The Kings Head in Galway

Hands down the best fish and chips in Ireland.

Great atmosphere and historical feeling. Nice people and very tasty food. Clean and calm place. You need a reservation here. I recommend to visit this restaurant.

Excellent service and excellent food, especially the stew.

We were there on the weekend, which wasn't a good idea! It was completely overcrowded, so we left after a drink.

Nice old Irish Pub with decent food and drinks and good music. We liked the fish & chips. Generous portions at reasonable prices.

Delicious food! Great service until it got busy, then it was difficult to get some attention. But we have been there many times now and the food is consistently good and we like the pub very much.

The beef stew was amazing. So flavorful! Super fun to stick around and watch the Irish trad music after dinner. Fun spot!

I like the food and decor. Good stop when you explore city center !

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.

Interesting Pub. Great Staff. Good info on the beers available. Good range of local and regional beers. Great history. Interesting venue.
