Badgers Bar in Derry

Cracking service and lovely food served up in a great location. Take a look at the old photos on the walls - some fabulous characters pictured.

Organised a buffet for 50 people celebrating a 50 year reunion..staff were amazing. Helped decorate the room for us. In the background shoukd we need anything. Very courteous and kind. Tracey the manager and Paula great to deal with. Hoping to be back very soon

Food was delicious 😋 place was spotless! The staff are very friendly. Value for money. Great location. Hidden gem. We will be back!

Absolutely fantastic food and a great choice of drinks in a unique location. The staff are very much part of the experience and their friendly approach and passion shines through.

4 of us came here for lunch. It was a delightful local pub with very good food The daily soup was a delicious puréed soup without cream served with fresh soda bread 2 of us had the open salad whose ia sort of Irish salad can composée which was very generous and fresh. The fish and chips was a huge portion of perfectly fried cod Definitely a great lunch spot

Very nice venue Staff largely friendly But - food not amazing £17.50 for 5 frozen gougans Beef was tough and largely cold Unlikely to return.

lovely food chilli beef stir fry very tasty Hubby had roast beef he also enjoyed his meal will definitely be back

Had a lovely meal in here, the portions were massive. The staff were very lovely and attentive.

Get the lasagne Beautiful stuff. Great staff too

The Best Restaurant in Derry and The staff will help you with any request on the Menu that you are not sure about. A Very clean and relaxing place to just take your time . The Food is well over 100% worth its asking Price ,

Shame yous have no respect for the people of Derry. ....bad decision re Derry Girls. How idiotic are you people.

If you want a quiet drink and a reasonably priced meal. Then Badgers is for you.

We had a small lunch here and were very satisfied with the ambience, service and value for money. We'd love to come back.

Asked some Locals where could we get a decent Drink and snacks and Badgers Bar abd Restaurant was mentioned so we gave it a Try. Good Prices for a few drinks and some snacks and lots of banter from people who want a chat about this or that or the weather. we will def go back and Great staff.

Delicious food and great atmosphere

Very handy bar bang in the centre of Derry Tableservice for drinks and food Great option for food with good menu and big options also great pint of Guinness Can get busy at lunch arrive early or later Recommend the Chowder

Ordered the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich with Fries and a Coke. Service from the young Lady was prompt, sadly the Coke was probably from a already opened plastic bottle i.e warm and slightly flat, food was served quickly, fries were good, hard to feck them up, sadly the Cheese steak was lacking steak, only a few pieces, and the cheese was on the top of the sarnie, not melted inside, disappointing all round.

We didn’t have to wait on a Saturday night. Food took about 15min, but the waiters are very kind and efficient. Food was simple, but good. The atmosphere was also great, not loud at all and very bright and pleasant.

Nice atmosphere great food and friendly helpful staff.

Great spot, thoughvery much full of tourists (like ourselves). Enjoyed a couple of lovely pints of Kilkenny and whiled away some time amid the hustle and bustle.

The food was really good! The Beef and Guiness casserole was mildly sweet with a soft texture The bar also has a pretty cool vibe and spacing. Would go her for drinks again!

Very busy place, pretty nice atmosphere and character with a nice variety of decorations. Roast beef was overcooked and tough. Beef and Guinness stew was ok. Cearser dirty salad was bad. Parsley sauce just had dried parsley sitting at the bottom of the service cup, and we had stir it to mix in the parsley . Philly cheese steak was nothing special. Irish breakfast was fine. Thick fries were ok, not greasy. The garlic potatoes cubes were tasty. Small tap list of beets. Guiness was poured properly. The Rough as Badger hazy IPA had a very mild hop flavour for a hazy IPA, I was expecting more flavour. The booth seating is very short in depth maybe 13 inches in depth, so seating was not comfortable. Service was pretty good and friendly.

Recommended to us by the gentlemen in the carpark and were quite right, yes a little pricy, but well worth it. Excellent customer service. Delicious food. And great atmosphere.

Good pints great food and staff

Came to Londonderry to do the tourist things and educate myself had a great day . Called into Badgers for a late lunch food drinks and service all very good .All the staff worked very hard in a busy busy pub . Would call again if I was in Londonderry

Gorgeous food - simple pub grub made with really good quality ingredients. I had the falafel, which was really moist and tasted great. Partner had a beef burger (delicious apparently) and some brilliantly garlicky potato cubes. Staff super friendly, charming setting, and a great mural outside!

Good food, nice atmosphere and very friendly staff!

Lovely bar with friendly staff and good food

Staff are so accommodating and so helpful. We recently set up outside the Derry Girls Wall and couldn’t have been looked after better. The food and drink is next level and we would highly recommend Badgers for your next visit to the city. Thanks for all your help guys 🙌 Northern Lights Team 🎓🥂

Very warm welcome from the staff, food was lovely

Before walking the city walls, we asked a local resident to recommend a great place to eat that is near the wall. He recommended Badger's, and we are so glad we took his advice. For us, it was near the end of our walk on the city walls, so it was a perfect way to end our day exploring Derry. I had a wonderful Irish Beef and Guinness Stew, and my wife had the quesadilla. Both were excellent. In fact, we spent about two weeks exploring Ireland and all the British Isles, and my meal at Badger's was one of the best I had. The server was so kind to us, recognizing that we were trying to figure things out and arriving close to closing time. She was a great help with advice for parking and other Derry details. In addition, our table was next to a table with a mother and daughter from Omagh. We had a delightful time talking with them about Ireland, the U.S., and their relatives in Canada and Boston. Many times in Ireland we were able to meet incredibly kind and helpful people, and this mum and daughter were two of them. We had a great experience at Banger's!

On a visit to Derry I like to go to Badgers for lunch. The food is always great. On my recent visit I had roast beef with champ. The roast beef portion was very generous.

Unfortunately one of the worst Sunday roast dinners I have ever had. No roast potatoes, no Yorkshire pudding, over cooked vegetables. Need I say more. I was charged £15 for this memorable dinning experience. My friend had a blue cheese salad it was terrible to. It was extremely small more of a starter than a main.

We were disappointed with the food. It was cold and tasteless.

Was there for lunch one day .second day had dinner, there was 7 of us and the manager went out of his way to keep us all together .💚

Good welcome, good food. Restaurant recommended by a local.

Nice tent, cozy atmosphere, service does their best, only the food could be much better and that's basically what it's all about. The lasagna was bone dry and half of it could go in the trash. The fish chowder tasted fine, but the quantity was just enough as a starter And it is listed as a main course with the corresponding price. An apology from the staff is nice, but they could have also arranged something with the price afterwards

Beer was good 😊.I wait ages for cezar salad.When it arives I was very disappointed, didn't taste fresh and wasn't tasty.

Home of the Derry Girls mural!!!

Lovely atmosphere all staff so welcoming. Food is lovely.

Was a good pit stop for lunch while out for the day. Even had Guinness 0.0% for me. Cheers!

Great bar food was nice the staff are nice and friendly definitely be going back again soon

Friendly staff great atmosphere

Little hidden gem in Derry/Londonderry (Maiden City 🙄). Visit the mural of the Derry Girls and walk down to this little pub restaurant. It's right below the famous Walk. Well priced with a good menu. Warm and comfy plus it sells decent Guinness. Friendly staff and plenty of room. Well worth calling into if you are visiting the city. 👍😁

Quite a cosy pub located at the Derry Girls mural. Very old style pub furnishings which added to the atmosphere. We had a group of 8 adults and ordered various menu items and it was served up in quick time. Everyone's choices were cooked beautifully and my own choice of seafood chowder with the guiness bread was so tasty and filling.

Food amazing, specifically the beef dinner & the halloumi burger (with a mushroom the size of a tea plate!) Quick service but you may have to wait for 10 mins for a table, it gets quite busy

Sea food chowder was awesome. Really love the atmosphere in here and they sell kilkenny

Walked in to be greeted by a lovely waiter. Service was with a smile and helpful. We all had lovely meals. Definitely go back

Lovely bar. Friendly staff, great pint and delicious seafood chowder.

Great food and service, very clean, staff are lovely, definitely recommend, will be back 😀

We had a group of 12 and they accommodated us right away. Great service and food

Tourist pub-look stop so ticked those boxes. Staff great.

Best pint of Guinness in the town

A beautiful wee pub right next to the shopping centres. Only had the one pint, but I'm glad i called in

Badgers Bar & Restaurant has over 1000 Google Maps reviews and a great star rating, so my son and I decided to head here for lunch during our trip to Derry/Londonderry today. Now, I'll caveat this by saying that it seemed exceptionally busy for a Wednesday lunchtime, and in hindsight, I wish I'd asked what the wait time for food would be. I didn't do this, and we ended up waiting for around 35 minutes after we'd been seated. I ordered the Badgers Beef Burger and my son the buttermilk chicken burger. Both meals come with a side of your choice. I got chunky chips, my son ordered skinny fries and we both ordered a side of pepper sauce. The beef burger was nice, but slightly overcooked for my preference and could have used a relish or sauce on the burger because it was quite dry, though a mayo style dip is provided on the side. No complaints on the chicken burger from my son! The atmosphere in the bar is really nice though and the menu is extensive and well curated with a mix of traditional and contemporary meals and small plates on offer. The music playlist was right up my street, mostly well known and loved 90s and early 00s hits!

It's a very busy place and feels kind of claustrophobic and the food took ages to come and they got most of people orders wrong there including 2 of ours and it was ok but massive portions. In the end it was nice to see the derry girls painting beside it but wouldn't come running back to it

Great food good seat to watch rugby

Brilliant music with Shane MC ginley

Good excellent service friendly atmosphere great!

Glasses was dirty food wasn't great Won't be back

The craic was good listening to the local lady's natter. The food there was definitely something the matter and could be much better. The ipa is called rough as a badgers ... unfortunately i ubstaned from having a glass All joking aside i wish them all good tides . Happy Christmas .

Excellent food & Brilliant service - Staff very welcoming and great craic!

Brilliant staff, food really good washed down with drinks.

Food was very good and friendly staff

Disappointing experience. Food took ages to arrive and when it did, it was freezing. 3 out-of 4 of our dining party had melted plastic throughout their mashed potato's which made them sick. The meat was dried out and tough. We left after paying for our drinks. Other diners who witnessed our issue ended up cancelling their meals and left behind us. One couple had ordered burgers and the bacon was served raw inside it. The waitresses where amazing and so apologetic. Bless them they were so embarrassed. But we won't be back

Had the roast dinner today and to say we were disappointed would be an understatement. Waited ages for it to arrive and when it did most of it was freezing. Roast beef was dry and tasted horrible. Worst part was the plastic that was through the mashed potato's. Our entire party got up and ended up paying for our drinks and left. Followed closely behind by a few other diners who where disgusted with what they witnessed and the state their own food came out

Great traditional pub food with friendly atmosphere. Friendly staff and first rate food. Loved the steak sandwich and my wife loved the Guinness stew. Stop by for the food and the Derry Girls mural outside. :)

Fabulous pub and Fabulous food. Lovely friendly staff. Highly recommend a visit. Derry girls mural is amazing.

Nice place with a perfect welcome!

Pub from the 1960s but still traditional in the heart of Derry. Good menu is good hearty food, beer is good. DerryGirls mural on the back! Go up the Derry city walls to see it!

Frost class food and friendly staff

Delicious food and great atmosphere

Between the Derry Girls mural and vintage Guinness ads on the walls, there is no question that you are in a classic Irish pub. Tight, warm, and humming. An iconic Derry spot.

Visiting Ireland for the first time, absolutely love this place :).

The air con was blowing on us, cooling our food quickly. Wifi not working. Service just ok.

Wow. Recommendation. Food was TOP.

Lovely wee spot and good was delicious. Very good value. Hubby had Caesar Salad and I had chicken gougons and all were very tasty. Our seating was on 3rd level but as bar was very busy, we preferred it.

Huge fish and chips and really tasty... Must visit when in Derry...

Love here. Excellent value and great atmosphere. Great traditional style pub.

Bit quiet on a Tuesday night but the place was beautiful and cosy and certainly peaceful and they have their own beer called Rough as a Badger's which was super nice. Great for a casual one post work. Lots of space for activities. They were showing Scotland losing to England on the telly which was a reasonably bad vibe. Won't hold that against them though.

Lovely staff!! Their pesto pasta is delicious. Highly recommend. They were also able to make a vegetarian version of the chicken pesto pasta. Very pleased with this restaurant.

Great local bar with some great local food. Delicious!

Love this place. Best Beef and Guinness Casserole (stew) I've ever had!

A nice pub, music, atmosphere and really nice food

Brought my friend who was visiting Derry for a few days for lunch here. The food was excellent with huge portions great value for money. Staff attentive snd friendly. Toilets very clean. Definitely be back

Been a few times, often a wait to get a seat

Always go to Badgers when we visit the area and it never disappoints - great service, lovely food and the best atmosphere.

Amazing place. Very comfortable. Staff amazing and the food is absolutely delicious. Can't wait to return

Pleasant place, good beer... What else?

Brilliant food, service was exceptional. Very nice pub inside would recommend to anyone on a visit to Stroke City

Visited on a busy Saturday afternoon. Staff told us there was going to be a wait for a table but we could get a drink and wait in beer garden. Wait was about half the estimated time and the attentive staff came and got us from the beer garden when our table was ready. Food was delicious and very filling. Would definitely go again when visiting Derry!

Hade tänkt oss Libanesisk mat, men hamnade på denna fullsatta gemytliga pub. Det blev "Casserol kokad i Guinness". Smakade utmärkt! Man hade inte behövt något pommes vid sidan om. :-)

They don’t serve dinner. Great beer and atmosphere!

Hamburger was great, great atmosphere. Service was slow, pretty typical of N. Ireland.

We absolutely loved this place in Derry. Top class service and food. Steamed mussels in garlic were superb.

Great pub great service and atmosphere

Having a day in Derry doing the tourist bit and finished it of with food and drinks in Badgers. As the weather had been surprisingly good for Norn Ireland we had enjoyed walking round the town. We called in had a drink each and nibbled on a selection of their starters and they were delicious. Great wee pub.

Very good food inexpensive great service fantastic central location and food Guinness definitely a local haunt would recommend.

A vibrant bar, very friendly and efficient staff. Food tasty and good value
