Authentic American BBQ

Not Just Food.
An Experience.

Nestled in the heart of Derry City Centre, The Dirty Souls is where slow-smoked meats, bold Southern flavours and unfiltered character collide. Every rack of ribs, every brisket, every plate of Nashville hot chicken is crafted with obsession — low and slow, the way it was always meant to be.

Slow Smoked Meats

Real wood. Real smoke. Real time. We don't rush greatness — our meats are smoked for hours until they reach something close to perfection.

II

Craft Drinks

A carefully chosen selection of craft beers and signature cocktails — built to wash down every smoky, saucy, soul-satisfying bite.

III

Real Character

No chains, no gimmicks. Honest, fearless BBQ with a swagger that keeps Derry coming back for more.

"Best restaurant in town & the only one that does spicy well."
