There was a really good atmosphere and it's a lovely pub with loads of windows upstairs and downstairs for people watching. On the second night we went for food and ended up staying all night. The food was really... More

In Galway yesterday at the Food Festival and had decided to have lunch with my daughter The ambience of this place was so relaxed even though it was busy and at lunchtime. The staff were so courteous and helpful, food fantastic and most of all the children had a lovely experience. I will definitely go there again when in Galway.

Didn't eat here, but stopped in for late music and some pints. Met some great people and had an awesome time. Must stop and see this gem.
