Stars in Your Eyes - Live Show at The Cosh Bar

At The Cosh Bar · Derry, Co. Derry
A Saturday night out at The Cosh Bar on Buncrana Road is reliably good value for entertainment, and Stars in Your Eyes looks to be one of those evenings that draws a proper crowd from across the city. This is a live show built around performance and spectacle - the sort of night that suits a group of friends after something different, or a couple looking for a lively night out rather than the usual weekend pub round. The Cosh is well used to pulling this off.
The Cosh Bar has earned a reputation as one of Derry’s go-to venues for live entertainment since opening in 2013 - it won Northwest’s Pub of the Year in 2024 and runs a calendar of tribute nights, comedy, and themed live shows across its two floors. Stars in Your Eyes follows in that tradition: a live performance evening running from 7:30pm through to midnight, promising a high-energy atmosphere across the venue’s main bar and event space. Tickets are available through Eventbrite ahead of the date - worth booking rather than chancing the door. The bar stocks over eleven draught beers and a full cocktail menu, so you are well set for the duration.
The Cosh Bar sits at 66 Buncrana Road on the northern edge of Derry city. If you are coming from the Republic, the N13 from Letterkenny brings you in via Buncrana Road directly. From Belfast, the A6 dual carriageway takes around 70 minutes. Derry bus station on Foyle Street handles regular Translink services from Belfast, Letterkenny, Dublin, and towns across the North - the city centre is then a short taxi ride out to Buncrana Road. Free parking is available at the venue and on the street nearby, including wheelchair accessible spaces.
Derry is an easy city to spend a full weekend in - the Walled City, the Peace Bridge, and the Bogside murals are all within walking distance of the centre, and the food scene along Shipquay Street has improved considerably in recent years. There is more to see in Derry and across Co. Derry.
