OUR WORLD FAMOUS ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT BARBEQUES
Most nights during summer we offer 'all you can eat' barbeques (burgers, sausages, chicken wings, veggie burgers, bread, sauces, etc). Cost is just 3 pounds and of course the craic is mighty. These usually lead onto our organized pub crawls. Fun. Fun. Fun.
PUB CRAWLS
Most nights a member of staff will round up those who are interested and take them out on a rollicking Irish pub crawl. We usually head for the pubs offering the best cheap drinks promotions, then head onto the live music pubs or clubs. This is a great way to get out and meet the locals. Derry people are renowned for being very friendly and this is a great way to meet them or hang out with other backpackers.
FREE DERRY TOURS
Every day organized political walking tours of the Bogside, run by the acclaimed Free Derry Tours, leave from close to our hostel. These are tours conducted by local people from the Bogside, giving you a unique first-hand insight into the sad events of Bloody Sunday, the Battle of the Bogside, the many political murals and life in Derry during the troubles.

ALADIN'S CAVE
Over the last few years we traveled to many exotic places, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey , Morocco, Syria, Egypt, to name but a few, and from these travels we have brought back lots of bits and pieces to decorate our hostels.. We have transformed our dining room into a virtual Aladdin�s Cave with low tables and low seats, lots of beautiful hangings, and many amazing artifacts scattered around the room. You will be transported to another time and another place.
This after all, if you are a traveler is where you want to be.
