The best restaurants in Galway

29/10/2026: I went to supermacs and I was not impressed as always the bathroom were horrible! It stinks and it’s all dirty and wet and the seats and tables are unbelievably dirty !

09/10/2026: Had a small issue with our order. I just want to commend the staff for being efficient and looking after the customer. It can't be easy working in a fast food restaurant and dealing with the general public.

01/11/2026: I left my umbrella here on an extremely busy night and rang and the female staff put it away for me and kept it for me to collect today. Very helpful

30/10/2026: Our go to place while visiting eyre square 🫰🏻 We love their ice creams 🍨 But please reduce salt in fried chicken it's very salty... Other than that all are good ❤️ Must try 💯

23/10/2026: The best quality of always fresh food and a price for all pockets thank you very much.

29/09/2026: Good pizza. Nice gentleman who took our order

30/08/2026: Freeney's Bar is one of Galway's oldest and most charming traditional family-run pubs. Located in the heart of the quaint Latin Quarter at 19 High Street, this historic establishment has been welcoming customers since 1938. Originally founded by Martin and Julia Freeney as a bar, grocery, and gun shop, the establishment has evolved over time. Today, the grocery has been transformed into a fishing and outdoor shop adjacent to the pub. Interestingly, the exterior window still displays Swiss Army knives, Zippo lighters, and fishing lures, so much so that some passersby struggle to recognize it as a pub. Inside, the authentic atmosphere of yesteryear reigns supreme, with traditional wooden counters equipped with period dividers ("snugs") for maximum privacy. Ordering from Freeney's is a must, thanks to one of the largest collections of rare Irish whiskeys in the city. In addition to spirits, it is renowned for serving one of the best and most excellent pints of Guinness in all of Galway, ideal to accompany their classic and much-loved toasties (traditional hot cheese sandwiches).

26/08/2026: Great bar with character. I always look forward to a visit when back in Galway.

30/10/2026: Cozy little bar. Great selection of gin and cocktails.

04/10/2026: Great selection of gin, professional friendly staff who know their stuff.

14/10/2026: No nice breast pieces in our 10 piece bucket. Very disappointed.

04/10/2026: chicken is amazing crispy tenders, you should probably go and have some chicken here 👌👌

17/07/2026: We really enjoyed our stay here! It was close to everything and within walking distance! Rooms were nice, breakfast was delicious!

21/10/2026: Had a nice breakfast here on our way out of town. My wife was overwhelmed with the amount of food she received (avocado toast). The cinnamon roll was delicious - not dry - with a good amount of frosting.

03/10/2026: Good little coffee shop / cafe - had an excellent iced Americano. Staff were very friendly.

02/11/2026: Zia our waiter was exemplary- attentive but also not overly hovering! Extremely polite and personable young man

02/11/2026: Zio served us. He was good. Nice guy. He got our order right and he was friendly.!

01/11/2026: Food quality not great, very poor presentation, seems quality is really slipping here. Service decent enough at least.

23/10/2026: Had a lovely lunch with my family there. Enough to chose from if there are alergies, like milk and eggs. Will visit again soon!

04/07/2026: June 2026: On this visit I only used their Spa. I had a family home nearby (and return to Ireland a couple of times per year) and have experienced this spa routinely over the years. The quality of the Spa has dramatically changed. I tried to give feedback to their Spa manager to give them an opportunity to listen instead of posting publicly. However the manager made no attempt to reach out for the feedback. There were 3 of us visiting on that day and all had the same disappointing experience. I want others to be aware and maybe G Spa will pay attention to the public feedback and hopefully make changes to improve the quality of all future patrons. They have simplified their spa menu and do not have the range of treatment choices and details that was once offered. The Spa Menu is also misleading - I scheduled a facial clearly advertised as a customized facial (please read their spa menu for their level of detail about their facials). I am used to facials from a qualified aesthetician and go to spas fairly regularly and (to add - I do not go to high end spas so my standards of what to expect is based on a reasonable level of spa). From the minute I was taken into the treatment room - it was very dark as if I was there for a massage. The girl kept telling me to sit down and I had to tell her that I would but could not see the chair as it was too dark. She in no way looked at my face prior to the experience nor asked me anything about my skin type. And she definitely could not have assessed my face prior to or while starting the facial as the room remained dark. She proceeded to apply one oil after another on my face/neck and gave no explanation or asked questions about my skin. 5 mins in I asked her what was customizable about this facial. She said it was really a face massage. A face massage is not a therapeutic facial and I basically tolerated the application of oil after oil until the 60 mins was done - as I wanted to give it a chance and see if it got better. The therapist basically applied each step of oil in exactly the same way repeatedly and to be honest it felt like this person had little qualifications to do facials. I felt I could have hired someone with no training whatsoever and told them how to apply each product with the same sweeping movements and ended up with the exact same level of service. Was this just one therapist? My sister while she had more interaction with her facial therapist got the exact same repeated application of oils for the duration of her facial. Also, the quality of the products they now use is also a downgrade of what they used to use. I would not have booked this treatment had the description been accurate - I would have considered it a complete waste of money for my needs. We also did the thermal spa prior to the treatment. This was also a very disappointing experience. We all started to wonder about the general cleanliness of the thermal spa. The water seemed cloudy (I would like to know when and how often they treat the water to keep it hygienic given the high numbers of people who use the thermal spa). Also, there was another customer who spent at least 30 mins monopolizing the overhead jets pounding on his back and chest splashing everyone in the whole pool so others in the thermal spa had to leave the pool and seek relaxation elsewhere. Not G spas fault I'll admit nor could they have known about it unless they were told which they were as we checked out so they can be aware of such behavior in the future and monitor the well-bing of all patrons in the future.

29/06/2026: We had an absolutely amazing stay at The g Hotel & Spa! We got a fantastic deal that included both dinner and breakfast, and everything exceeded our expectations. The food was incredible, and the room service was prompt and top-notch. From the beautiful rooms to the excellent service and great location, everything was perfect. Highly recommend!

12/04/2026: handy spot This is a handy spot 20 minutes drive from Galway center. It is easy to get a bus or taxi to eyre square. Breakfast and rooms were good. I liked the canopied outdoor seating area. #ramblingstampcollectors

10/04/2026: Had a really nice stay at The Flannery's. We were able to check in about 3 hours early with no issues, which was a great start. The hotel was wheelchair friendly, the room was cozy and warm, and everything was kept clean throughout our stay. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and having Netflix on the TV was a lovely bonus for those rainy days when the missus and I just wanted to stay in bed and have a movie day. The location was very handy too. The bus stop was only a 2 to 3 minute walk away, and buses ran every 10 to 15 minutes, even late at night, so getting around was easy. Breakfast being included was a big plus, and the food was tasty with both hot and cold options. Only complaint is the missus couldn’t find a croissant on the last day, which she may never fully recover from. Overall, very good value for money and a comfortable place to stay. We’d happily stay again.

31/03/2026: Good coffee, delicious.🥰🥰I like

17/03/2026: I love the hot chocolate from here and get it whenever I can! It’s quite rich and not too sweet. The staff are quite lovely and although it’s a small shop they are very quick with the orders.

28/09/2026: I did some research for a good place to eat that accommodates my allergies. Wow this place is brilliant for making sure you are fed and fed well. good selection of foods available. Staff very helpful and friendly

23/08/2026: A nice place to eat if you're at the hotel and don't want to leave. I would not recommend food there, its average at best. However, the desserts were all fabulous!
