👍👍 I had a fabulous facial with Chloe today. The products felt lovely and my skin feels amazing and is glowing after it. The room itself was really relaxing, the bed was comfortable and the fan was a lovely touch. I'm looking forward to my next facial already :)

👍👍 Can not recommend Caoimhe enough. I have been going to her over a year now and she is the only person I trust to do my eyebrows. I always get compliments on them and her attention to detail is amazing. Such a friendly girl too

The Pear Tree Café & Wine Bar
Cafe
🫤 I used to really like the Pear Tree for its lovely atmosphere but I’m afraid that after my experience today, I will not be returning and will not give any praise about the cafe to friends. The bathroom was in a terrible state with water all over the floor, no toilet paper or paper towels and trash o...

LashLuv Lashes and Brows Galway

🫤 Disappointing treatment from LashLuv. Had been going for years. Had a spinal operation and was on heavy medication. Missed a couple of appointments (explained the reason). Paid deposit for both which they kept but with no explanation they just blocked me.

👍👍 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.

👍👍 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!)

👍 The food is really good! I haven't had many better noodle dishes in Europe. The setting of the restaurant is nice too, and the music creates a nice vibe. It is not too loud, so you are still able to have a good conversation. Furthermore they have an excellent tea selection and I was also happy to se...
