Lovely pub. Old style bar (now with outdoor area and other rooms added). But I like the main bar: lovely light, mad ceiling, nice beer selection, good staff.

Unchanged for years and all the better for it - has resisted all uber-pub trends. Run by same family for yonks: friendly, small, mix of locals and tourists: a classic at the bottom of Shop street!

Nice selection of craft beers. Interesting food options (their own micro stall in the window), and good vibe. Always something going on here.

Food Scene

Is it the best brunch in Galway? Almost certainly. Fantastic food, sensational brunch, great place. Go there. Need to be there at noon on Sundays if you're going to get a table in the first wave.

If you're on for a quirky and fantastic dining treat, go here. Michelin starred hyperlocal food - great experience and very unique. Not a flash room - it's all about the food.

Fish, fish and more fish. The original - and still holding its own against the newer competition like the Fish Kettle nearby (also good!). Can't go wrong with any of their fresh classics.

Fantastic fish restaurant. Pretty much cannot go wrong with the food here - all fresh, and modestly priced in my opinion. For a proper sit down fish meal.

Great seafood just off Salthill Prom - really fresh, as you'd expect from a team who own their own fish shops!

Brilliant local food at it's best - lunch, coffee or dinner, this place has some of the best food on offer, and is a truly local business staffed by great people. Try it.

Everything Else

Fish, fish and fish. Small but excellent, with massive portions of home cut chips. But the star of the show is fresh fish cooked as you like it. Great.

Parks & Nature

Lovely small woods just outside of Salthill / Knocknacarra area - small but perfectly formed. Great for short, peaceful strolls with the family.

Iconic local swimming and diving spot, at what used to be the end of "The Prom". No longer the end since it was extended :-) Great social spot to walk to, meet, go for a swim, or just hang out.
