Walled City Brewery in Derry

Had the brewery tour with Colum, great experience, so informative and beer was great, will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

The food was beautiful, the selection of own brewed pints was great and Renee’s service was top class. 100% will return. Also great value for money!

Just finished a meal in the Walled City Brewery. Booked it for my wife's birthday, 2st time dining here. We had the great pleasure of being served by Niall, a very friendly, informative young man that was passionate about the food and drinks being offered by the establishment. His recommendations where spot on, loved the steak and the chicken. The squid and wings where to die for. Thanks for a great night. "Vive la 🇫🇷".

Had an absolutely amazing meal here tonight Niall was fantastic very helpful and friendly as were all the staff. Such a relaxed atmosphere and great value for money. Beer was fantastic too 👌 Will definitely be back.

Beautiful food and cocktails. Especially enjoyed the pork dumpling starter & fish taco main! Lovely & friendly staff who were very attentive and gave great recommendations. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Brought a tour there yesterday and they loved the food and the drink. Staff were great to deal with.

One of the best meals I've ever had in my life. Excellent beer too!

Very average food and quite expensive. Side dishes costing extra even with the mist expensive mains. Overall experience not a patch on the meal we had last night at the Shipquay restaurant.

Had the steak last night and it was absolutely beautiful. Staff were fantastic too. Highly recommend

Really great food and friendly service. Highly recommend the burger, very succulent and tasty. Cocktails are good, beer is fantastic.

Tourists with kids - avoid this place. Wish I could comment on their beer, but after being on the waitlist for dinner and arriving fully prepared to just have a pint in the taproom they refused to seat us because we had our 11 month old with us at 8pm. We're American and 7 hours behind timezones. I was prepared for 9 and 10 to be the cutoff for kids (they said 7 is customary locally), and this hasn't been an issue anywhere else we visited in the two weeks we've been in country. We took our business down the street to the Enbrington where we had a lovely meal and several other kids were present.

Does not disappoint, the service is amazing, all the staff are super friendly, the food was amazing especially the steak. Can’t come to Derry without visiting 🙌🏼

We knew about the Walled City Brewery before visiting Derry, but what we didn't know was that they have very limited hours. During our stay, Monday - Thursday they are only open for a small window between 5-8:30pm. We decided not to go the brewery tour, so I can't comment on if it is worthwhile, but I think I would try doing it next time if we ever were to go back to Derry. The brewery has a full restaurant which has fantastic reviews and was also recommended by our friend who has gone before. We weren't hungry yet for dinner, so we opted to just visit the Taproom. The Taproom is also very cool and has a great vibe with interesting artwork. What we really liked about this brewery was it felt like a craft brewery and offered a lot of variety in their beers. It was the first place that we found that offered a sour beer, they had a wit beer, and they even had a hard seltzer (which honestly wasn't very good unless you like gin drinks). We enjoyed a few drinks and the music for a hour or so before deciding on dinner.

You have got to try their beer. The Derry milk stout was my favourite.

Great tour , great beer, great food and great craic, we'll be back 👍not often I can say that for vegetarian food so well done chef 😁

Reservamos viendo la puntuación pero sin leer las opiniones. Después de leerlas pensamos que quizás nos habíamos equivocado. Pero no fue así! Quien dice que la comida no es nada especial desde nuestro punto de vista se equivoca. Pedimos un entrante, el hummus y fue una sorpresa, era un hummus muy original y realmente sabroso. Luego pedimos dos principales la suprema de pollo y el steak. Ambos platos estaban increíbles. La salsa de setas de la suprema estaba magnífica con un sabor suave y a la vez notando perfectamente el sabor de las setas. La col de debajo del Suprême estaba muy buena el puré de acompañamiento también suave y muy original. Todos los sabores se coordinaba muy bien y ninguno sobrepasaba al otro la verdad un gustazo de plato y el pollo sorprendentemente jugoso cuando es algo que suele estar bastante seco. El steak estaba en su punto, perfecto pues lo habíamos pedido bastante crudo. Venía acompañado con una salsa de pimienta que sabía muchísimo pimienta y picaba lo justo, una mantequilla de ajo negro, exquisita y un puré de zanahorias suave que ligaba todo en una sinfonía de sabores genial. Los aromas de las brasas eran perfectamente apreciables en la carne. Por último, las dos cervezas artesanales muy buenas aunque la favorita fue claramente la Stitch!! Una Indian Pale Ale muy aromática y con profundos sabores a lúpulo! Desde luego si volvemos a Derry, repertiremos

We came for the brewery tour and had a great time tasting the beers also a very good informative guide on the beer making process. The burger included was also very good.

Gorgeous! Beautiful, top quality food and flavours. Staff are very accommodating and friendly. Gem of a place!

Really nice ambiance - very friendly staff, food was delicious and serving was so generous too! Will definitely come back here! Thank you

Amazing experience from start to finish! We started with drinks, a beer flight and a cocktail. Both were amazing, you can tell they really care about flavour. For our meal, we had hummus and chicken wings, both delicious and a good size. For the main course we had the dhal which was delicious and mu husband upgraded to the 12oz sirloin steak which he said was out of this world and cooked to medium rare perfection. Finally we had dessert, the whole reason I booked this restaurant chocolate dairy free cheesecake with ice-cream 11/10. My husband had the fondant another success! During the meal we ordered a 2nd round of drinks, a pineapple gin and a pint of the passion fruit beer. Sadly we were unable to purchase and if these to take away with us, but they will live on in our memory. Do not hesitate, reserve a table!!!

I booked the taste and tour and wasn’t really sure what to expect but it was excellent. The host, Colm, was great craic and very knowledgeable about the brewing process and the beers on offer. We really enjoyed being able to taste beers that were still brewing and also being able to pour our own samples at the bar. My girlfriend isn’t a big beer lover but Colm was able to advise which beers she might like. And she really enjoyed everything that was recommended. We had a great time and would recommend it to anyone

Great food! Loved the squid and the deep fried dumplings. Massive portions, had to have a lie down after two course meal from this place. The staffs have been very kind and helpful. Laura had a beautiful smile and always looked after us very well. Definitely worth coming to. Bonus that the place is next to a stunning bridge.

Excellent beer best in the city

Great beers, all brewed in house, great food and wonderful staff, I highly recommend it

Excellent small little brewery, The IPA was well balanced with the hoppiness you would expect in a IPA ( quite a few IPAs in Ireland seem to be very light on the hop bitterness). Friendly bar tender, nice variety of beers on tap. Super packed on a Saturday night, reservation strongly required for food/restaurant area as award winning food. Upscale food looked delicious, would dress up a bit if eating at restaurants. Great decorations and atmosphere. Outdoor seating available. Totally recommend a visit.

Pleasant bar-restaurant across the river, in Derry, North Ireland

The food here is amazing as well as the local beers. It’s definitely worth the trip over the bridge to visit this gem!

Food was great, the craft beers were superb and the service was excellent

Without Carla assisting us, this would’ve been, at most, a 1 star review. We didn’t have a reservation and they made a big fuss about it. Telling us to return at 9 pm (closing time is 10?). Upon our return, there were still open seats from earlier… No problem, we ordered the two course and three course meal. Appetizers were great. We had the Korean chicken wings. But the real star of the show were the dumplings. If this review was solely based on this dish, it’d be a 5/5, easily. The puffy crust, the umami flavor, this chef really worked some magic on this. If I could go back, I’d stop there. Unfortunately, we also had the ‘perfectly pink’ steak, that came out cold. And mostly flavorless. I get that you combine this dish with the mushroom umami spread, but nothing pairs well when your entree is cold. And the cheeseburger. This is the second burger we ordered this visit, and I’ll say, skip burgers altogether because you won’t be missing anything. Same as our steak, burger came out cold. The patty was thick but flavorless and dry. On another note, if this restaurant/brewery is touted as Michelin chef ran, why don’t they enforce deodorant on their staff? It might just be a cultural thing but aromas being as important as they are in gastronomy, it should be considered at the very least. The whiff of sweaty, revolting body odor was the biggest offense during our meal. We couldn’t even stomach taking a bite without inhaling someone’s entire day of sweat and grim with a quick pass. Our original server was inattentive and left promptly at 10 without a word to us. We asked for ketchup 3 separate times and it wasn’t until another server, Carla, came by to actually serve us that we received it. She is a superstar. Carla helped us get sorted for the remainder of our visit. We could easily tell she was waiting her tables and picking up the slack for everyone else too. Thanks Carla, you really redeemed this experience for us.

Delicious food and a wide selection of beers. I could not recommend this brewery enough.

Absolutely beautiful food, really good, friendly service & good vibes! The drinks were also very good! I had the fish cake & sea bass (pics attached) and my husband had chicken wings & steak. Each plate better than the last - our sincere compliments to the Chefs :) Will definitely be recommending and returning!

Great food, great staff, great prices and great atmosphere.

Great food and phenomenal bartender. Had the best Manhattan (cocktail) outside of Manhattan. Still savoring it four weeks later. The kid knows what he's doing!

Very unfriendly place. Everything is private here The beer is awful, ipa with bubblegumtaste. This will not last long

We had a quick bite here before heading to the airport home. Service and food on point. We had Seabass, Lentils, Squid and Fish cake. Everything was so tasty and fresh and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Was a nice little find and will certainly be back the next time we visit Derry

Excellent venue and restaurant slightly off-centre. Very pleasant environment, modern and at the same time in the spirit of the place, wide choice of beers, typical cuisine of above average quality.

Great selections of beers and good food.

Great beers. Service was alright. Seemed like we can on their lunch break as all the servers sat down to eat when we were ready for the check.

We did the taste and tour, I think our guides nam was Colm/Colin and he was excellent.10/10. Lots of interesting facts, very friendly and very funny. He made the tour even more enjoyable. Nothing was 2 much hassle and was happy to answer all questions and allow you to try different beers. 1 pint of beer and then a little tray with 3 tasters. Which you pull urself behind the bar, added to the experience. staff very friendly and great atmosphere. We will 100% be back..

Great food and great beer selection! Not just IPAs, but very nice dark choices and sours and pale ales!!!

Nice place but the food was just ok and our waitress was not attentive at all. She was just standing around doing nothing or chatting with other wait staff while we waited and waited..... first to have our drink order taken... then to order food... then to get the check. We were never asked if we wanted dessert. That would have taken another hour so we didn't even bother trying.

Had to wait ten minutes to have our drinks served to us. All 4 of us agreed that the beers tasted off, when we spoke to the staff they repoured the beer in question and declared it was our taste rather than the chance the beer was off or lines weren’t clean. Beer shouldn’t taste like eggy broccoli

The fish cake and flatiron steak are exquisite!

Excellent visit to the Walled City Brewery - the food and drinks were excellent, service was absolutely spot on. They offer great gluten free options too. Well worth a visit, we will be back!

We had lunch in the kitchen as well as attending the beer masterclass. The food was fantastic and good value for money. The masterclass was both incredibly informative and great craic. The range of beers for tasting really great too. Highly recommend for a fun afternoon as a couple, family or group!

The staff were very friendly. The bar staff took time to explain the different craft beers and asked us questions to ascertain what craft beers that they brewed that would perhaps suit our tastes. Great location. We stayed to eat & the food was really good quality; Seabass, cheeseburger, chicken wings & fishcake, yum.

Absolutely top notch place to visit in Derry. My girlfriend and I saw about this place online and decided to pay a visit. We booked for the Beer Master Class. We were welcomed by very friendly staff and brought through to the Taproom, and we were introduced to the head brewer Josh. Josh is a local guy and really knows his stuff. The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. His knowledge of the history of beer as well as everything was very educational and fun too. During the class, we got to enjoy several beers, and we were given a nice tasty snack from the kitchen with some lovely flatbread and hummus too. Thoroughly enjoyed the beer Masterclass and I would recommend it to anyone. Thankfully, we also had the sense to book in for some food in the restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious. We were so impressed with the food that after we finished our meal, we made a booking for the next day! I would 100% recommend The Walled City Brewery as a place to visit for anyone that is visiting Derry. I cannot sing the praises of this place enough. I will definitely be making a return visit.

We had Beer Masterclass experience and ate in the restaurant. Masterclass was very interesting and informative and way exceeded our expectations as assessed from the website. Josh is a wealth of knowledge and a very good tutor! Having sampled a small snack provided during the tastings, we decided to dine in the bistro. We were not disappointed. Early bird menu is super value for money and the flavours and cooking are excellent. Will definitely return to the bistro on our next visit to the Maiden City.

We joined a brewery tour last minute, hosted by Andrew. Who was doing the tour for the first time. We had a great experience. Lots of interesting information and pouring your own beer float at the end was definitely the highlight. Will definitely come back here next time we visit the area.

Had a fab lunch with my friend today. Fab service from everyone; Nail, Orla, Columb, Aveen, Renee and Ellie were all fantastic. The pork and the pitta were both delicious! My friend absolutely enjoyed her food too! We will definitely be back 🥰

Delicious menu and great service. Tried the new veggie option even though I am not vegetarian and it was amazing - broccoli and beetroot. Laura looked after us so well and we had a great night. Thanks to all the team

Family dinner with 14 people many who had never been before. Food was excellent and staff were attentive. Everyone said they will be back. Thank you

Went for lunch with my wife and we were both hugely impressed. It’s only a very small menu , but is all the better for it . Beautifully cooked chicken supreme with an amazing celeriac purée that was Michelin standard. Vietnamese chicken wings and fish tacos were also top notch Best food in the area. Can’t wait to return

Staff are amazing. We done a taste tour of the brewery yesterday and they were so accommodating! Josh was so passionate about the brewery and we had a good laugh. The food was great and they honoured an old voucher for us. Will 100% be back.

Did the beer tasting tour. Excellent couple of hours, very informative, friendly and of course got to try some great beers, the burger and chips afterwards were very good and a perfect way to finish off. Would recommend this to anyone and will return later in the year when we have some friends from England visiting.

The food and drinks are top notch. They managed to fit us in despite not having a booking on Saturday. The beer selection is great and beer flights a nice option to try a few. The food was also so delicious and great value with a brilliant offer running this month. We got the flat iron steak and pork steak fillet, and chocolate fondant dessert. Compliments to all the kitchen and waiting staff for a lovely experience.

Really good food, nice selection across the menu. Starters, mains, desserts were all excellent. Only tried the Foyles brown ale which was very good, can only assume the rest are good too. All the staff were very friendly, attentive and efficient. Definitely worth a visit and also fabulous value.

Great place, highly recommend! Nice diverse beer selection. Had a flight and all were really solid. Food was excellent. Some of the best I've ever had in any brewery. Great spot. Must go to if you are in the area.

Stopped in for a beer with my wife… ended up staying for more than one and a sumptuous 3 course meal. Great service, great food and great value. Thanks to Niall for his recommendations on the fantastic house beers… the Foyster is just epic.

Went to the Gin experience and had a blast. Have been to 2 other gin experiences but this was by far the best. Getting to know all about gin and getting to make your own blend was fabulous. We tried 4 gin cocktails and a gin shot all included in the price. Got to meet 6 other people and the craic was mighty. A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Ps eat well before you go to soak up the alcohol

I can not recommend the Tour and Taste Experience at The Walled City Brewery highly enough. I love my craft beers and loved the behind the scenes insight. I went to this experience by myself but Colm was fantastic and made me feel at ease from the get go and it was such a friendly atmosphere with the others on the tour. Excellent value for money with the opportunity to sample plenty of their brews and brilliant experience! Dinner afterwards in their restaurant was exceptional and such good value - 2 courses for £20 and 2 for 1 on some drinks too! Thank you so much to all the staff for making it such a fun and comfortable solo experience! Xx

We were there for the Taste and Tour experience. Fantastic. Great beer, venue, staff and a fantastic restaurant after the tour. Colum the tour guide was excellent.

We were at WCB for the Taste and Your experience, followed by eating in the restaurant. The venue, beer, food and especially the staff were excellent.

Fantastic locally owned restaurant / bar / brewery. Great beer, super staff and delicious food.

Amazing selection of craft beers and exquisite food. Excellent service. Will come back. I recommend the IPA, dumplings and burger.

Great spot. Done the beer masterclass, great craic and very informative. Josh was well educated and versed in his field.

You immediately notice that a chef who has worked in star restaurants works here. Top food and atmosphere. Class!

I went here recently with a group of girls to celebrate a friends wedding. I was so impressed. The staff couldn’t have been nicer. The food was amazing, some of the best I have had out in NI for a while. And it was so reasonably priced. I highly recommend and would love to go back.

The service was first class as all the staff were incredibly polite and helpful. Definitely deserved a tip. That being said the food we had wasn’t at the same standard. We both had the burger and both agreed that it was a bit dry, tasteless,...

My brother and I went on the tasting tour; I couldn't recommend this tour enough! Niall had such great knowledge of all the beers and history around Derry. I wasn't expecting to be able to try barely and taste beers right from the fermentation tanks....

Cheerful and lively brewery. Great choice of local beers and fantastic food!!! I highly recommend stopping by to taste the delicacies. Our waitress Susanna was always attentive and polite to our every request, all the staff at the venue were fantastic! I highly recommend trying their herb gnocchi ...! You can reach it from the centre with a relaxing 10 min walk along the bridge of peace, taking the opportunity to discover a different view of the city.

This place really has improved so much. Stellar all round awesome. Great staff and amazing grub. Recommend Kicks Lager.

Really enjoyed the beer masterclass. James the owner ran it and he is really personable and interesting and knowledgeable about all things brewing. The food and drink here is always good, had a burger after the masterclass and it was yummy. Stayed for a few drinks too - they really know how to brew (and serve) a good pint, and service is great as ever!

Locale molto accogliente e vivace. Tutto lo staff è super gentile, e la nostra cameriera Susanna è stata fantastica! La scelta di birre locali è ottima. Il cibo è eccezionale. Provate gli gnocchi! La qualità prezzo è ottima. Locale che vale la pena di visitare, approfittando di una breve e suggestiva camminata sul "The peace bridge". Vivamente consigliato, non ne rimarrete delusi

One of our absolute favourites in Derry. Would go a few times a year at different times and never disappoints. The food is exceptional regardless of whether it's a winter or summer menu. The staff are always so welcoming and friendly. They always take the...

Brilliant. Very good value. Niall, the host, was an absolute diamond. Knew his stuff. Very friendly. 11/10. Would go again.

Lovely server Elle. All the staff are lovely. Food is absolutely amazing. The beef cheek is highly recommended as is the pana cotta. Lovely atmosphere and setting.

With a family of 4, two teenagers, and had a fantastic meal. Quick and very nice service. We are in from USA, and appreciated their kindness and great service food

I went on the Tour and Taste with 4 friends. We loved it. Great explanation of the beer making process from Niall and then loads of tasting! Finished visit with their burger and chips. I would highly recommend a visit. Hayden, Galway

Great way to kill a few hours in the Maiden City, our host Niall was great on his first tour! Highly recommend

Great night, excellent service. Thank you!

Colm was great and very knowledgeable, good value for money and tasty beers - all round enjoyable experience
