Power’s Bar
Dunmore East is a small fishing village on
the south-east coast of Ireland, 16kms from
the city of Waterford.
It sits on the western side of the Waterford
Harbour Estuary, 4.8kms from Hook Head in
Wexford.
Dunmore East, Co. Waterford,
Ireland
What would Dunmore be like without Power's Bar? It has been there forever, entrenched in the history of the village. I
remember it when it was a pub come grocer shop come butchers, back in the late 60's
when I moved to the village. It has changed since then, but it is still Power's Bar.
Look at this photo (one of my favourite photos on the site). Where do you think it was taken?
Oh yes, and of course Power's Bar was the venue where the Good Old Boys had their best
gigs! (in my opinion :-)

These old ledgers and photos from Power’s Bar contain a wealth of information about Power's Bar and the village.
In the late 70's I took a series of 360-degree b/w panoramic photos of the dock, taken next to the lighthouse. I
developed and printed them as 10 X 8 prints in a darkroom (or airing cupboard, as it was) at the top of Tir na nOg
(aka Pitt's house, aka Chiefy's house), and gave them to Peter Power, who offered to put them up in the bar. He put
the photos together in a frame, and told me later that the first time he did it, the glass broke, because it was too
wide. I am glad to say that the frame is still hanging in the top bar behind the middle seats.
In fact, here it is!
