Waterford city has Ireland's oldest surviving Viking city walls and one of the country's most unusual session pub settings — Jack Meade's, under a 15th-century bridge on the River Suir.
The Deise county has a trad scene that often surprises visitors expecting just a tourist circuit. Jack Meade's bar, with its river setting and outdoor sessions in summer, is one of the most distinctive music venues in Munster. Geoff's Bar in the city is where the local musicians go when they don't want to be watched.

Under a 15th-century bridge on the River Suir. Sunday afternoon sessions in the beer garden when it's fine, inside when it's not. One of the most unusual pub settings in Ireland.

Waterford city's best-kept secret — Wednesday nights in a city-centre pub that's stubbornly refused to modernise. Musicians play in a circle, no stage.
