Discover the Rich History and Great Craic at The River Inn Derry

The River Inn, established in 1684, is Derry's oldest sited bar with a rich history that dates back to before the siege. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the city's vibrant culture and warm hospitality. The bar has been run by the Doherty family for over 40 years and offers a friendly atmosphere, great food, and live entertainment. The original cellars have been converted into the Cellar bar, and the family has recently extended the bar into the old palace cinema next door. The new complex of bars includes The Snug, Silver St, and The Cafe bar. The fresh and creative food menu is available seven days a week, and there's regular live entertainment at night.

While you're in the area, be sure to check out some of the nearby attractions, including the historic walls of Derry, the Tower Museum, and the Guildhall.
