Oak & Ivy
119-120 Wellington Street, Burton upon Trent DE14 2DP
A pleasant, friendly, mid-terrace local, within which a central bar serves a lively public bar and smaller comfortable lounge. A rear corridor linking the two rooms also provides access to the enclosed garden. Regular exchange of gossip and rumour gave rise to the pub being known locally as 'The Jungle' (from 'jungle telegraph'), but a welcoming board outside the front door explaining this (last noted in 2014) has disappeared!
Alfred Ale House
51 Derby Street, Burton upon Trent DE14 2LD
Built in the 1860s, this double-fronted terrace pub was the Truman's Brewery tap until the brewery closed in 1971 (see mirror and pictures in public bar). Various owners followed until it was bought by the Burton Bridge Brewery in 1996. Inside, a central bar counter serves two rooms, each featuring wood partitions topped with leaded stained glass, the left-hand room (lounge) having a raised seating area. There is also a small snug to the rear, featuring a charity book stall, some unusual barrel seats and submarine photographs/memorabilia. (The local branch of the Submariners Association meets here alternate Fridays.) Available beers are listed on a board. The pub is known locally for its range of English fruit wines. Food currently limited to traditional roast dinner on Sunday. Quiz night Wednesday; occasional live entertainment - see Facebook page for details.
Lord Burton
154 High Street, Burton upon Trent DE14 1JE
Named after Michael Arthur Bass, the brewer and first Lord Burton, this busy Wetherspoon's pub was formerly a Woolworth's store and is located close to the pedestrianised town centre and main shopping area. It opened in 1997. Old photographs of Burton adorn the walls of the large single room, with a few semi-enclosed raised seating areas on one side, and a rear section designated a 'family area'. An attractive, enclosed paved beer garden to the rear overlooks the Memorial Gardens, with the River Trent beyond (access gate open 8am until dusk). Alcoholic drinks available from 9am; guest beers sometimes from local micro-breweries.
Branston Arms
115 Branston Road, Burton upon Trent DE14 3DD
This traditional community local is situated about a mile south of the town centre. It was substantially altered and refurbished internally in 2012 to provide a large, smart, L-shaped single room, with a wood-topped bar counter around the inside corner. Fairly standard pub food, with children's menu. Buffets can be pre-arranged for groups/parties.
Waterloo Inn
50 Ashby Road, Burton upon Trent DE15 0LQ
A popular, traditional, two-roomed local, once a Worthington's pub, in the suburb of Winshill, east of the River Trent. Both the public bar and the lounge have recently been tastefully refurbished. An unusual feature is the decking area at the front, with picnic tables, which can be accessed via patio doors from the public bar, creating an alfresco atmosphere in warm weather. Pies, pasties and artisan cheeses are frequently available, but customers may bring takeaways (cutlery provided). Quiz night Sunday.
Dial Pub & Restaurant
174-175 Station Street, Burton upon Trent DE14 1BN

A long narrow interior comprises linked rooms extending back from the entrance, with a lounge bar area towards the front, a dining area beyond, and a function room to the rear. There is also a part covered roof terrace upstairs. Closed all day Thursdays in August.

Glensyl Way, Burton upon Trent DE14 1LX
Formerly an office, this small cosy bar is off to the side of the main brewery and features copious Burton brewing memorabilia. Opened for visitors in 2011 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the brewery, it became a public bar to showcase its beers in late 2012.

Winery
Manor Drive, Burton upon Trent DE14 3RW
The Winery is situated on the ground floor of an attractive Victorian building, but which incorporates parts of the 13th-century Burton Abbey infirmary, plus some early 20th-century extensions. Conversion into a pub (the Abbey Inn) took place as recently as 1975. After a period of closure and major refurbishment, it re-opened as the Winery in 2008. Described as “a haven of tranquility within yards of Burton town centre”, the bar (which occupies a former snooker room) and the restaurant, complete with some cosily screened seating areas, are both sumptuously furnished with comfortable seating and high quality, stylish decoration. Some of the tables overlook the attractive gardens leading down to the river. The three function rooms are furnished to a similarly high standard and overlook the riverside terrace. The Winery offers wide-ranging daytime, evening (à la carte) and Sunday lunch menus, plus a children’s (under 12) menu. There is also a special ‘afternoon tea’ menu for groups of 10+, available by prior arrangement. As the name implies, the provision of fine wines features strongly, and a magazine for oenophiles, The Nose, is published quarterly. The Burton Club, which boasted many of Burton's brewery founders among its early members, has occupied all or part of the building since 1910. .

There is a small bar counter to the side towards the rear, with the stillage room behind. The Gents incorporates an unusual 'keg' urinal!
