Was surprised geoffs wasn,t reopened earlier they have plenty of outdoor space both outback and out front; hopefully geoffs is reopened soon too.

Id say they may be holding on until 5th July. With any luck they will have some new staff too. There are some shower of up their own arses **** in that place, strutting around like they work in the White House, awful attitudes on some of them. Its a pub nothing more nothing less, i have absolutely no idea where they get their notions from!

Fairly chaotic yesterday in the Yard at the back of the Woodman but its a great set up there and the service will get better as the staff get used to the new normal.

just seen there they added a few 75 inch TVs

Hoping ill get in there tomorrow night, from passing a few places it seems a small issue is there's very few (if any) smaller tables for 1/2 people. 1 person could end up taking up a 6 person table etc. Problem is places cant discriminate either

Any places with decent outside seating have large TVs to watch the Euro 2020 on besides the Woodman?

Was in the Yard the other night, brilliant setup esp if the weather is good. Few teething issues mainly trying to get served but that will improve with time

I imagine the area will become a permanent fixture even when indoor reopens ?

Does any of the pubs have a good set up for the euros

The Yard and Pinks

Question: Do all bars have to provide table service, even if outside (obviously it's only outside at the moment)? I was in a place this afternoon (don't want to name and shame just yet), place was rammed, but everyone had to queue at the hatch for their pints.

To make matter worse I got a dirty glass for my 2nd pint; various marks on the outside of the glass and even bit of food stuck to the rim. It was so busy I didn't bother complaining but just left shortly afterward. I was in the same place last Summer (outside service) and it was a hell of a lot better; table service and clean glasses.

I've a friend coming down for a visit in a few days. Where would be good for a bit of lunch before a few pints. I am thinking the reg , I haven't tried the food in pinks though. Open to suggestions

Personally it you don't mind going outside the city I couldn't recommended the cove more. The best food hands down of any pub in Waterford and a gorgeous pint of Guinness. Seriously good food.

Staying with herself in Granville hotel, but rather not watch it in hotel (defo not in the room unless HAVE to)

Thanks

Upstairs area in The Reg would be a good bet but you'd have to book asap. The Yard @ The Woodman is another place that's well equipped for it.

Thanks for fast reply

Im guessing you need to book to just have a table to sit and drink at? Dont think be having food

Yeah it's not the biggest of spaces up there and because it's relatively covered from the elements, there's no hope of you walking in off the street and getting one on a whim.

Cool ,thanks again for fast reply and information

And they brought back that ignorant barman too, who was in the Bull and Green, cant believe that! They had their chance to change the guard and they pick the worst person possible to deal with the public. Anyone who goes there will know who im talking about. They lost my business anyway.

I attempted to go the The Woodman for the Euros final and didnt happen (queue outside and then the aul two or three lads five mates join the queue and said enough of that)

Ended up in Sinnotts smoking area (before indoor was open) and was a good mixed crowd with fast and friendly staff

What's the pub scene like now in the city? Most places now open? Is it easy enough to find a place for a few beers?

What's made City Arms quite the place? I was in there pre covid and it was pretty soulless. Seemed to be just a spot for carvery not a few pints.

I remember the last owner, kinda heavy chap. I had been to a few functions there but it always looked like they struggled to get people in there and they did. Was often there with some friends and we were the only ones there basically. Last owner closed up last year I think and new crowd took over.
