What players say

The Derby bar is a great place to go for pool. The pool table takes 4 quarters and is perfect! They have a hilarious playboy pinball machine that never stops, darts, and lottery games. It’s a very fun atmosphere, chill, fun, older crowd, and usually not too busy… highly recommend!

★★★★★ Allie, Nov 2025

Great little bar that me and my friends enjoy going to, to get drinks and play pool. Owners are super nice and gave us T-shirts.
