5 PHENOMENAL restaurants for foodies in Waterford city
"This laid-back pub in Waterford is a family-run establishment. In operation since 1759, it is safe to say this is truly a local’s spot with an all-welcome policy. Seeing as it is a slight bit off the beaten track, visitors can expect a more low-key vibe while friends challenge each other over games of snooker and couples cosy up in intimate snugs."
"Established in 1759, the walls of Henry Downes & Co. could tell a few tales!. This unique pub is one of the few remaining that bottle their own whiskey. It’s a little off-the-beaten-path on Thomas Street (behind Dooley’s Hotel on the Quay)."
"Opened in 1797, this is considered to be Waterford’s best pub. Even though there are no amenities, the pub appeals to people of all ages with different tastes. Whether they are into theater, hip hop, or Jazz, Downes is a popular highlight."
"Another timeless gem on O’Connell Street, Tully’s Bar has a traditional frontage and outdoor tables for resting your feet while sipping and supping. As well as liquid refreshment it has a fine menu of tasty dishes. Tully’s Bar does its own special label Growler bottles of beer (that’s around two pints) and whiskey miniatures (great for take-home gifts and souvenirs)."
"The tenth best hotel in Waterford, according to users on Booking.com is Treacy’s Hotel, Spa & Leisure Club. This three-star establishment sits right on the Waterford Quays, offering stunning views of the waterways. An on-site wellness centre and leisure club – including a 20-metre pool – ensures that this hotel is ideal for a weekend break."

"Itty Bittys is a gorgeous pub and cocktail bar on Bank Lane, off The Mall. Open for dinner and light bites it’s a special place to grab a cocktail and socialise. There’s an upstairs bar and DJ for disco lovers while diners and drinkers can be found on the famous Roof Terrace – arguably the sunniest spot in the city!"
"This upmarket gastro bar and restaurant is certainly one of the best in Waterford. The all-in-one venue offers everything from lunchtime snacks to late night pursuits, with a rooftop terrace and nightclub on-site. From live traditional music to some of the freshest seafood in all of the city, The Reg is one of the best bars in Waterford."
"Location: The Mall, Waterford Telephone: +353 (0)51 583000 The Reg, Waterford is located in the heart of the Viking Triangle in Waterford City, Ireland. Providing fresh, low-miles and locally supplied food at the highest quality for lunch and dinner."
"It boasts 5 bars and has a roof-top terrace that looks so inviting in the sunshine. The ground floor terrace looks over Reginald’s Tower. It is an old-style craft bar and has music from Sunday to Thursday nights."
"Metalman bar opened in December 2017 and is located at 15 The Quay Waterford. It serves Metalman beer but it also serves other beers from independent brewery’s, gins, whiskeys & other drinks too so it is fair to say that it satisfies all tastes. The bar has a different beer of the day every day on special offer."
