Located on Arundel Square in Waterford, this new pub takes its name from the nearby gate of the same name in Waterford’s ancient city wall. Long-since demolished, the Arundel gate stood in Arundel Lane – immediately north of this site.
The pub has been formed through the amalgamation of a distinctive 90’s former Bank to the East and two Georgian townhouses to the West with an infill extension connecting the two volumes.
Waterford is world-famous for glass making. The making of glass in the city dates back more than 200 years to the late 18th century, when the brothers George and William Penrose assembled the finest craftsmen – glassblowers, glass-cutters and engravers – in what was known as the ‘Waterford Glass House’.
Throughout the building there are references to the ancient Viking discoveries and preserved medieval walls, in the floor finishes and artwork.
