We were still in quite a food coma from the lunch we had when we walked across the Peace Bridge to the Walled City Brewery, where we were supposed to have dinner. Despite how full we were, we still had a wonderful time at the taproom of the small gastropub during our stay in Derry/Londonderry. We started with drinks, with myself ordering a Pint of Wit and Kicks Derry Lager; both were very good and refreshing, allowing us to enjoy some fried calamari and house-smoked Grant's Pork Belly. The latter came with black-eyed peas, smoked bacon, and braised greens. Both dishes were incredibly satisfying on the palate, with the calamari cooked to perfection and served with some lovely marinara sauce to dip. The pork belly was savory and satisfying that we enjoyed to the last bite with the greens and black-eyed peas. Both dishes, I'll add, were gluten-free, so both my wife, who has celiac disease and I could enjoy with glutinous glee. The beers were clean and crisp, definitely satisfying the palate as we ate our food. Indeed, the brewery was a nice change of pace from the other pubs that serve primarily Guinness and other nationally known beers. With excellent vibes and tasty beverages, the Walled City was everything we were seeking in a restaurant and bar, good drinks and food, which had we not been as full, we would have ordered more items for sure. Whenever we return to Derry, I'm sure we will make our way back to the brewery to try more of the local bar fare.

Lavender mojito (Running for the Hills)

Such a great place to go for dinner! Make sure to call ahead and make a reservation as they are pretty popular and therefore busy. My waitress was so friendly and very helpful in answering all of my questions. I have a dairy and gluten allergy and when I informed the hostess, she went back to check with the chefs and brought me a menu that was completely marked with what could and couldn't be made gluten & dairy free. So awesome that the chefs took the time to do that and that this restaurant is serious about food allergies! On to the food and drinks: I ordered 3 starters for my meal (only £10). -Ribs: 4 stars. Good and standard ribs. -Pork cakes: 5 stars. Absolutely delicious flavor pairings with the cakes and the salad. -Hummus and gluten free bread: 5 stars. Fantastic gluten free bread, tasty hummus, and nice salad toppings. -Running for the Hills Cocktail (lavender mojito): 5 stars. AMAZINGGG!!! I haven't had a mojito yet in Ireland and it was absolutely delightful. The lavender was just the right amount and the purple hue in the drink was so pretty. -S'mores dessert: 5 stars, although if you are not gluten free or dairy free/ vegan this is not what you traditionally think of as a brownie and marshmallow dessert. Service: 5 stars. Waitress was so helpful in offering recommendations with food and drinks!

Olives and charred peppers

This is a fantastic restaurant and brewery. We were able to walk here from our hotel so that was a bonus. Being from the US we are not use to brewery's having other options BUT this had place had so much more - which was awesome for me as I am not a big beer fan. I let our wait person recommend local ciders and my hubby followed recommendations for their beers. Here is what makes the recommendations so good - the waitress didn't just recommend her favorites but asked about out preferences and then offered suggestions. We had multiple small plates that we shared. Everything was exceptional and the presentation beautiful. By sharing so many small plates we had plenty of room for dessert and it didn't disappoint. My only complaint is that they insist on reservations. So we made one as we were walking to their location. Really shocked to find one other couple in the bar area and no one else. I probably would have been more bent except that the entire bar and dining area filled up when we were half way through our meal. The dining area when full got a bit loud - however I never felt like I was having to yell. Overall I would go again food, drinks and service all above average - one of our favorite spots on our holiday.

Beer menu - Jan 2019

They have more than beer here, they have a great menu of good choices of food. The appetizers are plentiful and shareable including some unique dips, seasonal soup served with soda bread. The risotto we had was fantastic. The pulled pork sandwich wasn't as good as Southern U.S. but it was pretty good. The service is very welcoming and friendly. They serve their beers in tasting flights of 3 or 1/2 pints too if you want to try several. Definitely worth locating just on the other side of the pedestrian peace bridge away from the historical walled section of town.

Excellent Cider
Shay M.

Great little spot albeit hard to find. Tucked away in Ebrington we found street parking and then walked inside the gates. Ebrington is an old naval facility and much of the gates are still up, so getting inside is a little difficult if you're not coming from the peace bridge. We ordered a couple beer samplers and a Tempted Cider, both were excellent. For food we ordered the burger, pig pulled sandwich and Pintxo (aka small snacks) of ribs, pita and soup. The food was excellent but the burger a bit sweet (they use tomato jam), would recommend the pig if you're looking for a more savory flavor. Service was good, not great but felt like they're still finding their groove. Our waitress was very kind and definitely trying. It wasn't worth a negative star because we enjoyed the place so much but worth noting you shouldn't come here if you're in a rush. We had a great time at the this small little spot and would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a unique dining experience in Londonderry.

Pale Ale...

Great pints, awesome microbrews and lovely staff. I'm heartened Derry is blossoming because of Good Friday Agreement and peace. Businesses like this make my heart sing. (And thank god they found my mobile phone)

Burger, fries and vegetable of the day

Everything about this restaurant was superb...service, decor, food, beet. I can't say enough good things, and we left completely stuffed. We had the potato & onion soup, burger, and salted caramel chocolate cake. Super YUM!

Amazing beers, food and service. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The business prides itself on its craft beers, they even brew there own beer on site.

Squid tacos and burger. Both very good!

If you're used to breweries this does not have the brewery "vibe". It requires reservations and has place settings at tables.

Make sure a group isn't dining or else the kitchen will be closed for an undetermined amount of time.
