Pubs in Derry
County Derry (Bed and Breakfasts Derry, Ireland) is one of the longest continuously inhabited places in Ireland. The earliest historical references date to the sixth century A.D. The name Derry (Self Catering, Derry, Ireland) derives from the old Irish word Daire meaning an oak grove. Derry (Accommodation, Derry, Ireland) is an old, beautiful city, set in a surrounding landscape of unparalleled natural beauty and diversity.
Becketts is a well-known pub venue in the centre of Derry city - great place to stop off for a drink in between the shops or to experience the best of Derrys lively nightlife! Another of Derry’s best known landmark pubs ‘The Carraig‘ takes its name from the Gaelic Irish word of a prominent stone or rock, a number of which can still be seen around the area dating back to the days before the riverside land was reclaimed from The Foyle. Under their former name - The Railway Bar - the premises was a Mecca for workers at Derry’s port, which nowadays operates from a purpose-built site upstream on the Foyle. The ground floor bar now stands as a fine testament of the old Victorian pub style - right down to its beveled mirrors and stained glass. And, thanks to the bar’s proximity to the city’s Magee University and a full programme of night time entertainment, it’s not unusual to see the house full signs outside! Glenshane Pass is one of Ireland’s most famous pubs, and also the north’s highest. Thanks in part to its unique location atop the Glenshane Pass, this famous Irish mountain pub enjoys a truly international clientele; they extend from farmers to journalists and sports people to international travelers! Rugby, Gaelic football, hockey and university clubs all visit here regularly.
Superb restaurants, pubs of character and of course the irresistible tumbling melodies of traditional Irish music spilling onto the streets. Quite simply Derry (Hotels, Derry, Ireland) is Amazing!
