The Rocking Chair Bar, or ‘Rocker’ to the locals, is one of Derry’s most famous pubs in Derry. Located in the shadow of the famous Derry Walls and overlooking the Bogside, we have the atmosphere of a local with the energy of a pub in the heart of the city centre. The Rocking Chair Bar serves top quality food and the best pint of Guinness in Derry. Our staff know how to make a visitor welcome. Come in and see us, we’re the friendliest Bar in town.

We had a wonderful time with Noel our bartender who gave some very useful information about the local area and kept us... engaged with his charming disposition. It is because of Noel that I highly recommend The Rocking Chair Pub.read more
