McSwiggans in Galway

11/06/2026: We were able to make reservations at Hooked the same day and had no trouble getting a table. It was an easy walk from our Airbnb in the city center. The atmosphere was more modern than I had expected—not the traditional Irish seafood restaurant vibe—but I really liked it. It felt fresh, stylish, and relaxed. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive at the start of the meal, offering excellent recommendations, particularly when it came to choosing a wine. After that, though, she seemed to disappear and we didn't see her again until the end of the meal, which was a bit unusual. Other staff members checked on us from time to time, so we were still well taken care of. The food itself was very good, with the fish and chips being a standout. Overall, Hooked delivered a delicious meal in a contemporary setting and is well worth a visit if you're looking for quality seafood in Dublin.
