| Station Street (corner of Moseley Street) | (01283) 568660 | ||
| On
Station Street, and the first pub you would arrive at turning right out of
the station. This is also known as the Burton Ale House in honour of the
brew that used to be brewed over the road at Ind Coope. An interesting arched building with a long thin bar, this pub serves a good choice of well kept ales. The lunchtime menu is small but interesting. |

|||
| Station Street | (01283) 562392 | ||
| This
pub is like the Tardis - far bigger inside than it looks from the outside!
Serves the excellent range of Burton Bridge beers, plus guest beers and bottled
Belgian beers.
Probably the best pub in town for getting quietly merry on unusual beers! The "Devvie" is generally welcoming and friendly. The lunchtime food (though admittedly in someone else's opinion) is good value as well. |

|
|||
| Derby Street | (01283) 562178 | ||
| On Derby Street but only five minutes from the station. A former CAMRA 'Pub of the Year' and another serving excellent Burton Bridge Ales. Games room on the back with (possibly) Burton's only bar football table. The food is also tasty, cheap and a good plateful. Recommended! |

|||
| Borough Road | (01283) 564955 | ||
| Big
place next to, as the name suggests, the station. This place has seen better
days and has been through a succession of landlords. Wetherspoons or someone similar could do big things with the place, but the building is so large it would require the sort of large capital injection that a normal tenant could not afford. Handy though for the rail traveller - if only to have a pint and order a taxi! |

|
|||
| High Street | (01283) 564955 | ||
| A Wetherspoon's pub, which as we all know means a huge range of fantastically cheap beers and not quite so fantastic service on a Friday or Saturday night - the latter usually being a result of the former. They also have a national menu of realistically priced meals. Try as you might you can't knock the formula : stack it up and sell it cheap works for me! |

| Bridge Street | (01283) 536596 | ||
|
Though a 20-25 minute walk from the station this is the 'tap' of the
previously mentioned brewery, and a mecca for real ale enthusiasts. Recently extended to include a no-smoking room this is well worth a visit if you love your beer. However there are no bandits, music or pool tables if they are what you seek. |

|||
| Market Place | (01283) 566932 | ||
| On the Market Place, formerly the Royal Oak, and before that, apparently, a police station. The owner (named Duffy of course) says he has tried to create a "local" in the town. He usually is open late on Fridays and Saturdays, serves guest beers such as Abbot Ale, and has regular live music. It does a brisk food trade at lunchtime, and in the milder weather you can sit outside and watch the world pass by! |

|
|||
| Lichfield Street | (01283) 742811 | ||
| Used to be an O'Neils Irish theme bar characterised by expensive Guinness and shutting before 11. Has now reverted to its old name and reduced prices somewhat though the "faux-Irish" trinkets still abound. No real ale but the Guinness is good, there is a pool table and Sky TV. Word of warning thought the "Irish" names are still on the toilet doors so work out whether you are a "Fir" or a "Mna"! |

|
|||
| Cross Street | (01283) 532551 | ||
| A
small back street pub, worth a visit just to see the bar, where beer is poured
directly from the barrels lined up on a shelf. These include Bass (which being next door to the brewery is lovely), Pedigree and Kimberley Classic. |

|
|||
| High Street | (01283) 512608 | ||
| Familiar chain pub. Cafe Bar type atmosphere during the day. Disco bar by night. Always busy at weekends but not as cheap as the Wetherspoons next door. |
| top | |||
|
|||
|
|||
| A recent addition to Burton night life. American bar diner that is more of a nightclub at weekends. Very busy but with a pleasing selection of music (ie 50's to 80's) for the non teens amongst us. Bar open to 1am weekends. Drinks are not cheap though but watch out for some excellent tribute bands on Thursday nights. |

|
|||
| High Street | (01283) 564382 | ||
| Loud and trendy bar with a late licence, used to be 'Barnaby's'. Sometimes doesn't open until later in the evening. The third of three neighbouring pubs on High Street (with Wetherspoon's and Yates's) so handy if you cant be bothered to walk far! |
| top | |||
|
|||
| Station Street | (01283) 566803 | ||
| Another pub with loud music and a late bar at weekends ('til 1am).Music tends to be "party" Saturday or "dance" Friday. No real ale but alcopops are the common drink in here anyway! |
| top | |||
|
|||
| Station Street | (01283) 500482 | ||
| Formerly known as TP Woods, and another cafe/eaterie by day and disco by night. Mansfield ales are served though and the music is a cross section of all sorts. This pub also has a pool table and plenty of video games, but does not have a late bar (yet?) |

|
|||
| High Street (corner of Worthington Way) | (01283) 535326 | ||
| Other than the presence of a big screen in the front room there is nothing to say why this is a "Sports Bar". Molly's Disco Bar perhaps! However a rare (perhaps only) outlet for Everard's beers in the town. Not bad beer if it didnt keep remind me of Larry Grayson for some strange reason! |

|
|||
| High Street (corner of Worthington Way) | (01283) 742881 | ||
| Is
it compulsory to call the pubs on this side of High Street "sports bars"?
This does have some fake sporting memorabilia a well as the loud music and basketball shaped beer pumps. |

|
|||
| Market Place | (01283) 564397 | ||
| I have to admit I have never even been in this "pre-club bar" owned by the people who own half the night clubs in the town. Young and loud! |
