Merry’s

A jewel of a place. Quaint, friendly, good service with a cozy pub feel. The food was outstanding, especially the fish soup. Very generous portions and great pint of beer.

CHICKEN WINGS ! They were amazing. The service was very good and the setting is great. Not a huge menu but what was on it was superb. I’d also recommend the Pesto Parma fries. I like how they gave the option of paying separately and didn’t mind splitting the bill.

Just a random stop on the way to Waterford.
We are so lucky we found Merry’s. The bartender was knowledgeable and kind. She steered us to the delicious homemade pumpkin soup and some of the best burgers we’ve had while in Ireland.
You will be very happy here. A great old world charm.

Was here for a late afternoon lunch… Good simple bar food, nothing too exciting. But the staff were fantastic… Really well looked after and they replaced my fries after I knocked them over! My fault… All in all well fed and great craft beer selection

I stopped off here with my father on the way to Kilkenny from Cork in January and we were very happy with the food and service. The bar/​restaurant itself it a lovely old style pub with a great atmosphere. I went with the chicken and my father went with the lamb, both of us were very happy and would definitely come back again.

I was just walking by and stopped in for a beer. Service was good and the food that I saw looked very good.

Merry’s! I was hungry, I was cold, and there you were with your warmth and food and drinks.
Great spot, seems to be loved by the locals (always a good sign). The service was a bit slow, but frankly I couldn’t care less because the food. Ohhh the fooooood.
That was the greatest seafood chowder I have ever had in my entire life. And I’m from Boston, we take chowdah seriously.

Our usual venue of choice in DG is The Tannery. Let me say that up front. However, for a variety of reasons we decided to try Merrys instead for a recent family dinner and were pleasantly surprised at the quality and range of good food on offer. It’s a pub, of course, so calibrate accordingly. Another bonus of a pub, of course, is that they serve pints of ‘whatever you’re having yourself’. Between 6 of us, we had mussels, chicken wings, lamb, salmon and various salads all of which proved to be quite good and, as we say in management consulting speak, aligned with customer expectations. It doesn’t compete with the Tannery, it doesn’t try to but, for all that, excellent meal, excellent value for money, very pleasant room and attentive staff. What more could you ask for? We’ll be back.

Really delicious food and great service! I went do dinner there with my husband and his uncle (who I think has a permanent seat at the bar). If he endorses it as his local, it must really be great!

What a delightful little bar this is.
Without doubt one of the most atmospheric pubs you will find in Waterford.
Beautiful old style nautical theme to the pub.
great selection of beer and other drinks. they also offer great bar food.
Very friendly staff.
FREE wifi.
Great live music! A good choice if you’re contemplating what pub to go to!

Heartbroken from finding out that the Tannery didn’t do lunch on saturdays, I landed in Merry’s and got myself a lovely rissoto, while my partner had the fish of the day. The dried mushrooms in the rissoto weren’t quite there yet but the rest was lovely, and so was the fish, tasted it myself !
The staff is lovely and I love the decoration in there, nice atmosphere.
