We knew about the Walled City Brewery before visiting Derry, but what we didn't know was that they…read morehave very limited hours. During our stay, Monday - Thursday they are only open for a small window between 5-8:30pm. We decided not to go the brewery tour, so I can't comment on if it is worthwhile, but I think I would try doing it next time if we ever were to go back to Derry.  The brewery has a full restaurant which has fantastic reviews and was also recommended by our friend who has gone before. We weren't hungry yet for dinner, so we opted to just visit the Taproom. The Taproom is also very cool and has a great vibe with interesting artwork. What we really liked about this brewery was it felt like a craft brewery and offered a lot of variety in their beers. It was the first place that we found that offered a sour beer, they had a wit beer, and they even had a hard seltzer (which honestly wasn't very good unless you like gin drinks). We enjoyed a few drinks and the music for a hour or so before deciding on dinner.

4.5 stars for lunch w/ brew…read more I got the Cauliflower Steak at 12€ and a taster set of 3 brews (the Boom, Punt Purse, and the IPA 2.3%). The Cauliflower Steak was absolutely delicious with some fantastic flavors to it, and thankfully it was NOT greasy (unlike some other places I ordered cauliflower in the UK). I would highly recommend this dish. As for my taster set, the Punt Purse and 2.3% IPA were both fine, but it was "the Boom" that stole the show in my opinion....I should've just gotten a pint of that. The only negative was our server, who didn't seem into his job at all. The attention he gave us was all quite perfunctory....maybe he was just having an off day because he had something serious on his mind that day, but if not, he might consider looking for a position other than a server (since he clearly didn't seem to be into it).

We came for the tour and left with a new appreciation for how whiskey is made! Bushmills has been…read morearound since before the Pilgrims and their slogan "We're not the best because we're the oldest, we're the oldest because we're the best" definitely shows. Tours are the main attraction here and take a little over an hour. You're treated to a walk around the grounds, through the production buildings, storehouses and then get a taste of something that's been around as long as my car! (the 12 and 14 year whiskeys were great!) It's super informal and the tour guide was very nice. The tasting room was lovely and the gift shop had some great options including some whiskeys that were born in the 1900s! The only bummer is that there's no restaurant here, so plan accordingly. Luckily there are plenty of options in the area. Come out here for the Giants Causeway and drive in for the Bushmill! You'll be happy you did.

We only stopped here for a bathroom break so no time for a tour of the actual distillery.

Small-ish tasting room and about 10 or so beers in their repertoire all of which are served and intended to be drank at room temperature.
