Lovely quick stopn 🍻

I stopped by J. & K. Walsh Victorian Spirit Grocer for a pint of Guinness and really enjoyed the experience. The staff were super friendly, and with the fireplace on (it was freezing outside), it made for a perfect cozy break.

The pub feels like it’s frozen in time — full of character and charm. I also loved the unique jar glass they served the Guinness in, which made it even more memorable.

Great spot for a relaxed pint with a classic old-school vibe.

Response from the owner

Thanks for review Gustavo. The fire really makes such a difference on these stormy days and we are delighted you had a great visit with us. Looking forward to welcoming you again.

A very nice and cozy pub. The barkeeper offered us Irish coffee, and it was the best Irish coffee we've ever had. Made with passion. If anyone is in Waterford, I recommend stopping by for an Irish coffee, beer, or cocktail.
