Mentioned by Ireland Before You Die
10 pubs in Waterford you NEED to visit before you die
"Specialising in Spanish food, this Tapas restaurant is an excellent location to find the tastiest treats of Español in Waterford. The Olive Tree pride themselves in providing a variety of Mediterranean dishes to tickle the taste buds of their customers. It’s a popular location for couples heading on a Date night and is known as one of the best restaurants for ‘Good Food and Good company’."
"The top-rated Olive Cafe on John Roberts Square is the place for curries lovers and those in search of a good breakfast or lunch. Brimming with atmosphere and a hub for local life, this popular cafe is open 9-5pm daily and closed on Sunday. In a fiercely competitive market, they pride themselves on serving divine coffee, delicious pastries and the best home-made food."
"If you love tapas, then you have to pay a visit to the Olive Tree tapas and wine bar. Ideal for a birthday or maybe a catch-up between old friends, the Olive Tree is warm and inviting with a menu filled with some of the tastiest tapas dishes and sharing boards I've ever had. A little pricey, but definitely worth it."
"15/07/2021: I had to give a 1 star because this restaurant has closed and the telephone number is now being used by an Indian takeaway / restaurant located in the same place in High Street. We rang and booked a table here thinking it was an Italian restaurant."

"Located not too far from The Viking Hotel; on The Cork Road in Waterford. It offers free parking and is open from 10am-5pm. The offering of refreshments is really quite varied from ‘Chocolate Iced Coffee to Mango Smoothies’."
"Although we are a nation famous for our love of tea, we’ve caught up with the world of great coffee. There are big chains here like Starbucks, Costa, and Insomnia, but nothing will ever come close to small, local coffee shops. The best coffee shop in Waterford is Blackfriars Cafe."
"If you love music and good coffee, then this is the café for you. I am obsessed with music, so I love going somewhere where the music fits with the vibe they are trying to create. This place nails it in my opinion."
"Cahir's awesome castle enjoys a river-island site with moat, massive walls, turrets and keep, mullioned windows, vast fireplaces and dungeons. Founded by Conor O'Brien in 1142, and passed to the Butler family in 1375, it's one of Ireland's largest castles. In 1599 the Earl of Essex shattered its walls with cannon fire, an event explained with a large model. With a huge set of antlers pinned to its white walls, the Banqueting Hall is an impressive sight; you can also climb the Keep."
"The Rock of Cashel is one of Ireland's most spectacular historic sites: a prominent green hill, banded with limestone outcrops, rising from a grassy plain and bristling with ancient fortifications. Sturdy walls circle an enclosure containing a complete round tower, a 13th-century Gothic cathedral and the finest 12th-century Romanesque chapel in Ireland, home to some of the land's oldest frescoes.It's a five-minute stroll from the town centre up to the Rock, from where fantastic views range over the Tipperary countryside."
"From Waterford, make a slight detour to the northwest in order to visit one of my favorite sites in Ireland: the Rock of Cashel. Located in County Tipperary, the Rock of Cashel is a hilltop complex that might be one of the more photogenic places I've visited in Ireland. The Rock of Cashel – also called St. Patrick's Rock – was the seat of the Kings of Munster until it was eventually handed over to the church after the Norman invasion. Today, the site consists of mostly ruins – but the ruins are super impressive."
"One at the Rock of Cashel and the next just outside Cork city at Blarney Castle where you can kiss the famous Blarney Stone. This route will lead you by both sites."

"La Fontana is an authentic rustic restaurant with a great Italian menu in the heart of the Viking Triangle on The Quay. Pick your favourite pizza or choose a generous antipasti dish to share. Tempura Prawns with spicy batter, mussels in white wine and Caprese Insalata are a nice change from the more traditional platter of cured meats, cheese and grilled veggies."

"Where gin meets the south east coast, Davy Macs is going to make you one happy traveler if you’re into this al la mode spirit and if you’re not I doubt you’ll find it hard to be convinced!. The first ever dedicated gin bar in the south east, Davy Macs won the Irish over by serving up the best expressions of gin throughout the Emerald Isle. They were awarded the best place to have a classic fresh gin and tonic."
"How about a traditional Irish pub with a bit of a modern twist?. Located on John’s Avenue, on the outside, Davy Mac’s Bar looks like any traditional Irish cottage but inside it’s a lovely old tavern. Sit by the old stove, admire the antique beer taps and the memorabilia covering the walls."
