EJ Kings Bar & Restaurant in Galway

18/09/2025: Went here for our anniversary. Food, service and atmosphere was excellent. Highly recommended.

10/09/2025: Day trip to Galway on a rainy Sunday… We found Kirby’s due to its good reviews on here - good to know the process works. Being located just off the main thoroughfare we were concerned it could be packed. However, we discovered the restaurant side of the venue was surprisingly not so busy. Decisions quickly made we settled on a high top table with a good vantage point to watch the comings and goings of Galway. My chums ordered pints of ‘The Black Stuff’ and the beef and Guinness slow cooked stew - after all we are in Ireland. Whilst I opted for a veggie option of chickpea burger and ‘secret sauce’ ! Although looking back I’m sure they needn’t be that secretive ;-) . The stew and the Guinness were triumphant!!! Consumed in silence - always a good sign! My burger was… well a veggie burger albeit well cooked could have done with a little more of a kick plus the serve of fries we thought a little meagre. On our departure we discovered a lovely band had begun to play on the other side of the bar and some guests started to dance, seemed like a superlative way to enjoy the rainy afternoon. The team are super friendly and obliging although the gents toilet could do with a good scour and a little love. Contented we headed back out into Galway ready for the afternoon’s adventures. Thank you
