John Keogh's in Galway

We went in because another restaurant we were going to was full, good luck for us. The service was fantastic and the food was very good. It's in a busy area; to say the area isn't touristy is a bit bold. There was a good atmosphere on the street and an excellent atmosphere in the pub. The mussels were cooked to perfection and the sauce was good. The stewed meat was excellent. They served tap water straight away, which was appreciated. Guinness is the Guinness of the island. We've been on the Wild Atlantic Way for six days.

If you are in Galway you have to go there! Food, service, atmosphere... Delicious!

A bit of a mixed review here. Loved the atmosphere. The appetizers (whipped goat cheese & pork belly skewers) were exceptional and the chocolate old fashion was one of the best I’ve ever had. The main dishes were inconsistent. About half the group thought theirs was good (fish and chips, mussels, chicken) but mine (lamb) and my wife’s (seafood platers) missed the mark. The lamb was fork tender but was extremely bland. Couldn’t pick up any of the seasoning.

Excellent food. A couple or a group of 8 will find something to eat and share at this up market pub. More of a restaurant but there are bar area tables to also enjoy a drink and a meal.

We were served with such professionalism by Brendan, sit at the bar for your meal when you visit. The chowder and the braised lamb were perfectly balanced. Highly recommend, do go for a visit!

Great food, drinks, service, and atmosphere!

Food was excellent - everyone loved what they ordered. Drinks were also delicious. Staff was lovely / one member at our table had trouble getting a second beer but it may have been the way he was communicating. Kid friendly

Excellent food and atmosphere. Service was ok. Recommend for a special occasion or if you want to eat really good food. Make sure you book online.

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.
