Quick info
About Daly's Bar & Bistro
Daly's Bar & Bistro is a restaurant on Racecourse Rd in Londonderry, serving a menu with plenty of variety across the week. The kitchen turns out recurring dishes like the 16oz stack burger, the chicken fillet burger, and the pepper steak open sandwich, alongside calamari as a starter. There's no booking system, so tables are taken on a walk-in basis, and a wait can build up when the room is busy, though the main bar area gives arriving parties somewhere to have a drink while they wait. Large groups are accommodated, with parties of up to 15 seated and no added service charge applied even at that size. The entrance is step-free and wheelchair accessible, and high chairs are available for families with young children. It opens Wednesday to Sunday, closing Mondays and Tuesdays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the friendly, attentive staff, who are praised in nearly every review, including for steering one diner to a calamari special that was called the best they had ever had. The food comes next, described as excellent, delicious and reasonably priced, with the 16oz stack burger, a chicken fillet burger and a pepper steak open sandwich all named, and one party of 15 reporting lots of clean plates. Several mention an extensive menu with plenty of variety, and one liked that no service charge was added for a large group on a busy Sunday. The main drawback is the wait when the place is busy. One reviewer without a booking describes a long delay for a table, and another says it was a very busy spot. Even so, one regular says they always feel looked after when busy, and another spent the wait having drinks at the main bar before returning after the meal for the music.

“Good food, reasonably priced and friendly service. We were a party of 15 and all enjoyed the food. Lots of clean plates. It was also nice that there was no added service charge, even though we were a large group on a busy Sunday. (Of course we left a nice tip for the good service). Will definitely return.”
