We went to this pub for a light meal, and were enticed by the menu outside which listed seafood chowder. Guess what wasn't available? Yep, seafood chowder. So we had a plate of starters to share instead. Deep fried everything, and not good.

We wandered into the pub based on the sign boasting Trad Music Nightly and were lucky enough to order the Fish N Chips, they were the best we've had in Ireland (Dublin and Galway alike), the fish was fresh and just melted in your mouth while having a tasty light crunchy batter. The Chips were crispy on the outside but... More

Tasty food, nice size portions, the steak is amazing. A great place for a nice pint of Guinness. Great music in the bar every night.

Me and my lady friend spent an amazing weekend in Galway, everywhere we went was terrific , that was until we entered this establishment for an Irish coffee before we got on the bus home. The two lady's on the bar were rude at best and would be better suited to shovelling manure. The coffee we got had sour cream,... More

We enjoyed all the traditional music, food and beer. A great evening for all. We also caught them filming a documentary and saw Irish dancing with the music banjo, fiddle and accordion. Great fun
