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. 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...

👍👍 Was my first time getting eyelash extensions with Monika , I explained to her what my desired look was and she gave me exactly that 😍 as it was my first time getting them done I was quite nervous that they might be too much, but after getting them done they looked natural and exactly what I wanted!...

Store
👍👍 Newly reopened little bar near the city centre. Great place for a drink with friendly staff and very different from the big, food oriented, places around the area. They specialise in cocktails (as well as all the usual suspects) and if you are on a dry January there are good mocktail options.

👍👍 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!)

The Quay Street Kitchen
Irish restaurant
👍👍 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...

Bar
😠 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...

👍 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...
