George's Bar
Bishop Street, Derry
Good Craic Guaranteed

A Derry
Institution

Right in the centre of town on Bishop Street, George's Bar is wall-to-wall nostalgia — the kind of old-school pub with a story to tell from floor to ceiling. Under new management but still the same welcoming spot, our staff and locals will make sure you feel right at home, whether you're in for a quiet pint or a big match.
