Katty Barry's
Waterford
18/03/2026: Great evening, great music and atmosphere.
Lauren looked after us. Great service..
15/03/2026: Pub has so much potential. Nice staff and good live music. Unfortunately the clientele were extremely abusive to me and my friend unprovoked. It was incessant, so much so that other customers had to come to our aid. We tried to continue with our evening but due to the size of the pub it was impossible to avoid them. We felt very unsafe and eventually had to leave. Bar would benefit from security on a Saturday night / BH weekend and zero tolerance policy.

Cafe Lucia Ardkeen
Waterford
21/12/2025: Waited 35 mins on a breakfast . Asked for fried tomatoes and about Twenty half cherry tomatoes came with my egg !! We drank of coffees well before we got our food . Asked for more coffee to go with our breakfast and got charged for it .
Staff would need a wake up call . Not talking orders properly listening to other tables . A pity because it’s a nice setting but won’t be coming back here any time soon . 👎.
17/12/2025: Lovely food, with friendly & warm staff 🙂

15/03/2026: Great location and lovely hotel, we were too early to check in so lovely new girl long blonde hair let us leave bag, when we came back to check in a lady with dark hair & black blazer was not very friendly, answered phone while checking us in, never mentioned anything about time we were booked for dinner or where breakfast was etc, no enjoy your stay (rm 323 was fab) but everyone else we encountered was lovely.

The Marian
Waterford
27/03/2026: Fantastic food. Got pizza and the dough was so light and fluffy. Chips were great too! So fresh! Got it delivered, and the timing was fast. Delivery driver very friendly too! Excellent!
21/03/2026: I ordered one thing and they delivered something else! No one told me that this item was unavailable! I demand a refund!!!
I tried the fish they sent me instead of fish bites. It was terrible! The batter was overcooked, and the fish itself was rubbery🤢. It was inedible! The chicken kebab also left much to be desired. 5 small, torn pieces of chicken, salad, and a strange sauce.
I don't recommend going there or ordering home delivery!

The Great Escape
Waterford
02/07/2025: We had an absolutely amazing time at The Great Escape in their 90's Video Store Room. The room itself had some puzzle aspects that we haven't seen in other rooms so it felt super fresh. Mark was our host and he was super friendly. I can't recommend this escape room enough!
23/05/2025: A fantastic day with the family, really layed out with easy and hard clues. Nice friendly staff and located in the heart of the City.

Under The Clock Coffee House
Waterford
14/08/2025: Absolutely love this cafe! The coffee is top-notch – Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of both the drinks and the food. The interior is really nicely done too – clean, cozy, and a great place to relax or catch up with friends.
Service is always quick and friendly, which makes a big difference. Definitely one of my go-to spots now. Highly recommend!
07/08/2025: Superb latte & tasty cakes with friendly service. I really enjoyed resting here & relaxing after hectic tour of surrounding attractions. Just off beaten track but so close to centre of town.

Lana Ardkeen Asian Street Food

Today I accidently placed an order in the Waterford restaurant instead of the Mayo restaurant and the lady in Waterford was exceptional in dealing with my mistake and was able to redirect my meal to the correct restaurant. Thank you for the excellent customer service in both restaurants
