Since 1889
A proper local,
and proud of it.
The Derby Tavern is a traditional street-corner local in Stamshaw, North End, Portsmouth — trading under the same name since 1889. Great beers and an extensive spirit and wine selection, live sport on the screens, darts and pool, a jukebox, and a south-facing beer garden out back — all with the strong community ethos of a true neighbourhood pub.
Trading since 1889
"Typical of Stamshaw's public houses, the Derby is a true street-corner local. Dating from 1889, the pub has retained the same name for well over a century." — CAMRA

Such a lovely pub and spotlessly clean. Great music which comes from behind a bar and you can hear it in every area you sit... and I must say the Guinness is top notch.
Great and friendly place whether your a local face or a new face there is always a welcome in this place.
Local pub that is not only happy to have clientele visit with a dog, but have treats behind the bar. Good selection of beers and two ciders on tap with others in the fridge.
Proper little boozer a rare find in Portsmouth these days.
