Best & Cool Bars in Dunmore East

"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."

"For an authentic old world atmosphere, J&K Walsh Victorian Pub and Grocers is a must-see on O’Connell Street. Check out the old wooden cabinets, brass scales and spice drawers, unchanged since 1899 when the place opened. This is one of Ireland’s finest intact examples, packed with original Victorian features."

"Warm, friendly and offering great service, The Tap Room is a charming city pub brimming with character and a sense of history. Located on Ballybricken, it’s a 10-minute walk from the Waterford Visitor Centre but well worth the legwork. It gets consistent high ratings for its beautiful interior with dark wood bar and cosy fireplace."

"Located not too far from The Viking Hotel; on The Cork Road in Waterford. It offers free parking and is open from 10am-5pm. The offering of refreshments is really quite varied from ‘Chocolate Iced Coffee to Mango Smoothies’."

"Where gin meets the south east coast, Davy Macs is going to make you one happy traveler if you’re into this al la mode spirit and if you’re not I doubt you’ll find it hard to be convinced!. The first ever dedicated gin bar in the south east, Davy Macs won the Irish over by serving up the best expressions of gin throughout the Emerald Isle. They were awarded the best place to have a classic fresh gin and tonic."

"How about a traditional Irish pub with a bit of a modern twist?. Located on John’s Avenue, on the outside, Davy Mac’s Bar looks like any traditional Irish cottage but inside it’s a lovely old tavern. Sit by the old stove, admire the antique beer taps and the memorabilia covering the walls."
