Personal trainer
👍👍 I’ve been a member of Results for almost 2 years now. Cannot recommend enough, trainers are very knowledgable and the small group training is great for a non intimidating and friendly atmosphere, especially when starting out!

Coffee shop
👍👍 Cannot recommend this place enough! Such a terrific hole-in-the-wall cafe that’s a little outside the bars and crowds of Galway. Coffee was perfect and our barista Áine was so friendly! She provided so many local recommendations for food, more coffee, and things to see. You won’t regret coming here.

Ireland's Smallest Comedy Club
Comedy club
👍👍 Superb place to see quality comedy and see real pro's do time. Such a great value as well. On Thursday, free pizza is included in admission. The host of the show is amazing in his crowd work and joke delivery. If you're in Galway City the night of a show, do yourself a favor and just go.

Wine bar
👍👍 Absolutely gorgeous place for excellent wine & charcuterie boards. Ger is doing an exceptional job at being hostess, front of house, waitress, etc! It’s a very small & cosy spot so would recommend booking in advance. Great advice from Ger on what food & drink to order. Loved every minute & will abso...

Dance school
👍👍 Jay, Gillian and Michael have brought the love of dance back into our home (and hearts!) over the last year- their positivity and encouragement have made class fun and ignited an enthusiasm for learning more for both the pre-teen and adult dance club groups we have joined. Recognition of individuali...

👍👍 I have been consistently attending morning sessions, 3 times per week, before work for nearly a year now. In a regular gym, I'd have lost the motivation after a couple of weeks, but here, classes are fun, people are nice and Ollie hols you accountable in an encouraging way. I've lost weight, my body...

Self defense school
👍👍 I can't recommend Adam enough. My sons attended Krav Maga classes for over two years. It was a good time for them, movement, discipline, self-defense technique, they gained self-confidence and motivation. Adam has a great approach to each person, has the ability to motivate and develop habits, is...

Silent Cinema & Film Studio
Movie theater
👍👍 An evening at the Silent Cinema in Galway is highly recommended. It was such a novelty for me to watch some of the earliest film which has been put together so well. The overall experience of the night is so enjoyable because of the the room decor, background music and bring your own wine! Lots of c...

Physical fitness program
👍👍 I've been training at The Pole Garage for almost 2 years now. It has always been a super warm and inclusive studio to train at. You feel safe and at home right away. Instructors are friendly and professional. Cannot believe the amount of progress I've made with the team here in such a short time.

Drumgreenagh Home, Beauty & Gifts
Gift shop
👍👍 I'm now officially a repeat customer of Drumgreenagh. I'm useless at picking gifts and find Karen can help choose the appropriate gift within a certain budget. The packaging and quality of items are brilliant. I find the website easy to navigate and process my orders. I feel good buying from an Iris...

Yoga studio
👍👍 My wife and I visited Galway recently, and checked out An Seomra Yoga Studio before we arrived, keen to join some local yogis on the mat. It was lovely doing a class with Paul (H), who we found to be really knowledgeable, and a lovely teacher. A small class size of friendly people in a beautiful s...

Tribe Coffee Shop
Vegetarian cafe and deli
👍👍 Nowhere in the reviews dose it say that “this coffee is so much nicer than tescos mellow and smooth instant coffee” so let me say just that. No but for real this coffee is insane and bares no comparison to that mud jar.

Tapas restaurant
👍👍 Knowing my friends visiting Galway, and knowing the town has a distinct Spanish influence, I just knew they had to have at least one outstanding Spanish tapas food truck delivered without fail! The food is amazingly delicious and the know Javi’s is so gracious and warm. They hit top marks across th...

Clothing store
👍👍 I would like to thank Ger for an amazing shopping experience. You went above and beyond helping me find the perfect outfit and headpiece for an upcoming wedding. The shop is full of gems. I haven't liked shopping for clothes since putting on quite a bit of weight I also got beautiful tops and a...
