About the venue
Sitting on the north end of Brunswick Street, the somewhat recently renovated Royal Derby Hotel brings it, old-school pub style. It’s a well-loved local in the area, with trivia nights, uni nights, parma nights and just about every other night in between. It’s often a task to find a truly old-school pub nowadays, but the Royal Derby does manage to make the hunt ever so slightly easier. The Royal Derby succeeds at said easing-of-the-hunt by keeping it simple. The selection of beer is concise but varied, with a good collection on tap. The food is standard pub favourites, but the team at the Royal Derby have focused their attention on high-quality fresh produce. As far as function venues go, the Royal Derby takes reservations for smaller groups, while also offering a private function room. There’s a DJ section in there, as well as a screen for product launches, corporate functions, and slideshows of embarrassing 21st-birthday photos. The Royal Derby does old-school pub, and they do it well. The Royal Derby Hotel is also known as a sports pub to cater to all your live sports including AFL, rugby union, soccer and all the main UFC events. Spend your Saturday night here and enjoy their steak night or trivia night. They even have a pool table! The Royal Derby is located on the corner of Brunswick Street and Alexandra Parade. It’s stupidly convenient to get to. It’s a few minutes from the city by cab, on the 112 tram, on your bike or on your feet.
