Crane Bar in Galway

16/04/2025: Delicious flavors (the whiskey chocolate is a must have), & a cheerful and welcoming staff

13/04/2025: We opted for Murphy's because it was the only ice cream parlor still open after dinner, which struck us as odd since it was only 8 PM and there were large crowds, particularly of young adults—ideal for an ice cream shop. Upon entering, it quickly became evident that this establishment is renowned for its high-quality ice cream and excellent treatment of its staff, which we truly appreciated. I never imagined I would enjoy bread in my ice cream—it sounds like a terrible mix—but it turned out to be the best ice cream I've ever tasted, and the chocolate whiskey flavor was simply divine. For those with allergies: I’m from Canada and have had a severe cow's milk allergy my entire life. If I consume anything with milk, I need lactaid immediately! However, during my time in Ireland, I found that I could drink milk without any adverse effects. In fact, since returning home, I've been craving Irish milk! So, if you have any dairy sensitivities, rest assured you’ll be fine. Make sure to visit Murphy's Ice Cream while in Galway; you’ll definitely regret it if you miss out! My only suggestion for improvement is regarding their payment system—it was a bit confusing. I nearly left without paying because I mistakenly thought I had completed the transaction, only to realize I had only tapped the tipping machine, which is separate. It would be beneficial for the shop to combine transaction types into one machine. Additionally, be prepared for higher prices, as it’s definitely on the touristy side, but the quality and flavor make it worth every penny.
