Great craic, my favorite bar in Galway, all ages but younger side crowd for the 9:30 music session. Affordable beers as well, and woman friendly.
Came in for a few pints and some live music on a Weds evening. The duo performing was excellent mixing some classic Irish folk songs with covers of some contemporary music. Pints were cold and served quickly.
Stopped here after one of our tour guides mentioned it and we had seen it listed online as a place to visit in Galway. It was definitely a very cool experience with live traditional music and the atmosphere of a full Irish pub. The location is right on Shop Street in the middle of it all, and it always seemed to have a crowd anytime we passed by. I'd recommend arriving well before the live music performances if you want to secure a seat. While the drinks can be a bit more expensive here, you are really paying for the overall experience.
Fabulous afternoon here with live music
A friend recommended this place, and the first time I tried to go was on a Saturday evening.. it was CHAOTIC to say the least, I said absolutely not. I was in the area again on a Tuesday evening and stopped in and had the most pleasant time. The place was still crowded but it was a nice vibe, eventually we found seats at the bar. The Guinness here in particular was good and I enjoyed the apple ciders too. The service for drinks is really quick and the live music was really nice! My husband and I met a local fella and had a nice conversation for a bit then headed off. Overall had a really nice time and I'm so happy I was able to come on a slower paced day, highly recommend.
