11/09/2025: We attended the Tigin both days we were in Galway. The staff were friendly, classic pub vibes, so thought we may as well go back again! Saturday night was super busy with the Soccer and the crowd were good fun. We went back the next day for the womens rugby. Great selection on tap.

20/08/2025: Based, based, based pub. I thought the food and drinks were incredible. I just had to meet and thank the manager personally. The friendly staff who were excellent gladly introduced me. I thanked him and he said wanna hear something funny? He then told me something hilarious. He said caribou closed which is pretty funny. Then he told me they said they were gonna build a hotel here but then they just built a better pub. WOW, dinner and a show!! Beautiful cocktails, lovely staff, city centre location.

12/04/2026: A friend took me here in 2024 when I first moved to Galway and I have never forgotten the taste. I went just recently and oh my goodness! The food is still great, and the service, the guy was so friendly even suggested some options. It's a great spot and delicious food.

24/03/2026: Excellent service and delicious food

10/04/2026: This is hands down the best pasta in the city, no doubt about it. The atmosphere instantly transports you to Italy, from the cozy vibe to the little details that make the place feel authentic. The food is delicious. I’ll definitely be back!!

29/03/2026: I went to Monalisa with a group of friends to celebrate Cah’s birthday, and everything was perfect. The atmosphere was great, making it ideal for a special occasion. The portions are very generous, and all the pasta dishes we tried were absolutely delicious and well-seasoned. Everything came out just right, and you could really taste the quality in each dish. It was such a lovely experience overall… definitely a place I’d come back to!

17/12/2025: We went, cuz a friend recommended us and was really good. The coffee was delicious, difficult to find a good one (coffee) here in Galway. And the food was delicious and generous quantities!! The stuff was friendly and helpful, the place was really busy at that time… We will come back!! ✨

09/12/2025: We Had lunch here today, ordered Turkey sandwich on rye bread with side of chips, my partner had burger with salad and chips...Turkey was fried , oil clearly visible and meat was chewy and tasteless, my partner's burger was bland, neither justified price charged.The coffees were good but at €4.10.each totally overpriced. Ate here on number of occasions in past, always loved it...today was not a good experience, will not be returning, staff disinterested, no atmosphere whatsover. A pity, as I always loved this spot!

05/05/2026: Lovely warm friendly staff. Had Calzone ham and mushroom. Not many mushrooms, very fatty ham for the bit there was. Was here before xmas, had same dish which was beautiful with generous fillings. A little disappointed this time. Still a lovely place to eat with a lovely ambiance.

27/04/2026: We were a table of five on Monday, April 20th, and we had a very good meal. We would particularly like to thank our Hungarian waiter, Bejar, for his thoughtful touches and kindness. The food was excellent.

31/10/2025: Called in here for lunch during the week, was seated and had my order in front of me within 10/15 minutes. Their toasted sandwich, chicken pesto sandwich and chips were all super delicious and extremely well priced. Highly recommend stopping in here if you're in Athlone and looking for a tasty and affordable meal.
