Food was nice and the cocktails were okay but lacking a kick, the atmosphere was buzzing and staff were really nice and helpful.

Brilliant food and atmosphere ?

Really enjoyed it here - the band were excellent with a great range of music. Service was excellent at the bar and it's a fun place for a night out. Well worth a visit.

About ten minutes before we walked in the door of this place we'd never heard of it. We were in the Tower museum to see Derry Girls, the history of Derry from 10,000 years ago and an Armada exhibition on a self guided tour. We had just left a self guided tour of the Guildhall where we had the pleasure of seeing John Hume's Nobel prize medal. It struck me that I knew and had met two Nobel laureates; Hume I'd met quite a few times over the years and Seamus Heaney too, our Nobel poet. You think of Nobel winners as remote, removed, far away folks - only in Ireland would you find one (as I did) arguing about luggage weight over-charging with a Ryanair check-in worker. Anyway back to our tours; it was a Sunday mid morning and we were talking to staff about not having lunch plans and they suggested here. They gave us directions. There was live music when we went in and the place was packed. Not a seat to be had. The barman suggested if someone left to grab the seat. I spied a couple eating lunch in a seated area that would easily hold four so I asked if they minded if we joined them and being Derry folk they were delighted with our company. So my wife plumped for a salmon lunch with mash and vegetables (£16.5) and I had the red Thai vegetable curry with rice a mini Nan bread and as I had a side choice it was tobacco onions (£13). All the food was very good and good VFM. It was real cosy warm the staff were so friendly and we got on like a house on fire with our new friends. We had two main meals with one side dish. We ordered two cappuccinos we bought drinks to say thank you to our new friends (4 drinks with one non alcohol) all in all including a tip I still had change out of £50.

Usually pop in for a pint if I have a long wait for a bus. Staff are always lovely and have excellent banter!! First time I’ve actually ordered food and I’m glad I did, the Steak ciabatta was mouth-wateringly delicious!! Garlic potato’s as a side went perfectly!! Will definitely be eating here again!!

Called into this bar for lunch and drinks with 7 people ( on a Sat). Have been many times before and we always like to return. John greeted us and got us a large table and sorted us out with lunch quickly which was lovely and helped one of our party who had special dietary requirements. We had good banter with John and we stayed most of the afternoon as there was live music from 3.30. All the staff were very friendly and we’ll definitely return again soon. Thanks John
