The Kings Head in Galway

The drinks are great and great craic at night. However, my husband and I stopped here for dinner one night when looking for seafood and couldn’t get in to the upscale seafood place nearby. 45 minute wait for 2 people at 7:30pm on a Monday-would highly recommended the salted caramel espresso martini-amazing! We ordered the seafood platter and scallops. The oysters had pieces of shell in them and tasted of pure salt water-I love oysters but these were just not that great. The scallops were slightly overcooked as well. I would avoid this place for seafood and stick with drinks and possibly traditional food only.

Another fantastic pub. Traditional, quaint, rustic, and great. Excellent beer selection, good food, and a cozy atmosphere. The pub has two floors and is huge. The staff is great, and you can meet friendly people there relatively quickly.

Legit bar in the Temple Bar area. Good for tourists and locals alike, though I’m guessing more tourists at high times. Music was great and enjoyable.

All the hottest peeps in town were there.

Great place to have lunch and soak up the Galway vibes. King Head is centuries old and has a lot of history. Service was quick and the food was good. Would recommend the seafood chowder and fish and chips.

Fantastic experience. We were able to get seated but they get busy and there may be a moderate wait. Great food and wait staff.

Great place for people watching - sit outside if you can - there was live music almost right in front!

We really were not expecting such a wonderful meal, it was spectacular 😮 can’t wait to go back!! Crab claws and lobster out of this world 🌍

During our visit to Galway, we went to this pub based on a recommendation from our tour guide. We decided to go spontaneously and therefore had to wait about 15 minutes for our table. We passed the time with some fries from the stand across the street. Our table in the pub was very cozy, and the service was friendly, attentive, and quick. We all had the stew with mashed potatoes and one of us also ordered the soup of the day. The stew was a bit too bitter for our taste; perhaps it was the celery. The portion was adequate. The stew cost €25 per plate. The atmosphere was good, even though there was no music playing.

Was only at the bar and it was very cozy
