Welcome to The Bless:
Where Every Night is a New Experience
The Bless is a staple of Derby nightlife. Located in the city centre with something to offer for everyone. Amongst the first pubs in Derby to obtain a late license, it has become a cult classic over the years with an age range of 18-80. As a winner of ‘Best Pub in Derby’ in recent years, we’re proud
to give you everything you need from a pub: a hub for student nightlife in Derby, an amazing food menu, a weekly quiz and much more. Whether is a quiet pint after work, a night out with friends or a bite to eat. We’ve got you covered.
- More Than Just a Pub
The Bless is more than just a pub. Our weekend nights, Stone Love and Fully Loaded, convert the pub into amongst the best of Derby nightlife. Not to mention our range of offers and events including our free beerpong and Sunday Spirits. We also have two sheltered beer gardens, so come rain or shine you can enjoy your pint in peace.
- Heritage and History
The Blessington Carriage originates from two terrace houses that were converted into a two storey restaurant back in the mid 1970’s. The restaurant was created by two guys from Nottingham and was called Ben Bowers after the famous traveller. The restaurant was on the first floor with the bar on the ground floor. In the mid 1980’s the pub trade started to dominate and took over the success of the restaurant. There was even times when the music from downstairs used to make plates bounce off the tables in the upstairs restaurant. This led to the pub expanding into the two adjacent cottages that were built in the 1900’s. Before being used as cottages they had been a grain store, furniture makers and a coffin makers. At this point the pub became The Blessington Carriage, which came from the owners choosing the name randomly from a book based on horse drawn carriages. The extension coincided with The Bless being one of the first two bars in Derby to be given a late license long before the standard late
licenses we have now.
