The Bentley Bar in Derry

Nice restaurant and bar with good local food and drinks. Enjoyed the ambiance and location near the old city.

Great place, best people and the service was awesome! A must if you stops in Derry!!

Beautiful as always!! Just make sure you are really hungry, as portions are big!! 🤪

Huge portions of great tasting food served by very friendly, efficient staff. Highly recommend.

Lovely place with a very traditional "fancy pub look" Price for burger meals was okay but lacking a bit of flavor on my Belfast burger.

Great food and exceptional service

Food was delicious and the staff are really friendly. Really good atmosphere in the bar..

Came here as a group of ten and the service was excellent. Staff were attentive and friendly. The one deducted star is for the fact that the vegetarian options were truly awful. They tasted like they were taken from a jar and heated up in the microwave. In this day and age you need to do better options.

Our walk in party of five was accommodated in the Steakhouse. The food was delicious and the service from Dessy was outstanding. Thank you

A larger pub with good food and friendly service staff for a break or a leisurely meal. The shopping mall and the large show stage are right next to it. Like everywhere else in the city, the prices are at a higher level with good quality. There is a good selection of typical pub food and a plentiful drinks selection. The drinks from the tap - on draft - are often cheaper, so just ask what's available on draft. The audience is quite mixed from young to old, locals and tourists. There are several floors in the pub and you are taken to your seat.

The bentley of food is truly here! Best wings I’ve ever had in my life, the 50/50 is too much for a big guy like me - and finger-licking good! The sauces are insane delicious - and also simple food like chicken goujons are world class 😋 unfortunately I’ve got only one stomach!

Good food and welcoming service!

Fast,friendly service will be back again

Was in for lunch with a friend, seated straight away, food top notch and service was outstanding out waitress Anna was very accommodating

Excellent food just raving about it for weeks Perfect service chicken was perfectly crispy and the chips were gorgeous the drinks were nice fantastic place BIGGGG RECOMMENDATION

Don't come here. Simply rubbish, terrible service, terrible seating and the food was undercooked. This place should be shut down.

Absolutely terrific highly recommended

Good and abundant food. Good price, not expensive. But, on the floor below, the nightclub was full and the cutlery vibrated due to the volume of the music. An experience!!!!

So good we came back after visiting years ago Super friendly staff who even checked with my girlfriend if she wanted to use the lift instead of the stairs Food is excellent with plenty of options on the early bird menu and you won't go away hungry. If you can't finish the staff will give you a box Highly recommend

Friendly staff, great food and well priced .

The food cannot be faulted. It's was brilliant. Unfortunately the service was a shambles. Wrong sides sent out and the meals were finished before the correct ones were resent. Some of our table had food delivered that was cold and not resent until others had completely finished. Some of the staff were obviously annoyed by the complaints and were overheard speaking to other staff in a derogatory manner about our table. What was to be a celebratory night was tarnished by this. Again, the food was lovely but because of the other issues we won't be back.

We were welcomed here very friendly. The Guinness pie and meat were excellent. thank you for the hospitality

Beautiful food, reasonably priced & very friendly staff!!

Service quick to begin with, staff seemed to clear off at 9pm so mains were sitting finished for 45 mins. We got up and left. No one asked if we enjoyed ourselves and we were freezing. Aircon was blasting right over our table but no staff around to ask to turn it off. Wasn't even that busy looking. Quick to clear off empty tables though.

Great food, family friendly, central location.

Excellent service and amazing friendly atmosphere very good night

The food was lovely! Good sized portions for the price, definitely worth it. We had a bit of confusion with the 2 for 1 cocktail deal, but the staff were so lovely, they made coming here a worthwhile experience. Thanks to all the fab staff who served us!!

Very good food, excellent service, pleasant atmosphere (despite the football game :) Moderate prices, good selection of food and drinks. All in all highly recommended.

Taylor who works in the Linen is such a wee babe. What a talented and social bar maid. Her customer service is impeccable and she has amazing rapport with everyone no matter what their breeding or background. Just such a kind woman and we frequent here every Sunday. Wish I’d left a review long before now but this bar is just so cute and lovely and welcoming and Taylor is a huge part of that ♥️

Lovely food staff Lovely food was excellent I would come back again sometime

Food was great and I had a lovely pint of creamy Guinness. 🌟

We actually only came here by chance and more or less out of time constraints. Bentley Buster Burger was okay in itself but there was no reason to come here specifically for it. The soup of the day was leek and onion soup, which was unfortunately very heavily peppered. Fish of the day ended up being fish and chips with “garlic” potatoes that didn’t taste like garlic. Staff was friendly, atmosphere okay.

Had a great night for my daughters 18th

Beautiful food, which was reasonably priced. The staff who served us were very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed with both Derry and Armagh fans getting fed and watered before the match!! Guinness was great, and the wife enjoyed 2 beautiful cocktails!! We'll definitely be back when next up in Derry!

Great bar for having a drink and for food.

My boyfriend and I ate here for a change. He ordered a baked salmon which came with a lemon. There was a thick white coating on the skin on the lemon which wouldn’t come off and a part of it was blue. Understandably we believed this to be mould. We told our server about it who was unsure and went to the other servers. They all had a confused look on her face. A different server came over with the moulded lemon and told us that there was no blue on it and that it was a “seed coating” that the chef must have put on it and walked away. It put both of us off of our meal completely. We will never be back. I am absolutely disgusted that they served us mouldy food expecting us to believe it was a “seed coating”

Amazing food. The steak and the Belly buster burger were both perfectly cooked. Best we've had. Good service with a friendly lively atmosphere

Food was fantastic as we're the cocktails. Service couldn't have been better as we were a large group celebrating a 40th birthday and they catered for our every need. It wasn't our first visit and certainly won't be the last.

Absolutely fantastic place. I would highly recommend it 😉😉🍻

Great food and excellent customer service definitely recommend a visit

This place was buzzing during recent Derry Jazz and Blues Festival

I just love coming here. Just all round amazing

Perfect service and excellent cuisine!

My sister and I had a lovely lunch, I had the beef and my sister had the chicken burgers, staff very helpful and manners excellent, chips homemade not frozen

Really nice Irish pub, great meat. Starter Frank's Chicken Wings... mega.

21st birthday party . Good night in the private room. Staff on were great . Pleasant . Didn't have any of the buffet but have eaten here loads of time and usually very good.

Fantastic lunch with all the family. Lovely staff, fantastic food and the kids ate everything! 😋

Price was reasonable, I love the ambience there , staff was very helpful , we ordered the Bentley burger ( meat was cooked perfect) , Guinness steak pie (love the sauce)and also the starter portion of ribs ( it was perfectly seasoned and it tasted fabulous) . We will definitely come back again !!

Had a pleasant night with great food at the Bentley Bar. Food was good as was the service with friendly helpful staff.

Spend some money on your toilets you make enough

Arrived for our 6.30 reservation at 6.20 and weren’t being brought to our table until 6.50. People arrived after us and were brought to their tables straight away. When finally brought to our table, we were given no menus and had to sit for another 15 minutes before having to ask staff for some. Also weren’t asked for a drinks order when we sat down at the table.

Our last resort after driving in from a long journey. A very busy location and night hotspot. Got lost trying to leave. Food was surprisingly good.

NICEST GUINNESS IN TOWN. Cool pub, not too busy and staff were nice enough. But if you need a pint of Guinness, this is the best place that does it. I'm not sure what they do to it that makes it taste better than everywhere else, but it just does?!

Food and pricing is decent, but far from the best in Derry. The interior and atmosphere is alright, a little dark and tight though. There are several floors, about 4, to the building, so seating should not be an issue if they are all available.

Called in here randomly during the day with my husband after a business meeting and I have to say the food was absolutely fantastic! We both got different dishes but both where to die for. They were busy but thankfully the squeezed us in. Young staff were friendly which always helps and didn’t take long for food to arrive. Nice cosy atmosphere with plenty of tvs for football fanatics. Lovely spot, we’ll definitely be back. Prices were reasonable staff friendly and food fantastic!

Lively bar/restaurant. But if you’re a vegetarian, best to pre eat before coming here.

Great night out for the music bingo on Wednesdays! So much fun, great craic and good tunes. There’s also karaoke after the bingo.

Beautiful environment with great food and excellent beers. Highly recommended.

Lovely family meal and the staff were great

This spot is always a hit with my family!! My steak was cooked to perfection and so so tasty! Food is always top notch especially reccomend their fish. It is always so crispy and full of good meat. Excellent service with amazing tasty food. If you’re passing by it’s definitely worth a visit!!

Nice place, loads to choose from food and drink... shot bar is class. Staff are friendly and good secuirty staff. Business always goes above and beyond for Derry people.

Yesterday our group of 4 waited 20 minutes to be seated and in that time every other group who arrived after us got seated straight away. As we were about to sit down at our allocated table, a woman who came in after us demanded she wanted our table so we were made to move by staff to a dark table next to the noisy bar where the sounds of smashing glasses interrupt conversation. We then waited an hour and a half for our food whilst we watched others who came in after us get served and finish their meals. When we finally got served one of the members of our group didn’t receive her food for an additional 10 minutes. When their food finally came she took one bite before the waiter came and snatched the plate from her without an explanation and walked away. 10 minutes later he came back and explained they had given her chicken instead of veggie pasta! When we were finished I asked to use my student discount only to be told it was expired and wouldn’t work when that wasn’t true. I was fortunately able to get my discount after he asked another member of staff who told the waiter my student discount was perfectly fine to use? By the time we had paid we were the last ones in the restaurant and a female member of staff came to our table and told us to hurry up and leave as they were cleaning up. Bear in mind we had the table booked for 7pm and didn’t get served till 8:30pm, what nerve they had to tell us to hurry up?! My friends had buses home for 9pm and they all missed them due to the terribly slow and cheeky service from the staff.

Never come here! We booked a table for 4 of us at 7pm and the staff forgot about us and left us at the bar. We were then brought to our table and before we sat down, another customer complained about her table and stole our table? Meaning we were sat in a dark corner of the room. Our food took over an hour and a half to come and my food came 10 minutes after everyone else. Once my food arrived and I took a bite, our waiter then grabbed my food off me without explaining why while I was in the middle of eating it. It then turned out he gave me chicken pasta when I ordered vegetarian pasta but didn’t care to explain this to us The staff then ignored us when we tried to pay and he again was very rude and impatient with my friend who had a student discount. He said this wouldn’t work (it did work, great thinking!) and caused us stress. Then as we went to leave, another waitress came over and told us rudely to hurry up and leave as they were closing. This wouldn’t be an issue if you actually served us on time

Turkey dinner was pathetic The veg was rock hard Covered in gravy rather than the gravy being optional As for the fish It was like something you'd get in a cheap chip van badly undercooked despite me asking for it to be overcooked Most outrageous thing was the meal cost more than bishopsgate bar food or the Exchange

Food was lovely staff was young but they were good at their jobs. Did a good Guinness, too. Value for money was good too.

Took a while to get our table even though we had booked. Food arrived well before the drinks, which wasn't ideal. It took 3 staff to get our drinks order. Had the Guinness steak pie it was delicious.

It’s really delicious food . Everything perfect. Thanks again

Delicious lunch served by lovely helpful staff. Highly recommended !

Really enjoyed having dinner at The Bentley Bar. Our waitress, Cheryl was great! She provided some great recommendations for the fish of the day and Shepards pie; they were both delicious! On top of a great meal they included a free desert if you ate upstairs. We took them up on their offer and again the deserts were spectacular.

Had dinner here on Saturday 25th Nov, with my family for my 60th birthday. 21 of us. The staff were brilliant, went above and beyond and the service was great. No waiting on food or drinks. Had a wonderful evening. The Bentley supports Cystic Fybrosis charity, which we didnt know when booking so as my Grandson has CF we were delighted to dine there. Thank you all so much.

Fantastic pub for watching sports and just chatting w patrons. Fast, friendly service too. Hope to return and sample the menu

Was in on Saturday for the first time, a tough steak and poor slow service for it not being too busy

Worst experience ever at the Bentley last night. We had pre booked, and when we arrived it was very obvious staff were under a lot of pressure they were totally disorganised and didnot know what they were doing. We were shown to our table after 10 mins. We had to ask to order our drinks twice the waitress then came back to ask what wine we had ordered even though it was the only Rose on the menu. There was no sign of a manager anywhere. After 25 mins and asking 3 times to order our food and being blatantly ignored a waitress took our order. I advised we where attending a show and needed to leave by 7.30. At this point she informed us that she couldn't guarantee we would get our food on time as the kitchen was busy. If we had been advised on arrival we could have made a decision to go elsewhere. After another 10 mins a scruffy looking guy came to our table he didn't introduce himself so I can only assume he was the restaurant manager. He asked if there was an issue with the meal timing to which I advised yes if we had been informed at the start we could have gone elsewhere. I informed him as someone who has worked in the hospitalty industry I am well aware of industry standard timings to which he replied they dont work to industry standards. He stated we had upset his staff member and asked us to leave as he didn't like my attitude. We gladly left at this stage. The place was in chaos. Maybe his staff would have been happier and more efficient if he had been on the floor guiding them. We used to be regular visitors to this restaurant as the food was good and staff used to be so friendly. We will never be back and would advise the directors if they want to keep their business to train their staff in manners and customer service.

MYSELF AND 3 SISTERS ARRIVED AT 5 45 ,I HAD BOOKED A TABLE EARLIER FOR 6PM,TO BE TOLD THERE WASN'T A TABLE BOOKED AT ALL !!!! AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES A FELLA CAME OVER TO CHECK,HE SAID THAT I HAD BOOKED AND ONE OF THE GIRLS SAID TO ,FOLLOW HER WE HAD TO CLIMB TWO FLIGHTS OF STAIRS ( TWO OF MY SISTERS HAD MOBILITY PROBLEMS AND THE LIFT WAS OUT OF ORDER!!!! SHE THEN SHOWED US TO OUR TABLE,AND ALL I CAN SAY THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT " COULD FIT INTO IT WAS LEPRECHAUNS !!!!! WE ASKED TO GET MOVED TO ANOTHER TABLE THAT WAS ALSO SET FOR FOUR PEOPLE,AFTER CONSULTING WITH ANOTHER MEMBER OF STAFF SHE RELUCTANTLY LET US SIT DOWN !!!! FIRSTLY WE ORDERED A DRINK,THAT TOOK 20 MINUTES TO ARRIVE.THE SERVICE WAS SO,SO SLOW,FOR STARTERS AND MAIN MEAL , WE DIDN'T ORDER DESSERTS BECAUSE OF THIS.I KNOW IT WAS VERY BUSY ( AND THE STAFF" RUN OF THEIR FEET) IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME " EATING IN THE BENTLEY" AND UNFORTUNATELY IT WILL BE OUR LAST 😞

We went for a meal at the weekend and it was not very busy but we waited almost an hour to get the meal which was disappointing. One if the meals tasted of burnt, a young girl came and asked us was everything alright and we told her what was wrong with the food and she didn't know what to do so got someone else to take it from us. They replace the main dish but not the side which was not nice either as the garlics and all you could taste was grease. We used to go here all the time with top food and service but this has really put us off from going back.

Poor service. Haphazard. Disappointed ☹️

The Bentley is a grand spot for a beer, with a very lively atmosphere. The service is top notch (from Sinéad usually), and contributes to a memorable experience.

From booking the party with the Bentley, organising the party to the actual day of the party, the Bentley staff involved were so helpful, kind and considerate throughout! They really helped to make our sister’s birthday a lovely day to remember. The function room was a lovely room, perfect for our party size of 55 (with a bar in the room) and staff who were friendly and helpful to every guest- nothing was ever too much and their kindness and friendliness shone through. I’m not good at remembering names, but the members of staff that helped to make our sister’s party a great one (14th Oct)- thank you! I come to the Bentley for dinner as well- and it never disappoints! Food always goes down a treat, service with a smile and right in the city centre!

Had a quick bite before the big match, staff very friendly and helpful. Had the cod starter, was absolutely beautiful, will be back soon

Had a great meal with amazing service. Food was very good and great location. Plenary of seating in the bar or throughout the restaurant.

Food was delicious. Service was understandably slow due to being so busy but the staff was great and kept us informed on what was going on and kept the drinks coming while we waited on food. The steak was the best I have ever had. Perfect place for a romantic date night.

This is a great establishment! The food is amazing!!! The live music was amazing! This will be a must stop every time we visit Ireland!

Nice for a cheap meal and a drink.

The live music in here was great and the drink is very reasonably priced but the food was a let down. I ordered lasagne which was so over seasoned with salt I couldn't eat it after trying a few bites I gave up. The chips where very nice that was about it. Our friends arrived and placed an order waited over 45 mins lno food appeared there was a problem with the app so the order hadn't gone through to the kitchen. The waitress was very apologetic so they waited another 20 mins before the food arrived. They did complain when paying but it was just laughed off. Wil definitely be back for the live entertainment but not the food.

Love the Bentley. We have been now a few times for lunch and dinner and drinks. Great service and food lovely, big portions can't recommend enough.

Sun Sept 17 went to Badgers but they’d stopped serving food already and recommended The Bentley. So grateful they did. The service was perfectly timed and kind; the servers are hardworking and looked like they really work as a team. We had the classic burger and breaded chicken sandwich and both sooo flavorful, hot and fresh. The atmosphere was pub/bar, clean, relaxed and the right amount of lively. Highly recommend.

Sirloin steak was cooked perfect medium rare

Wow, top quality food, sirloin steak was cooked perfect medium rare, very friendly staff and great service looking around at our party of 8, very much everyone had cleared their plate. I honestly couldn't find fault. Have eaten here before, and will definitely be here in the future.

Unreal! Me and my boyfriend always go out to eat at the Bentley, It's our number one spot. There are so many options to choose from and everything I've tried has been lovely. It is a good price too and it includes a side with the main meals which many other restaurants/bars don't seem to do anymore. There are so many gluten free options available too.

Solito posto UK dove puoi mangiare per sedare la necessità di calorie. Non va oltre. Lenti. Pos fuori uso. In linea con cucina UK. Ma non mi aspettavo di piu

Had a wonderful meal staff were lovely good place for a meal

Nice food, large portions, usual price, good service. £4.60 for a large pepsi I thought was a bit excessive though.

Had a great night out for dinner with the girls here. Great food and service, overall great value for money.

Incredibly beautiful bar. Prices are good. Good atmosphere and service. The staff is friendly. I will definitely come every time I'm in Derry 😍🔥🤗

Was here for a meal in April of this year and was so impressed by the food, the service and the atmosphere that we decided to make a return visit yesterday. However, we definitely will not be rushing back again. The food was still amazing but the atmosphere was very different and the service for the most part was the worst we've ever encountered. The bar staff were great but the waitresses were appalling in their rudeness. They were abrupt and unfriendly. We almost felt we were in the way or something. We have never felt as unwelcome anywhere. There are plenty of lovely restaurants in Derry where the staff are good craic and make you feel at home and that's where we'll be going from now on.

Lovely restaurant and great food here. Well positioned just below the walls of Derry. Staff couldn't be more helpful. Very reasonable prices. Our second visit and we'll be back.

Good food but the organisation is very bad. I am a tour guide. I told to the people of my group that wanted that they could go there. They entered together. Some finished eating when some had not received yet what they ordered. I told that we had to go and they said that they have to pay or thfy call the police. And then there were 6 people of different families that where in two different table and they told that they had to pay all together. Really not good.

Nice food, service, decor, but service a little poor.

It deserves 5 stars in everything but I don't give it because there is always something to improve. Everything is correct without further ado, but very correct. If it has been there for so many years it will be for a reason.
