She took our drink and lunch order, ordered a house scale ale, a pornstar martini, a Kingston glow, a Cajun chicken salad, and fish and chips. All were delivered quickly and with a quirky smile. 5/5 Food was as described in the menu. Pretty large portions. Fish and chips came with smashed peas and salad. The chicken Caesar salad came with a ham garnish. Not bad but not Cajun. 4.8./5 If you are ever in Galway stop by Skeff!

Haven't been there for ages because the moody black haired waitress , who was as ignorant as a pet pig , would honestly put ya off going but she wasn't there today thankfully. Hopefully enough people complained and she's gone so I can resume my regular custom. Great servers today, so polite and helpful and run off their feet but still happy. The cheery Scottish lad behind the counter is always so nice to everyone . All in all a good spot

I went with a large group of friends to the bar and later to a drag show at this venue. My only…read morecomplaint about the entire thing was there was some confusion about when the show started. The only time on the website/posters was "doors open at 8:30pm". Once there (around 8:30) we are told that the doors open at 10pm and the show will start at 11pm. Earlier in the night, we sat upstairs at large-table bench seating in a covered, semi-outdoor area with music. I enjoyed their Orchard Thieves apple cider, and from what I saw others got either beer, cider, or shots from the bar. Later we migrated downstairs to their club/stage area for the drag show. The Queens were absolutely fabulous and put on a wonderful show for us. It was a great night!

Compared to most Irish pubs, their beer selection was huge -- not only the standard Irish trio (Smithwicks, Carlsberg, Guinness) but also cider, microbrews and a decent number of bottles. They had a full bar as well. We didn't stay long, but I would love to return, and in fact this place is a big part of the reason we both want to stay longer in Galway on our next Irish voyage!

This is a much larger place than what you think it is as it's narrow but extends farther back which is deceiving on how many people they can have in the place. We were given menus with the specials listed in the front. Menu selections are small but enough that every one should be able to find something. We ordered the chicken strips with whiskey barbecue sauce and chips and the fish and chips. Service was very good with two servers working the room to make sure everyone was taken care of. Our door arrived nice and hot from the kitchen. There were 5 large pieces of nicely breaded chicken that at first glance looked like it was over fried but the chicken was very moist and tender. The breading had a little kick to it. The barbecue sauce was very flavorful, smoky flavor and it too had a little kick as well. The fish was well coated in a panko batter, fried very crispy but a little heavy. The fish was a large portion, very fresh and well seasoned. With the fish came a nice bowl of mushy peas and tartar sauce. Chips for both dishes were nice and crispy. Food was good, service was excellent, and the price was reasonable so a return trip will happen to try more of their dishes.

The bar and restaurant are lovely and staff are great. I enjoyed watching the mixologists work. He was friendly and talented. We had small cooler we asked for ice and he was most generous. We only ate breakfast here but food for other meals looked interesting and we'll presented. Full disclosure i don't care for Irish or European breakfast. To me the bacon is raw and eggs under cooked. I dont eat baked beans or sausage ever and lets not speak of blood pudding. Im not trying to be ugly American... I struggle to get breakfast the way I like even at home. So neither of us were crazy happy with breakfast except croissant was fantastic. I got the porridge which was similar to oatmeal but not as much texture. Wish they had Splenda in Ireland . I basically don't like fruit so picked that out and the sprouts???. Tea was piping hot and strong. Hubby didnt ask for eggs to be cooked extra or bacon crispy... so he wasn't pleased. Part of this is our fault for not asking for things prepared differently. Im giving 5 stars

We're just about there when the manager comes up behind us and said he found a table. Pretty impressive service. The table was in a medium sized room away from the music which was great as you could hold a conversation. Our server came over quickly to take our drink orders and once we had the drinks be places our order, cottage pie and fish and chips. The cottage pie was served in a small, but not too small oval baking dish with a nicely browned top on the potatoes. It also came with a side of gravy which was a nice touch. Digging in there was a good amount of pulled well seasoned brisket with carrots mixed. Very tasty dish. The fish and chips arrived with a good portion chips and a moderately sized piece of well fried fish. The fish was very fresh and flaky and the breading was very light so it didn't over power the fish. We had a pleasant meal with two great servers, a manager that wouldn't give up on finding us a table and great music (acoustic guitar) to keep us enter. Definitely a great place for drinks and a good meal and one that we will gone back to.
