A Derry/Londonderry bar has been named U.K. Taproom of the Year - The Walled City Brewery beat over 600 other establishments to take the coveted prize.

The family-owned gastro pub located in Ebrington Square, first opened in 2015 and has since been a popular hangout spot in the city for both locals and tourists alike.

When the news broke that the Derry bar was named U.K. Taproom of the Year, the team dedicated the award to the "amazing city" that inspires it.

Over the past six years, they have developed hundreds of unique varieties of beers, that's just one of the reasons the pub won the award.

Their website reads: "From our opening in May 2015 we have created and developed over 200 different varieties of beers, each named after an aspect of the which is easily recognisable to our locals and tourists! There is beer for Lager Lovers, Super Stouts, Fruity Frank's to Sour Sam's there's a beer here for anyone.

"We pride ourselves on providing a uniquely local experience to all of our guests, from our one of a kind craft beer, to our bold yet delicious menu, each and every experience shows what our little town truly has to offer."
