👍👍 The whiskey bar was amazing, we came for one whiskey and stayed for 10 because of Rory the barkeeper! Rory could tell us a story about each whiskey we tried. The music was of high quality. The drinks were amazing. Unfortunately the food was the worst of our trip, so avoid that at all cost! The nacho...

👍👍 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!)

👍👍 We went without a reservation and even though it was a Saturday there was room, they accepted us. The employees are kind and caring.
