Derby’s Bar & Grill

The female bartender was the best!!! She went out of her way to make sure we were enjoying ourselves.

To start when walking in there was an older man in probably his 80s smoking in front of the door whom I thought was a patron but after sitting at the bar for a few minutes he strolled in after finishing his smoke and was the bartender. Got warm beer and warm glasses. No music, no patrons, and after bar rescue came no changes except for paint. Oh and you can’t get food until 8pm. Never again and I used to frequent that bar

Great new vibe!!! This place has been revamped into the place to go in Hemet. The new drink menu has several cool new drinks, the Jammer was my favorite!
The Flatbread sandwiches are worth the trip… the Italian was amazing!

Ehh it’s okay never really busy, music is alright I suppose. bathrooms can use some cleaning once in awhile the staff looks totally miserable everytime I’ve been there. Never have any good drink specials. I’d say last resort place.

Like this bar more than the others in town. It has a“dive bar” feel which makes it laid back compared to the over crowded bars in town as well as beers on tap, that they do rotate so its not always the same old ones while keeping a few staples. The staff is always super friendly! Love that they have an actual dance floor (not a tiny space either like The Office, El Patron, or The Anchor), regulation size pool tables, awesome drink prices (my favorite is the $ 5 mini pitchers of beer but you can get certain mixed drinks, like The Trash Can, in a mini pitcher also for a good deal) including a special «High Ball Menu» and nightly drink specials, a variety of seating (I hate having to choose between only bar stools or booths), beer pong is available (they even run cash tournaments so keep an eye out if you think you can win), and a variety of entertainment (karaōke, comedy shows, house and guest d. j’s, and LIVE MUSIC!) and on some of these nights the kitchen is open for a time period.
Drawbacks would be little things like they’ll close earlier if it’s not busy enough on some weeknights, some of the guest d. j’s can attract a rowdy crowd (just really depends on which one it is), the menu can use a little more variety aside from the bar staples they already offer, and the kitchen hours don’t seem to be really advertised so you do have to ask the server or bartender.

This bar is the best place in town to hear live bands. Music ranging from rock, folk, jazz, and even some ska. As well they have a great craft beer selection including beers from Modern Times, Hanger 24, and much more. Once or twice a month they do comedy shows featuring some of the best comedians from California. From great craft beers to great live entertainment this is a fun and chill place to go.

I have given this bar chances time and time again. Sometimes it is over crowed and others it is dead. I have many friends who go here and work here. So of course the staff is friendly!!! The best thing going for this bar is Karaōke. It needs to be spruced up! The bathrooms smell and the toilet hardly flushes. The DJ on Friday night is not the greatest DJ they have had. Glad that fights dont break out every night, but it was one of the most interesting this about that place. Haha. This bar is close to my house so I do perfer this place over other places, but I wish the owner took a little more pride in the establishment.

Super chill spot. They have great events, DJ’s and photographers always coming through! I’m here on Thursday and it’s a way chill environment.

This bar was a pleasant surprise. A little divey but that’s the draw. Service is quick and polite.

The bar itself is not bad, But the reality is its in a bad part of hemet. I was in an altercation there by some of the locals that I did not initiate. Ended up having my car keyed there and I was almost attacked for no reason, I use to be a patron, now I hope the place goes out of business its a cesspool for degenerates, the people that go their are irrational who are looking to start violence.

Was visiting family and bored out of my mind. thought I’d check out the local wild life on a Friday night around 11pm. 5 people in the whole place including myself, the karaōke dj, bartender, barback, drunk girl dancing by herself in the corner, and bouncer… Some funny little man in a giant cowboy hat playing pool with a thug looking dude. Was dark and. sticky? Totally skeezed me out. Wanted to like it cos I try not a be a snob, but I won’t be going back anytime soon.

Not my favorite bar in the area, but its decent. Depending on the day you go. Thursday night @10 pm it turns to a ghetto club scene instead of a kick-​back pool hall. They have 3 tables. 2 in the main room, 1 in a side room. The side room gets pretty stuffy. Tables are not that great. They are free if you purchase drinks. If you’re looking to play on better tables, go to Great Shot Billiards. $ 11/​pitcher of premium beers (oktoberfest)
