Sandino's CafeBar

Sandino's Cafe Bar trades from 1 Water Street in Derry city centre under Sandino's Limited, a company incorporated in Northern Ireland in 2003 with a single registered director. The name refers to Augusto Cesar Sandino, the Nicaraguan nationalist leader, and the interior carries a Latin-American theme, with posters and craft objects referencing Central and South American history displayed throughout the bar. The venue has run as one of Derry's live-music rooms for decades, with a traditional Irish and jazz session most Sunday afternoons that is open to musicians and singers of any standard, documented in online session listings since at least 2005. Weeknight and weekend programming includes touring bands, club nights and DJ sets, and the bar takes part in the annual City of Derry Jazz Festival. It operates as a single premises with no connection to a wider pub chain or brewery tie, registered separately from any group operator.
