The best restaurantsof irish in Galway

21/08/2025: Top place, great bar tenders up for the ball hopping and friendly locals. Well worth a visit. Lovely pool tables and a juke box too.

19/05/2025: Nice locals bar, present enough staff but low marks for the lack of atmosphere, also missing a trick not serving food.

12/02/2026: It's clean ,also pictures on the walls adds to conversation,

20/01/2026: I have been in alot of supermacs around the country but, I have to say, I have never been in one that was so clean, professional ,friendly staff, and although it was quite they were cleaning not standing around and were exceptionally friendly. I do believe supermacs, country wide, should use this shop and staff as an example of how all your shops should be run countrywide

06/02/2026: Great hotel with an amazing irish atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff! Will be back!

23/10/2025: Was nice . Rooms were freezing heating never came on

19/11/2025: Poppyseed is a wonderful place to spend an hour beside the river with an outdoor seated area overlooking the river and bay. The food is freshly cooked to order with plenty of variety. Coffee is the best I’ve had in any location worldwide!! Seriously, the coffee is a lovely blend. It is the heartbeat of Clarinbridge village. It has a beautiful garden centre practically linked to its back entrance. The staff are just lovely, well trained and very friendly. Go and enjoy. Pat Surlis

27/01/2026: The staff here are absolutely brilliant. We met a lovely young man who was on his first day in the job. He was so nice and thank us for our kindness and support to him on his first day. Definitely be returning to see how he got on.

30/11/2025: Today, my daughter and her friend were denied entry to this establishment, and we believe it was solely because they are Spanish. The situation was discriminatory and extremely unpleasant. We want others to be aware of what happened so they can decide whether they wish to support a place where such incidents occur. Today, my daughter and her friend were denied entry to this place, and it seemed to be solely because they are Spanish. The situation felt discriminatory and very upsetting. We want people to be aware of what happened so they can decide for themselves whether they want to support a place where things like this occur.

04/02/2026: Seen a manager named Dezly I believe he was picking his nose and then serving food I was totally shocked and don’t get me started on his breath.

12/01/2026: Whoever was on the ice creams last Saturday the 10th of January in the loughrea plaza, keep them in the job, i had a Ferrero moozie and it was the best I ever had in my 46 years of life, they did not hold back on the choclate sauce, fair game and well worth the money, in other places I have been youd need a search party for the choclate in the ice cream... please dont give poor review ratings for the workers.. put yourself in their shoes, its one of the hardest jobs dealing with tricky customers, take that into consideration when writing reviews.... rate the system, not the workers....

23/03/2026: Table for 9 booked for 14 00. Arrived a couple of minutes early to sign my vehicle in and then waited to be seated! Ha ha. I wasn't even acknowledged, no eye contact from any of the staff ( under staffed ) This gave me time to take a close look around.... This "Beefeater" needs to be closed ASAP and be refurbished! While that's being done, retrain the staff to understand customer service and on a Sunday lunchtime, maybe rota a couple of extra employees in to cover the usual "throng" that is the norm during these hours. The couple in front ( pub owners ) and myself ( used to be in the same trade ) left the building. Not good!

21/03/2026: It really is not good value for money. It's the same old thing. Less food on the plate but with inflated prices.

09/02/2026: On my first ever visit to Clifden which took place last week, we found ourselves popping into Griffin's bar for some lunch. I had the best fish pie I've had since I don't know when. Marion enjoyed a nice steak sandwich. Both David & John made us feel very welcome. Then a local 82year old mad entertained us with a quick dancing demo. Apparently he also recites poetry and you might even get a song out of him! It was a memorable experience and made all the better when David ran us up to see the Sky Road (if you get the chance to see it you'll understand why it's called the sky road.) I can't wait to visit Clifden and Griffin's bar again. Couldn't recommend it enough, thanks David & John.

26/10/2025: Why is Griffins not serving alcohol??

26/08/2025: Very nice place to get lunch or eat a takeaway pizza in the evening. The service from staff was great, all of them very kindly. About the food, one day we got fish and chips and honestly was better than expected, not the same with homemade lemonade and ice tea, completely avoid order these. Another day we ordered few takeaway Pizzas around 9pm when every other place around is not serving food so they saved us.

23/08/2025: Ordered a salad and soup. Very little options for drinks, gin and tonic came in wine glass (couldn’t get much tonic in). Wooden cutlery ?! Food was ok. Perfect location on a lovely day. Seats outside and inside.

30/12/2025: Why is there a camera hidden over the toilets? Its hidden in a fake smoke detector. How is this allowed?

04/08/2025: Had a wonderful brunch 🤤 Kids friendly 😄 Must try 💯

30/11/2025: Staff on a Friday night are so rude . Almost threw the takeaway in my face and walked away

04/11/2025: I live in portumna and i used order from supermac’s all the time. All the staffs are good expect one named reba( I guess) . Everytime i called if she picking the call she says no strawberry milkshake( thats my girl wanted the most) . She never say yes but if someone else taking the order there is no problem at all. Its obvious that she gives excuse because she is not ready to make one. Very bad experience from that particular person. All other people are good.
