Restaurant
Walled City Brewery is a stylish, family-owned brewpub and eatery known for its craft beer flights and diverse international small plates. Situated on the eastern side of the River Foyle, it offers picturesque views of the old city. The brewery is housed in a former army barracks and has gained recognition as one of Northern Ireland's top bars.
Came here for lunch with my partner - both our dishes were absolutely beautiful. I had the pork and he had the sea bass. Drinks also delicious. I'm currently pregnant and asked if one of the cocktails could be made with no alcohol and this was no issue for them - it was the nicest mocktail I've had! The young girl looking after us was also lovely. Will definitely be back :)
Carla — Google review
Such great care from the hostess, servers and bartenders. The food was also top notch. We had the cauliflower vegetarian main and a chicken dish. Both far exceeded our expectations. We did not have reservations BUT the hostess found a cancellation and we waited over beers and cider made in house. She found us about 30 minutes early and was so very nice (checking on us throughout the meal). A fantastic first night in Derry!! Close to the Peace Bridge. Hope to be back to try the small batch gins.

One of the best meals I had in Ireland, and their beer was fantastic as well. Everything was made very fresh because they don’t start cooking the next course until you finish what you are having. Amazing service and refreshing food compared to all the fried pub meals I had the rest of the week!

Thank you Walled City Brewery for making our wedding reception one to remember! The Taproom looked amazing and was perfect for our crowd. Everyone had a great time and, of course, the phenomenal food and drink just proved why we picked you in the first place! So many comments about how delicious it all was. The staff were all so friendly and helpful and, of course, Cat ran the whole show seamlessly from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for better!

I have dined in restaurants across the globe, and not a lot compares to this evening’s dinner. The service was absolutely rapid, attentive, and delivered some of the most fantastic food I have ever tasted with a smile for less than one hundred pounds for two. I will be talking about this for years to come.

Craft brewing in the Walled City! This was on our radar, and we were here for the beer. Foyster Stout was my go to, and it did not disappoint. Very well done. And the other, an IPA called Stitch. Both were quite good. Nice job WCB!

We love eating at Breweries but we rarely had such amazing food in one. Good spice level on the dumplings and the seabass and the pork belly were both super beautifully presented and super balanced in flavor. The beer is great too, get the Oyster Stout with the seabass and be amazed!

Pub
Restaurant
Badgers Bar and Restaurant, located on the lively Strand road in Derry, has been a local favorite since 1922. The traditional Victorian-style pub maintains its original design and offers a cozy atmosphere with friendly staff, great food, and an excellent beer menu. It is known for its infamous quiz nights and live local music. The bar also features the Derry Girls Mural capturing the charm of the city's famous five.
Badgers Bar & Restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is out of this world—every dish bursts with flavor and the portions are proper hearty. Their “Derry Grill” Irish breakfast is hands-down the best I’ve ever had, and the pint of Guinness that goes with it is pure class. The staff are warm, chatty, and make you feel right at home from the minute you walk in. They’re dog-friendly at certain tables—just ring ahead or pop in and try your luck. Between the buzzing atmosphere, amazing grub, and top-notch service, this pub is not to be missed!

Came here for the fish and chips and it did not disappoint! The fish was perfectly battered and they gave you quite a large piece. I really enjoyed that you could pick a side too. I got the sweet potato fries which were great and my wife got champ. The beers are great, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.

Very busy place, pretty nice atmosphere and character with a nice variety of decorations. Roast beef was overcooked and tough. Beef and Guinness stew was ok. Cearser dirty salad was bad. Parsley sauce just had dried parsley sitting at the bottom of the service cup, and we had stir it to mix in the parsley . Philly cheese steak was nothing special. Irish breakfast was fine. Thick fries were ok, not greasy. The garlic potatoes cubes were tasty. Small tap list of beets. Guiness was poured properly. The Rough as Badger hazy IPA had a very mild hop flavour for a hazy IPA, I was expecting more flavour. The booth seating is very short in depth maybe 13 inches in depth, so seating was not comfortable. Service was pretty good and friendly.

Nestled in the vibrant city of Derry, Blackbird is a newly opened bar that has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. This stylish venue offers an impressive selection of craft beers sourced from across Ireland, alongside some of the most delightful cocktails you can find in the North. With its inviting wooden booths, plush leather sofas, and warm roaring fires, Blackbird strikes a perfect balance between modern chic and cozy comfort.
Wonderful pub with great food, friendly service, and good live music at night. I had a burger and a couple of pints, left, and came back with a group of my students to listen to the music after the Rocking Chair's owner kicked them out for being under 23. We all had a grand time and spent a good bit of money as well, so his loss and our gain.
Scott H — Google review
This is a great spot. Stopped in for a lovely lunch with my girlfriend. It was quiet so we were told we could sit anywhere and chose one of the big booths. Seats were very comfortable and the decor inside is lovely. Drinks were served very quickly. Took a while to get our food order although in fairness my girlfriend was on her phone for a bit which is probably why. I had the chicken burger and requested the tempura vegetable starter to be served alongside it. Chicken burger was nice although nothing particularly special about it. Tempura vegetables were beautiful and the sauce served with it was fantastic with a lovely spice. My girlfriend had the chicken stack served in a rich chorizo sauce and topped with an onion ring. It looked fantastic and a he thoroughly enjoyed it.

Don't judge a book by it's cover! I'll be honest, walking towards the place and seeing the outside of it, I wasn't blown away and was not expecting much. From the minute we walked inside everything changed. The interior is lovely, the staff amazing, and the food is fabulous! Despite how busy it was inside, there was not a long wait for food. The food - huge portions and excellent quality. We both had the curry, one was fish and one chicken. It had a nice little kick to it, but not hot at all. I'm not a fan for curry so spicy it hurts! The sides were also very generous, and the garlic potatoes were the best we've had in Derry. Would absolutely visit again!
Morgan H — Google review
Nice food and service! The chicken curry was amazing and the SALT & CHILLI POTATOES were TERRIFIC!!! My favorite ones! I wouldn’t recommend the 1/2 ROAST CHICKEN. It was not bad…but probably there are better dishes. The live music is lovely!

We arrived just after the kitchens closed (19:45), but the manager still allowed us to order. I had the 10oz sirloin (medium rare) and my wife had the chicken stuffed with goats cheese. Both arrived promptly and we delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone. Good service with a lively environment.
Andy K — Google review
We were really disappointed with our meal at Blackbird Restaurant. We ordered the haddock, which was far from great — it tasted greasy and undercooked, like it had been fried in oil that wasn’t hot enough. It also didn’t come with the mushy peas and lemon wedge that were clearly listed on the menu. We’ve been traveling around Ireland for over 10 days now, and unfortunately, this was the worst meal we’ve had so far. We ended up not even finishing our dinner. Overall, a big letdown and we won’t be returning.

The Grand Central Bar, a beloved traditional pub in the heart of Derry city, has been a local favorite since 1922. Despite its modest size, it exudes a larger-than-life personality with its original design and cozy interior. This lively watering hole on Strand Road offers a welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and an excellent selection of pub food and beers. It's renowned for its infamous quiz nights and live local music performances that draw both locals and tourists alike.
A grand place. I got lucky and wandered in on a Sunday night and there was traditional music, great local crowd. The bartenders were charming and helpful with trying new whiskey. People around the room took turns singing and they had lovely voices. An absolutely charming spot, exactly what I would want on a night out.

On visit to Derry to see the walls we stopped off at the The Grand Central bar with a disabled friend, who had a disability scooter. After a couple of beers we were asked to leave by the bar lady. She said the scooter was blocking her way, although there were 12 kegs of beer on the floor taking up a lot of room. The message was clear, If you are disabled you are not welcome here

Came here after a friend's recommendation the night before his wedding. Safe to say this was the biggest night out of the wedding weekend! The music was great, the drinks were great and the atmosphere was great. We luckily got a table in front of the bar where we could see the music and it was magic. Everybody was friendly and having a right laugh. Shame that the wedding was a write-off for us the next day...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Peadar O’Donnell’s is everything you want in an Irish pub. Hands down the BEST pint I had in Ireland (high praise, but absolutely true). The vibe is as authentic as it gets — lively, welcoming, and full of character. The music, the people, and the atmosphere make you feel like you’re experiencing the real Ireland. If you’re in Derry, this is a must-visit. You’ll walk in for a pint and end up staying for the experience.

Bennigans Bar, located in the heart of Derry, is a popular spot for music enthusiasts and social butterflies. The bar boasts unique urban decor reminiscent of Berlin's art scene and features a playable piano that sets the stage for impromptu performances. With live music every night spanning various genres like jazz, rock, and local talent during arts festivals, Bennigans Bar offers an intimate yet vibrant atmosphere.
I want to commend a bartender, Patrick, for his excellent customer service. He’s a credit to the pub and made us feel so welcome. He poured a literally perfect pint and made the already relaxing atmosphere feel so warm and inviting to all of the patrons. Thank you, Patrick! Wonderful jazz music, too.

All main bits ie Yorkshire puddings and roasted potatoes were frozen veg very hard gravy with just like thick gloop Definitely wouldn’t come again.

Beautiful food, which was reasonably priced. The staff who served us were very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed with both Derry and Armagh fans getting fed and watered before the match!! Guinness was great, and the wife enjoyed 2 beautiful cocktails!! We'll definitely be back when next up in Derry!

Popped in for a light dinner and was very surprised, nice and warm on the coldest night of the year, very fast and friendly staff. Got the hallomi salad, which blew my mind. Wow. And the pushed pork and toast for a protein hit. Food and value were spectacular 👌 minor updates. Followed by a delious Liit cocktail 🍸

Popped in for lunch on a Thursday, pretty quiet, which seems odd for such a great place. Warmed up after a while. The food was delicious and good choice. Enjoyed the house ipa as well. Good selection of crafty stuff. Music for me was top notch as well, not often you get hear Joy Division in a pub.

We recently spent the day in Derry-Londonderry and went to the Taphouse for a late lunch. The restaurant was quiet, the welcome was warm. Drinks were good. Food was very good although I found the batter a bit heavy on the fish. However, the food was hot and was nicely presented. Would recommend.

food was fine and the interior is really fun. It took 50 minutes, asking three times, and going up to the bar to get waters for the group I was with. Waitstaff that we had asked for water stood at host station were sipping soda & talking with their friends instead of helping us out. In addition, we watched several groups come in, order, eat, and pay before we received drinks or food. Lack of care on the part of staff outweighed anything lovely with the rest of the place.

Cool venue, quiet at lunch. Fab gluten free food! Perfect calamari. Highly recommend I originally ordered soup and toastie on gluten-free bread. When I was informed they’d run out of bread I realized just how many gluten free options were actually on the menu. So I ordered their deep fried calamari and chips. Amazing!! Delicate batter, soft calamari and crispy chips. Vegan mayo for my dairy and egg intolerant sister too.

We were looking forward to eating here after it came highly recommended. They don't take reservations, so when we came in at 6:45 (kitchen closed at 8) and there were several empty tables out front, 1 large table inside and a few out back, we thought they could accommodate our small group of 4 for dinner. They explained they just couldn't possibly feed us as the kitchen was closing (in an hour and a half). We asked if some other establishment nearby was open later. Were told to try another bar/restaurant down the street. Arrived and the door man wouldn't let us in because our younger child (13y) was too young...a fact your staff member undoubtedly knew would prevent us from dining there either. We saw your man as we walked by looking for another place to eat. He laughed at us. Apparently sending hungry families on a futile hunt is good craic for your staff. It's okay, we had a lovely meal, dropped £200 at another establishment and laughed and laughed with the kind folks who wanted to welcome diners, not play games. We would never treat people like this in my home city. So sad you feel the need to.

Called here during Halloween weekend and the place was packed. Didn't think we'd get a table seeing as there was 11 of us, but we managed to get 2 booths upstairs. The barmaid was very polite and accommodating as was the waitress that looked after our food order. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Only negative was that while waiting on our desserts the manageress gave away our children's booth without so much as asking were we finished using it ( the kids were away playing pool ).

Our group were split over two table as per covid rules but they made sure we were all served together and keep our rounds as one, never messing up a drink order once with all of us ordering different drinks.

Used to love the metro but arrived this evening in a shirt, smart shorts and shoes. I was told that there is a no shorts policy. I can completely understand why flip flops are not appropriate bit seems a wee bit old-fashioned to say women are allowed to expose legs all year round but men never are. I recommend to the owner/ manager to go on a night outon a similar or significantly fancier place literally anywhere else in the world in summer- men can wear smart shorts. 😕

*** Browns in Town — BRAVO, BRAVO! *** Wow, just wow! This place absolutely deserves a Michelin mention — a truly exceptional dining experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted warmly by the front-of-house staff and seated promptly. The restaurant wasn’t overly busy, yet it carried an elegant, vibrant atmosphere. The clientele were well-dressed, mature, and clearly there for the fine dining experience rather than a quick bite. Every gentleman seemed to be in a suit, every lady beautifully dressed, it set the tone immediately: this was a classy establishment. There was no noise or commotion, no cheap chaos like you might find in the lower-end spots nearby. Instead, there was calm, style, and quiet anticipation of good food, and did they deliver! We were offered the set dinner menu, priced at £34.50 for two courses or £43 for three. At first glance, it might seem slightly on the pricier side, but let me assure you — it is worth every single penny. The menu was beautifully balanced with options that felt curated and seasonal. We decided to indulge and go for three courses each. Our selections were: Starters: Crispy Chicken Wings Mains: Pan-Seared Duck Breast and 8oz Fillet Steak (served with seasonal vegetables and skinny chips) Dessert: Milk Chocolate Truffle Cake Drinks: The house red for my wife, and the Browns Bound Beer for myself. The drinks were a perfect introduction. The house red was soft, smooth, slightly sweet yet mellow; a truly enjoyable glass of wine. The Browns Bound beer was light, subtly citrusy, and perfectly balanced; refreshing but sophisticated. Both drinks paired beautifully with our mains. The chicken wings arrived piping hot and wonderfully crisp; clearly freshly cooked, with just the right amount of coating and a beautifully balanced buffalo sauce that had flavour without overpowering heat. Then came the mains, and I can safely say these were both showstoppers. The Pan-Seared Duck Breast was, quite simply, perfection on a plate. Cooked flawlessly; tender, juicy, and full of depth. The accompanying condiments, including the rich red wine jus, added a beautiful fruity undertone that married perfectly with the duck. Every bite was an explosion of flavour; elegant, balanced, and sophisticated. It was so good that I’d happily return to Browns In Town just for this dish alone. The Fillet Steak was equally outstanding. I’ve had steaks in many restaurants across the UK and Europe, but very few get it this right. The meat was tender, buttery, and perfectly seasoned. What truly surprised me was the peppercorn sauce, it was the best I’ve ever had. Rather than being harsh or overly peppery, it was creamy, mild, and beautifully flavoured, it complemented the steak rather than dominating it. The seasoning, the quality of the meat, and the finesse of cooking; all of it showed the skill and care that goes into every dish here. By the time dessert arrived, I thought nothing could top the previous two courses but I was wrong. The Milk Chocolate Truffle Cake was divine. It had a light, mousse-like texture that simply melted in the mouth. It wasn’t overly sweet, and the accompanying vanilla ice cream complemented it beautifully without overpowering the chocolate flavour. It was the perfect way to end an exceptional meal. The service throughout was faultless. The staff were polite, attentive, and genuinely seemed passionate about what they do. They checked on us just enough without hovering, a balance that only truly great restaurants get right. The atmosphere remained relaxed and elegant from start to finish. Our total bill came to just over £100 for two people, which, considering the outstanding quality of the food, presentation, and overall experience, felt like exceptional value for money. You truly get what you pay for — top-quality ingredients, beautifully cooked dishes, and professional service. Browns In Town has now firmly secured its place as one of my top restaurants. 5 STARS! Browns in Town — you’ve earned two loyal customers! Bravo!

Overly priced, tiny portions. Pretentious. Not tasty. I don't care if the food is pretentious but it needs to be delicious. Pickled onion rings not even cooked through and just kind of weird. Chicken seasoned fries were overly seasoned and tasted of way too much msg(which I love when used correctly) Chicken supreme was a supreme let down. Everything was a bit sour, even the seafood chowder which was really just fish chowder. Peanut butter cheesecake was not very much like cheesecake, the ice cream was delicious but was such a tiny scoop. Service was practically non existent. Very disappointing. Plenty of good spots nearby... go to any of them instead.

This restaurant was open later with their kitchen than many others in the area, they saved us when we were afraid we wouldn't get something to eat. It was a very busy spot for that reason, but they made us feel welcomed and we didn't sit at the bar for more than 15 minutes or so before our table was ready. Food was great and we didn't have to worry even though they were closing within 1 hr of our arrival. Watching the bartenders was also amazing, everyone there handled the very busy night well and we enjoyed our food arriving in great time.

We stopped for lunch at The Exchange in Derry/Londonderry and were thoroughly impressed by both the food and the atmosphere. I ordered the tuna and cheese sandwich along with the seafood soup, and both dishes were great. The tuna and cheese sandwich was light and fluffy, with the tuna being well-seasoned. The cheese added a creamy richness that complemented the tuna perfectly. The seafood stew was equally as good with a variety of seafood in a creamy broth. Both were comforting and satisfying dishes that I would highly recommend to any seafood lover.

A must for your visit to Londonderry. This place was a bit bonkers and seemed like organized chaos. We did not have a reservation (suggest you should try and get one) so we waited at the bar for a table to come up. Tons of people (read fun people watching!) We recommend the salt and Chili pepper chicken bites, the burger, and we loved to the last one, the garlic potato cubes. Fun place with so much going on. We were there on a Saturday night in August.

Made an online booking which was very easily done. Phoned a few hours later to alter the booking and told the staff on the phone we needed a wheelchair accessible table to which she replied 'no problem'. Party arrived at the restaurant to find a set of stairs leading to the dining room. No lift, no stair lift, no downstairs seating. Surely the girl on the phone should've twigged that if we needed a wheelchair accessible table, we'd also need wheelchair access to the restaurant itself, but no, she failed to mention this on the call. We managed to get everyone upstairs eventually. Food was nothing to get excited about. Service was poor. We were given starters we didn't order and there was confusion with the mains. when the waitress brought the mains down she called them something different so we commented that we didn't order that, to which we were told 'yes you did'. Staff were not very helpful. Wouldn't return

Oldest pub in Derry. Interesting fact: the bar only accepts sterling coins. Will not take euro coins ?!? Gave the bartender €10 euros (bills) for a rum and sprite (no pineapple juice or lemonade) for 6.25 € and got back £3.50 sterling pounds in coins.

The food is highly praised for its quality and value, with dishes like surf and turf, rump steak, ribs, Mexican fries, and salt and chilli chicken receiving rave reviews. The atmosphere is outstanding with polite staff creating a welcoming environment.
Great service! Great menu! Tasty food! And, reasonable! Huge portions and you get to pick a side. The lamb shank was incredibly good, as were the onions rings, mashed potatoes, and peppercorn sauce. Big 8 oz burger.

The food was excellent, as always in the Dungloe bar. They are really consistent in terms of quality. The prices are good, considering the quality of the food. We had the salt and chilli chicken and the chicken stack, both with salt and chilli chips. There is a very extensive menu, and we have tried quite a few of the dishes in the past. It never disappoints. The staff are really helpful and efficient at their job. Will definitely return and highly recommend!!!

Large that serves food all day has a good varied menu with waiter service for food and drinks Portions are big and they do that thing most pubs in Derry do where you choose a free side so I struggled to finish my meal ( not complaining) Dungloe has a better side choice than most pubs in Derry Large bar on 3 levels so even when busy they can squeeze you in

Granny Annie's Kitchen & Bar is a lively establishment located in the heart of Waterloo Street, offering a unique two-floor space with a cozy and quirky ambiance reminiscent of your grandmother's house. The venue caters to diverse tastes, featuring live music downstairs every night and a sports bar with a disco upstairs. This popular local pub warmly welcomes both locals and visitors, providing an energetic atmosphere with continuous party vibes, abundant beer, and frequent live band performances.
First time here and was amazed by the size and the decor. Sloping shelves, furniture upside down on the ceiling and all the furniture and lighting made from pipes. I love quirky places and this is a brilliant place for a quick drink whilst you're taking a break from shopping or a night out. Staff are friendly and there is a lovely atmosphere.

Cannot recommend at all, ordered 2 light bites and a starter, they cannot manage to serve the food at the same time, takes them 45 minutes to prepare a "steak sandwich" in an empty restaurant, meat on the sandwiches looked like the waste of the regular steaks they serve, don't even ask how you want your steak done and waiters sneaking, around looking over your shoulder, making you feel uncomfy, oh yeah, and for 12 quid, the bits of beef were charcoal, as were 2/3 of the onions and the mushrooms you had to look for with a magnifying glass.. I only ate it, as I had to pay for it as for the toilet, you might want to use some cleaner to get the stains of months from the metal

Very friendly team, helped our group of 12 get seated and served well. Thoroughly enjoyed the chicken fettuccine, chicken cooked perfectly and peppery sauce light and seasoned well. Everyone in the party enjoyed their dishes, and my sister reports the best hot whiskey she's had in Ireland this trip.

The Rocking Chair is well worth a visit. Even though it was very busy when we arrived, the service was 1st class and the staff were very helpful and efficient.

We stopped here for lunch after visiting the city in the morning, due to its great location near the city walls, and had a very tasty meal. The burgers are very generously sized, fresh and absolutely delicious! We tried the Louisiana Smash and Rocker burgers which were both fantastic and a bit creative in terms of flavours. The Korean fries and garlic chips were great too. For kids - There is a very good choice of 5 or so dishes on the kids menu, our daughter loved the sausages. Atmosphere - calm and welcoming in the dining area, we were made to feel welcome with our child. There is also an outdoor deck with nice views. Service - quick, helpful and with a smile. I would definitely recommend this place for a meal or a drink.

Never knew that Northern Ireland (Londonderry) do eat spicy food. I ordered a spicy chicken kebab, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY BITE!!! The staff were professional yet friendly and are patient with new people. I’m glad that I did not end up in mcdonald or kfc, because I would have regretted that! I have already recommended this place to a lot of the people. They make their food fresh and hot <3 Also, it’s worth the money and time ! I miss this in London, hope they open a outlet there as well!

Wonderful food and service, definitely one of our best meals in Ireland. We asked the locals and they said: either Custom House or next door Exchange are the best. Didn't manage Exchange (would've had to wait over one hour for a table) but we were so happy to have asked! :-) Only 3 stars is either a joke or a publicity campaign against the place.

As a visitor to the City I went to the Foyle Seafood Festival last week and had an amazing dish of Salt & Chili Squid. We returned to eat the next day and was told this dish was sold out. We went next door to the Exhange and planned to return to Custom House this week before we left the City We went yesterday a week later and again was told Salt & Chili Squid was not available - Friday evening at 6/7? Thought this was most unusual. We decided to eat there as it was raining. Both of us had Fish & Chips. Everytime I went to the eat the fish I got a whiff of Chinese food. The batter was so hard and when one opened it there was a layer of yellow sauce inside and a very small strip of actual fish. It was the worse fish and chips I ever had.

Additionally, there are four fantastic soft play centers and an indoor trampoline park for the little ones to enjoy. The company also provides professional services for events such as retirement parties and weddings, offering casino tables and DJs.
We booked a mini casino for entertainment on our wedding day and it was an absolute hit. We had a roulette table and a blackjack table. They used funny money for the guests to bet with, and our guests had a blast. They really encouraged the guests to enjoy the tables, and at the end of the reception the people with the most amount of money won prizes. The only thing we had to organise was the actual prizes to be handed out. They did absolutely everything else, which took a huge stress off of us on our big day. They were very professional and easy to deal with in the run up to our wedding, and were equally professional on the day. Would highly recommend- especially if you are looking for something different for your drinks reception entertainment.

Third time I've used this amazing company and I'm blown away by the professionalism and attention to detail. Had the casinos and DJ for our Directors retirement bash!! Absolutely amazing! It was only when we arrived at the hotel to decorate at 5pm did we realise that the casino tables would need set up before the meal. I rang the emergency number in a panic and the guy reassured me that everything would be fine and they would get there asap. (I had booked them for 9.30pm). Amazing, they were in and set up by 7.30pm even though it was a 90 min drive and that was the DJ also!!. The best bit.....NO EXTRA CHARGE!!! When I tried to pay the man extra he said he knew how important the night was to me and it was his pleasure to help me out. This is why I booked again and again for my sister's 40th and for a work colleagues daughters wedding. 5 star every time. Wouldn't dream of going elsewhere!!!0

Had the 6oz Burger with Garlics, and I'll be honest, it wasn't great at all. Patty was bland, very little seasoning or moisture to it. The bread dry, and the salad leaves didn't react to the heat of the patty to well. Top Tip: Don't use old limp rocket because it just looks disgusting when exposed to heat, iceberg all the way. The onion rings were chewy, so, didn't eat those. The garlics were passable having been dipped in a good pepper sauce, which is served with a burger? Make it make sense? The bacon and cheese topping, forgettable. Was expecting rashers, but instead got a few bacon bits, cut backs I guess. We were seated and asked 3 times if we were getting a drinks order by 3 different people, which smacks of a lack of station discipline. Summary: Cheap enough, but not really a dish I would ever order again from here, maybe try something else.

Popped in and only had a short wait for a seat after being told 30-40 minutes. The staff were kind and quick, and we had the Sunday dinner. We both had the lamb, which was a bit tough, but the flavour was lovely. Good stop for a quick, fairly inexpensive bite.

This was my first time in The Old Docks Bar and Grill, its a great place to go for a late lunch, I can highly recommend the burgers they are divine. The staff were very attentive even down to explaining the different types of beers that were available and as I wasn't driving that day it would have been rude to refuse a pint or two of their ale on tap. Great place, great atmosphere and decor, will definitely be back. Thanks folks..

We are there last night and we had two waitresses and were both wonderful. They both went out of their way to check allergens for me since I can't eat dairy or gluten and they had a separate gluten free menu as well. I don't have any reactions from my food and it was absolutely delicious!!!! Highly recommend it!

Busy restaurant. It looked good from the outside. Was okay inside. Very noisy with several birthdays being celebrated. Food was okay. I ordered the fish & chips, the others ordered a steak pie and salt & pepper chicken. The pie was warm but a bit cold in the center. The fish batter was too thick and greasy so it was easier to take the fish out and eat that on its own and it tasted better like that. Service with the drinks & food was a bit like dining at Wagamamas. Overall it was okay and some improvements need to be made to the food and service.

Food was good. My friend got The guineas and meat pie which it was delicious and I've got grilled salmon and it was good. They had live music if you are a fan of load place & live music.

The Trinity Bar is a must-visit spot with an extensive menu and excellent food quality. The decor is beautiful, and the staff are friendly and helpful. While some desserts fell short of expectations, the overall dining experience was exceptional. Despite being slightly understaffed at times, the delicious food and stunning decor make up for it. The unique venue offers a great selection of drinks, including cocktails, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal with friends or family.
The Trinity Bar is well worth a visit. They have a very extensive menu with plenty to choose from. Yes, it is more expensive than other restaurants in Derry, but the quality of the food is excellent. We had various starters and mains, and we could not fault any of it. The steak, in particular, was perfectly cooked and tasted great. There is a great selection of drinks, including loads of cocktails. The service is excellent and the staff are lovely. My only negative would be the decor, not really my thing, but that's my own personal opinion. We have eaten here a few times and will return.

Got the bang bang chicken and my wife got chicken goujons, the bang bang chicken didn’t come with bang bang sauce but came with a honey and mustard dip, the goujons according to the menu came with a garlic sauce but it was sour cream. The presentation was good for the food but unless the taste is great there’s not much point having great presentation. The staff were quite good but we were waiting quite a while to get a drink. Also we decided to have a go at the poker machine at the bar but we were constantly bumped into by the staff with no apologies as it’s located to close to the bar and would be better areas for this. The place is beautiful, it was quiet for a Friday night. The guy playing the music was playing good songs and a nice volume. Was a little disappointed but altogether it was fine for what it was! Wanted to give it 3 starts but couldn’t due to the quality of the food

On July 6, 2022, I visited Lock & Quay, a bar known for its exceptional service. Upon arrival, I immediately noticed the outstanding customer service provided by Joe. Before heading to the restaurant area, my companions and I enjoyed some pre-dinner drinks in the bar. The service was fast and efficient, and the food we ordered was truly delicious. One of my partners decided to try three different starters: risotto and portobello mushroom dishes that were highly praised.
Had dinner(Cajun chicken, parmesan & mushroom linguini) and dessert(affogato) in the bar, absolutely delicious, fantastic attentive service and food and drinks(long island iced tea and a bramble) were served quickly! Definitely will be back

Charming hotel. The parking was through the shopping center. It was a bit awkward to unload, given no designated place to park and unload. We had to illegally park to unload. That is not the hotel's fault, given they are in the middle of the city.

The staff were very accomodating even though we showed up fairly late for dinner on a Saturday night. We are traveling from Melbourne Australia and rate the food here very highly. Reasonably priced for high quality dishes. It’s always tricky traveling with two little ones but the staff made us feel right at home and nothing was too much an ask. Thank you for an experience we won’t forget!

The manager is clearly out of his depth, unprepared for a busy night and hasn't trained his staff properly. We waited 35 minutes for drinks. He's advised they were very busy but they had had alot of staff, it was just chaotic and the manager lost control. I seen him shouting at staff and customers. Very poor form

The Brass Neck is a vibrant spot that truly captures the essence of a lively pub experience. Recently, I enjoyed a delightful brunch there, where the atmosphere was buzzing with energy and great craic. The food was delicious, complemented by stunning cocktails, though options like WKD and bottled beers were also available for those who preferred something different. What stood out was the relaxed vibe; we weren't rushed off our tables and could soak in an entire day filled with fantastic live music that engaged everyone present.
Just called in on my walk round the city ,the staff were very friendly and I ordered a burger and chip with a pint . All was good would go back

I ate here on 31/1/25 with my daughter, before going to the Millennium Forum to see Deirdre O’Kane…and greatly wished I hadn’t!!! We ordered food and I asked what was gluten free, as I have coeliac disease. I was shown on the menu all food labelled with ’c’ and ordered the bbq wings and the falafel-both ordered gluten free. When the food arrived the bread with the falafel looked really nice, not the usual gluten free bread I normally get-my daughter had a bite and thought it was too nice for gluten free bread! I asked our server if it was definitely gluten free, to which he replied yes. I still wasn’t convinced and asked a young woman who passed our table-she went off to check and came back with another yes-I replied, “Really! It’s really nice!” I ate the meal and 20 minutes into the theatre performance I just managed to run to the disable toilet before I collapsed and spent the next hour and 10 minutes on the toilet and throwing up-a violent evacuation of the food which clearly contained gluten, as this is my usual reaction…we missed the remainder of the show and my daughter managed to get me in a cab back to our hotel, where I spent the majority of the night on the bathroom floor, frequently going to the toilet and writhing in agony. I have tried several times to phone the restaurant but just keep getting the answer phone, we even tried coming to speak to a manager around 11:30am the next morning, but the place was locked up with the shutters down, even though on the website it stated the opening time was 10am. Clearly I survived the experience but I felt ill for days after this-others with other allergies would not be so lucky. I am just wondering if me being fed the wrong food is a genuine mistake or a distinct lack of staff training-i spoke to the manager eventually who assured me he would speak to the owner-nothing…I’ve sent two messages via the website-nothing…obviously no one cares, they just took the £50…very poor 👎🏻 Alison

Went for our staff Xmas night out. Booked a table for 5 and left £50 deposit. Never again! Worst place I have ever eaten in. It was £30 for 2 courses and it was like canteen food, sorry that's an insult to school canteen food. It was obviously cooked by people who know nothing about cooking food or presentation of food. Vile is all I can say. We ate some of it because we were starving. Had to wait 20 mins for someone's desert after everyone else's was finished. When we complained at the end saying we weren't happy the manager was down right rude with an aggressive attitude, quite frightening to be honest. Can't believe we spent this much money in such a dive. I will never be back and would avoid at all costs. The only good thing about this place was the guy who served us. He was a Belfast lad from the Shortstrand, a gentleman with a good sense of humour.

We just had drinks, so I cannot vouch for the food, and listened to an amazing live band. There were plenty of seats while other pubs were packed. No one harassed us to order more drinks. The band didn’t accept tips, and they also declined my offer to buy them a drink. Love this place!

Had Brunch in the Brass Neck recently, was really lively great craic, food was beautiful and cocktails stunning, not everyone in the group was keen on having cocktails so they were able to have wkd and btls of beer instead which was great. We were not rushed off our tables ( like i have experienced in other places) and able to enjoy a full day of music the singers where great and got all groups involved. The staff were all lovely.

Went here on a staff do, and have to say will not be returning. Ordered turkey and ham, dinner was just ok, gravy was like water and dessert was abysmal. Chocolate brownie as per picture could not even eat it. Staff had a terrible attitude and were walking around and chatting with friends. We had to go up to the bar after waiting over 40 minutes for someone to take out order and ask for a waitress. When we phoned to book we were advised we could have table for the night and as soon as our meal was over a staff member who was very rude came over to us and said people were queuing to get in and we were taking up a table and asked us to leave. I advised her when we booked we were advised we could have table for the night, and she said well no I don't know who said that but you'll have to move. She then said we could move over to beside the door to stand. We spent over £200 in food and drinks at this point and when we complained about dessert staff member just shrugged her shoulders and said well what do you want me to do about it. Well saying we left at this point and carried on our night elsewhere. Music was really good with fella on acoustic guitar and to say we were disappointed is an understatement. Will definitely not be returning and would not recommend.

Probably my worst experience dining out. We came in at 19:30 with a group and at 21:15 just a couple of us received their food, which, on top of all, was the wrong order. Above that, the food was mediocre. At around 21:40 the rest of the meals started crawling in. It was just a big chaos honestly.

Travelled to Derry after the Accies v Coleraine game. Friends had recommended Mary B's and we weren't disappointed. We'd had a few drinks on Waterloo Street but decided to head to Mary B's after the pubs there got too busy. Mary B's is a traditional Irish 'boozer' that sells a great pint of Guinness. The owner, Gerry, has some of the best patter I've heard. The regulars make you feel really welcome and the craic was brilliant. Will definitely be back if Accies ever play over there again

A true Irish experience in every sense of the word I walked in with my daughters during our country wide tour & immediately we were greeted with hello’s & welcome’s not only from the bartender Aemon, but from the 5 patrons on the bar.. After 6 hours i had been invited to someone’s house for dinner, 3 people worked on finding me an airbnb because the drive to Galway was too far & even had offers to stay in people’s houses! (Ps.. we stayed 3 doors away at an airbnb owned by one of their friends) Meeting all of these people and having conversations about everything from politics to food and everything in between! A true Irish pub is all about the people, the craic & the pints.. this place exceeding every expectation that i had for a corner pub! Slainte to all of my new friends

Nestled in the heart of the city, Nacional de Cuba is a must-visit destination for those seeking a lively atmosphere and an impressive array of cocktails. Known for their creative margaritas, this vibrant venue offers a delightful experience that keeps patrons coming back for more. While it can get quite crowded at times, leading to longer wait times, the overall ambiance and friendly staff make up for any minor inconveniences. Guests rave about their cocktail classes, which are perfect for celebrations and gatherings with friends.
Great bar and sound people. The ladies behind the bar were amongst the soundest people I’ve ever met. Not just that but the bouncers were reasonable people, not normal for bouncers anywhere in the world. I have to say bouncers in Derry in general are just sound normal people without an ego. John and Michael in particular, just calm people who dealt with a stray drunk lad without making a deal out of it in any way. A lesson in de-escalation. Great bar, honestly one of the best bars in Derry

Was in last night and a young bar man with black hair had 0 manners and 0 customer service skills not to mention the appalling bar skills. Paid for 2 cocktails and got 1 and a half. When I tried to chat to him about it he ignored me completely. All in all bar staff were very rude in my opinion but the bouncer was a great fella. Will not be back.

Really disappointed. The least busy bar in town on a Saturday evening, yet it was nearly impossible to get a drink. I stood at the bar for 10 minutes while the only bartender mixed cocktails for another customer. Eventually, a second bartender arrived and asked for the order of a fella who had just arrived at the bar. I told him that he should be serving me first, but was quickly informed that the other customer was the DJ. This was enough to clarify the situation. We left. Won't be returning.

Dukes Bar is a cozy spot where you can enjoy a perfect pint of Guinness. The friendly barman and the lively atmosphere make it a great place to catch up with friends over drinks. While the lack of entertainment on Saturday night may be a downside, the delicious cocktails make up for it. Additionally, visitors praise the stunning food, attentive staff, and charming decor as reasons to recommend this bar to others.
I only dropped into Dukes Bar for a quick pint before getting train home. The 5 star rating is for the Guinness. Never have I tasted a pint of stout so good as that one. Half a dozen punters sitting at bar when I visited , mostly discussing the football. Barman seemed a friendly sort of fella and thanked me on my way out.
