Blackbird
Great beer tastes better when it’s served with great music, and this is exactly what you get when you visit Blackbird on Foyle Street. Local bands perform live on stage as you enjoy craft brews from Rough Brothers, Northbound and more (as a free house, there’s a rotating draft beer selection), while Irish spirits rub shoulders with exotic concoctions on the cocktail menu. Dancing isn’t compulsory at Blackbird, but soon you find yourself tapping and swaying. Before you know it, you’re busting some pretty LegenDerry moves.
