The pint of guiness here is flat and tasteless and the food average. We ate here as a group and one persons order was forgot and they ended up with nothing! Avoid

As an English guy visiting Waterford this felt like a really traditional place, even though it's popular with tourists, mainly because they had trad music being played and everyone in the pub started singing along!!

Went to TH Doolan's during my stay in Waterford and really enjoyed the place. The service was great, bar staff were friendly and the food was quite good. Once the football game was over a group started playing traditional music for the rest of the evening. Only downside was the place shut down around 11pm. Granted it was a Wednesday... More

We went here mid week, it was quite to start off only us in the restaurant section, my partner had the lamb stew which I have to say was lovely though they were unimpressed with the shop bought Irish soda bread. I had the battered cod and chips which was the wrong choice, the fish came out oily and soggy!... More

I have been here a number of times, its a charming old style pub but is exceptionnally clean and serves smashing food. Even a good stew. There is music most nights and it is usually of an Irish influence.

I had the guinness and steak pie. Well, there were turnips, carrots and gravy in the pie but very very little steak. My sister had the battered fish (think it was cod)... More

All the food was fresh. Gorgeous boiled ham and cabbage. Big fresh carrots and mash. Total comfort food. The staff were so kind and welcoming. Not a tacky tourist bar, a real old Irish bar with Irish values.

T&H is the quintessential Low beamed Olde' Sod Pub in back of the Merchants Quay and the River Suir. As times have gotten difficult for Irish pubs and most of them have had to take on more of a stylized dining experience as well, "The Doolan" runs the gamut. The oysters are awesome, in this atmosphere with a pint of... More
