About The Local

The Local opened its door in Dungarvan for the first time on the 25th of November 1999. The building had been in the Byrne family since the early 1960’s when Helena’s father, Johnny bought it. Back then it was then called Cooneys Pub.

The building was then turned into an Electrical business, but Johnny renewed the liquor licence every year for £200. There was always a display of bottled beers and spirits in the Electrical shop, showing the public that there was indeed a licence on the premises.

Rachel Cotter

Amazing. An absolute gem. This bar is just delightful. Wonderful authentic feel to the place. With a utopian collection of original pictures, sports memorabilia, authentic Waterford County Heritage. Met the owners...a beautiful, wonderful genuine couple. Drinks were reasonably priced. Bathroom facility was very clean and well kept. A pride of place in the Square in Dungarven. Would 100% recommend this place. 5+ *. Highest rating and compliment I can give an establishment.

Busy place, popular with tourists. Friendly service, excellent food. My companion enjoyed a full Irish breakfast while I had a superb steak on a blaa (a local type of soft bread). We were full for the day.

Music at The Local

The Home of Great Music

Irish Traditional Music is Donnchadh’s forté, as he plays both the uileann pipes and bodhrán. Donnchadh has been playing music since the age of 10 and has toured the world with the band Danú, as one of their founding members.

Hence, traditional music is certainly at the fore at The Local.
