Jack Meade’s Bar and Beer Garden

We absolutely loved this place. A proper, traditional Irish pub that’s a must-stop while in the Waterford area. It’s only open Thursday - Saturday and worth planning your trip around.

Great find! Bigger than you'd think. More popular than you'd think. More delicious than you'd think. Better value than you'd think. So glad we found this idyllic gem with seating areas for all weathers. We caught the sun and sat outdoors. Could have opted for the glazed terrace with massive windows to regulate temperature. Skip the others and try this 🙂

Great Guinness, very friendly staff providing a warm welcome. We were on holiday in the area and called in every day for a pint. The pub provides food which we didn't purchase. The atmosphere is more a restaurant style, not an Irish pub, however the old cottage part is open Saturday and Sundays which looks cosy but we were there mid week. Highly recommend

We were on a Cosmos tour with Bill as the host, and decided on this excursion as part of the must-see optional shows offered by the tour company. We paid online ahead of time to save having to buy the tickets in person. Upon arrival we learned a little bit of owners’ history and the building’s history. We then went upstairs to enjoy drinks and the show. The drinks were wonderful. We both had whisky with lemonade. They are crisp and refreshing drinks. We did not eat this evening, since they do not serve food in the upper room. Our host was an amazing guitar player and singer. He sang Danny Boy (which was Broadway caliber!) and has a fantastic voice. He also sang several other songs that were funny and engaging. Our bus driver Tony performed too and sang wonderfully. Note: Please do not record the show while there, it is not allowed but you may take photos. You absolutely must see this show! It was fantastic and hysterically funny. If you’re taking a tour with Cosmo, be sure to include this excursion, it is worth every cent.

Definitely worth a visit,when passing through! Nice walking area,and delicious food served there,and always a cozy and warm atmosphere! We visited good few times already,every time we are near! Had some nice fish and chips there,mashed potatoes with cabbage,and a very tasty seafood chowder,served with hot soda bread and butter! There is also a small castle on the road,just on the other side of the short tunnel,and other old buildings and ice house,just across the stream.
