Derby Brewery Arms / The DBA

An independent-minded Cheetham Hill pub and event venue with music and queer community programming.

The Derby Brewery Arms, widely known as The DBA, is a large open-plan pub and event venue beside the Joseph Holt brewery. It hosts live music, club nights and queer community events including Butch Revival. A recent event access statement reported step-free circulation inside and a ground-floor smoking area, but also a two-inch lip at the front door and no accessible toilet.
