    Rude manager! Manager's attitude toward customers, staff and musicians absolutely disgraceful! Was here with friends for some drinks and music entertainment, manager walked up on stage and stopped singer half way through song and started cursing and shouting. Very unprofessional and uncomfortable to watch. He also threatened to throw customers out for not buying enough drinks! Ruined the atmosphere completely! Another guy looking after the music system was leering at the girls singing and female customers in an uncomfortable and sleazy way. Very turned off with this experience, used to be a great bar with great vibes and managed really well, it's a shame seeing what it's turned into. Won't be going back here, know me mates won't be either. Disgraceful and unprofessional.

    The place is pretty nice but felt a bit mismanaged. They ran out of almost all pizza ingredients and most cocktail ingredients too. We ordered two pizzas. Only one was edible and they just forgot one of our drink orders. They tried to charge us for the cocktail we didn't get but were very nice when we pointed out the mistake.

    This place came up in Google Maps' restaurant search. It is *not* a restaurant. Of the five pizza types on the menu, only one was available the night we were there. After I'd ordered I was stunned to see the barman take the plastic wrap from a pizza and insert into a small bench top oven. By all means go here for the drinks, the music & the craic. But Google Maps should not show this as a restaurant.

👍👍 Located at the tip of the "Viking Triangle," The Reg is a great respite from touring the shops and attractions of Waterford. The food is outstanding and reasonably priced. Be sure to include the soup of the day as these are particularly tasty. The bar is well-stocked with draught beer and stronge...
