"Arch Coffee revolutionised coffee in Waterford in my opinion. While most people in Ireland will be familiar with 3fe coffee by now, these guys were one of the first to bring it Waterford. First opening in the historical George's Street location in a building over 150 years old, the guys have opened a second shop just up the road in Peter Street."

"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)."

"Metalman bar opened in December 2017 and is located at 15 The Quay Waterford. It serves Metalman beer but it also serves other beers from independent brewery’s, gins, whiskeys & other drinks too so it is fair to say that it satisfies all tastes. The bar has a different beer of the day every day on special offer."
