Salthill Hotel in Galway

08/01/2026: A Galway classic you can always rely on The Cellar is a Galway staple and one of those places you know you can always depend on. It’s an old reliable in the best possible way. The food is consistently excellent, the portions are generous, and the prices are fair, which isn’t always easy to find anymore. Whether you’re dropping in for a casual meal or bringing someone who’s visiting Galway, it never disappoints. It’s been doing what it does well for years, and that consistency is exactly why it’s such a favourite. Proper comfort food, a solid pint, and great value.

04/01/2026: Not as good as it used to be. Portion sizes and quality of food have taken a noticeable downturn since I last visited a year ago. We had to switch tables as the whole floor of the restaurant was vibrating and it was difficult to have a conversation due to a band practising smashing drums as hard as they could in the basement below, it's shame as it used to be a great little venue
