Grand Central Bar in Derry

Good pub with good atmosphere. The waiter is friendly.

Was told this was a must-see bar in Derry. It's fairly central but it's certainly not grand.

Best Coffee and tea excellent service

It was pouring down with rain as we were passing this pub, so we decided to call-in for a drink. It was open mic night and surprisingly full for a Wednesday night. My partner was very impressed with his Guinness and I enjoyed a white wine which comes in a small bottle. We got chatting with the regulars who were very welcoming and friendly.

It was a good craic! Fun pub quiz & friendly folks. Thanks Terry & Seana!

On visit to Derry to see the walls, we stopped off at the The Grand Central bar with a disabled friend, who had a disability scooter. After a couple of beers we were asked to leave by the bar lady. She said the scooter was blocking her way, although there were 12 kegs of beer on the floor taking up a lot of room. The message was clear, If you are disabled you are not welcome here

Always great atmosphere and service

Great wee Bar in Derry City Center. Great beers, great staff especially Mark. Always a laugh and a good night. Highly recommend it!

Music a bit too loud an very small space but cute

Un pub clásico simple. Personal amable y una gran pinta de Guinness Sin duda recomendaría este bar.

Old days ...bar...nice buzz good beer

Always a great spot for a fun night out

Llegué a tomar una pinta, pero me quedé por la música cómica, buena música, músicos tradicionales y cantantes poderosos, PD, la bebida tampoco estuvo mal.

Si te gustan los antiguos pubs tradicionales, esto es imprescindible, no hay mucha historia dentro y un gran ambiente volverá a visitar

A grand place. I got lucky and wandered in on a Sunday night and there was traditional music, great local crowd. The bartenders were charming and helpful with trying new whiskey. People around the room took turns singing and they had lovely voices. An absolutely charming spot, exactly what I would want on a night out.

My absolute favourite place in Derry

No food food anymore They refer you to the Tap House which was great Nice customer service Thanks

Trad music on a Sunday night from 8.30..........reels jigs hornpipes mazurkas and maybe a French waltz..... for eclectic musical tastes!!!

This is a lovely old fashioned bar, near the centre of the city. The barman was extremely polite and welcoming. There was live music the night my wife and I were there (Wednesday). Well worth a visit.

First class old fashioned bar. A real gem, first class service and real good value

Nice pint of Guiness and friendly staff.

Lovely bar with a great pint of Limeburger. Friendly staff

Very friendly staff and very cosy

Good trad session on a Sunday night

The upstairs room was a perfect venue. Lovely pizza and the staff were super helpful and friendly.

Great bar, great food, bit on small side so early bird gets a seat.

Great wee bar. We were all uostairs at private party. Food was excellent and the staff was 10/10

Cracking pub great selection of beers craft an other, as in the name Central to rest of town, well worth a visit

Love the atmosphere, the music, the place, the staf...

Ok bar. Not much more I can say

Always drawn back to the central my first pint was in here good staff

Fine pub, Great staff good beer

Was a Great 'little' bar. Bit Pricey now

Visited the bar with my daughter on a Friday night to experience some Irish hospitality. Very friendly bar, really attractive inside and out. Tried my first Guinness and it was lovely. Would recommend.

Lovely we bar staff so friendly

Personal amable y servicial que respondió nuestras preguntas antes de que fuéramos clientes. Buscando la cena un lunes por la noche, el joven cantinero ofreció algunas sugerencias que fueron extremadamente útiles. Volvimos las siguientes dos noches. Buen bar de lunes a viernes, buen servicio y selección. Hermosa madera tallada en todo el bar.

Great bar with great staff. Eclectic mix of beers with good promotions.

Un pub típico Irlandés, buen ambiente y cerveza barata (unas 3 libras la pinta de Guinness). Recomendable

Dropped in for a last drink. Great atmosphere, good music and lovely patrons. Was a bit wary of Derry pubs doe to the recent past but felt totally relaxed in this wonderful little pub. Locals were superb.

Small but welcoming and friendly . Mainly used by a mixed crowd .

Quiz on a tuesday night is a well put togeather,

no comimos aquíSin embargo, para tomar una copa fue un maravilloso bar.Cuando llegamos, tuvimos que sufrir un borracho no local, pero pronto se lo mostró el barman. Después de lo cual tuvimos una noche fabulosa, después de haber sido atados a la noche del concurso, simplemente no pudimos irnos. . . casi 1. 00 am y tenía trabajo al día siguiente.Pero nos reímos mucho todos amables y el personal del bar. . . . muerto en.

Local pub, local people felt like a local, good pints!

Die Grand Central Bar ist ein kleiner, gemütlicher Pub. Wir waren am Samstagabend dort, eine Sängerin sorgte für Livemusik und alles war sehr voll. Insgesamt auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

Just called in for a couple of pints of Guinness. Very welcoming. Great pint,not expensive. Locals friendly . Add to your walkabout list.

Small and cosy. Old style pub. Good beer.

Great little bar. Nice food also!!

Proper pub, authentic. Go, stop dithering. Good music, decent beer. Rather surreal. ;) Life is great.

Great food and great beer on offer! The Sunday roast in particular is fantastic!

Nice bar and good live music :-)

We were playing an Irish music session. Craic was good. It was quiet up stairs some of the time. Could hear music really well. Need 5 minutes to wind down session at end of night. We were told to stop in the middle of a set of tunes, which isn't the done thing and very uncool.

Good food nice pub friendly atmosphere

Great atmosphere, music and beer.

Was here on the usual lads night out when I visit. It was quite for a Friday night but had some excellent pints of the black stuff however they now have all sorts of craft beers and Sam Adams on draft. Great pub

Nice and friendly with a good selecion of beers

Great wee pub. Warm atmosphere and some cracking craft beers.

I went in looking for a bar meal and found that food was only served on certain days (Tuesday?). The staff and customers were very helpful and apologetic and suggested other places for food nearby.

Me he comido aquí varias veces, y siempre ha sido bueno, pero el hecho de que también son actualmente ofrece 2 comidas principales por £10, me animó a escribir esta reseña de 5 estrellas.

Nous avons passé une bonne soirée dans ce pub. Personnel très sympatrique et musique live le soir. Belle ambiance qui donne envie de rester jusqu'au bout de la nuit.

Small pub but one of the best in Derry. Laid back spot. Good beers.

I had heard from people that the food at the Grand Central was really nice, but each time I called in the kitchen was just closed, or closed for the day, or a private party was happening. I finally caught a meal one Sunday and...

Después de llegar a finales de Grand Central Bar, teníamos una pinta una pieza y el personal era muy servicial. Preguntamos sobre albergues por la zona ya que no habíamos reservado. Ella era tan servicial Janna hizo por encima y más allá y nos conectó con uno! Gente genial aquí. Era un lunes por la noche, así que no es un montón de gente, que a veces es cómo me gusta. Una experiencia maravillosa!

He visitado este bar en muchas ocasiones para bebidas y para participar en su concurso, pero sólo recientemente noches nos dimos cuenta de que también ofrecen comida. El sábado pasado mi pareja y yo fuimos y probamos el menú y las comidas eran deliciosos!! Opté por el pollo que incluía queso de cabra y ensalada y era servido con patatas fritas, mi compañero tenía una hamburguesa. Los tamaños de las porciones eran sumamente generoso y nos incapaz de terminar nuestros platos, pero la comida era tan buena que realmente queríamos!

One bar pub, victorian ?? looking - excellent Guinness. Friendly staff. no problems whatsoever. Looks like there is a karaoke night too.

Had some lovely pub grub in the Grand Central after a day of meetings in Derry. Staff were friendly and the price was good for the portion sizes. Recommended

Lovely wee pub in derry, excellent pub quiz on a tuesday night, and a good selection of alcoholic beverages on offer!

Excellent service, fantastic roast dinner and great atmosphere! I go here occasional and am never disappointed.

Opened for business Christmas Eve-had just finished work and decided to go for a wee drink with family and friends to raise a glass to those near and far at Christmas. Sat upstairs-log fire on, Mellow Christmas tunes playing softly in the background and a complimentary glass of mulled wine was served to all punters. Such a lovely touch.If you haven't already, visit the Grand central-you will definitely receive a warm welcome, great gastro pub food and fab live music from local talent most weekends. First pub in Derry to get behind and support that which is now a vast array of local ales they will also be launching their very own ale called Dopey Dick can't wait to sample

Great little pub with a lively atmosphere! Some REALLY nice beers.

I went out with some people from work and this is the first pub before the restaurant. The staff are friendly and a good choice of beers

I used to travel to Ireland for business, and would always take a personal day or two to drive up to Derry. This pub would be my first stop after settling in. They pull a lovely pint, the food is very good, and while the locals were always friendly to say hello, I never felt harassed or "eyeballed" as a solo woman. Highly recommend.

Do like this bar but downstairs is too small and no matter when we call in always seems to be packed but with very drunk people even during the day. Three times recently we have turned and gone elsewhere. Its a pity as beautiful inside

Great pint,great staff,great food and great music. Feels just like my local. If I lived in Derry I would drink here.Very friendly locals always able for a chat.

Lovely little bar in the centre of town. They have excellent local beers on tap from Donegal and further afield, and have a good selection of spirits too. Have been a few times, and the music from bands and DJs on Fridays and Saturdays is always brilliant, and contributes to the great atmosphere of the bar itself.

this is a pleasant city centre bar with not bad prices and a cosy type atmosphere.went in for a couple of pints on a wednesday night and the place seemed friendly enough,would visit again next time im in town

We call into the grand central about once a month when we are in Derry. We usually stay in the travel lodge directly across the street. The Central is always our first (and sometimes last!) stop on our pub crawl. It has such beautiful character, lovely original bar and checkered floor from the 1920's. The selection of beers is the best I've seen in Derry, loads of craft bottles to choose from and even the draft selection has much more choice than most bars, and there is a good selection of top shelf spirits. The bar staff are always fantastic and so friendly and helpful, I like the fact they are mainly older (late 20's-30's) and are all experienced and seem to care about the customers experience and overall bar experience. We always have some banter with the guys on Saturday nights, they remember us each time we are in and always take time to have a quick chat and make us feel welcomed. The clientele is a good mix, generally from early 30's upwards which we'd prefer (not been ageist but the days of downing shots with teenagers is sadly long gone!) Heard a few different dj's on Saturday nights and they are all fantastic, not the usual chart cheese you hear in most bars but music for the 80's and 90's kids! Have only been on a Friday once when it was a guy playing some classic covers, lovely relaxed atmosphere. I love the little touchs like fairy lights on the windows, candles on the tables and in the toilets which make the place feel homely and personal. Haven't tried food yet but it looks amazing and heard other customers say it's beautiful so next time we will be eating here! Love this bar, definately our favourite place in Derry and we look forward to returning every time we visit the city.

There was a great traditional seisun on the Sunday night - uillean pipes, whistles and an acoustic guitar. the music on the Friday night was terrible - so give that a miss!

Loved this place! Called with a friend for Sunday lunch and pints. The food was superb, had a lovely roast brisket washed down with a couple of pints of the tasty black stuff. I would highly recommend this place, delicious food, great Guinness and could not fault the staff who were very attentive and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be back!!!

I walked in to the bar this evening with my wife, stood directly in front of the barman who was showing an obviously new member of staff how to pour a pint. No problem, guy has got to learn and I can wait for a bit. All the barman had to do was acknowledge that we were standing there. No, completely ignored while he continued with his tutorial. I can accept it if the barman didn't see me, but he did and chose to ignore me and my wife. I hope the new barman gets his customer service training from someone else. Walked out and won't be back.

Popped in with my sister for light evening meal and wee drink. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, beautiful menu with very reasonable prices..ordered spicy pizza and chips with pesto Dressing between us...divine!! Food Was fresh and so tasty. Staff very considerate and attentive.Looking forward to next meal there. Highly recommend!

really traditional style pub, always fairly busy which is good sign.Guinness is always without fail fabulous, never got a bad pint.Good music too and usual matches on TV etc.Have only been mid week but if that's anything to go by the weekends should be even better.Excellent free wifi tooWell worth a visit.
