Sit back and soak in the pre-show atmosphere in our first floor bar. Situated opposite Derby Hall, it is the perfect place to grab a drink before any show.
Fancy the place to yourself? Stanley Bar is also available to hire for a range of events including live performances, conferences and weddings with private waiting staff for that special occasion. For more information, please see our hires page.
