Garavan's in Galway

A typical Irish pub on the busiest street in the city. It's always busy, but it's easy to get a table, and they make one of the best Irish coffees I've ever had. Despite all the crowds, the restrooms are clean, and even though the staff is overwhelmed, they're very friendly. It also has a street-facing terrace, a bar area, and small tables in the lounges. 100% recommended.

Best Irish coffee of my life. I spent the rest of my Ireland trip trying to find one just like it, but there is no comparison.

Popped in Garavan’s Bar for a quick Irish coffee this afternoon. Cozy, warm, the kind of bar that makes you forget what time it is. Coffee was a punch, whiskey burned right ....bartender could’ve cracked a smile, but hey, it’s part of the charm. Four stars well earned. 😎

(Apparently a) New bartender - had 14 people backed up. Service was SLOWWWW.... Only 1 on a crowded Sunday night. Experienced bartender took over and got things moving along. It was PAINFUL to order a drink. Maybe it's much better most times. The "regulars" were very frustrated.

Despite its position in the centre of tourist Galway, this is a traditional and friendly Irish Bar.

Talking to the bartenders is like having your own whisky consultants!

We passed by this place and decided to walk in after seeing the sign claiming they serve the best Irish coffee — and it did not disappoint! The Irish coffee was excellent, the atmosphere was great, and the music was spot on. They also have a really cool whiskey selection. Definitely a good place worth stopping by.

You HAVE to get the Irish Coffee. Best I've EVER had, hands down!

One of the many nice traditional pubs in Galway city.

Wonderful spirits. Delicious Irish coffee
