  “I was in here recently on a Sunday and the food/ service was shockingly bad. There was a total of four customers in the place and the food took an hour to come out and when it did come out it was awful. The steak was overdone and the goujons were dry and chewy. I would have alerted the staff to this but they sat in a corner chatting the whole time and didnt even come to check if we needed anything or if the food was ok. We wanted the bill however they never approached us so we went to the bar to pay and the staff continued talking with eachother for another few minutes before coming over. Unsurprisingly they didnt ask if the food was ok etc they just really didnt care and it showed.”

  “Ordered a smash burger, but the patties were everything but smashed. Tasted okay though. Chips could have been a bit crispier. Service lacked a bit that day. 3/5 - müsst ihr selber wissen.”

  “Called in today, ordered a Guinness then spoke to the barman when I asked to order food, then he told me to leave as it was a private event for the GAA although others were eating, I then asked about my Guinness and he asked me to leave and he will give it to someone else. There was plenty of other seats available to sit at, totally disgraceful just because I had an English accent and the bar full of GAA Players. Money is money, its not about religion or faith. Avoid this discriminatory bar if you visit.”

  “We went here for drinks as we knew there would be live music. The music was good and the atmosphere was good. However, when my friend was ordering a round of drinks, the young lady behind the bar took her existing drink and threw it away by mistake. Another lady behind the bar then became quiet aggressive and rude when my friend asked for her drink to be replaced. We were standing at the bar and on two separate occasions, staff behind the bar took our drinks, thinking they were gone, and when this was raised with them, they just shrugged their shoulders. Not friendly at all.”

  “The food was so tasty! The staff were all so lovely, especially Jude the barman who had everyone laughing. The way the bottomless brunch works is, it is £30pp and you get one meal choice (I've uploaded a menu to see). Then you have unlimited prosecco glasses for up to 2 hours. You are then moved to a reserved table in the outside/inside dinning area. The downside I'd say is, you have no desert option unless you pay extra, which isn't bad if you are drinking enough. Otherwise, £30 is a bit much. The other major downside is, although you apparently have a table reserved, you don't have it for long (which you are not warned about). We still hadn't finished our extra drinks we'd bought and we were told we have to move. We left after this. Although the food was very nice, I'd not be in a rush back. I probably should mention the fact we'd paid a £50 deposit that wasn't taken from our bill. We had to dispute it and show proof of this. So if you are going, bring proof of your deposit and check your bill.”

  “We dined in The Thirsty Goat, Derry on a Thursday evening in August with kids. Reasonable choice of dishes quite moderately priced. Service was attentive, swift and friendly. Kids were offered toys to play with and got sweets when the bill was received at table. Good portions and nice food. Good atmosphere. Pleasant experience.”
