    Hi all. Im living in Waterford nearly two yrs now and i have been to the main bars in Waterford city. Some good some not so good. Is there a decent pub outside the main city centre to watch a few matches maybe have a bit of carvery and chill out for the evening! Im not 100% familiar with all of the pubs but if anyone can recommend a decent one to watch the Gaa and soccer of an evening thats great.

    Reg is a decent spot for that but food is more expensive than carvery. Revs/kazbar similar

    Waterford deff lacks behind in spots pubs compared too other places. We have some pubs but they can be meh really depends on match tho

    Uluru and cove bars out on the dunmore road are good for an alternative night out

    Although it’s not my favourite pub, the Uluru is your best bet. Big screen for the sport and carvery. They usually have music in the evenings too.

    The Craftsman and The Sweep are also outside of the city and do nice food plus they always show the matches.

    The 3 ships usually has a crowd in for a big rugby game. They do food in there too.

    Woodman and Alfie hales would have a crowd for soccer and racing, no food in there but probably a crowd in, particularly the woodman if there is a big soccer match on.

    Uluru and the cove always get crowds for matches too. Both do food as well.

    Its my nearest and I dont love it or anything, but they have the big screen, and can show different matches in different parts of the pub. Which is actually what you want in a sports pub - they can show fair coverage to minority interest sports (e.g. athletics overlapping with premier league or something).

    I havent seen anything else in Waterford that ticks those boxes though (but I have only been here since January and I dont get out a lot).

    I tried the Sweep bar and although the staff were nice and they have a fantastic range of gin and whiskey i wasnt impressed by the food. It was very bland and took ages to be served. Maybe i got them on a bad day but i probably wont be back.
    The Craftsman i really enjoyed. The food was lovely, simple but well-made dishes with big portions. Then into the bar to watch some sport. Nice atmosphere there and although im a stranger with a thick Cork accent the locals were very friendly and i got chatting to one guy who was telling me the best pubs in the area!
    I can definitely see myself as a regular to the Craftsman bar.
