Heery’s Bar & Restaurant is a city-centre bar and restaurant located at 10 John Street in Waterford, beside the Apple Market entertainment district. Known for its food, cocktails, outdoor seating and lively atmosphere, Heery’s works as both a daytime dining destination and a place to start—or continue—a night out in Waterford.
Its position in the heart of the city makes it particularly convenient for visitors searching for restaurants in Waterford City, brunch in Waterford, cocktails, outdoor dining or bars near the Apple Market. (Tripadvisor)
What is Heery’s Waterford?
HEERY’S Bar & Restaurant combines a restaurant, bar and entertainment-led atmosphere in one of Waterford’s busiest hospitality areas.
The food offering has included Irish, European and fusion-style cooking, while the venue is also known for its extensive cocktail selection. The Apple Market itself highlights Heery’s for its brunch, outdoor seating and cocktail range. (Tripadvisor)
This makes it a versatile option: lunch or brunch during the day, dinner in the evening, cocktails with friends or drinks as part of a night in Waterford City.
Food at Heery’s
Food is a major part of the Heery’s offering rather than an afterthought.
Published information describes menus encompassing lunch, brunch and à la carte dining, with Irish, European and fusion influences. Vegetarian and gluten-free options have also been listed. (Tripadvisor)
The exact menu changes, so Waterford In Your Pocket recommends checking Heery’s current social media before visiting if you’re looking for a particular dish.
Brunch at Heery’s
If you’re searching for brunch in Waterford City, Heery’s is worth knowing about.
Brunch has been a prominent part of its food offering, and the Apple Market specifically identifies the venue for its brunch menu. (theapplemarket.ie)
Its central location also makes it convenient for a late breakfast or brunch before shopping, sightseeing or spending an afternoon exploring Waterford City.
Cocktails & Drinks
Cocktails are another major part of the Heery’s identity.
The venue offers a full bar and has been particularly associated with an extensive cocktail selection, while other published descriptions also reference wine, whiskey, draught beer and bottled beers. (BizIreland)
For visitors planning an evening in Waterford, this gives Heery’s a dual purpose: you can eat there and stay for drinks rather than having to immediately move to another venue.
Outdoor Seating in the Apple Market
One of Heery’s biggest advantages is its location.
John Street forms part of Waterford’s Apple Market entertainment district, an area containing a concentration of restaurants, pubs, cafés and late-night venues.
The Apple Market itself highlights outdoor seating as part of the Heery’s offering. (theapplemarket.ie)
When the weather cooperates, it’s an excellent location for sitting outside and watching one of Waterford’s busiest social areas come to life.
Live Music & Entertainment
Heery’s has also featured live music and evening entertainment, adding another dimension to the venue after the daytime restaurant trade. (Restaurant Guru)
This is an area where I would avoid publishing a fixed weekly schedule on Waterford In Your Pocket unless Heery’s supplies one directly.
Instead, individual performances should be added to What’s On, while the permanent Heery’s business listing simply identifies live entertainment as part of the offering.

Ireland (BizIreland)
The location puts Heery’s right beside the Apple Market, within easy walking distance of John Roberts Square, Waterford’s main shopping streets and the wider city centre.
How to Get There
If you’re already in Waterford City Centre, walking is the easiest option.
Head towards John Street and the Apple Market. Once there, Heery’s is positioned within one of the city’s principal restaurant, bar and nightlife areas.
Visitors exploring the Viking Triangle earlier in the day can also comfortably walk to John Street for food or drinks later.
Is Heery’s Good for Groups?
Heery’s is particularly suited to groups of friends, casual celebrations and social occasions because food, cocktails and the surrounding nightlife are all available in the same area.
Published listings also identify reservations, table service, highchairs, wheelchair accessibility and outdoor seating among the venue’s facilities. (Tripadvisor)
For larger groups, we’d recommend contacting Heery’s directly before travelling.
Waterford In Your Pocket Tip
Go for the location as much as the food and drinks.
Heery’s puts you right in the middle of the Apple Market area, so you don’t need to decide at the beginning of the evening where the entire night is going.
Have something to eat, try a cocktail, sit outside when the weather allows and then see where the evening takes you.
If you’re visiting at the weekend, check Heery’s social channels before heading in—you may find live entertainment or a special event happening that night.

Waterford In Your Pocket Says
Heery’s biggest selling point is that it bridges the gap between restaurant and nightlife venue.
You can visit for brunch or food without committing to a night out, but equally you can arrive for dinner and cocktails and already be positioned in the heart of Waterford’s evening entertainment district.
That flexibility makes it particularly useful for visitors who don’t know Waterford well.
If you’re looking for food, cocktails and a lively city-centre atmosphere close to the Apple Market, Heery’s is one to consider.
