O’Sullivan’s Vintage Social

Step back in time at O’Sullivan’s Vintage Social, a unique bar and restaurant experience in the heart of Waterford’s historic Viking Triangle.

Located at 3 & 4 The Mall, this beautifully restored venue is steeped in character, charm, and local history. Housed in a building dating back to 1750 and established as a gathering place since 1895, O’Sullivan’s blends vintage elegance with warm, modern hospitality.

Once home to O’Sullivan’s Apothecary, the building has been lovingly restored to honour its remarkable past. Original artefacts are displayed throughout, while the venue’s antique brick, salvaged stone and quirky historic architecture create a truly atmospheric setting alongside Waterford’s ancient city walls.

Today, O’Sullivan’s Vintage social invites guests to enjoy classic cocktails, handpicked wines, premium beers, and a bistro menu inspired by traditional Mediterranean cuisine. With fresh ingredients, timeless recipes, and a relaxed dining room influenced by the charm of French Louisiana, it is the perfect spot for everything from an evening tipple to an intimate meal, a lively gathering or a special celebration.

The Vintage Bar captures the spirit of a bygone era, with a nod to the mystery and glamour of the speakeasy age. Over a century after O’Sullivan’s first mixed potion and remedies for the people of Waterford, the venue continues that tradition in a new way — crafting cocktails, serving great food, and creating memorable moments in one of the city’s most characterful settings.

Whether you are visiting for drinks with friends, a relaxed dinner, a special occasion, or a secret rendezvous, a warm welcome awaits at O’Sullivan’s Vintage Social.
