I tried a few different types, but always ended up with Jamison in the end. Bartenders were great, I never felt like a customer but more like a friend. I never once had to ask for a drink or had to get their attention..loved how attentive they were. My group grabbed seats just as it started to get crowded, once the music started it felt like everyone in the streets just filed in. It was packed, everyone was having fun signing and drinking ... one big party. I met and had so many great conversations with both locals and people from all over the world. When the music would stop half the crowd would clear out... unitl the next band started. Lot's of fun here, smooth wide selection of whiskey and great music.

Dave Griffin was the greatest host one could ask for, he welcomed this group of music loving people with open arms. The bands played two night and packed the house with many Galway locals showing their love for all types of music. Food and drink was the greatest and the Guinness was cold and drawn perfectly (also noted in another review). With Dave Griffin knowing that we would be there he displayed the Texas and Idaho flags on the front of his establishment!! We all visited with the local patrons exchanging stories and opinions with each. Griffin's showed all the warmth and welcome that Ireland is known for. We cannot wait for the opportunity to return to Griffin's. I cannot close without also mentioning Lisa and John (bartenders) that took such great care of everyone there. Thanks for such a great time

I went for the Salmon and it was quite nice, as were the vegetables. Chips were from frozen. My partner enjoyed his too. Overall it was just OK. Better than Guys, but not whole lot. Dining room could be modernised. Value for money? Perhaps not. Same price in Dublin would get you a whole lot more quality I think.

It was quite busy at 1 pm on a Sunday in early June but we still got a table for two at the back bar area without delay. The space was filled with lots of cozy seating nooks for 2-4 people. Larger groups might struggle to squeeze in as it's pretty busy. As we were seated near the kitchen, we saw lots of delicious looking items coming out after we ordered a burger (huge) and the tempora battered prawns. The burger was a bit disappointing with a very firm dense texture. The chips (fries) were good along with the battered shrimp. Next time I might try a pizza or croque Monseur instead-they looked great

Walking in during a during a driving rain storm (Storm Bram) it's cozy with a beautiful large bar flanked by tables and a charcoal burning fireplace. Wasn't busy so I got a spot right by the fireplace. Service was great, the bartender waited on me and was very professional, they said. Now this joint has been around for a long time and on many "best" lists, etc.... they are known for their local seafood dishes. Large menu consisting of soups, sandwiches, mains such as fish & chips/ chicken curry and also artisan pizza! They also have Daily Seafood Specials that change daily. Asked for some recos and he said you have to try the mussels. Kicked it off with a Guinness and Coonemara seafood chowder with local fresh & smoked seafood... was outstanding. Next, steamed Killary mussels in a coconut milk/ chili sauce served with garlic bread. This may have been the best dish I had on a 14 day trip & I went everywhere! Must order. For the main I ordered their burger with aged cheddar MR, was good with great fries. Again, service was impeccable and prices very average make it a must stop in Clifden! Talk later
