforward neighbourhood local with a down to earth feel. The bar serves walk-in customers, and service at the counter is quick. Darts and karaoke run through the week, and football is shown on match days. The room is kept clean, with a steady crowd of regulars coming and going. It sits on a side street off the main Alvaston stretch, giving it the character of a back-of-the-establisment local rather than a destination venue.

Reviewers describe a down to earth local pub where the atmosphere and welcoming regulars come up most, with one calling it "a locals local." Darts, footy and karaoke feature, and one reviewer enjoyed watching the darts semi finals. Staff are called friendly, attentive and quick. The one complaint is a long wait between courses on a busy night, though the food itself was rated great.
