WAS AND I SAY WAS brilliant bar...New bar staff are dismissive, ride and arrogant. Not wanting to help or explain cocktail menu. About 8 months ago brilliant attentive bar staff. Now, too focused on selfless, how the9y look and ONLY SERVING UNDER 22S...forget quality of service if your over 35 your told I DONT MAKE THE MENU JUST READ IT. Disgusted as I used to be a regular.

The Brickwork Bar is a very nice Bar and has a friendly atmosphere in it, if you want to hold a private function I would highly recommend it as they have an upstairs function room to suit your tastes and the staff are very helpful and friendly in giving you everything you need to make special memories

First of all.. vibes immaculate on our first night here. Cheap drink and good music was what we were met with upon arrival. Only place in the area that didn't seem to be 23+ to get in. Ended up getting ourselves sorted with a drink and got sitting down to hear an absolute angel on the mic. Not only was she fantastic at singing and was singing mostly for the people at the back making sure EVERYONE could hear but she was real eager to get people to sing along and the crowd was helpful when she forgot the words. I'd pay top dollar to hear the lungs of that doll again but one can only dream. Up close acrobatics as entertainment and was impressed at the flexibility of the guests to this establishment. Did someone order a banana split? Establishment welcome to PDA. If you just canny wait to be in the comfort of your own home, you'll be sorted here. Don't worry about trying to hide your love. We were really dying to get back here the next night. TOTALLY different night did we no have. Went in to the place and it was deed. Pure hints of quiz clothing store was terrible. Pure neon pink, get away back to 2008. Bar woman screwed her bake up at me for asking for a regular drink at any other part of the country. Took it on the chin since the drink price was cheap. Paper bendy straws was also something I could get behind. Sat down and was stared at by a creeper skallywag. Lone wolf giving daggers like we'd be interested. Dahmer would come to mind. Went to the bathroom and had to lift my arms to high heavens to get my hands washed. Had to parkour up the stairs to get away from the men that wandered the stairwell. Overall unreal, best craic we had in Derry particularly the first night! Hire thon mic snatcher for that was Grammy worthy.

Guinness tasted like cats pish , not that I've ever tasted cats pish but am guessing it tastes like the Guinness here . No atmosphere full of strange young folk heads stuck in there phones not talking to each other.

I went here for Christmas lunch. I'm not convinced the side dishes like potatoes were actually vegan. The food was ok.. the waiting staff were amazing helpful and couldn't do enough to be helpful. Down side was a womyn wondering around with her cardigan hanging off one shoulder, just totally confusing the waiting staff and having no idea how to talk to customers discreetly.

The menu had us wowed, but the food didn't quite live up to our expectations. Wasn't bad at all, but perhaps we had hyped it up in our heads as we planned our shared orders. Very small portions (2 of each item on the shared menu - a bit small even for tapas). Several of the tapas items could've/should've been served with a sauce as they were a bit dry. However - the kimchi chicken skewers were fantastic and very saucy (and spicy). If you're into heat, order these!

Walked into the restaurant and we were greeted in a warm manner and ushered to our seats. The ambiance is great. Food is very tasty and quite affordable and they have got varieties and dishes for vegan and low-fat they are patient with their customers. It’s literally Brickwork all over. From the walls to the menu and to the seating area. They had wonderful portraits too on the wall and they always have a special chef order for the day which is what we had and yes, the sirloin steak and onion rings was worth it and yes we are going back there again. Oh sorry that’s my man, he isn’t on the menu list. You are welcome

Never been so offended or embarrased in my life. To see the way a member of staff (who claimed to be the manager on site for the day) refuse to serve someone because they had been barred. Would have been fair enough except for how she had already been served and had eaten in the restaurant without issue. Then, when the girl asked what she had done to get barred, the story changed every few seconds. And the way the member of staff spoke to this person was disgusting. She was so rude and disrespectful. If this person is supposed to be a manager I’d hate to see how a normal member of staff would speak to patrons. So unprofessional and overhearing this exchange is enough to put me off going back.

Me and a group of friends went to Brickwork and got a drink, we then went for food (which was fantastic) afterwards we went for another drink in the bar to then be told by the “Manager” I use this word very loosely that one of us was barred but when questioned changed her story several times as to why this was. When I questioned the “Manager” they could not provide even the slightest reason as to why this was. The actual reason was because someone known to the “Manager” who was drinking for free may I add, has a personal issue with the apparent barred individual. I’m failing to understand why a personal issue, a very silly one at that, would add to a reason why PAYING customers had to leave the bar. There was a group of 12 and the “Managers” attitude was disgusting. Whilst the “Manager” is working I will not be back. All other staff are amazing and attentive but that one person ruined my opinion on the whole place
