The Bentley Bar in Derry

Second bad experience here. We booked for 6pm as we were going to a show in the millennium forum at 7.30. There were five of us. We were shown to our table and orders were being taken. We were only allowed to use one of the menus. The starter came. One of us had soup and the bread was to come later but never arrived. At 7.17 we had to give up and leave without eating, and we weren't the only ones either. Several other tables left. They apologised and said that they were busy but they took the booking so they should have been prepared. Unfortunately that was their last chance so we won't be back and would definitely not recommend eating here.

The staff are very attentive. The food is lovely. From Burgers, to Lasagna, to chicken escalope, to the battered fish of the day. The alcoholic beverage deals are very good. We will definitely be back the next time that we are in the Maiden City.

Head waiter very professional and great service

Having been in various pubs in Derry and experienced great hospitality- was very disappointed with the "welcome" at this establishment . So unlike the ambiance which the city is famous for. Definitely one to avoid in the future.

good we spot de have a bite de est but there was like a thing im my food that looked like an eye ball but apart from that it was leful!

an hour wait for food got veg and asked for none, forgot my garlics and also bad service

It was a great place with good food and nice drinks.

Good food but totally let down by the fact they don't offer diet coke/coke. They offer pepsi max which isn't to everyone's taste. I definitely wouldn't go back due to the lack of mixers. I don't mind paying more for the mixer I like, lack of choice totally will make me avoid this place, which is a pity as used to be great.

One of the best places to eat in Letterkenny

Amazing food with great flavors,kind staff

Best steak and Guinness pie I've ever had!

Service a little long but delicious meal.

Very loud music on the second floor drowned out the music on the third floor where we ate. Service was not great.

Was in yesterday chips wear bad fish wasn't cooked they need new chef in there badly won't b back

Amazing bar for lunch and dinner and the boss is very friendly. Best onion rings of my life

Lovely place to eat- fantastic service. Staff were really helpful. I will definitely recommend and will be back.

This Irish pub has a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a casual meal for lunch or a relaxed night out. The cozy interior, dim lighting, and friendly staff create a welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger.

Great food, staff spoke to us also

Great refuelling stop. Huge portions and good value.

Bar staff member Taylor is absolutely fantastic, Ronan brilliant, first time in Derry and will be back to the Bentley. Definitely a home from home 🏡 Stephen and Catriona Belfast💚

Beef was chewy in the asian beef noodles. It was over citrusy. Definitely not the best asian noodles I had. My friend's burger looked better. Frank's hot wings were not bad. Not the nicest place to dine in especially in the winter. A little dark and cold, but I guess it is just a pub.

Went in for my birthday on sat the 8th of Feb. Had the rack of ribs an they were so tough I left half of it .the waiter asked was everything ok ..well obviously by wat was left no his reply was il let the chef know. So to cheer myself up I ordered coconut sponge an wen it came out it was stone cold as was the creme anglaise. Very disappointed .

We called in the Bentley for a bite to eat and I had the Bentley belly buster burger, my partner had the louisana chicken, service was good, friendly staff and our food was brought out quick The louisana was a bit lame as it was literally a small fillet of chicken loads of sauce and tobacco onions on the top... Bit bland and not very much of it My burger was lovely with additional small portion of pepper sauce Garlic fries wer lovely but not enough garlic butter at all on them Yes we would be back just gotta try more things on the menu

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!

Brilliant value for money and night life is great

Lovely meal...though garlic potatoes a little tastless

Server was really friendly and very helpful. Food was second to none 😋 Thank you! Claire, Kathryn and Nuala, Co Longford

Lost a driving licence staff so helpful Wk later I was able to lift it Thankyou Aoife

Staff were super friendly.Food was fantastic.

We took the wrong bus and had an hour to wait.. found this lovely little pub just down the street. Friendly folks, cold drinks, everyone was happy :)

Great food and pints. Quick service and staff with a smile

Had a superb dinner tonight in The Bentley. Wish I was staying in Derry for longer so that I could return tomorrow. Food, service and atmosphere excellent.

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.

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!!

Excellent service and amazing friendly atmosphere very good night

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

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”

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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

Lovely family meal and the staff were great

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

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.
