Ard Bia at Nimmos
The Long WalkThe crane bar is the perfect spot where to listen to trad Irish music, tucked away from the busy latin quarter. Make sure you enjoy a delicious guiness in there!

Perfect place where to eat traditional irish food, with a bit of a modern touch. Good prices, better food.
PS: they don't take reservations, so we advise to go there a bit before you actually want to eat, so that they will take down your number and call you when they have some available seats.

The claddagh used to be a fishermen village, it has long ago merged with Galway but it still keeps some curiosities, like a king! (yes, you heard well). It is a charming part of town, with super friendly local neighbors and right in the heart of everything.
