Quays Bar
Galway
18/11/2025: I had such a good time there. The service didn't have that extra mile, but wasn't bad as well. My food was tradicional and simple, fish and chips, although was great. Perfect fish. Crunch outside, soft inside and no oil excess. I recommend and would be back there.
15/11/2025: A lovely pub however that bouncer on the door has a serious attitude problem. You would think he was guarding the gates of the White House

The Lighthouse Cafe
Galway
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!
30/10/2025: We had an incredibly delicious meal here. Finding good restaurants isn't always easy for vegans. And the chai was so good! Highly recommended for visitors to Galway.

Busker Brownes

01/11/2025: Live band in a not too busy, upscale bar.
01/11/2025: stopped for lunch while stopping in Galway (a must see town) the options for pubs, restaurants, take-aways are many. We chose Busker Brownes because of the look & the menu - we were NOT disappointed - SPA007

Oscars Seafood Bistro
Galway
19/11/2025: Very high expectations on this restaurant as suggested as best local seafood in Galway centre.
Unfortunately the experience was very poor, cause the food is very expensive for what you actually get on table.
The prawn starter was simply average with plain lettuce on the bottom, the main monkfish was the worst part of the meal as only two small pieces of monkfish and it was boiled in the mussels and beans stew, also found broken mussels shells in the stew.
Good atmosphere, average service.
16/11/2025: What a gorgeous experience last night. Staff so kind & friendly. Food was tip top. The crap starter. The special fish duo..,.That baked alaska….. Go visit….

Hotel Meyrick Galway
Galway
22/10/2025: Location was wonderful. the staff was very kind and tried to be as helpful as possible…
Rooms were very outdated, extremely dusty/musty, beds very uncomfortable, Wi-Fi didn’t work half the time & AC was broken with inability to be fixed. The room also smelled terribly of a nursing home which did not dissipate at all with our windows open for two days.
21/10/2025: Such a great spot! I was visiting Galway for a few days with my family, and we could not have picked a better location. All the staff were so kind. Henrique at reception in particular was incredibly helpful and very fun to converse with.

The Huntsman Inn
Galway
20/11/2025: Had lunch.
Chowder was watery
Fish special on chorizo and bean in tomato base isn't nice. Why not keep it simple. I seems like a pretentious effort to be different for the sake of being different.
Dinner cold apart from fish.
Again why watery chowder instead of the expected normal creamy version. Maybe call this out on the menu.
Offer what the majority will enjoy and not the few.
16/11/2025: Service was extremely mediocre and portion sizes were a joke.

The Universal
Galway
19/09/2025: Reservation required for dinner. Great food & wine!
13/09/2025: Don't ask for a pornstar martini.. They tell you they'll give you something similar but the only similarity is the price. Horrible glass of grapefruit and prosecco

Finnegan's
Galway
14/11/2025: An interesting place that opened unexpectedly. We'd been passing by for four years and didn't even know it existed. A very decent restaurant. Just a few steps away from the most popular streets, and it has a different vibe. More of a pleasant simplicity. I liked it.
Between two interesting eco-friendly shops. A very suitable location.
11/11/2025: I wouldn't go back; the food is well below average.
We were in Galway at the end of our trip through Ireland, having already tried most of the typical dishes, and this place disappointed us.
