"In the old centre of Derry a street and square from the 18th and 19th centuries have rediscovered their old-time charm. This small quarter deserves a wander for its artisan craft shops, cafes and restaurants. There are quaint Georgian houses, staircases, gas lamps and wrought-iron footbridges, and a host of businesses within a couple of minutes on foot."
"Describing itself as the “hidden jewel in Derry’s crown”, the Craft Village is located in the heart of Derry City Centre. It is the first of our top things to do in the city. It is a reconstruction of an 18th-century street and 19th-century square and is lined with craft shops, balconied apartments, and coffee shops to stop and refuel."

"This traditional Derry watering hole has been a local favourite since 1922 and still maintains its original design and interior to some extent. Located on the lively Strand road in the heart of the city, The Grand Central Bar while it may not seem too grand in size, it surely has a larger-than-life personality, with its cosy atmosphere, friendly staff, great food and excellent beer menu, it is a relaxing place to spend an afternoon. The Grand Central Bar is also known for its infamous quiz nights and live local music with acts from far and wide."
"Grand Central bar is a very old bar, in fact this bar is 90 years old, which is exactly what makes it so special. The bar is a small one, with many of its original features still present. Offering a large selection of beers & hosting events such as live music sessions & pub quizzes, we hope this place is around for another 90 years!"
"Established in 1922 and still retaining much of its original character, the Grand Central Bar was reinvented in recent years as a thriving city centre attraction.
