About The Brunswick Inn
The Brunswick Inn is a pub on Railway Terrace in Derby, across from the railway station and handy for the bus station too. It brews its own beer on site and serves it alongside guest ales, with real ales and ciders on the bar, including flat ciders. The pub has several different rooms with dark wood, and it displays railway memorabilia and pictures of the building's history. The food menu includes cheesy chip butties and a Cheese and Onion Cob, and Pub Grub is served on selected days only. A darts board gives regulars something to play. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return to the Brunswick Inn above all for its real ales, praising a wide beer range that includes beers brewed on site, kept in condition they call perfect or exceptionally well kept. One reviewer says the Camden stout rivals Guinness, and another points to a spread of ciders. Close behind is the building itself, described as a proper old pub with dark wood rooms, railway memorabilia and plenty of history. Several mention the many separate rooms to retire into. Food draws less comment but earns praise: cheesy chip butties, a cheese and onion cob, and a beef and cheeseburger with bacon and double cooked chips, with one noting that the pub grub is served on selected days only. Prices are called reasonable or good, and staff are described as friendly and welcoming. No recurring complaints appear. Its position across from the railway station suits a quick pre-train pint, and one reviewer finishes with a good darts board on a busy Monday.
