Jack Meades

Known to locals as "Meades under the Bridge," this place is indeed set beneath a time-stained stone bridge. In centuries past it was a stop on the coach road from Waterford to Passage East. There's a solid pub menu, and sing-along sessions on Saturday. In winter the fireplaces roar, illuminating the wood beams and displayed bric-a-brac.

Old Ground

Housed in an 800-year-old building, this pub is highly popular with locals. Lunch is served daily, and it's a cozy spot on a rainy day.
