Our story
Quality, character & community.
Revolution began with a simple idea: create a bar that celebrates quality, character and community. Over the years we’ve grown into one of Waterford’s best-loved venues — known for award-winning service, an extensive drinks range and a welcoming atmosphere.
We take pride in supporting great producers, showcasing Irish whiskey and offering a rotating range of craft beers from Ireland and beyond.
The design
“There is a fine line between chaos and curated Boho Eclecticism.”
Faux leather booths, macabre art pieces and a wall of Belgian gilt mirrors, antique tables brushed with gold leaf and walls washed in earth pigments from L. Cornelissen & Son, London.
“This is a space designed for sipping aged whiskey, craft beers and modern classics.”
Jim “Flash” Gordon, Proprietor
Our promise
At Revolution, every guest matters. We aim to deliver excellent drinks, honest food and genuine hospitality — whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.
