What User doesn't like about The Kings Head:
Good food—-amazing seafood chowder! Service was sub par though. No offer of refills on beverages, etc, and at euros charged per cola, I would have expected more, or at least someone to ck on how our meal was. Again, great food, but lackluster service.

Had the pleasure of dining here many times and our last visit was the tops. Lovely cosy corner. The Scallops were amazing and the Poached Pear Pavlova was delicious! View all feedback.

Best Beef-Gunniess-Stew, great staff, live music at the pub, one of the most beautiful locations of our trip.

The restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere with live music, but service can be slow. While some dishes, like the seafood chowder and scallops, are praised, others, like the oysters, were subpar and overpriced. The pub serves Irish comfort food in adequate portions, though some meals were disappointing. Overall, the experience varied, with mixed reviews on service quality. The ambiance is traditional and child-friendly, catering to a diverse clientele. Prices are reasonable, making it a good spot for a casual meal or a drink with friends, especially for those seeking a typical pub experience in Galway.
