The Merry Widows is an interesting pub standing on a corner having the two entrances and a triangular configuration. It is directly opposite the Railway Station and is ideal if travelling into the city to get your bearings before starting out on a visit. It serves one real ale which varies. The interior is split into two by a sturdy arch which also splits the bar. The front room forms a comfy lounge area and is adorned with picture of Derby County football players of the past. The lounge area to the side of the pub also has a dart board. The L-shaped outside area is a slightly awkward hard surfaced area to the rear. The now paved area to the side of the pub provides some additional outside seating. From June 2026 now run by the Roebuck brewery making it their only outlet in Derby.
