Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Portstewart

"A museum explaining the political conflict that has shaped the city and the country: a must for those unfamiliar with Northern Ireland's war-torn past."

"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..."

"One of the things you must do is visit the Museum of Free Derry, built in 2007. It recounts the captivating story and critical events of the years 1968 – 1972. Having opened in 2007, it gives visitors a chance to learn about Derry’s civil rights movement, the Battle of the Bogside, Internment, Bloody Sunday, and Operation Motorman."

"The Museum of Free Derry opened in 2007 in order to tell the story of what happened in our city during the period 1968 – 1972, and is popularly known as ‘Free Derry.' The museum includes exhibits that look at the civil rights era, the Battle of the Bogside, Internment, Bloody Sunday, and Operation Motorman."

"Just off Rossville St, this excellent museum chronicles the history of the Bogside, the Civil Rights Movement and the events of Bloody Sunday through photographs, newspaper reports, film clips, interactive..."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"A handful of craft shops sell Derry crystal, handwoven cloth, ceramics, jewellery and other local craft items in this renovated courtyard. One of the best is Derry Designer Makers, a collective of 15 artists and..."
