Overview
This is not your average pub crawl. Sunday Sips is a slow, flavour-filled wander through Derry’s evolving drinks scene featuring an afternoon of spirited storytelling, curious sipping, and local discovery.
Along the way, you’ll meet the makers, hear their stories and learn how Derry’s past and present shape what ends up in your glass.
Expect warm hospitality, thoughtful tastings, and an experience that’s as much about culture, place, and people as it is about what’s poured.
This experience is perfect for you if:
• You’re curious about how drinks are made and where they come from
• You love food and drink with a story behind it
• You enjoy a relaxed, sociable setting with no rush or pressure
Join us as we visit a handpicked collection of independent venues, each offering something distinctive: Rooh Vodka cocktail at The Anchor Inn, a cocktail-making experience at O’Loughlin's Irish House, sample two Spanish wines paired with tapa-style pintxos bites, Redgate Cider with a seasonal snack at Stitch & Weave, and finishing with a beer flight tasting at Walled City Brewery.
