Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars 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..."

"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."

"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. With its cosy atmosphere, friendly staff, and great beer menu, it is a great place to wile away an afternoon. It’s also a great place to hear local live music."

"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."

"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"

"Granny Annie's is a popular local pub with a welcoming attitude to locals and visitors alike. Party vibes are on every night, beer flows endlessly and live bands make frequent appearances. The interior is tastefully crafted, and table service is attentive."

"SPEND £10.00 GET 1 FREE MILKSHAKE, SPEND £20.00 GET 2 FREE MILKSHAKES & SO ON... We've all been to Rockets after a tipple or two on Waterloo Street. The city centre takeaway loved for the famous Derry chicken box, Mexican beefs, milkshakes & more of your fast food favourites."

"Located in a beautifully converted 19th-century boathouse on Derry’s Queens Quay overlooking the River Foyle, gastropub Quaywest serves an eclectic European fusion menu complemented by fine wines, craft beer and refreshing cocktails. As a Taste of Ulster accredited restaurant, Quaywest’s cuisine is crafted from locally sourced produce with standout dishes that include lamb shank with champ, roast vegetables and a red wine and pepper jus, as well as pan-fried seabass with crushed potatoes, smoked bacon and leek veloute. Don’t leave without trying one of the delicious cocktails such as the Quaywest Cooler – an intoxicating mix of vodka, peach schnapps, midori, Malibu, cranberry juice and orange juice."

"Quaywest is a trendy, atmospheric wine bar and restaurant with a delicious international menu and very reasonable prices. Housed inside a 19th century building, the establishment enjoys a unique atmosphere and serves primarily British/European fare."

"A vibrant busy gastro pub under 5 minutes walk from the Station B&B (and all downhill!) Mon-Thur they offer up to 40% off, making it well worth the trip."

"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..."
