The late Robert A. Merry founded the firm of “Merry” as a bottling company in Dungarvan in the year 1868. The business grew steadily and in 1883 an extensive bonded warehouse in Beau Street was opened in the fine premises at 5&6 the mall, Waterford. It was here that Merrys stored their wide range of whiskeys in selected casks where they took particular pride in the fact that they were one of the largest holders of Old pot Still Whiskey in the South of Ireland. They also stocked popular brands of scotch whiskeys. It was through this that the business’ reputation for giving good value and excellent quality was established and “Merrys” soon became a household name.
Throughout the years Merrys food and drink stock was second to none and their commitment to their customers ensured that they provided this standard of excellence at an honest price. This tradition is still maintained today. Merrys Bar & Restaurant (Gastro Pub) endeavours uphold the enviable reputation for the quality and freshness of our food by using local & organic produce where possible and to ensure our customers receive an excellent level of service of which Robert A. Merry would be proud.
