The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

18/03/2026: We arrived 8 adults 7 kids and 2 dogs with no reservation. We were seated very comfortably in the courtyard with blankets and hot water bottles provided. Amazing good and service.

14/03/2026: I really don't want to tell you how great this place is, it's hard enough to find a table sometimes as it is. But let's be fair, it's a great craic. Owned and run by lonely locals.

05/04/2026: Beautiful meal here with something for everyone. Welcoming family atmosphere. No complaints.

19/03/2026: Authentic Irish pub with great food and beer

15/04/2026: The perfect pub to experience the magical atmosphere of Ireland: an absolutely fantastic whiskey bar and servers who are happy to make you any cocktail you want! A perfect experience!

11/04/2026: One of the best pubs in Ireland. A trip to Clifden and a visit to Lowry's are a must. Even better in the evening.

02/03/2026: Visited during my stay in the area and I loved it. A tuesday evening and the place was hopping. Great atmosphere and really good food at reasonable prices.

11/02/2026: Well worth a visit. Great food, atmosphere & staff.

14/04/2026: The best restaurant of our road trip!!! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but honestly, we highly recommend it!!! The fish was of incredible quality!

14/04/2026: Nice place, typical fisherman's decor. Classic but tasty and very generous portions. The men's toilets outside smell terrible and give a bad first impression. But don't let that put you off. The Guinness Zero is nice and cold 😉

18/03/2026: We had a deluxe room, which was amazing. Our daughters' room was more basic and rather musty. The whole place was very charming. Food was mid, at least dinner. I might eat in town if I had to do it again. The crowd was definitely older, and that's saying something because I'm 60.

17/03/2026: Attended a wedding on 13th of Feb. One of the best venues I've been at for a wedding. Such a beautiful venue, food was delicious, staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms were gorgeous with incredible views. I'll be back again for a stay!!

29/03/2026: Great food and good service. There is a sit down restaurant as well as a bakery / coffee shop.

29/03/2026: Absolutely love this place. The food is amazing. Michael and callum are lovely and full of chats. Had a lovely takeaway coconut cappuccino 5 stars always the lads know what they are doing

07/04/2026: I had the pleasure of dining at this gastro pub during my stay in Cong and it genuinely exceeded expectations. The atmosphere strikes that rare balance between cosy and refined. It feels authentically Irish without trying too hard, with a warm and welcoming energy that makes you want to settle in and stay a while, especially welcome on a rainy evening. The food was the real highlight. Thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, and most importantly, full of flavor. You can tell there's real care in the kitchen, with quality ingredients and a menu that elevates classic dishes without over complicating them. Service was equally impressive, attentive without being intrusive, friendly without being forced. The staff clearly take pride in what they do and it shows. All in all, this is exactly what you hope to find in a gastro pub but rarely do. If you are in Cong do not over think it. Just go.

02/04/2026: I arrived very hungry and late, and spontaneously decided on the Dish of the Day – perfect! I was almost surprised to receive such a juicy, delicious salmon steak on couscous with excellent vegetables and roasted potatoes. Great beer recommendation: Kilkenny Red Ale... Thank you!

13/04/2026: Prompt service and friendly staff. Food was very nice 👍

27/01/2026: Beautiful food lovely staff. Very clean and tidy. Have their own car park straight across the road. Would definitely recommend.

08/04/2026: Gorgeous food, venue and service. We had brunch this morning and both of our meals were really well seasoned and tasty. I also got two cakes to takeaway. My only criticism is the price of the cakes - they were quite expensive. But otherwise I’ll definitely be back.

06/04/2026: Excellent sausage rolls, cool interiors. Disorganized, inexperienced table service.

19/03/2026: Off-street parking. Delicious food, friendly staff, and excellent Americano coffee. We sat in a private booth in a charming pub.

17/03/2026: Great seafood chowder, good beer selection wonderful atmosphere excellent staff especially Joel 👌 👍

25/03/2026: Lovely little pub, hadn't time for food unfortunately, looked delicious. Bar lady got our order mixed up.

17/12/2025: June 2025: A great traditional pub in Leenaun just south of the head of the fjiord; nice pint of Guinness and a half of the Zero too. The food was a tasty fish and chips and the goat cheese parcel with salad. If you are in a Motorhome or camper van you can park overnight opposite in the public carpark for free which comes with a great view over the waters of the fjord.

04/03/2026: Decent food but beware of extra charges on your bill. As a party of two we ordered 2 gin and tonics each only to find at the end of the night we were charged nearly $6 for tonic on each drink on top of the $11 for gin for each drink. Our server never mentioned the extra charge when ordering and was conveniently no where to be found when we went to pay the bill. They do not list prices for standard drinks on the menu so we had no idea it would be this high. Would not recommend based on this experience. Plenty of good pubs in the area that won't rip you off.

01/02/2026: Top class service , when we arrived lady said kitchen had just closed, she went very quickly to kitchen to see could we order & came back promptly & took our order , such friendly staff & food fabulous .

06/03/2026: Very enjoyable place to stay, open fires with comfortable seating. Breakfast staff were extremely friendly and efficient. It is out of town so a car is needed.

05/02/2026: This hotel faces the sea. The two-part dinner was wonderful, with views of the ocean and herd of white horses at sunset! I ordered a seafood main course, which was quite sweet. The bread and butter were delicious. Breakfast was also great.

26/03/2026: Called in on the way back home to Cong, great little restaurant and bar... in a beautiful little seaside village, lovely food, would definitely return...

18/03/2026: Absolutely lovely. We went off season and it was very quiet. Nice for a lunch with a beautiful view
