Clubs
The Forum
(http://www.forumwaterford.com/) in the glen is a bit out of the way from the normal nightlife hub, but is one of the major gathering points for the 'alternative' crowd in the city. they run a popular indie nightclub every thursday and saturday night. the main floor is normally open for techno nights, but still attracts an unusual crowd due to it's location. they also host live bands and theatre productions.
Harveys
On manor st play a mix of mainstream pop music from every era. is nearly always packed. popular venue, it's located right in the middle of the nightlife so get there early if you plan on sitting down. harveys do cater for an older crowd, 21+, but still the club hosts a student night on a wednesday.
Oxegen
And the foundary are two night clubs situated on the corner of parnell st. and john st. these play the usual nightclub music and are populated by the younger mainly student crowd.
Pubs
Downse's Pub
On thomas street between the quays and the glen is waterford's oldest pub and still today remains a clock-ticking pub. conversation is the music of this pub and it attracts the most unique characters from all over the city. please switch off the ring-tones on your mobile cell phone as this is frowned upon.
T & H Doolans
(http://www.tandhdoolans.c...) on georges street is a 'true' irish experience. a real traditional tavern, located in a tranquil and quiet part of the city's nightlife, the sound of bodhrã¡n and fiddle can be heard far up the alleyways on the approach. a must for any visit to the city.
