peadar o'donnells bar

Had two great nights in o Donnells bar in Derry at the weekend,it was packed but staff were well up to looking after the crowd, music was as good as you would get anywhere, but on like Dublin they did not rip of people, keep it up o Donnells hope to be back soon.

Great atmosphere, interesting items all over, nice staff and a good pint. Loved it and everyone was so friendly and happy to chat. There are loads of flags on the ceiling; Spain, Germany, Wales, Norway, even Bangladesh, but no English flag. Considering the number of English visitors that go there it would be nice to see the cross of St George on the ceiling-maybe I should take one next time I visit.

A brilliant traditional Irish pub in the city centre of derry,great live Irish music sessions every night,top class musicians,very friendly bar staff who have a wealth of local knowledge,some great local characters in the pub who will make you feel very welcomeA very well run pub,bright and lively P.s the guinness is quality

Seems to be a popular spot. It was packed but some kind locals made room at a table. Drinks came quickly. The bar has lots of random stuff hanging all over, which gives it a lot of character.

We met family and friends in her for a catch up, brilliant pub with great music, lots of history in here, love it.

You can't go wrong with visit to Peadar O'Donnells Bar. We were recommended by a patron at Badgers. They pour a good pint and provide local entertainment. Sit outside or inside at the bar. Really cool place if you're looking for a traditional Irish bar experience.

We visited Peadar O'Donnells for one pub evening at the recommendations of Eli at the Abbey B&B. We were not disappointed. Stayed til close and walked home- very satisfied having a taste of true Irish Pub Music washed down with a few Guinesses. The Barman was one of the most efficient I have ever seen and took time to have a chat while providing quick service for everyone. As we were only in Derry for one night we couldn't return but will definitely return on our next trip to Ireland

There needs to be more stars when rating this place. Amazing does not even cover it. Just back home from a 2 week holiday to Derry and me and the girls were there nearly every night. BEST pub EVER! Loved the atmosphere, drinks, people, bartenders, security workers, and awesome live Irish music that was performed nightly. Even meeting the owner who was behind the bar a couple of the nights serving drinks with a smile on his face. When you think of an Irish pub this is exactly what I think of. Quiet with locals during the day where you can sit around and have a chat, and Irish music that gets the blood pumping where you just want to get up and dance an Irish jug, even if you are not Irish. This is one place that I would highly recommend as a must for all travelers. You would be missing out on a great experience if you skipped it.

From the staff to the local patrons, this bar is a winner. We stayed in Derry for 2wks with frequent visits to Peadar's and experienced it from quiet to crazy. This is the kind of pub you see in the minds eye when someone describes a pub to you in Ireland with beer glasses full of the finest stout and feet stomping to great Irish tunes.

A real Irish pub, real irish music, real irish people. Lot of people inside, normally, but it's impossible stay out! Rebel songs, pint of beer, perfect evening!

We had an enjoyable monday night. A traditional band played with a good female singer but the music was a bit sad.The drinks were not overpriced and as far as I could tell it was all a local clientele, I presume from the Bogside, all lovely people. I loved the Australian flag with the union jack part replaced with a tricolour. Its clear where you are in Derry!

Everytime we visit Derry we end up here and it's always friendly with traditional Irish music with great service and sometimes very busy

Visited recently on a Thursday in March which appeared not to be the high season in Derry, to say the least, but enjoyed our drink at Peadar O'Donnells. Really interesting decor; note the many separatist and resistance group flags (Quebecois, Basque, etc) hanging from the ceiling - definitely carries some interesting weight in this part of the world!

Great couple of days spent in Derry and loved this bar. Wonderful atmosphere, music and great craic. Will definitely be back. Amazing staff, especially Vivienne and Jackie!

Always come here for a good night out. I'm here a few times a month. Great atmopshere, great music, great people. If your visiting Derry you should definitely stop off here.
