👍👍 We were lucky and were able to get last minute appointments with the owner, Angus. He and his team are so knowledgeable and friendly! He did a great job on my first tattoo and I can’t wait to go back every time I’m in Galway!

Esquires - The Organic Coffee Co (Eyre Square)

Cafe

👍👍 Delightful cafe. I was warmly greeted at the door, and thankful that the shop was not overly busy at the time. I’m sure it gets packed at times! Had a very hearty bagel breakfast sandwich (one of the largest I’d seen). This place caters to locals and tourists. Close to the tail/bus station and they...

👍👍 My wife & I are in town on a vacation (holiday) bus tour from America and wanted something better than hotel food. This place is FANTASTIC! We had Wings & a burger and they were both delicious.

Wildlands

Adventure sports center

👍 We got there early and some of the kids weren't tall enough for the zip lining, so they swapped them over to the smaller course. We had our own food as we had seen poor reviews for the restaurant there and the fact there were 18 of us there, we would have had to book in advance. The kids loved it ex...

O'Connell's Bar

Bar

👍👍 Get the white hag. It's an IPA specially brewed for this pub. One of the best ones I tasted in Ireland. Fries place in the back is amazing as well, especially the peanut butter satay sauce.

Tigh Chóilí

Irish pub

👍👍 We stopped for a pint and stayed for a couple because the music and atmosphere were great. After dinner we stopped again for another pint and more music. It’s the best place in Galway for traditional Irish music (at least today!)

Galway City Distillery

Bar

👍👍 Our group had a wonderful time at Galway City Distillery. Best gin & tonic I have ever had. The highlight of our visit was the tour from Jim, who was very welcoming.

👍👍 Very cosy, intimate restaurant. Lovely staff, very laid back, but good service. Menu wasn't big, but had good options for all. Only wines, bottled beer and cider, no hard spirits. Seafood chowder and lamb shank was absolutely amazing! Very big portions, next time I'd go just for mains. Very convenie...

Dela Restaurant

Irish restaurant

🫤 Disappointed😔 I was quite disappointed with this experience. Whenever we passed by this restaurant there was a big line so we thought it would be a good place to eat. We had to wait about half an hour in a line. We had our hopes up and we were excited. Upon entering, the restaurant was packed wit...
