Comedy star Joe Lo Truglio pays surprise visit to popular Derry restaurant
The American star is currently in Ireland visiting family
On Thursday evening (June 12), acclaimed comedy actor Joe Lo Truglio — best known for his role as Charles Boyle in Brooklyn Nine-Nine — paid a surprise visit to popular Derry restaurant The Bentley Bar.
The American star, who has also appeared in comedy favourites such as Superbad, Pitch Perfect, and I Love You, Man, is currently in Ireland visiting family. During his stop at The Bentley, Joe took the time to chat with both staff and customers, making the night even more memorable for everyone in the building.
“Joe was incredibly warm and generous with his time,” said one team member. “We’ve all seen him in so many shows and films over the years — it was a surreal moment for us all, but he couldn’t have been friendlier.”
Known for its four floors of dining, live music, and sport, The Bentley Bar has long been a go-to spot in the city for food, drinks, and big nights out. Lo Truglio’s visit adds to the venue’s growing list of notable guests — and has certainly given the staff a story to tell.
