1. Walled City Brewery

The guys over at Walled City Brewery have something very special planned for the Walled City Brewery this weekend. The Taproom is being taken over by Winifred the Witch, and it's becoming her very own "Witch House".

Open all weekend, with shows on Saturday, Sunday and Monday 31st from 6pm - 9pm, watch Winifred concoct wicked brews in the WCB Cauldron, cast magic spells over the children and tell stories of yore of how the witches were the ORIGINAL brewers of beer.

And there's no need to book, they accept walk-ins.

2. Soda and Starch

Based in the Craft Village, something exciting is brewing here at Soda and Starch.

The Family run bistro serves local produce for lunch and dinner, cooked over charcoal which is sure to bewitch and cast a spell on your taste buds.

Opened additional hours for Halloween, the chef-owned business is serving its very own fiendish menu.

3. Bishop Gate Hotel

As well as offering a spooky Halloween afternoon tea, the Bishop Gate Hotel is offering people grub throughout the spooktacular weekend.

Place right at the heart of the Awakening of the Walled City trail, there's something for everybody at the Luxury boutique hotel.

However, it would be best to book fast as tables are filling up quite quickly at the city centre spot.

4. Badgers Bar and Restaurant

Highly regarded Badgers Bar and Restaurant is one of the most sought places to catch a bit to eat in the city centre.

Famous nowadays for being the Derry Girls pub, due to the fact that a mural of Erin, Orla, Clare, Michelle, and James has been painted on the back of the pub, 'Badgers' is ideal for people wanting to eat in the city centre.

5. Quaywest Winebar and Resturant

Located in one of the city‘s most historic buildings – a landmark on the banks of the Foyle – Quaywest offers unrivalled food, service and atmosphere.

Their food menu offers a wide range of fusion European dishes, with perfect setting for an intimate, romantic date or a lively, sociable gathering. It's one of the best places to be for top quality food, drinks and live music.
