Best & Cool Bars in Clonmel

"This laid-back pub in Waterford is a family-run establishment. In operation since 1759, it is safe to say this is truly a local’s spot with an all-welcome policy. Seeing as it is a slight bit off the beaten track, visitors can expect a more low-key vibe while friends challenge each other over games of snooker and couples cosy up in intimate snugs."

"Established in 1759, the walls of Henry Downes & Co. could tell a few tales!. This unique pub is one of the few remaining that bottle their own whiskey. It’s a little off-the-beaten-path on Thomas Street (behind Dooley’s Hotel on the Quay)."

"Opened in 1797, this is considered to be Waterford’s best pub. Even though there are no amenities, the pub appeals to people of all ages with different tastes. Whether they are into theater, hip hop, or Jazz, Downes is a popular highlight."

"Sinnotts is a highly popular late night bar/ nightclub which is situated at ground level in Waterford. Located in Waterford City Centre just by the junction of John Street, the Manor and Parnell Street, Sinnotts Bar benefits from frontage onto both Manor and John’s Street."

"The tenth best hotel in Waterford, according to users on Booking.com is Treacy’s Hotel, Spa & Leisure Club. This three-star establishment sits right on the Waterford Quays, offering stunning views of the waterways. An on-site wellness centre and leisure club – including a 20-metre pool – ensures that this hotel is ideal for a weekend break."

"Itty Bittys is a gorgeous pub and cocktail bar on Bank Lane, off The Mall. Open for dinner and light bites it’s a special place to grab a cocktail and socialise. There’s an upstairs bar and DJ for disco lovers while diners and drinkers can be found on the famous Roof Terrace – arguably the sunniest spot in the city!"

"The Parlour promises Tea Rooms with a twist, and that’s just what this Art Deco-inspired café has to offer. Located in the historic Port of Waterford building right by the water, there are several experiences. Coffee addicts will find their niche in the Chamber of Coffee which takes artisan coffee-making to a whole new level."

"Cahir's awesome castle enjoys a river-island site with moat, massive walls, turrets and keep, mullioned windows, vast fireplaces and dungeons. Founded by Conor O'Brien in 1142, and passed to the Butler family in 1375, it's one of Ireland's largest castles. In 1599 the Earl of Essex shattered its walls with cannon fire, an event explained with a large model. With a huge set of antlers pinned to its white walls, the Banqueting Hall is an impressive sight; you can also climb the Keep."

"This fortified Augustinian monastery is the best sort of ruin, where you can amble around whenever you like, with no tour guides, set hours or fees. Most days you stand a chance of exploring the site alone (apart from some nosy sheep); at dusk with a clear sky the old priory is simply beautiful. The ruins are 500m east of Kells on the Stoneyford road; from the car park, head to the right of the walls to find the main entrance."
