Tig Coili is everything you expect of an Irish pub. Bartenders are friendly & so are the patrons…read more Drinks are reasonably priced and the selection is good. 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.

This place was awesome!…read more If you're looking great food, lively atmosphere and amazing service from staff, John Keogh's is the place to go. This place can get busy so highly suggest making a reservation or coming in early for dinner. I ordered the mussels and was served in a pot filled, served with brown bread and fries. Highly recommend and definitely worth planning ahead for.

It has good selection of beer, cider and cocktails. The porn star cocktail was delicious. The staff work hard to keep up with getting drinks and keeping things clean.

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.

If you only visit one pub in Ireland, make it this one…read more I've been in a lot of pubs on this trip, and O'Connor's in Salthill is on another level. The place itself is like walking into a living museum -- every inch of wall and ceiling covered in lanterns, copper pots, old signs, and a hundred years of Galway history. Grab a pint of Guinness, find a seat near the session table, and settle in. And the music -- this is the real thing. No stage, no show for tourists. The musicians sit at a table right in the middle of the room like it's been done for generations. The night we were there, one young musician absolutely stole the show, moving between fiddle, guitar, and Irish tin whistle like it was nothing, singing his heart out while the whole pub sang along. His name is Cullen Vance. Do yourself a favor and give him a listen; you'll be hearing that name again. Friendly staff, perfect pints, unforgettable atmosphere. This is the Ireland you came for. We'll be back.
