Pubs that Serve Craft Beer

08-01-2013 11:32pm#1Hey all, my girlfriend and I are heading down to Waterford the following weekend and I was hoping I could get some recommendations for pubs that serve craft beer? Herself isn't a beer drinker though so 'normal' drinks are a must
Additional info re. live music, food, age group etc in these places would be great too
Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

Phil Grimes on Johnstown has the best selection of craft beer for a pub in Waterford, decent enough local draught selection (Metalman, Dungarvan, Helvic) and a wide selection of Irish, UK and US bottled craft brews. They also serve all the regular crap too so the gf wont be without
Geoffs in the centre of town is a busy spot, they have Metalman on draught but nowhere near the extensive range of craft beers as Grimes'.
For German beers, Downses on Thomas St is a good spot, also a lovely pub, really old and they sell their own distilled whiskey - 'number 9'
Front Lounge, also on Johnstown is a decent live music spot but no craft beers here. Upstairs in the kazbar can be decent for live music too, but again no craft beer
If you are down for the weekend, I'd recommend maybe Downses for the first part of Fri, then down to Geoffs (for ease maybe hop in a taxi). On the Saturday, a trip down to Johnstown to Grimes' and then later to Front Lounge
Where ye staying? Can give some pointers on directions.0 -

thanks for the recommendations everyone! Seems there's a decent amount of choice.
I do have the Beoirfinder app, but I find it can under-represent the selection available and figured it'd be good to get an opinion from the regulars Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

Well had a wonderful weekend in Waterford Very lucky with the weather in the end!
Friday night we went to Downes for a pint before dinner, decent selection of German beers, though the place was a bit dead at that point. Ended up in Revolution that night then, her choice but I was willing to accept it for the beer selection
Saturday we went to Phil Grimes, which I loved, Great choice of beer, really nice atmosphere (helped ourselves to the board games) and the barman was lovely, couldn't do enough for us! Stayed there til closing then went to the front lounge, caught the end of a band there. They had Metalman on tap and apparently do a brilliant Daiquiri so were were quite happy
Unrelated, but got lunch in Poppy's cafe on Johns Street. Great food and really nice service, will definitely go back if I have the opportunity.
Once again, thanks for your suggestions!Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test
