Good drinks and tons of cool mixed shots. We especially loved the mini beers. They also have a nice set up behind the pub with seating and tents. Would definitely recommend coming here for an authentic Irish pub experience!

Thank you Harp Bar!

So we venture out on our own and decided on a pint or 3 of Guinness. We walked into this pub and just fell in love with it. There were 3 local customers there that shared some great stories with us.

I hope we come back soon and stay in this village for a few days!

It was hands down the best I had during our entire trip across Kilkenny, Dublin, and Belfast. Rich, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly comforting, it was the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after the meal ends. I loved it so much that I immediately wanted to try recreating it at home, which says everything. I only wish I had the recipe. Seriously, if you want to share it, I am all in. If you are in Kilkenny, this place is an easy recommendation. Great food, great atmosphere, and excellent service all around.

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.
