👍👍 Great little spot in Waterford. The venue is small and cosey. The wood, exposed brick and terracotta style colour combined with the dim lighting gives a warm vibe. The service are extremely friendly, knowledgable of the menu and can have a bit of banter. The dishes were well portioned, presented rea...

👍👍 A Waterford institution. Great pints and great staff. Could possibly be my favourite pub, up there with the greats. Order your drinks, sit down with your friends and while away the hours, then wonder if it would be so bad if ye did this every week for the rest of your days. You cannot put a price on...

👍👍 Best Italian Chipper in Waterford! Angelo and family provide delicious proper chips, decent portions and a tasty menu for those times when nothing but a good old Irish Italian chipper meal will do. Spotlessly clean, friendly and efficient. Highly recommended 👍

👍 Lovely location of this burrito bar. We tried veggie burrito and bowl. Taste was good it had balanced flavours but most of the stuff was bit bland. Maybe guacamole could be bit lemony with little bit of salt. Also it could be a bit expensive affair considering it is in Waterford. I eat burrito in du...

😠 Nice room nice atmosphere, nice service. The food not at all up to scratch for the prices being charged. A selection of starters were no better than a frozen party platter from Iceland. The moneybags and dumplings were notable, dry dense tasteless. Mains; Ordered some sizzling weeping steak thing,...
