Best places: Pubs in Galway, Ireland

Cosy bar, opened in 1942, with bric-a-brac on the walls and ceiling, outdoor seating and live music.

👍👍 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!)

Traditional watering hole known for its varied nightly blues, country & roots acts across 2 stages.

👍👍 This is a very traditional pub with live music and a huge selection of beers and ciders. We tasted cider with low alcohol. Great atmosphere.

👍👍 Wonderful traditional Irish pub. We stopped in for an afternoon pint. The place was packed, but some gracious guests offered seats with them. We were able to get our beers quickly and had nice conversation with other guests. The music was lively and not too loud. We can’t wait to return.

Cosy, all-wood pub with food from a stylish restaurant upstairs, open fireplaces and live music.

👍👍 Please go here! Great service behind the bar. Live traditional music. Super awesome vibe. But THEN you walk through the back! Order food from the Bus! Outdoor caravan palace! Tenders were cooked perfectly. Was super happy with the recommendation of the B BBQ sauce. Super unique “peanut bbq?” Place i...

This intimate bar lures a hip young crowd to its craft beer choices, plus live DJs and TV sports.

Fortunately we had a good time during the quiz, coming second and winning a €75 tab, however, afterwards when we tried to order drinks and a bartender b...

👍👍 What friendly staff! Great service and very attentive even though we were sitting outside. Didn’t eat here, just a few drinks. Will visit again if we are in Galway.

Traditional pub featuring all-day dining & hefty meals, plus a large whiskey list & sports on TV.

Laid-back, long-standing watering hole with 5 bars across 2 floors and cosy nook-and-cranny seating.

😠 Almost beyond belief.... we had an absolutely shocking experience with Monroes on Saturday night. We reserved an area for 20 odd people for my sister's hen on Saturday night but were advised on Monday last that the area would be an outdoor and not an indoor area. On Saturday, we asked in advance i...

👍👍 Love the idea of half pints! Great environment, not too loud to have a conversation. But it does get crowded around 8 pm.

👍👍 Absolutely wonderful Guinness! The staff are very friendly and attentive.

👍 Dropped in here whilst having a walk round Galway one Monday night. Bit off the beaten track so was very quiet but it was a Monday. Lovely warm welcoming place though.

😐 Used to absolutely love Harry’s before it’s rebrand (haven’t been since covid). Was a bit disappointed with our visit even though we were one of the first orders of the day and it wasn’t busy yet. Maybe we caught them on a bad day but overall we remember it being so much better. Not much of a greeti...
