Carroll's on Dominick Street in Galway

Wife and I stumbled across this pub walking home from dinner on a summer Thursday night. It was an amazing experience, hard to describe, but maybe like walking into a large Irish musical family's home. About 15 musicians ranging in age from perhaps 80 to 25, sitting in a circle, and jamming out Irish jigs and ballads. Not sure how often it happens, but if it's on, you should go!

Great evening with a group on Friday. Staff very accommodating, atmosphere brilliant. We all had a great night.

Gray place and unique ambiance ! Waitress awesome !

Amazing place at a great location, and I'd specifically like to praise the staff. They are very attentive and fast, a drunk guy started a one sided conversation with us and they were immediately on him and sent him out. They patrol the place and make sure everything is fine, but they are very friendly at the same time, if you behave normally.

I think I've found my favorite pub in Galway city center. An incredibly positive and authentic Irish pub experience. A table at the entrance is reserved for traditional session musicians. The atmosphere is fantastic. The music is audible but conversation is not impossible. There's also a beer garden at the back.

Dog friendly and nice beer garden

We recently hosted an event here and couldn’t have asked for a better venue. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect setting for our gathering. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout the entire process, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a fantastic place to host an event, celebration, or party!

Had my daughters 21st recently in carroll's bar on Dominic street Galway, The venue ticks all the boxs, I would highly recommend Carroll's for all party's, special occasions etc

Spent a special moment here. Heard about this place by a local while looking for a good irish coffee. Turned out they couldn't do it but...my wife and I were amazed and glad to spend some time in the "Beer garden". A pretty patio with large tables where the sun can come through (when there is of course ahah). And on our way out after a quality time with a little card game we brought and a fresh pint of Guinesss, we found the seats in front of the traditional irish session available. And the atmosphere there was so cosy and warm, as you can see on the video, we stayed another 2 hours just to enjoy.

Excellent venue, very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere, will attend again and enjoy a night there
