O'Brien Chop House Restaurant Lismore, Waterford Restaurant

Welcome to O'Brien Chop House Restaurant

in the heritage town of Lismore, Co. Waterford

Opened during the first week of July 2009 by Justin & Jenny Green of Ballyvolane House, O’Brien Chop House is an unpretentious eatery that offers diners traditional and robust Irish recipes in a wonderfully atmospheric old Victorian pub. All ingredients are sourced locally and served simply at very affordable prices.

Our Thinking

O’Brien is the original name of the premises, imprinted above the main window and the term 'Chop House' has been borrowed from London’s old chop houses where you could sample a variety of chops, cutlets and steaks on the bone. At O’Brien Chop House, we always have an assortment of chops, cutlets, steaks and pies on the menu. Seafood dishes also feature including seasonal oysters and whole fish cooked on the bone.
