Derby ???? Is there anything cool there....?????

[stuff_it]

Apparently it`s a new (old) spot opening ??? one to find out about i guess.
The Havana was a great little place but you were right maybe not knowing someone to get in but knowing the right nights to go to, they did great house nights at one time. The rest of the time it was a caribbean place that was better known for it`s drugs and firearms...

So a lot like Nottingham then...

And where are all the proper Derby urbs?? Am I really the only one? Is it just Derby urb visitors here? *stares at inbox*

As I said, I was there for two years until recently, but I was an immigrant, i.e. not born and bred there. And I was sure the velodrome, or The Arena as it's officially called, was meant to be open by now. I know London Road's reopened since I left.

One other thing maybe worth a mention is BPM Records on Sadler Gate. If you like 70s and 80s vinyl it's worth a couple of hours digging.

I'm an alien too Yes London Road is finally open again. BPM is great. Shame Way Ahead and Reveal are no more though.

The velodrome is supposed to be open but there seems to be great reluctance to do so. Might be the council dragging their feet which wouldn't surprise me.

I've just been reminded of something else. Sheena Holland organises a monthly vintage fair in Sadler Gate, next one in March as there's been a Christmas break, as well as night markets which she will be putting on more often too. She also owns the vintage shop in the blacksmith's yard. I've bought a few lovely treasures from the market. If old and worn and sold with a history is your thing, check her out.

I`d guess so ...

Yep, still good and really close to station. There a great Indian restaurant called Anoki too.

The Viceroy is better imho.
I live in Notts & work in Derby.
I can recommend Derby Feste which takes place in September, but other than that don't really venture into Derby, other than for the odd curry here & there.
