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.

When you walk in, the smell of fresh ground coffee hit me. I should have ordered an Irish coffee, as I'm sure it would have been top tier, if they cared enough to grind the beans.

The restaurant in the hotel looked very boring so we decided to check out Porterhouse. When we arrived there it was FULL with locals. As we had a toddler , so they seated us in a private dining area outside the bar to comply with the regulation that kids aren't allowed in bars after 9 pm. Our server was very friendly. The staff was really good! He took our orders, got us to try a few beers and whiskeys before we finalized our orders to ensure that we really enjoy what we order. At this point we were just blown away by the hospitality despite being extremely crowded. We ordered two pints of beer, a shot of whiskey, fish and chips and a vegetarian curry dish. Everything tasted fantastic. The place itself was huge and the ambiance was of the traditional Irish pub. Brick walls, good music, fantastic pours, great food and warm smiles all around.

O'Connell's Bar is an absolute must when in Galway! We popped in on a recommendation and it was…read moreeasily one of the best recommendations we received while in Galway! O'Connell's Bar, which has been famous for years in its own right, rose to international prominence thanks to ole Ed Sheeran's "Galway Girl". It was pretty cool to see the spot where the video was filmed and it only added to the allure and story of the place! When you walk in off the street, you may just think it is a small cozy Irish pub and for the most part, you would be correct. However, go through the doors in the back and you are transported to a large, open-air beer garden featuring store fronts, stages, booths, heaters and more! While the inside is classic and uniquely Irish, the outdoor space is its own vibe! It honestly feels like two different spaces, but they also feel connected. All in all, easily the best beer garden in Galway! We grabbed a few pints at the inside bar and spent most of our time outside. It was a tad chilly, but they have self-controlled and regulated heaters over several of the seating alcoves, so we were comfortable an ended up hanging around for a few pints. Location is stellar, directly on Eyre Square, which is a main hub for Galway. Easy to wander in while walking around or popping off a bus, as the main bus stop of the area is directly across the street. Overall, we absolutely loved our time at O'Connell's Bar!

Whether you want to watch a match on the tele or converse with your friends, you can do either here. I recommend the beer garden even if it's cold, because it's open air with plenty of heaters even my mother approved the temperature. And they have a nice bar out there with plenty of seating or standing room. Don't forget to grab a few slices of pizza down the alley from the beer garden. Cheers!

Went here August 2017 on recommendation from our AirBnB host. She said it had opened about two…read moreweeks before. Which explained why it had no reviews yet, and hadn't been added to TripAdvisor. My husband and I enjoyed the place enough that we went back a 2nd time later in the week. Typical friendly Irish crowd. Low key service. The kind of place where (if it's slow) the bartender puts your Guiness on the bar and you get up from your table to fetch it. The first night I ordered the crispy duck in orange sauce and my husband ordered the lamb. (Yes, in Ireland, pub food includes duck/orange sauce and roasted lamb.) The duck was good, but the lamb was very, very good. Thus, our return visit later in the week -- I wanted some of that lamb! Our first visit was late on a rainy weeknight. There were just a few customers. We were jet lagged, and happy to have a low key experience (with great food). The second visit was during a football semi-final. Big crowd, all the TV's on, waiters rushing around like mad trying to keep up. A very typical Irish experience. We were glad we went back the 2nd time and saw this place when it was lively.

Beer was cold though so I guess that's a plus. Decent atmosphere and if you have lived here for 40+ years this would be a pretty decent place to hang out in.
