First things first, no food here, just drinks. Second, live trad music at 6pm & 10pm when I went in early October. Seating is tight so get there early & grab a few beers and find yourself a spot. This was a fun pub and the beers and music were just what I wanted. I plan to come back the next time I'm in Galway.

What a great meal and experience…read more Service was phenomenal, by multiple servers. Kept us well hydrated, lubricated, educated. Food was awesome and abundant. Seafood chowder was out of this world. So binging a serving. Couldn't eat for hours... Mushroom soup was pretty awesome as well. The place was humming with people, noise, talking, great vibe. The small secluded booths (for the ladies) was a great touch! All of us (guys included) really enjoyed them. Thank you for a great experience.

Walk around to the side of the building to enter*** This place was unique, decorated on every surface. Netting, shells, fishing floats all over the ceiling. Antiques all around, there was a trunk for a table in the area we sat at, then they opened a curtain to another room for overflow. We sat at a large table for our group that ventured over for the night. Great ambiance, I can't speak to the service because I didn't go up to the bar to order. We loved the live music and the experience we had with our friends that night.

For a time there was live piano music inside that was played outside through speakers as well! As someone who doesn't like beer, I can't speak to the quality of the Guinness (except to say my friends liked it). However, the ciders that I tried (Apple and Blood orange) were very tasty, fizzy with more of a sweet flavor rather than a beer one. The cocktail list is short and expensive, so if you're looking for a sweet drink I would recommend one of the ciders.

If you are planning a visit to Galway, Crane Bar will probably come up time and time again as a…read morerecommendation from friends. Do yourself a favor and listen to your friends! Crane Bar is a quintessential Irish pub with traditional live music. I was able to catch some live music on this particular visit and it was truly wonderful. The biggest difference I noticed at Crane Bar was that it is expected that everyone is quiet during the music. Most other Irish pubs don't mind some chatter above the music but here, it is expected that you be silent during some songs. The staff won't be shy about shushing you either. I hadn't encountered this elsewhere in Ireland and I was told by a local that this is fairly uncommon for pubs. It just goes to show how central live music is to the Crane Bar experience. Beyond that, the pints were cold and the service was quick. I highly recommend stopping in to Crane Bar for a traditional Irish pub experience.
