We were…read morelucky to land a table at Blackbird around 5:15 pm on a Friday, and from the moment we walked in, the place was alive. Every table was full, the bar was packed, and the room hummed with that unmistakable end-of-the-workweek joy. The staff were clearly in motion nonstop, yet unfailingly warm, friendly, and welcoming. It felt like locals spilling in after work to celebrate the start of the weekend--and we were happy to be swept up in it. The décor is traditional and inviting, and we felt instantly at home in the buzz. The vegetarian and vegan options are genuinely excellent. I had a perfectly crafted Old Fashioned; my companion enjoyed a Harp lager. Dinner was the Bombay Veggie Burger and the beet salad (substantial enough to be a main on its own), both beautifully done. The roasted and braised root vegetables were cooked to perfection--so tender they melted in my mouth. Live music rounded out the evening, with a talented musician performing thoughtfully arranged songs across decades. Every selection was a joy. If he had a CD of his covers, I would have bought it on the spot. A lively, welcoming pub with outstanding food, music, and atmosphere. Blackbird made our Friday night in Derry truly memorable.

Even tho, this place was outside the walls and the address was actually Derry we were charge in pounds instead of Euros.

We arrived a little early and were asked to wait while they prepared our table. We waited at some high tops next to the bar which were very clean and comfortable. The bar itself is very warmly lit and seems quietly intimate. Great place for a date though, in this case, we had our kids with us. Over all, the food and the service were excellent. The menu had a wide selection that would likely suit anyone's needs. We had a variety of food but I would say the stand out were the buffalo wings. As an American I can be fairly particular about my wings and I would put these up against most that I've had at home. Really, the only concern that I had was that about a half hour into dinner a group of rowdy girls were seated next to us. They were obviously out for a night on the town and I don't know that I would have sat them next to a family with small children... But again, I'm not sure that it could've been avoided. Overall one of the best dining experiences we had while in Northern Ireland and I would highly recommend it to anybody. As we visit often we will definitely be back!

5 stars for the Irish music…read more The whiskeys they poured at Peadar O'Donnels were probably the smallest I've had in the UK, and I had plenty of whiskeys during me 3+ weeks traveling there. The sign on the wall, if it was to be believed, made it seem like they were pouring between 18-20ml. Every other bar I had been to either used a 25ml measuring cup or the rare 35ml measuring cup (THE CEILIDH PLACE in Ullapool stands out in my mind as giving out 35ml), but this guy just poured from the bottle into the glass, and indeed it did seem a very wee dram. :) My wife got a beer though, and that was of a normal size. :) If you don't care about the music, I am sure there are plenty of other bars in Derry that can give you a good wee drink.

Bold Flavors & Lively Atmosphere at The Exchange - Derry, Ireland/UK…read more **If you love spicy food, you'll be thrilled. If not, ask your server for a gentler option... the kitchen doesn't hold back!!!** We had a fantastic dinner at The Exchange. The starters; Mediterranean olives, bruschetta, and garlic breads, were fresh and flavorful. For mains, the Exchange Burger and chilli fillet steak in pitta bread brought serious heat. Desserts were indulgent: the double chocolate brownie was rich and satisfying, and the sticky toffee pudding had a perfect melt-in-your-mouth finish. Heads-up: The place gets lively and a bit loud in the evenings, so if you're after a quiet meal, consider dining earlier. Otherwise, it's a vibrant spot with bold flavors and great service.

We dined in the Boathouse, Disney Springs, Orlando two weeks ago but this wonderful place beats it…read morehands down by a very long way in terms of the charming service, and, very importantly, the quality and flavour of the food on our plates. Only the climate and setting were better in dismal Disney. This place was buzzing on a Monday night - just as busy as the Boathouse was on a Saturday night - oh enough about bloody awful money - grabbing Disney. I had a fillet steak with tobacco onions, champ & pepper sauce (£15.75). I asked for the steak medium cooked but it was nearer to rare and that didn't bother me a jot. The flavour of the steak was wonderful. The champ could have been warmer, the tobacco onions were just perfection and the pepper sauce moreish. My wife opted for chicken fajitas (£12.75) - the portion was generous and she said the all important 'smokey' sauce was delicious. There were three flour tortillas together with mini pots of guacamole and sour cream. The mashed guacamole was slightly underripe, which we prefer, the only suggestion here is when using underripe avocado add a very generous amount of fresh lime juice. I had a good cappuccino (£2.5) and my wife a generous glass of Sauvignon blanc (£6.15). The home-made desserts really looked inviting, but I'm afraid whilst the spirit was more than willing the flesh simply couldn't cope. In short bloody good place.
