Although there was nothing especially wrong with the place, it reminded me of every chain restaurant back in the US. The decor, the bar, the menu...everything. Nothing was authentic. We have traveled the entire northern coast and stayed, eaten in and visited a number of places, big and small. This is the first time that we left and were not excited that we had been there. If you are like us and want to feel you are truly enjoying Northern Ireland, I suggest a different place to eat and drink. Just my opinion.

Walk into Granny Annies in Derry and I will promise that you will be astounded by the unique décor…read more Whole rooms, for example, a sitting room with armchairs, fully laden table, television etc etc......nothing outstanding you say. Well, all of this hanging upside down from the ceiling. Siting there, sober, I wondered what this would look like after a few Guinness. The mind boggles. The staff in here are the friendliest, most happy people, I have ever met. Taking into account our age and they were youngsters, That didn't stop them chatting about their weekends and their aspirations for their future. Great bunch of guys and gals. Service was fast, even with the traditional length of time serving that perfect pint of Guinness. The lunchtime food that we partook of was delicious and plentiful. We noticed that in the evenings there was live music. Would loved to have heard that but......remembering our ages. I am sure, had we turned up we would have been welcomed. A fantastic restaurant and bar. Fantastic staff and good food. Thank you, one and all, for making our stay in Derry perfect. See you again.

On of my favorite bars in all of Ireland! Its right at the Free Derry Corner. Anyone into the…read moreplight for Irish freedom will know this corner has a HUGE signifigance! Take a walk down the streets and you will see the wonderful murials the locals have painted. This is an IRISH part of town...Brits not welcome. The bars patrons are very friendly and will play a game of snooker with ya for sure! Great selection of whiskeys and beers. No food and there were kids in there (as most Irish pubs do), but just early...say before 7. Stop in and have a few if your ever up in N.E. Ireland! Oh, and the town is DERRY, not Londonderry and the Brits would prefer... Slainte!

I'm getting to this review later than I'd hoped, but better late than never! My husband and I were…read morevisiting Ireland from New York last year and made a stop in Derry as we were exploring the north. As we explored the city and its rich and rocky history, we decided to visit the Bogside neighborhood and boy are we glad we walked into the Bogside Inn! The owner, Shane (sp?) and a good group of his friends occupied the stools and tables while the soccer match and horse races were on. They were so friendly and welcoming to us as we sipped on some delicious pints of Guinness (and some Jameson, too!). Most everyone in the bar took the time to come over and chat with us, ask us about our holiday in Ireland and tell us about Derry. They were a fun, cheery, and boisterous bunch! This was definitely one of our best nights in Ireland. If you're visiting Derry, Bogside Inn is a must!

5 stars for the Irish music…read more The whiskeys they poured at Peadar O'Donnels were probably the smallest I've had in the UK, and I had plenty of whiskeys during me 3+ weeks traveling there. The sign on the wall, if it was to be believed, made it seem like they were pouring between 18-20ml. Every other bar I had been to either used a 25ml measuring cup or the rare 35ml measuring cup (THE CEILIDH PLACE in Ullapool stands out in my mind as giving out 35ml), but this guy just poured from the bottle into the glass, and indeed it did seem a very wee dram. :) My wife got a beer though, and that was of a normal size. :) If you don't care about the music, I am sure there are plenty of other bars in Derry that can give you a good wee drink.
