One of Galway Bay Breweries restaurants that we happened upon. The staff was friendly, very attentive and informative. The GBB beers we tried were all delicious and the Irish Stew was the best we ate while in Galway! Lots of tables inside and out and bar seating available. We got there for a late lunch and it wasn't busy but by the time we left, it was. I enjoyed all of the Christmas decorations.

Very spacious and chill place to drop in for a pint if you are strolling along the Salthill Promenade. They have 27 - yes, count them, *27* varieties of beer on tap to try from. Beers rotate in and out like most microbreweries, but they always have a good selection of brews from Galway Bay Brewing Company (they had 10 on the day I visited). I was told that even though the beer isn't brewed here, they are owned by Galway Brewing. They have everything from stouts, IPAs, malty red ales, lagers, cider, dunkels, weisse, helles, and even a sour that I saw on tap. If you can't find a beer you like here, you need to move away from the keg and start drinking wine my friend. The selection is THAT awesome here! I didn't eat here, but their food menu sure looked tasty - a notch above your typical bar food. After all, this is billed as a gastro pub. They have pool tables, and foosball tables in the back, with a large projector screen for watching the sports games. PLENTY of seating in the back area near the TV and pool tables. Even an outdoor patio. I would recommend this as your first stop on the Salthill Promenade.

Nice friendly pub which is the flagship of the Galway Bay Brewery. I got a lot of help choosing a flight of stouts and porters with the genius touch of a (sour) black berlinerweisse, made from the same malts and suggested as a useful palate cleanser - and it absolutely made me appreciate the other beers so much more. The GBB milk stout and smoky porter are both excellent in my opinion, although served colder than I'm used to. This is a great place to head to after a walk along the seafront from Galway to Salthill and not only does it have the full GBB range but also many great guest ales from other Irish breweries. I doubt it's a destination restaurant (I didn't eat) but it's nice to have a food option in a good pub where the ales are still top priority.

The Oslo is a brewpub located in Upper Salthill. The brewery itself goes by the name Bay Brewery. Up front is an eclectic mix of furniture and an open fire. The bar is in the middle section and in the back is where most of the space is located as well as a huge screen. Tuesday nights are movie nights where the screen is used to good effect and there are weekly open mic nights. There is a staggering number of beer from Irish and world Microbreweries along with their own house beers of which there are currently two. An ale and a lager (surprisingly tasty for a lager). A massive bottle selection is also available. Wine lovers are not forgotten either. There is also food available which is quite frankly delicious and worth going to even if you are not drinking. The whole place is clean and very well run. The only downside is that they do not serve lunch till 1pm so if you go in there at 12:30 you will only be offered breakfast. The name "Oslo" comes from the fact that it is the former site of The Oslo hotel and nothing to do with Norway. They celebrated their first birthday on Friday the 13th of August 2010 and had a ghoulish Halloween style party to celebrate. A visit to Galway is not complete without a visit to this place. There is also a beer garden for smokers and sunny days.

That's the place where you should go after a long walk from Galway City centre to Salthill. Not really a place to sit outside as the area on the street is tiny and not very inviting also. But inside isn't a quite nice, traditional and definitely spacious! A huge pub with a large screen to see soccer, rugby or hurling matches.. The beer is the most important thing in this place. Micro Brewery in Galway, many international beers and beers you wouldn't get in every pub - the food is also good - pub god with quality!

We are visiting from the states and happy to find a brewery with craft beers. We enjoyed both the brew and food. Full lineup of beers are all solid, these would sell in the states. IPA, rotating experimental tap, porter and stouts all top-notch. Good selection of guest drafts, too. As their slogan reads: "No Crap on Tap" and they live up to it. Food was well above standard pub fare, try gastropub quality. Seafood chowder one of the best I've had in Ireland.

Met up with some friends here while on holiday. It was perfect. Great atmosphere for a casual dinner with friends. I loved their Full Sail IPA. (And the samples of the various local brews my friends had- including a delightful cider). My fish and chips were the best I've had...ever. I would recommend it because the fish was thick and not too fishy, the batter was tasty and not too think, and the chips were very potatoey (not just fried and soggy). Tarter sauce and mushy peas were fabulous also.

Service in the bar was good enough, and a great location for watching sports on the prom. Sadly though my pasta I ordered basically tasted like a tomato sauce straight out of a can. Lucky I was very hungry or I'd have honestly left it. Overall experience wasn't completely horrible but I won't be back.

Ate dinner here after walking down the salt hill promenade. The chowder is AMAZING, huge chunks of salmon and white fish with chunks of bacon. The menu description doesn't do it justice, so good! My boyfriend got the fish and chips and it was really good as well. They also have a great selection of craft beers and do flights. Just ask the bartender or your waitress and they will help you out.

Tried seafood chowder at 3 establishments in the area and this is by far the best!!! Going to have to try to find imported Galway Bay beers when I get home too!

As a micro brewery, it doesn't cut it. Most of the good options are bottled and can be purchased 2 doors down. The staff knows nothing about beer and also has no minute to minute recall-can only remember one beer at a time. Shall I also mention that she doesn't seem to know how to pour. Now on the the food, tasteless fried garbage with no skill or compliment worthy attributes. Make sure there is salt at your table as it will be your only seasoning. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.
