    Busy, busy night. The Dail Bar took us in and the service and food was like it was an average night. I was super impressed with everyone!, Great job Dail!!

    Stopped here super late night and the they still had live music and it was great. We went to the upstairs bar and it wasn't too packed. The service was friendly and live music was good. Worth a stop!

    Fish and chips

    Such a lively spot! We ended up here for dinner at our first night in Galway. Hearing great things about seafood chowder in Ireland, we ordered it here for the first time as an appetizer. And it was the best I ever had! Fresh tasting and very generous amount of seafood. The soda bread that came along with the chowder was soft and paired perfectly with the savouriness of the chowder. For mains, we ordered the Guinness stew and fish and chips. I think we ordered too much as we were both full and couldn't finish our mains. The stew was yummy but the fish and chips unfortunately was falling apart and a bit hard to eat. It came with mushy peas though which were delicious! Later in the evening there is live music. As the night goes on, the atmosphere gets even more lively and energetic. Service was excellent as well. I would recommend a visit to Dail if you are in the area!

    Came here just for drinks on a recent trip to Galway. Such a great cocktail lounge! If you love crafted cocktails this is the place! A great vibe greets you when you walk in and there is a second level with additional seating. TVs are around if you want to watch local Sports. There is also a fully stocked bar to make any drinks as well as a number of beers on taps. Staff was friendly and fast! Taking of people quickly and would promptly take empty glasses. Highly recommend for a night out in Galway!

    To : Bar Manager From: Couple on vacation visiting Galway that have spent over 30 years combined in F&B Hospitality If I could give less than a star I would. We were greeted smugly by a strawberry blonde man bunned bartender, but what truly bothered me is i felt gipped. I ordered a mixed shot, a green tea, and my bf ordered a shot of Jameson. His shot comes in an about a 6 oz low ball glass...for a 1-1.5oz straight shot. Mine, a mixed shot, with schnapps and sour mix came in a 1oz glass, which obviously would never fit. (Pic Below) He poured my shot in that small ass glass and while looking us dead in the eyes shot the rest of it right from the shaker tin. Still charged me for the full price of the shot of Jameson, but took half of it right in front of me. Such a shame bc we come from the hospitality industry and would have spent good money and tipped well, but this was the rudest thing we've seen behind a bar. We immediately paid and left. Sure, go here if you enjoy paying to have your bartender take half your shot for you. I've bartended for 15 years and traveled to multiple countries. This is not common practice anywhere, no doubt it was bc he thought we were stupid. Thank God out of 10+ bars in Ireland this was the only one that had the audacity to steal from their customers. Take A LOT for us to leave a negative review, this deserves it.

    A local brew made just for them

    We went to this place based off reviews and was not disappointed, large pub with great food. Prices were reasonable, and the drinks were cold. Live music was playing below as we sat. Upstairs. Servers were nice and didn't rush us.

    Expresso Martini
    Claudia C.

    We came here because of the high reviews. The staff is great and super helpful. I started with the clam chowder which I really enjoyed it was really good, was not a fan of the homemade bread as I thought it was really hard. I had the Irish beef stew which was absolutely delicious and exceed my expectations I highly recommend. My boyfriend had the fish and chips and the fish just did taste fresh so we were pretty disappointed. The expresso martini I had was super good and creamy.

    Perfect Pint and a Half

    Cool bar that is warm and inviting. Have a seat anywhere and grab a beer (or other bev of choice since they have a full bar). Service at the bar was friendly and quick. Didn't get a chance to try the food as we'd already eaten but by the dishes that came by, they looked and smelled great! Heard the mmmm's from diners around us! Stop by on your visit to Galway's Latin Quarter by the port!

    Stopped in for a quick pint and a snack at the recommendation of my tour guide - was a pretty good traditional Irish pub. Had never had seafood chowder and enjoyed it - TONS of seafood packed in. Just off Shop St so was completely accessible but felt nicely quiet and tucked away

    Chef's specials -- roast of the day and sun dried tomato + pine nut stuffed chicken
    Andrea B.

    We really enjoyed our dinner at the Dail Bar! I had the chef's special roast of the day, which was very tender and had delicious gravy, and my partner had another special, stuffed chicken with sun dried tomato and pine nuts. Both very flavorful and filling! My side of vegetables were steamed and not seasoned so I'd have preferred more flavor, but the roasted vegetables with the chicken were very good. Our waiter was great, very attentive and pleasant. Overall a satisfying experience!

    Pan fried Catch of the day with roasted potatoes and tomato sauce
    Ottavia R.

    Surprisingly good! We got the catch of the day and the steak. The fish was perfectly good and the roasted potatoes and tomate sauce good sides that were well paired. The side of boiled vegetables was not particularly good as there was no sauce nor oil to put on them. The steak was good cooked as asked, and the side of veggies and fries were average. Price ranges between 17 and 23€.
