It's a bustling little spot and we got the last table for two in the spot. They were full of families, friend groups, and couples--they definitely have a broad appeal. And, I can see why. I ordered their goat cheese tartlet with chips, which was delicious. The guiness that we ordered was cold and delicious. The service was kind and attentive. The atmosphere is loud and joyful--your classic pub feel. We loved it! Get to it!

Mostly burgers named after famous Waterford hurlers. (I can only imagine the late night drinking session arguing whether John Mullane resembled a bacon and cheese burger or Brick Walsh sounded like a Brie man) Anyway, the burgers were pretty good, service was excellent and they were even able to magic up a couple of decent cocktails not on their menu. We'll be back.

Large portion and cooked perfectly. Flakey cod with a wonderful tasting batter. The chips were also perfect. This is the standard for great fish and chips. Can't stress how good this was. The burger was okay. A little on the dry side and overly salty. But overall it was okay. Service was friendly.

Christmas dinner sandwich came highly suggested and did not disappoint! Ham, turkey, stuffing and cranberry mayo on a baguette qualifying its namesake. Fish and chips were also very good.

I came here with my sister for an early dinner (5pm) from a recommendation from the staff of the…read morehotel we were staying at. 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.

I definitely recommend to passing tourists, you can buy some Number 9 which is distilled on-site. The pub boasts it's own well from which the waters for the distillery are drawn.

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.
