The Alexandra Hotel, affectionately known as “The Alex”, was the birthplace of Derby CAMRA in 1974 and remains focused on real ale today. Its selection includes six or more cask beers, three keg beers, plus a range of bottles, cans and ciders.
Located on the edge of Derby city centre, the pub is a short walk from Derby railway station. Inside, a central bar separates a lounge from a further bar area. Railway memorabilia decorates the lounge and outside area, while the bar features classic breweriana. The first floor has four letting rooms. The Alex also hosts occasional themed food nights and serves a light menu of bar snacks, pork pies, homemade sausage rolls and fresh filled cobs.
