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.

With street performers playing music on the street, you even get live music to go along with your meal. I didn't have high expectations for pub food but the lamb burger and BLT were excellent.

Wouldn't recommend for a very large group or kids though because it is a bit tight between the tables.

So much so that everyone seemed to pause their conversation when we came in before resuming their conversations. My guess is the locals aren't all that interested in Yelp reviews The Guinness and Bulmer's Cider were cold. The locals didn't really care to socialize with the five Wisconsinites in their pub, but everyone was polite. O'Loclainn's is cozy and lightly lit. A truly Irish pub experience in Ballyvaughan.

We had been in this Pub nine years ago and visited it three times during this visit. It is a local place that doesn't open until 8:00 PM each evening. There is no TV, no radio and no food service; it is just a place to relax and enjoy a Guinness or a great Irish Coffee. We did just that and watched Margaret, the delightful owner make our Irish Coffee. If you want to experience a rel Irish Pub, this is the place.

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!
