Very nice place and spacious. I can tell its a local place but they didn't make us feel like outsiders. Food was very good and the drink was better. Nice place to grab a bite before heading across the river to see the city walls.

Dicey's, for the visitor from out of town, is a funny old place. On one hand, it has a very…read morefamiliar feel to it - it's your archetypal indie bar with a loud jukebox, average beer and z-shaped scruffy teens slumped in booths waiting to get drunk enough to get off with people. Of course, there's an older crowd who have either graduated to other pubs but go back for nostalgic reasons (or to get off with 18 year olds no doubt). Essentially, Dicey's is the rock haunt. On the other hand, its far more than a scruffy pub. Because, somehow (and I can't work this out at all, schematically), you can walk up some steps and find yourself in a cavernous club that plays all the indie and rock classic, dragging in people from far and wide. The atmosphere is pretty rough and ready, but not really threatening in any way. There's acoustic nights and gigs, which should flick the switches of anyone finding themselves in their with a penchant for music. As it's an indie haunt, fully expect people over the age of 25 to tell you 'it's not as good as it used to be'.

We had finished dinner during our first night in Derry when we embarked on the first of a few pub…read morestops located on Waterloo Street just outside of the City Walls. Tracys Bar was that first pub that we frequented on the corner of Waterloo Place and Waterloo Street -- located at the bottom of a steep hill that begins the latter. The stay was certainly a good one as we went into the traditional pub and enjoyed some drinks. While we only stayed for one drink, we enjoyed ourselves in one of the booths by the front door with the bar right across from us. Sipping on a pour of The Quiet Man Irish Whiskey, I felt very at ease and relaxed and could have probably stayed for a little longer, but there were other pubs we wanted to check out. We will definitely return when we are back in Derry.

Probably shouldn't have ordered a Guinness at that time; likely my fault in retrospect. There was definitely a lot of good craic here, and it looks like everyone was having a grand time. I just had the one before I left because there was nowhere to sit. Suppose that's a sign that the place is doing something right!

Hubby & I split a platter, no longer on the menu, but offering a variety of Irish staple seafood & meats- everything was absolutely delicious- well seasoned, a great taste of Ireland mashed together Cocktails, we opted for the traditional Irish Whiskey, Irish Mule, Irish Old Fashioned- while at the time we weren't Whiskey drinkers-the high quality taste had us again changing our tune from 'just one' to 'another!' Would definitely recommend the bar- high quality drinks, delicious food, and fantastic vibe-well rounded spot.

The bars patrons are very friendly and will play a game of snooker with ya for sure! Great selection of whiskeys and beers. No food and there were kids in there (as most Irish pubs do), but just early...say before 7. Stop in and have a few if your ever up in N.E. Ireland! Oh, and the town is DERRY, not Londonderry and the Brits would prefer... Slainte!

As we explored the city and its rich and rocky history, we decided to visit the Bogside neighborhood and boy are we glad we walked into the Bogside Inn! The owner, Shane (sp?) and a good group of his friends occupied the stools and tables while the soccer match and horse races were on. They were so friendly and welcoming to us as we sipped on some delicious pints of Guinness (and some Jameson, too!). Most everyone in the bar took the time to come over and chat with us, ask us about our holiday in Ireland and tell us about Derry. They were a fun, cheery, and boisterous bunch! This was definitely one of our best nights in Ireland. If you're visiting Derry, Bogside Inn is a must!
