John Keogh's in Galway

We had a great dinner here after our Aran Island tour. Short walk from the docks and were able to grab a table at 6pm on a Sunday night with no reservation. Fish and chips enjoyed by a few, others had a burger or supreme of chicken. Onion rings were very good! Sticky Toffee pudding for dessert was tasty!

Superb food, atmosphere, service & chat.

Delicious fish and chips and great Guinness

Good welcome, seated immediately, oisters, soup and beer...lovely!

The menu seemed a bit restricted

This authentic Irish pub has earned accolades for its exceptional food and warm hospitality . For many in our group, it was their first experience in a traditional Irish pub, and the atmosphere did not disappoint! I opted for the beef steak, accompanied by crispy onion rings and hearty chips. The portion was generous, and the flavors were satisfying—a true Irish welcome on a plate. Of course, those who indulged in the local brews found them to be the perfect complement to the meal. A fantastic start to our Irish adventure, filled with good food, great company, and the unmistakable charm of Galway.

Excellent food, drink selection, atmosphere, and service.

Somebody send us there the first night we stayed in Galway: The food, we heard, was good. It was more than that: Service was class, craic was ninety, and the grub outstanding. We went back there on our second night as well.

Amazing food. We had lamb and mash and also a burger. We also shared the brisket croquettes. The food was fantastic. So tasty and well presented. Good Guinness and decent prices. Staff were really lovely and the lady who was the Maitre D, was really helpful in finding us a table even though it was packed. Might be worth trying to book if you can.
