This is a proper Irish pub, full of mature locals watching a soccer match, playing some type of table game and generally enjoying each others' company. There is bar seating for about 10 and about a dozen tables in the main bar area, with a side room with a small bar and an additional dozen tables. The locals were friendly. The bartender was professional. The beer was tasty. The prices were very reasonable. What more could you ask. If you find yourself in Derry and want a quiet, authentic local bar, you could do no better than Abercorn Bar. Highly recommend.

Being in town for our honeymoon, and myself being originally from Boston in the States, I figured this would be a fun stop. Unfortunately, this wasn't. While the greeter did seat us without any wait (it was packed inside), in the 20 minutes we were at the table, not one server came to take our drink order -- as we were told was supposed to happen. Given how packed the bar was and no one who seemed to work there appeared not to notice us seated, we decided to move on to the next bar. It didn't make sense since other tables had been getting served around us, but not one server even acknowledged ours. On a honeymoon that appeared wouldn't have any duds for stops or experiences, this bar was the sole one.

We drove up from Newry to see Giant's Causeway and the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. While leaving…read morethe rope bridge, we were trying to figure out dinner and an employee there suggested going to the Carrick-a-Rede Bar and Restaurant. We drove into town and weren't sure we were in the right place because there was a different name on the outside and two doors. One led into the bar, which was full, and one led into the restaurant, which was empty. The guy at the bar - turns out he's the owner - invited us in and our family of six took up two of the six tables. It was cozy and there was a fire and we loved it. My son, who's 20, had his first Guinness there and so that's a fun memory. I got the cider, which was amazing. For dinner, we got the creamy seafood chowder, the beer battered cod, the southern fried chicken burger, the 10oz sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce, and ballintoy banger the ballintoy burger. The cod was as big as my son's head and so flaky and delicious. The sirloin with peppercorn sauce was my favorite meal of the entire trip. We also enjoyed the brownies and sticky toffee pudding, made by the owner's mom. It was amazing. This was one of our favorite meals of the trip and such a wonderful experience. If you're in the area, don't miss this place.

No pretension about it, just good properly made food by people who really care about what they do. The young lady serving us was mega friendly. We were four adults and three kids. Most of the adult meals were great value, pitched at about £8. I was the only steak sandwich order with the remaining adults having beef burgers with choices like bacon added. Oh, I had a delicious pint of Guinness too. This was one of the best steak meals I've had in the last few weeks and the others all agreed they enjoyed their meals too. The pepper sauce served with my steak was absolutely ace and I loved it. Top notch. I also went for a portion of onion rings as my wife had chosen garlic chips with her main so we could share. Once again, the tasty onion rings were ace too. Thick rounds of mild onion and a crisp batter. The steak was superb quality beef. I enjoyed the garlicky chips too. The kids had chicken nuggets and chips. All made from scratch in-house including the kids nuggets. That's the right way to do it. There was a moment of shock for me when I asked for Colman's mustard, which is the greatest mustard in the world and beef as good as this deserves Colman's, and I was told they didn't have it. As I was taking in the enormity of this shocking claim she re-appeared just moments later with a plastic pot of Colman's, so I shelved my plan to burgle a local supermarket and splurged a dollop on my plate. Another plus was when we ordered diet cokes we got the 330ml tins very well chilled. So many places now just pour from two litre bottles with no fizz left. One possible downside but not for us was that they don't sell desserts. We wouldn't hesitate to return.
