While we were visiting Waterford, we went to the museum, picked out an item and had something beautifully sketched for us, which was great. And we asked the bartender where would be a great place to have some great food. He gave us a couple options and he was like if he wants some seafood go to this place if you want some pub food definitely check out Geoff's. Walking up it's in the middle of the atrium that they have there where they do a lot of different types of shows. There are a few tables outside that you can take a seat out if you want to. We decided to sit inside. It's very pubish inside and just like you would imagine every other restaurant in Ireland. When in Ireland, you were going to have to drink beer and that is definitely what we had. My partner had a gin and tonic service was great. We sat in this cute little off the bar seating it was hidden and very romantic. Sometimes the bartender would pop out of nowhere and surprise you. I ordered the stew which was pleasantly delicious! It was the color of an orange curry and on top was this crusty delicious nutty bread. My dish also came with a side salad and french fries so it was a lot of food for the amount of the price. My partner ordered the burger and the burger was delicious perfectly cooked. Couldn't ask for anything better. This has been one of my favorite places of all times to go eat while you're visiting and Ireland especially when you're in Waterford. Thank you for making my Waterford trip spectacular. I had a great time eating my way through.

This is probably the best boozer in Waterford, especially if you're a Craft Beer fan like myself…read more There is a great range of local Waterford beers from Metalman and Dungarvan as well as other Irish breweries. There's also an excellent range of European beers and that's just the tap selection. There is also a large selection of bottled beer as well as a cask beer hand pump. Dungarvan's excellent Black Rock Stout was on cask when I was there. Apart from the range of beers is a wonderfully congenial atmosphere. People don't come here for loud music and dancing. In fact it took me a few hours to even notice there was music playing. The loudest location for music is in the toilets. In the rear bar, it's only just noticeable and you can barely hear anything up front. This meant that it was the perfect place to spend the whole night chatting. I love how the front and rear bars are separated by an old western saloon type swinging door. There's also an upstairs area that you can reserve with your own bar, though the beer selection up there is just two taps of the usual suspects. At one point I popped out to check out Revolution and I promptly returned to Phil Grimes to see the return of my sanity. It's worth mentioning that while they don't serve food, they have a deal with a local pizza place, pizza is delivered to the pub. €10 for a pizza and a pint and the pizza is pretty damn good. Fantastic place.

They recommended the baked potato, the chicken something (started with a c, and is essentially a chicken strip), and the peppercorn steak sandwich. We opted for the baked potato with the meat chili sauce and the steak sandwich. Y'all, the portions are huge (two people can share one dish) and the peppercorn sauce for the sandwich was INCREDIBLE. My sister and I used the sauce to dip our fries in. The chili baked potato was also excellent. It has a nice kick to it, so if you don't like heat in your food, then skip this dish. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic. We asked two waitresses for advice on places to visit, and they were helpful and gave us great answers to our questions, and gave us recommendations based on what we were interested in seeing. Worth a visit if you're in the area.
