McLeary's

Waterford

08/10/2026: Great food and atmosphere. Food was fresh and flavorful. Service was wonderful. Would definitely eat here again

03/10/2026: We came on McLeary's by chance. So glad we did. They don't take bookings but they suggested if we were there by 17.45 we would get a table. How right they were,by 18.00 it was full. They operate a very good wait system ,advising people to return at a given time. It works well,and certainly stops the 'no shows'. The food we had was probably the best in our recent 2 weeks in Ireland. Superb, totally recommend 👌

Paddy Coyne’s Pub

Waterford

05/09/2026: Amazing food and service. Fish is so fresh. Would recommend to all

01/09/2026: A very nice pub. We had excellent oysters with Tabasco (a new discovery!) and mussels, both served in very generous portions: one with a tomato, vodka, and chili sauce, and the other with a traditional white wine sauce. After an Irish coffee, the owner offered us a glass of whiskey.
