The Old Docks Bar & Grill

You're walking along Queens Quay on a decent evening and you clock The Old Docks — it's got that working riverside energy that makes Derry's waterfront actually feel alive. Inside, exposed brick and dim lighting create a proper grown-up atmosphere without being pretentious about it. The kitchen does grilled steaks and fish that don't mess about; they're straightforward, well-executed, and come at prices that won't have you eyeing up the bill with regret. It's the kind of place where locals actually eat, not just tourists passing through.
