I was sent here by O’Connell’s as I was searching for Ed Sheeran. He was not here either. As I had traveled so far, I had a few pints, perhaps more than a few and finally did see Ed. Actually 3 of him. It was the last thing I remember. So overall, an excellent pub. Will return once the authorities release me 5* Cheers 🍻

Some spot, loads of character (and a few characters) can't complain about the Guinness hits the spot. Not sure if they do food, eatin' is cheatin'

The best pub in Galway Bay, you enter a timeless space. Smile as you sit next to people you don't know, drink a great beer, and enjoy live music every night with talented artists. An evening meeting point worth a visit.

The atmosphere is very good, everyone dances to the music as if we are all good friends, and the decoration is also very distinctive.

This pub has a great Irish atmosphere with Irish muaic playing by local bands. I tried their own Irish stout and it was delicious. There are seats outside and it's near sea side so will be a good choice for having a pint after walking by the sea.

If you only visit one pub in Ireland, make it this one.
I've been in a lot of pubs on this trip, and O'Connor's in Salthill is on another level. The place itself is like walking into a living museum — every inch of wall and ceiling covered in lanterns, copper pots, old signs, and a hundred years of Galway history. Grab a pint of Guinness, find a seat near the session table, and settle in.
And the music — this is the real thing. No stage, no show for tourists. The musicians sit at a table right in the middle of the room like it's been done for generations. The night we were there, one young musician absolutely stole the show, moving between fiddle, guitar, and Irish tin whistle like it was nothing, singing his heart out while the whole pub sang along. His name is Cullen Vance. Do yourself a favor and give him a listen; you'll be hearing that name again.
Friendly staff, perfect pints, unforgettable atmosphere. This is the Ireland you came for.
We'll be back.
