Reviews
"A must stop for Irish Trad and central meeting spot in Galway. Top Class musicians host twice nightly sessions and you never know who will pop in! I wandered by one evening and Frankie Gavin was performing. It's a great pub sure to bring smiles!"
"Live music! Great atmosphere! And everyone was very friendly. You have to stop by. Very cool spot."
"This was my first visit as an American to an authentic Irish pub and I really enjoyed the visit. Great live Irish music and plenty of pint choices. Opened in 1905. Friendly efficient service."
"One of the best of many great spots in Galway to pretend you're Irish. A Céilí band makes a daily appearance and plays at the table inside then door. If you don't like their music, you probably don't have a pulse. If they don't show up while you're there, the pub is usually packed full of grizzled old gents on the Guinness, and the pub is situated right at the heart of the city, right opposite the hottest of many busking hospots."
"Enjoyed the friendly atmosphere with traditional Irish music at 6pm and 930pm nightly. Bartenders were all friendly and efficient. Musicians were very good and played a long time. Enjoyed ‘refreshments’ with locals and other people visiting from out of town."
