Best Nightlife in Portstewart

"One of the most recent additions to Derry’s dining scene, Walled City Brewery – a brewery and restaurant in one and the first of its kind in Northern Ireland – opened its doors in May 2015 with veteran brewer James Huey and his wife Louise at the helm. Small pinxho-style eats, such as mini Thai pork cakes or Donegal smoked salmon blinis are served alongside bigger dishes like house-smoked, beer-braised pulled pork with gherkin and slaw in a brioche bun. Naturally, Walled City’s craft brews make the perfect accompaniment to its eclectic eats – try the flagship pale ale Boom or its refreshing pilsner, Kicks."

"It could be tempting (if not particularly healthy) to spend an entire day hopping between the city’s many pubs, but why not learn something while you’re at it?. Based in Ebrington Square, the Walled City Brewery offers brewing masterclasses where you can learn (and drink) your way through the 9,000-year history of beer. Those who indulge in the tour will get to taste 10 different beers during a one-and-a-half-hour masterclass, as well as dine in the award-winning restaurant."

"Housed in the former army barracks on Ebrington Sq, Walled City Brewery is a craft brewery and restaurant run by master brewer and Derry local James Huey. As well as having 10 craft beers on tap, Walled City..."

"Popular with backpackers, Peadar O’Donnell’s provides good old fashioned “craic” and live music every night (although shows often start late, and sometimes give way to live broadcasts of football matches). It's a proper traditional Irish bar serving beer at affordable prices."

"Done up as a typical Irish pub and grocery (with shelves of household items, shopkeeper's scales on the counter and a museum's-worth of old bric-a-brac), Peadar's has rowdy traditional-music sessions every night..."

"01/06/2021: Fantastic meal, great choice of menu and at a reasonable price for such high quality cuisine. Service was professional yet talkative and engaging. Service was swift and efficient."

"Located in the heart of the city mid-way between two of Derry’s most famous theatres, Badger’s is the perfect place to suit all tastes. A fine polished-brass and stained-glass Victorian pub with wood-panelled nooks and crannies, and an outdoor terrace, Badgers offers a quiet haven on Orchard Street in the City Centre. No matter what time of day you pop into Badgers bar, there always seems to be a few locals propping up the bar, which helps keep the atmosphere authentic."

"Widely known as Northern Ireland’s premier jazz club, Bennigans Bar is a young and vibrant musician-owned venue bar with a broad range of world-class entertainment on every night. See its popular Saturday afternoon jazz session with local music legend Gay McIntyre and the John Leighton Trio every week at 5.30pm (admission £5). Often described as a cultural gem of the city, the site has a fantastic history and played its part in the mass emigration of the Irish to America in the late 1800s."

"Perhaps surprisingly little-known, Bennigans Bar and Jazz Club is itself owned by a musician.. Some shows (especially those on Saturday nights) are very popular and require pre-booking. Bennigans is also one of the select few places serving complimentary tapas along with drinks."

"Brickwork is one of those restaurants that maintain your interest for return visits because the menu is so vast. It stretches from the specialised Asian cuisine, combining it with a fresh, local taste. The staff make what is already a wonderful restaurant and create an atmosphere and standard that makes it one of the best places to eat in Derry."

"A smart purpose-built hotel, Da Vinci’s is close to the banks of the River Foyle, 15-minutes’ walk north of the city centre. The 64 bedrooms offer more space than many hotels in the heart of town and provide complimentary newspapers and bespoke toiletries, while the Morrisons Suite has a super king bed and vanity area. The wood-panelled Da Vinci’s Bar opened in 1986 and was one of the city’s Famous Five top bars, all named after painters."

"The hotel is a bit dated, but the beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean. A certain distance from the city center, suitable for self-driving, convenient parking. There is a Chinese restaurant by the seaside of the cathedral when driving fast. The price is not cheap, but it tastes good. There are Chinese waiters who can help with ordering.""Not bad～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～"

There’s also live music every Saturday night from 8pm."

"The lady at the front desk is very patient. My English is not very good. I blame Bei Ai’s dialect for being too heavy. The cards are called keizi. The breakfast in the hotel is great, the breakfast of absolute conscience is much better than in the country, my sister offers you not a cup of coffee, but a pot"

"FREE TEA/AMERICANO WITH EVERY WRAP OR PANINI EVERYDAY WITH YOUR CARD. You will find the Walled Garden Cafe hidden in the beautiful St Columbs Park, next to St Columbs Park House. The ultimate spot for a relaxing coffee away from the hustle & bustle of the city centre."

"At number 45 Great James Street, a bright blue bike outside, quirky interior inside & passion for reducing plastic waste, this independent has stolen our hearts. Design your own sandwich from their deli & wash it down with their delicious 100% Arabica coffee."

"Nonna's was founded by two brothers & their love for real Italian pizza. With two venues in the city, you can enjoy a range of Italian inspired pizza's from the classic wood fired oven . & not only that, they also offer a range of delicious sides, nibbles & antipasti at both venues (Spencer Rd & Shipquay St)."

"Opened in 1995 by husband and wife team Claudio and Maureen Antonucci, La Sosta has been delighting local diners with its delicious Italian cuisine for over two decades. Inspired by the culinary traditions of Claudio’s native Abruzzo with a distinctly modern twist, La Sosta’s menu features standout dishes like the risotto starter with mascarpone and red cabbage and the seabream main with roasted fennel, olives, cockles and thyme. With indulgent treats like traditional homemade tiramisu and hot chocolate pudding with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce to finish, diners with a sweet tooth will want to save room for dessert."

"A stalwart of Derry’s eating out scene for two decades, La Sosta on Carlisle Road holds pride of place as the city’s original Italian restaurant. With an entrance hidden down an alleyway on Carlisle Road, once inside diners are treated to a sweeping panorama of the River Foyle. The decor inside the restaurant makes it feel like the kitchen of an Italian farmhouse, complete with wooden timber beams running across the ceiling and an oak sideboard for wine storage."

"22/02/2021: We ordered from Spaghetti Junction at the weekend. It did not disappoint.We ordered a spicy pizza I can not remember thr name...It was Delicious. We also ordered spaghetti and garlic bread."

"The Free Derry Corner is one of the most popular landmarks in the city. It is based at the foot of the famous Bogside community. It is a freestanding wall that commemorates ‘Free Derry’, the self-proclaimed nationalist independence area during 1968 – 1972 and often celebrates modern-day resistance movements."

"The Free Derry Corner, where the gable end of a house painted with the famous slogan 'You are Now Entering Free Derry' still stands, is all that remains of a row of terraced houses in the old Bogside district."

"In 1774 the bishop of Derry (fourth earl of Bristol, Frederick Augustus Hervey), built a palatial home amid a 160-hectare demesne. The house burnt down in 1851, was rebuilt in 1876, and abandoned after WWII. The ruins now stand forlornly on a cliff top, with beautiful landscaped gardens below.The colonnaded, dome-capped Mussenden Temple, built by the bishop for his library (some say his mistress), is a Game of Thrones icon.Enter via the coast road's Lion's Gate or Bishop's Gate."
