Galway City Pub Guide- Galway Pubs- Galway Bars and Nightclubs

Pubs in ireland were traditionally not the place to go for a full meal but over the last 20 years and especially since the smoking ban in 2004, pubs now compete with restaurants for the quality of their food. The standard and type of pub food varies enormously but here is a small guide to some of the best.

 

• The Quays Pub & Restaurant

One of the pubs that has really targeted the food market. the downstairs restaraunt offers a carvery during the day and an a la carte menu in the evening. Seasonal local produce especially oysters are a speciality. However can be somewhart expensive.

• The Kings Head

Well prepared bar food. Nothing fancy but great burgers and pizza as well as daily specials. Watch out for 2 for 1 pizza special.

• The Front Door

All the pub food favourites as well as a wide selection of pasta and sandwiches. Again can be somewhat expensive but quality is definitely guaranteed.

• The River Inn

Decent food served during the day and into the evening

• The Skeff

Massive menu incorporating a sandwich bar and a daytime carvery. Something for most tastes and pretty good value.

• Boss Doyles

Superior food served late in to the evening.

• Lohans

Simple food prepared well with great service. Always a winner and worth the trip to Salthill.

• McSwiggans Bar & Restaurant

Well known in Galway for the qulaity of its food. Something for all tastes and perhaps more importantly for all wallets. Bar food is served until approx 9pm with the restaraunt serving later.

• Sheridan's on the Docks

Due to the involvement of Sheridans cheesemongers, this venue offers something a little different. Cheese plates and a wonderful rare roast beef sandwich are our tips.
