The River Inn is located adjacent to  University Hospital Galway and also is close to NUIG, which ensures a good passing trade and is also the first place a birth is celebrated. Open under the River Inn name since 1992, the focus has shifted towards its food trade over the last number of years although it still serves the surrounding Newcastle area as its local Pub. Food is served from 8.30am until late in the evening with a large menu available. The food is good but the evening menu is slightly over priced.The River Inn has a loyal local following as well as being popular with students during term time. Live music can be heard at the weekend with Sunday night being the busiest.

They also have a small B&B/Guesthouse above the pub details of which  can be found on their website.

Overall The River Inn is a comfortable neighbourhood bar ideal for some good food or a few pints
