Great pub grub! Quick service. Easy to watch sporting events or TV from any seat in the house. Fish & chips were plentiful, hot and fresh. Chicken curry was delicious. Not overly spiced. Just great flavor. The Irish roast beef with stuffing, or as we were told, a "proper Irish Christmas roast beef dinner" was excellent. Nice location and fun staff made it a warm atmosphere. read more

From the warm welcome by Martha to the delicious food to dessert we enjoyed our visit immensely. We had a group of 7 in Waterford as part of a two week tour. We ate the fish and chips and soup and salad and a variety of wines and ciders. We had Death by Chocolate and sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. We departed the pub full and happy. If I visit Waterford again I'll surely return. The service by Martha was outstanding. I can't say too much about her hospitality! read more

An absolute must when visiting Waterford. I stopped by early evening and was greeted like I was family they hadn't seen in awhile. Melisa, the owner, is a wonderful host who made me feel welcome. I was traveling by myself and the conversation we had was fantastic. I drank a few beers and had the seafood chowder which was amazing. I would love to stop by again and eat my way through the delicious menu. I cannot speak highly enough about how much I enjoyed my evening here. I wish I lived nearby so it could become my go to spot. Thanks Melisa! read more

Great atmosphere and hospitality. Irish dishes like Irish stew, bangers and mash, and bacon and cabbage. Name is Grattan with an 'a' and their new website is https://www.grattan-bar-waterford.com First pub we went to where we were the only tourists. Owner was very welcoming and engaging. read more

This was a great corner bar where the drinks were very well made, and the woman tending the bar was very friendly. We had already eaten, but the local fellow sitting there when we arrived, gave the stew he was enjoying a great review. I will definitely return if I pass through Waterford again. read more

We stopped at the Gratten Bar for lunch after visiting Hook Lighthouse. It was excellent. David at the bar helped us with our drinks and seating. He also gave us tips on where we might go next in our journey. Christine, the chef, prepared a lovely lunch special of lamp chops with all the fixings for my husband. The chicken Caesar salad I ordered was awesome and gluten free. Christine was helpful with my gf requirements. Great experience. read more

This was my first time in Waterford (well, my first time in Ireland) and my hostel recommended them for genuine traditional food and it was only a block over. It's one of the first buildings you come to when crossing the bridge from the rail stallion. The owner, Melisa, was a great guy who was eager to talk and take care of me. Between him and the bartender, David, I was comfortable, well-fed, and left with some suggestions of places to visit. I'm only three days in to my trip and was already getting tired of lamb but tried the stew at Melisa's recommendation and didn't regret it, but be sure to come hungry as the portions are very filling. Highly recommended! read more

A very welcoming corner bar. The owners were sweet and really made you feel like a regular even though it was my first visit. I had the fish and chips and my fiancé had the burger. Both were excellent and extremely filling! This is the place for down-to-earth locals and good food and drink. read more

Went into this pub with my children and parents, three generations together, at the bar were greeted by Billy and Melissa. Melissa, a man with a funny name, and the owner of the place couldn't have been nicer. We didn't eat anything, but the food looked good, and the hospitality was perfect. Billy was a sweet lad, a college student, and Melissa knew all the locals, had great stories, and were super engaging and kind. A perfect watering hole that feels familiar. read more

Amazing local pub. Melisa the owner was extremely attentive and welcomed us with a smile and handshake. Dave the bartender poured a proper pint and Cristine the chef made excellent food. After a week of pubs throughout Ireland we found the best one. Most memorable pub experience we had in Ireland. read more
