Entertainment in County Waterford
-
Marine Bar
Sure, there’s good food at this two-century-old pub, but the real reason to stop by is the craic. Year-round, traditional sessions rock the place on Monday and Saturday nights, while locals contest the traditional Irish card game ‘45’ on Wednesday evenings (anyone can join in). There’s music every night (except card night) in summer.

Moorings
On the quayfront, live music and DJs perform regularly at the laidback Moorings, which has beautiful original timber cabinetry and a snug, and – sticking with the nautical theme – the Anchor Bar. The latter is also a good spot to catch sport on the big screen.
