07/01/2026: I was yesterday night in this restaurant and I had a carbonara. 30min after I started to eat, I started to feel sick and since then I have been having symptoms of gastroenteritis (diarrhoea and vomitting). I am not sure if it were the eggs… the carbonara did have a different taste but I thought it was just the sauce.

29/12/2025: 56 Central is one of my favourite spots in Galway. I always bring my friends and family here when we're out and stuck for somewhere to eat. It's great for breakfast or lunch, loads of great options. On this particular day I went for the pancakes, they were lovely. The pancakes were fluffy, and with the berries and mascarpone it was a perfect combination that wasn't too sweet. My dad went for the breakfast brioche, he's not very descriptive, but he said it was good, which is high praise coming from him. The interior is clean and comfortable, the staff are friendly and attentive, the food is always delicious. Couldn't recommend this place enough!

17/12/2025: My friends and I has a meal in this restaurant last weekend and the food was sublime...Everything freshly cooked as we waited, the lady serving was friendly and attentive too her customs. Will definitely return..

04/12/2025: Delious meal of black beans, sausage, rice and kale. Filling and hearty. A nice change of pace from traditional Irish pub food.

05/01/2026: The chowder (fish soup) was so delicious🤤 as was the Irish coffee. And the staff is so friendly! I highly recommend this place.

04/01/2026: Called in for a few pints on a Sunday afternoon during our trip to Galway, the bar was busy but service was quick and the staff were very friendly. Really good pint of stout and great atmosphere.

09/12/2025: Lovely pub, bar staff were very friendly and welcoming. Lots of sports on the TV's , they catered for all. Nice snugs in it too. Pint of Murphy's was top class. Would recommend popping in if you're in Galway

07/11/2025: Australian staff member (Ronan) bashes locals to American and Canadian tourists saying “ you need subtitles to understand them” meaning the locals around Galway. I do not care what needs to be said to tourists you never resort to disrespecting local custom. Ordered from him twice at the bar and both times made me feel like he was completely uninterested in serving me because of my accent acting like he couldn’t understand making me repeats my order. After his comments with the tourists myself and my wife decided to leave as we obviously were unwelcome. Customer service and rapport is clearly not important to Murphys Bar

19/12/2025: Warm friendly welcoming pub offering live music 7 nights a week. Doesn't serve food.

10/12/2025: I loved it. Absolutely beautiful and the Christmas decorations were fantastic. I've heard that Ed Sheeran filmed the music video for "Galway Girl" here. I don't know for sure, but I've heard it's a popular meeting place for artists. Whether that's true or not, I really enjoyed it and I recommend it.

28/12/2025: A magical enclave. There are jars and jars of teas to choose from, a selection of pastries that are as beautiful as they are delicious, and cosy seating that includes floor tables and cushions. I wish I had more time in Galway; this would be my poetry writing hideaway.

26/12/2025: Beautiful tea and coffees here as well as being such a place to meet people to chat. Amazing staff and sweet baked goods too.

01/01/2026: One of my favourite places in Galway. Outstanding cheese and accompaniments. It's a regular treat for us. Reasonably priced for the level is quality of the produce. Can't recommend enough!

26/12/2025: What an incredible little shop! Bought some interesting pieces for our Christmas eve charcuterie (and some delicious butter)

13/01/2026: Awful pint of Guinness. Couldn’t finish it.

18/12/2025: Very friendly staff. Food was lovely. Will definetly be going back again.

30/12/2025: Everything is delicious, original dishes, a spectacular coffee offering and very professional service.

01/11/2025: Enjoyed a wonderful lunch today in the company of other travelers in this exciting city of Galway. It was a nice surprise to stumble upon a restaurant that catered to my dietary needs. The menu wasn't overwhelming and there was a nice variety of choices to choose from. I ordered the Terryland Reuben with a vegan cheese which was VERY good and afterwards enjoyed a complimentary slice of vegan cake that was absolutely lovely. The portions were perfect! I actually left with the cake in a take out container. If you're looking for a quaint and affordable restaurant to enjoy a vegan meal, this is the place!

20/01/2026: Always the best in Galway.. Killian a great manager, hands on, smart and hard working.

16/01/2026: Best seafood in Galway. The Tuna steak is great.
