The best restaurants

02/01/2026: Overall, the food was not great. Most dishes came out, colder incorrect, and had to be remain. The oysters were the only thing that was worthwhile. Other than that you have an inexperienced kitchen and a wait staff, too worried about their tip and not about the customers experience.

28/12/2025: We really enjoyed it. The view was spectacular, the staff were very friendly, and the food was amazing.

10/11/2025: Having wasted 10 years of my life before accidentally finding the best coffee shop (and so much more) in Galway, then to find it's closing. Such a shame because it really is so good. But at least I also now know of the other & remaining branch: Briarhill Grind here I come!

24/09/2025: Very good home made breakfast ! Scones were delicious and latte too ! Enjoy !

31/03/2026: Great coffee shop, Katie and Alina know their coffee. Can't be replicated anywhere. Doing a great job.

18/03/2026: Great coffee, probably the best around, great food options and quality quick v friendly service. Consistently great

06/05/2026: They gave me a jelly snake for this review. Rarely been so happy

29/03/2026: Great atmosphere all year round – the place has its own unique charm no matter the season. On selected days, there is live music which really adds to the vibe. The pub is large and spacious, so it’s perfect both for meeting friends and for a relaxed evening. Highly recommended!

18/05/2026: The service was great. The location of the hotel was great. It wasn't far from were me and my family had to go to. We were their to watch the ulster final.

15/05/2026: Very good quality food. Good service

24/05/2026: Attended a birthday party here. The venue was great inside and out. The toilets were clean. The staff were friendly.

22/05/2026: I love the new look Briar Rose and the new lunch menu is really good. I had the pastrami with sauerkraut on sourdough bread and it was delicious. I had a sneaky look at the dinner menu and I'm definitely going back for the Tomahawk Steak.

27/12/2025: Much better quality than Primark

21/12/2025: Love shoping there always a pleasure and good in price

26/10/2025: Very cozy atmosphere and nice coffee.

20/09/2025: Great folks, great coffee. Also had the lotus cinnamon roll. It was fresh and truly out of the world. The food is prepared fresh in their own kitchen and sells out fast.

29/12/2025: Ava gave me great service, very attentive and can make a great cappuccino!

18/12/2025: My 8 year old daughter says that "the hot chocolates are the best!" I'd share a similar sentiment for the coffee. My 4 year old sons commentary was that "the Santa on my coffee cup is cool" which is the final touch to probably my most comprehensive and ground-breaking review on Google.

24/08/2025: Visited here today. Really lovely breakfast. Friendly service, and a really good buzz to the place. It is small, as has been mentioned in other reviews, but it really wasn’t a problem.

30/07/2025: Pequeño pero ocupado lugar lleno de lugareños que se dirigían a trabajar. Este fue nuestro café de 1 calle en Irlanda a su llegada y nos enganchamos desde el primer sorbo. Llegamos justo cuando abrieron para poder agarrar una mesa. Tenían una selección de pastelería decente y algunos artículos de desayuno caliente. El servicio fue muy acogedor y atento. Los ingredientes eran frescos y la comida era deliciosa!

05/05/2026: Stopped in for a quick bite, ordered the kebab, and was delighted. Got a generous portion, and one of the tastiest meals I have had recently. Will be back
