Monroe's in Galway

10/05/2025: Location: High Street off Shop Street Service: Laura was great and personable! Very helpful with drink selections. Really knows her stuff! Food: Delicious! I had the scallops and husband had monkfish. Atmosphere: Nice set up for a date night or a group outing. We sat at a high two-top. There was a long high table near us. Noticed some other tables that could accommodate larger parties. A nice seating arrangement mixture. We ended up returning later in the evening after the restaurant closed. Honestly, we wanted to visit one of the many popular pubs mentioned on different social platforms, but they were too packed. We heard music coming from here, so we decided to check it out. It wasn’t standing room only, and we found a small table for two! Music: While we were looking forward to listening to trad music, the duo that evening was great! They performed covers and were very entertaining, Everyone singing along made for a lively evening. They are very good musicians and singers (didn’t catch their names, but it was Easter Monday). Merch: We prefer buying souvenir tees from places we eat/visit/tour, and they had tees for sale so we bought two. The back says, “Irish ‘Pub of the Year’ 1651”. Would dine there again and go for late night music and a pint if fortunate enough to visit Galway again.
