Best places: Bars and Pubs in Galway, Ireland

👍👍 Michael was funny and entertaining. He provided a great history of Galway including facts, fallacies and legends. Thanks for a funny 1.5 hour tour. Rona and Vicki Australia :-)

👍👍 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.

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!)

👍👍 Oh So HOOKED!!! This place was recommended by a local as the best fish 🐠🐟 and chips place in town. She was absolutely right. And we are totally hooked. Ordered said fish and chips and seafood chowder. Both were second to none. Topped with an outstanding service and very unique interior design, mak...

👍👍 Spectacular cocktails! Dennis is an absolute treasure. Everything was delicious, and the Salted Caramel Rum and the strawberry gin cocktail (I forgot the exact ingredients) stood out especially.

👍👍 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. He had fantastic insights on local history and it was fun learning about their distilling process. For a big group of 13, this was a g...

👍👍 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...

🫤 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...

👍👍 Walked in, grabbed a table right away. But it was pretty busy. Food came out pretty quickly and it was good! This place was actually recommended by a local, and have to say it did not disappoint.

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.

Organic European dishes served in a bright setting with colourful chairs and rustic wooden tables.

😠 Disgraceful staff behaviour! We waited almost an hour for our food, when it finally arrived, it was good but cold but said nothing as we were ravenous. The bill arrived and was incorrect with nearly €18 more than what we ordered. The attitude and behaviour of the manager Nikki was horrendous. When a...

👍👍 WE HAD A GREAT MEALS IN THE RESTAURANT, LOVELY FOOD, SUPER SERVICE, WILL GO BACK IF GO TO GALWAY CITY AGAIN.

👍👍 Fantastic food! The Siciliana pizza is one of the best authentic Italian pizzas I've tried. Try dipping the crust in their pesto mayo too.

Elegant rooms & suites in a traditional hotel with an upscale restaurant and a carved-oak bar.

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

Locally sourced fish, plus steaks and deli boards in a chic exposed brick and dark wood restaurant.

👍 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...
