A big thank you to the staff at this restaurant in Derry for brightening up our rainy afternoon. They were all very friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and even recommended some great places to visit and stay. And they were Liverpool FC fans too! The toasties and chips we had were delicious and we had no complaints except for having to leave. Thanks again and we hope to visit again soon!

We dropped in for a drink after dinner at the Maldron. We were just wandering around the walled town and saw this unassuming doorway. Popped in on a quiet Monday night. Only a few people, but there was one old gent at the corner of the bar, and we had a lovely hour-long conversation with him. He was on his last drink of the night, a cinnamon thingie. He told us he did not live in old-town, but a cab would take him home. If you are a tourist, this is the local place you seek. Friendly publican, warm environment, nice locals.

We stopped for a drink after dinner at the Maldron. We were walking through the walled city and I saw this door without pretensions. We got into a quiet Monday night. Only a few people, but there was an old knight at the corner of the bar, and we had a lovely time of long conversation with him. He was in his last cup of the night, a cinnamon thingie. He told us they don't live in the old town of the city, but a cab took him home. If you're a tourist, this is the place you're looking for. Friendly, warm, they publish nice locals.
