Merchant Café & Bar in Galway

We arrive to Galway for Paddy's day . All very nice and all excited . Very busy everywhere. We seen your place nice and cosy. We got in. At the bar was some free space for the 4 of us. I asked the lady dressed in black if we seat at the bar, is there any chance to put the match one aswel as the other tv( Man utd- Liverpool) ? And the answer I got was: Are you having a lough? Straight away she changed her mood and go behind the bar and told to her staff very loud : guys, I feel I don't want to serve this guy. I was like, omg. Here we go! My short holiday vibe destroyed in front of my friends . 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ So we walk out. I give 5 star because I know how important the reviews are , but just so you know , that lady's behaviour dosent even deserve 1 star. I sorry to say that, but she has to be more friendly. Not even as a joke that type of behaviour wouldn't be good . By the way. I work in the same industry and I know how important is at list to try to friendly with everyone.

This is a good place to stop for breakfast or a coffee before boarding a coach, bus or train. It's cheaper, fresher and better than the coffee you'll pay for in the stations, plus you get to sit down, use the bathroom or just read the paper.

Very happy I stumbled on this cafe for lunch! Ordered the buttermilk chicken wrap with ceasar dressing which came toasted with a side of crisps and salad. Best wrap and crisps I've ever had! Salad was a little too sweet for me... had several pickled ingredients. Staff were friendly, service fast. All the customers leaving seemed happy.

This was the best ham and cheese toasty I’ve ever had.

Could be better. We had to wait over 1 hour to get our food, and the food that we got on our plate didn't fully match what was on the menu. (Mashed potatoes instead of dauphinoise potatoes)

1 employee there seemed annoyed just because our (me and my friend) entrance interrupted her conversation with another employee. (Don't wanna say who was maybe i got it wrong) After that everyone was cool helpful and kind. I tried the Irish breakfast, i didn't like it much, maybe it wasn't my cup of tea. The coffee was great!

Parfait, service au top, personnel aux petits soins. Quelque peu cher, mais la qualité est là

Nice, bright, spacious bar. Food was nice and service efficient
