Let Derry
Decide.

Pure Rank Derry is a grassroots, community-powered ranking and recognition platform. Local businesses, places, products and cult favourites earn recognition through public Facebook votes — not through judges, sponsors, influencers or paid placements.

The people vote. The people decide.

Built By Public Opinion

How it works

Pure Rank gives the people of Derry a direct say in the places and everyday favourites that deserve recognition.

Voting takes place publicly on Facebook. People comment their chosen letter, support their favourites, and help build a permanent record of what Derry chose.

Pure Rank does not personally select the winners. The page provides the ballot, counts the public votes, and records the result.

The Two Pillars

Two ways to earn a shout

The Wall of Fame

Derry's go-to places, permanently recorded.

The Pure Rank Wall of Fame is the formal and prestigious side of the platform. It recognises businesses, venues, services and local institutions as Derry's go-to choices within their categories.

Its identity is a nod to the historic Derry Walls. Winners earn their place up on the wall, becoming part of a permanent public record.

Typical titles include:

  • Derry's Go-To Chinese
  • Derry's Go-To Hotel
  • Derry's Go-To Barber
  • Derry's Go-To Nail Bar

Chosen by the people. Given a permanent spot up on the wall.

The People's Corner

The home of the stuff Derry buys, sips, scoffs on and swears by.

The People's Corner is the street-level, playful and culturally expressive side of Pure Rank. It's a home for specific products, makers, local legends and cult favourites that people become fiercely attached to.

Its visual identity is a respectful nod to Free Derry Corner. Winners aren't inducted onto a formal wall — they're imagined as being painted on the corner by the people.

Typical titles include:

  • The People's Bottle
  • The People's Chicken Box
  • The People's Pint of Guinness
  • The People's Coffee
  • The People's Maker

This corner's for the cult favourites.
