Murty Rabbitt’s in Galway

The best pub in Galway for rugby and food 👌 😋 🏈🏉

Called in here after the rugby, the place was packed but didn't have to wait to long to served and the pints were great. All the staff were friendly and the local lads made us feel more than welcome. We had a really good night and came away with a t-shirt as a souvenir.

A very nice location. There were plenty of seats available on a Monday evening at 6:00 PM. The service was excellent and accommodating to allergies, and a dish was easily changed. The food was delicious.

Located just off of Galways Eyre square, Murty Rabbitt's is easily accessible, and just a short walk from all major traffic links. The venue itself is spacious, and classically sports bar adorned, and wall to wall with sports playing screens , as one might expect from the home of Connaught rugby. The staff whilst generally polite and friendly, all bar one seemed to be studiously avoiding eye contsct, and many a general prompt had to be given, for cutlery, salt & pepper, water etc. I get it, I work in hospitality and the seasonal burn is real.... The food was something of a roller coaster. Between my partner and I we ordered the vegetarian nachos, the boneless ribs, the grilled salmon and the fish pie. Firstly it's nice to have more than one fish option available. The whole steaks and burgers thing really is quite over played. The boneless ribs (that are in fact belly pork not ribs) were delightfully tender and melted in the mouth in a rich and flavourful sauce, the nachos on the other hand , whilst perfectly adequate and undeniably generous for a starter, we're no more thrilling than I might have made for myself from the Centra down the road for half the price. The grilled salmon was delicious, moist and quite the sizable portion, in a rare treat the vegetables that came with it were bright with just the right amount of crispness. Then came the fish pie , presentation wise outstanding, a colourful side salad a beautiful dome of mash with a golden crown of cheese on top... unfortunately that is where the wonder ended. For reasons neither of us could fathom, inside the fish pie was an ENORMOUS amount of mozzarella cheese , I don't mean that sprinkling on the top, I mean IN that fish pie, in such a quantity that every forkful had its own super stringy cheese pull... which I otherwise love in pasta and pizzas; But in fishpie the sheer volume leads to a stringy , chewy and fast congealling meal, that in a rare occurrence, ultimately went uneaten. All in all I've checked it off the list, if your focus is on something else and food happens to be there, it's not so bad; but otherwise a place I don't imagine myself returning to.

A super cosy pub with a rich, hearty stew and really good Guinness on tap.

I’m told I had an excellent time here.

Great place! Mark was a sweetheart during our night out, I cannot recommend enough ☺️

Nice bar and good service- we didn't eat there

Best pint of Guinness I've had in years . Well worth a visit

Comida sabrosa en el centro de la ciudad. Teníamos la hamburguesa y pescado con patatas fritas. Servicio rápido, buen personal. Cerca de Erye Park. Sin duda recomiendo.
