O'Connor's Famous Pub in Galway

Old style decorations. Staff are nice and very happy help foreigner customer. Love it! 😁

Quirkiness decorated original Irish pub. Great live music, especially if you love a sing-song-along!!

Typical Irish pub. Live music, extensive drinks menu, no food.

One of the most unforgettable pubs I’ve ever visited! O’Connor’s in Salthill isn’t just a pub — it’s a full-on experience. The atmosphere is pure magic: think low lighting, walls covered in antiques, fairy lights hanging from the ceiling, and live traditional Irish music that brings the whole place to life. The Guinness is poured to perfection, and the staff are some of the friendliest you’ll meet in Ireland — full of stories, smiles, and genuine hospitality. Whether you’re there for a quiet pint or a lively night of music and craic, this place delivers every time. A must-visit if you’re anywhere near Galway. I’d come back in a heartbeat!

Excellent pub amd atmosphere. Frank is a great publican

We didn't eat at the bar, but the atmosphere was great, the live music was fantastic, and the people were so much fun to watch! "Kathleen" (62?) was celebrating her birthday and was having a fabulous time.

Nice place, decent pint. Trad session on when I was in which was pleasant, and a nice smoking area outside which I enjoyed in the sun. Presence of a bouncer for the pub seemed unnecessary and brought the atmosphere down, considering the main task seemed to involve directing people to the correct door for entry rather than dealing with disruptive customers. I presume the business has reason for their presence but just soured my experience slightly.

Beautiful. Characteristic. Amazing. See you soon.

Nice pub close to pearse stadium

Best atmosphere in town, live music every night and always lively.
