Lock & Quay

You'll find Lock & Quay tucked into the Shipquay Hotel, right in the heart of the walled city's most characterful street. It's the kind of place where you can nurse a decent drink without feeling like you've wandered into a tourist trap—though visitors are welcome enough. The bar has that lived-in quality that comes from actual regulars coming back, and the 4.4-star rating suggests they're doing something right with their pours and their banter. Shipquay Street itself is where Derry's best independent spots cluster, so you're in good company.
