Very clean!! Walked in and the place was gleaming, including all the glasses hanging above the bar which was sparkling in the sunlight. Very friendly gentleman being the bar helped me to select a cocktail from their extensive cocktail menu, there's also a large whiskey menu, I also ordered a desert and he threw in a scoop of ice cream on the side, both were lovely. I noticed a crushed ice cooler behind the bar which I presume are for cocktails too, lovely spot.

Response from the owner

thank you Sharon - always a pleasure - come back soon!

By far and away the best part of our entire trip to Ireland. Not because of the extensive whiskey selection, heck we can't even afford the good stuff here, but because of the conversations with the owner Flash. Couldn't recommend this place more! And after a few bad experiences in Dublin this might be the saving grace if why we would come back to Ireland again

Response from the owner

Always a pleasure to talk to Whiskey Fans. Thanks for taking the time to visit Revolution Whiskey Bar - its great to talk about Waterford City, Our History and of Course Good Whiskey - Hope you enjoyed your stay at Waterford Castle & Enjoy the rest of your visit to Ireland
