One reviewer very accurately described it as a "cattle mart". Many times I've had drinks splashed on me in the overpacked lounge floor where the music is usually amplified to the point of making it impossible to chat to whoever you're along with. I see even in their Christmas brochure, which came through my door on Friday, a pic of a guy with drink spilled down his shirt!! I never leave reviews, however this review was prompted based on the terrible experience my 18 year old niece had there recently.. She had come up from Inishown at Halloween to go to Voodoo club with a friend. After queuing for the best part of an hour in a queue that had zero crowd control and potential for people being trampled, when they got to the front of the queue some guy shouted that a girl had been sick, at which point a female bouncer with dark blond hair reached for my niece and yanked her out of the queue. Her friend politely tried to reason with the bouncer that she pulled the wrong person out at which point a male door person pushed him into the club and then refused to let him back out. My niece was left standing by herself crying in the street until a family member went into town to take her home. Baring in mind that just the week previously, a young girl had been viciously assaulted just up the street from Voodoo... It seems their policy for someone being sick is to chuck them into the street. In this case it was the wrong person that was dragged out of the queue. The amount of money and effort my niece spent getting her Halloween outfit and coming up to Letterkenny to have that type of experience disgusts me. I reached out to Voodoo via their Facebook page. No apology was offered. No acknowledgment that the staff in question would be addressed. Nothing. I suggest a change of name for the club from Voodoo to 'Bad Vibe', because that's all you'll get on a night out at this place!

We were…read morelucky to land a table at Blackbird around 5:15 pm on a Friday, and from the moment we walked in, the place was alive. Every table was full, the bar was packed, and the room hummed with that unmistakable end-of-the-workweek joy. The staff were clearly in motion nonstop, yet unfailingly warm, friendly, and welcoming. It felt like locals spilling in after work to celebrate the start of the weekend--and we were happy to be swept up in it. The décor is traditional and inviting, and we felt instantly at home in the buzz. The vegetarian and vegan options are genuinely excellent. I had a perfectly crafted Old Fashioned; my companion enjoyed a Harp lager. Dinner was the Bombay Veggie Burger and the beet salad (substantial enough to be a main on its own), both beautifully done. The roasted and braised root vegetables were cooked to perfection--so tender they melted in my mouth. Live music rounded out the evening, with a talented musician performing thoughtfully arranged songs across decades. Every selection was a joy. If he had a CD of his covers, I would have bought it on the spot. A lively, welcoming pub with outstanding food, music, and atmosphere. Blackbird made our Friday night in Derry truly memorable.

Garlic bread is incredible though the "aioli" tasted like it was just mayo but the bread didn't need it at all. Goujons were good but the bbq sauce didn't taste bbq at all. The pepper sauce was nice though. Star here was the rotisserie chicken: fall off the bone and cooked perfectly. Again though, sauce was mid. Nothing on this menu needs a sauce (except Goujons) but they all come with them! Dishes def stand alone. All that said, the device made the meal!

I walked up the hill and there it was. Lot of people standing outside on the patio but no seats. I went in to the small bar on the lower level and a very friendly male bartender waited on me. I wandered upstairs to the second level where it was a huge space and had plenty of big screen TVs for the golf. I found the place to be very comfortable and great views of the water. The young guy at the second level bar was nice but a bit of an airhead (the drink was £11 and I handed him £20, he stood waiting for more money and ummmmmmm didn't I give you a 20? He seemed clueless about the money) We had a laugh but prob a good idea to know what the local money looks like! The top level of this place was an amazing view but it was Sunday afternoon and the bar was not open. Has more of a night feel. It's a fantastic building and I enjoyed my visit.

If cheesy dance mixed with country music is your thing, this is the place to go in Letterkenny…read more When I was there, the airconditioner was leaking profusely onto customers at a 2 metre stretch of the bar. There was no difficulty getting served at this point, because drunk as most of the customers were (lot of hens and stags): cold, re-condensed sweat dripping from the ceiling seems to be an effective deterrent. A person with an umbrella, or waterproofs could enjoy uninterrupted bar service. Rated 2 stars in the sense that it's 'So Bad It's Good', there is undoubtedly an atmosphere, but what it contains, and whether it can support life longer-term, is for the scientists to decide.

John the proprietor is really knowledgeable about his wines and travels to source each one himself, in fact he gets such good wine that my folks will only buy their Christmas cases from him!! The menu hasn't changed in years which is my only complaint, I would like to see one or two new dishes, that said, what is served here is good quality, well made and delicious food. Homemade bread is presented with starters and the deserts are all homemade too. If you are in the area I highly recommend booking in the Bistro for a meal and I doubt you will be disappointed with this cosy, welcoming restaurant. And if requested, John will whip up a cocktail for you if he has the ingredients! I chanced my arm and asked for an espresso martini (me and my notions!) and he was only too happy to oblige, and it was perfect!
