27/05/2026: Hopefully it's sunny in waterville when you arrive as its a beautiful place and looks stunning on a nice day. The villa is so welcoming, not just for your stay but for food and drink. The atmosphere 👌. Food is reasonably priced and is amazing. And make sure your there for the weekend as the band on a Saturday night was perfect

23/05/2026: Located well on the main drag. Excellent staff

20/04/2026: Beautiful food - would recommend the turkish eggs - and very welcoming and friendly team!

15/08/2026: We ate dinner there; the fried calamari was very good and a generous portion. The seafood pasta was good, but there wasn't quite enough seafood. The service was very attentive.

14/09/2026: A good, honest pub, highly recommended.

06/09/2026: Hanna is a credit to the place. A gem of a young lady with an old soul. Great pub and great atmosphere.

16/08/2026: Went in with family for dinner. It was busy for a Sunday afternoon at 420pm so I was expecting to wait. At 440pm I seen other people had come in just after us and had been given food withun 20 mins. Still waiting s I questioned the wait and told its on the way. At 455pm I went up again and asked and told it was on the way. I said we've been sitting there nearly 40 mins and no sign of the food yet. Not happy. She said it was only ordered 20 mins ago not 40 mins. In that case the first girl had forgot to put the order through. At 505pm I said this has to be sorted soon it's ridiculous. It came out 3 minutes later. There was no effort made to adjust the bill because of their negligence, couldn't even take a couple of cluh orange drinks off as a gesture of good well on their part. Was my first time there in a long time and I can say I'll never be back again. Because this used to always be a great pub back in the day. Shame to see it gone to the dogs. Very let down by the service. The only saving grace was the food was nice but it was not worth waiting nearly an hour for when it was their issue and they didn't want to accept responsibility. Would have been great otherwise. Shame. And would certainly not recommend.

12/08/2026: Cozy place to eat. The food was good, the drinks too.

13/09/2026: Great atmosphere, generous meals, concert Friday and Saturday...

13/09/2026: Tasty food, friendly staff, wonderful atmosphere. Thank you very much

15/09/2026: Me and my boyfriend went for a beer and the doorman screamed at our faces because we did not notice the door was close. When we just knocked. He did not behave like that with other guests so not sure if it was because we were gay. But this is the only place in all Ireland we have been treated so poorly. With so many bars to go in Galway going to this one seems like a waste of time. Please do not go here

13/09/2026: The best spot in Galway! Wow! Amazing music, bartenders and the people there were amazing! We will be back when we visit again! Connor was the best!

02/06/2026: All very well done. The rooms are not air conditioned; it doesn't get hot in Ireland

28/05/2026: Revisited the Woodlands with the IMET retreat. It has become an annual event and I love it. I look forward to the hotel, the bedroom, the food, the grounds, the spa ... It's just magic. Every staff member is so friendly and kind and helpful. Another wonderful experience. Thank you all 🤗

06/08/2026: Great service food was just devine. Recommend aisian beef stir fry and chicken/chorizo pie

05/08/2026: Amazing place to visit. The food was amazing and the portions were huge. So visit when hungry, the atmosphere of the pub was great lots of friendly people to have a chat to. You go there and make so many friends that were previously strangers.

09/06/2026: Sarah was an amazing server. Food was delicious and Guinness Draught was amazing. If you visit this area please stop in.

07/06/2026: Top quality traditional Irish food, bacon, cabbage and mash. Proper grub. Lovely. Guinness good. And nice atmosphere.

15/09/2026: The food was great. Super service. Great pub! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

13/09/2026: Went down on Thursday for my daughters birthday. Price online for steak and ribs was 20.95. Price on menu in pub 25.95. Steak was very chewy but ribs were lovely. In fairness they adjusted the price to 20.95 when paying. Asked the waitress to put a candle in my daughter's desert and when it came out with a different waitress it wasnt done. The original waitress came over and apologised and took the desert off the bill. Cant ask for much more than that in fairness. Kids had the trio of tacos which they enjoyed. Wife had chicken caeser salad which was warm last time but cold this time.

13/09/2026: Really enjoyed the steak for two and I would come back for the spring rolls alone. Will be back soon to try the short rib.

11/09/2026: Everything was delicious . Ambiance was great along with the service .

05/09/2026: Great Gastro pub just off the N7, good food and reasonably priced 😃

03/09/2026: Lovely lunch there today - such friendly and attentive waitstaff! Very reasonably priced, especially for lunch.

16/05/2026: A lively restaurant. A constant flow of people. The service is efficient and, despite the stress, manages everything with ease and appears relaxed. Despite the hustle and bustle, we were seated at the bar for a few minutes without a reservation. Here we could browse the menu and order our first drinks. The food arrived quickly and tasted delicious.

06/05/2026: Perfectly adequate meal for us who are not geared towards golf in a golf town. Server was new and eager to help.
