The Kings Head in Galway

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.

Everything was great, fireplace and good atmosphere with bad music and slow service

Comimos aquí después de buenas críticas. Gran ambiente en el pub mientras tomamos una copa en el bar esperando una mesa en el restaurante. Fue una noche ajetreada. Ambos teníamos ostras para empezar que eran preciosas. Para principal tuvimos estofado de carne y clase. Ambos eran abundantes y deliciosos. En general, una gran noche en un encantador pub. Lo recomendaría.

Fantastic pub with live music every day of the year.

Watched a soccer game, listened to music and chatted with people. Good times

Seafood is incredible! Crab legs, lobster and chips, oysters, tomato bruschetta, steamed clams amazing. This is a must visit! Super nice staff! Thank you!

Went for a drink and live music. This is a large place with lots of spaces to hang out. Good place for a beer, felt touristy.

The live music on the weekend is incredible. Traditional Irish music, concert vibes in an intimate setting, with plenty of room for seating.

We stayed three days and Galway is every evening we went there for a drink. The Irish coffee is excellent and the live music is top. Super environment.

The service is friendly, the food is delicious, and the food is served quickly. There were seven of us in the group who didn't have a reservation, but they kindly helped us get great seats. The buildings are also very historical and must be visited when in Galway. High CP value
