Galway Bay Irish Restaurant and Pub

It is a great place to get together with friends and share a nice meal. Great dips, sandwiches, and salads. For those who are not keen on beer, like me, they have a good wine selection. It's a little pricey, but it's Annapolis .

Parking: You might need to get some steps if you're not lucky to find a spot on the street right outside the bar.

We went there due to the pub being featured on Food Networks Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. My boyfriend was looking forward to the stuffed cabbage Guy had. What a disappointment. It did not come stuffed (Guys was stuffed with corned beef, mashed potatoes and a seasoned mustard mayo mix). It came plated with dried out flavorless corned beef thrown on top of some small overboiled cabbage. There was a side of mustard that was indeed tasty but would have been better inside a cabbage roll as seen on TV. In order to have even somewhat of the experience Guy did he would have had to just mix everything together on a plate. Not the most appealing thing to do. On a high note my pot roast was melt in your mouth amazing. The atmosphere was pleasant and the establishment clean. I believe the hostess was the star of the visit. He was the most polite, friendly genuinely caring gentleman ever. He made our visit worth while.

A great little Irish Pub and whiskey bar. Good selection of Irish pub fare, the whiskey flights are awesome, super friendly staff, and great atmosphere, especially on Navy football Saturdays - a great pregame location! (although if you do want to go for lunch pregame, I would definitely recommend making a reservation)

Cool little spot. Gives off an authentic vibe with good food and beer on tap.

Parking: Parking situation is a bit annoying in Annapolis but you can't really escape it. The parking app they use makes it a bit more tolerable I guess.

Every time we visit Annapolis, we have a meal at Galway Bay. Being celiac, my wife and I have limited options when dining out, and we always feel safe here. The lamb cheesesteak and shepherd's pie are some of the best I've ever had, and that is not an exaggeration. The staff are always welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The food is always hot, delicious, and quick to the table. We can't come to Annapolis without a visit to Galway Bay.

Very cool, authentic Irish Pub with a whiskey list that will rival anyone's, even many in Ireland. Haven't tried the food (yet!) so didn't rate that, but what came out around us looked great

Looks great and the selection of Irish whiskey, bourbon and scotch is very large. The food was ok but not great. Service was good and we were able to get a table for dinner eventhough they were busy. Would have enjoyed the experience more if the food was better.

It's a solid business lunch and brunch destination. Welcoming atmosphere and good service. They need different options for dessert though...that's why this is only 4 stars. And more non alcoholic drink options.
