About Galway Bay Irish Pub, Restaurant and Gift Shop

Galway Bay Irish Pub, Restaurant and Gift Shop offers a cozy atmosphere with interesting decor, including T-shirts on the ceiling dedicated to fire and police, and possibly some ND football memorabilia. The pub features live music every weekend and a wide-ranging gift shop on one side. The building is fairly large, encompassing what looks like a former small U-shaped strip mall, with a cigar humidor, lounge, outdoor patio, main dining room, and a pool table in another area. The kitchen serves dishes like corned beef egg rolls, which are flavorful, light, and crispy, and fish and chips that are not too heavily battered. The menu features an amazing hot horseradish and tasty oyster shooters but could benefit from more vegetable variety and larger portions. The Guinness is served cold in a Guinness glass, enhancing the experience. The place is kid-friendly and welcomes furry family members, with staff allowing dogs to relax in the back and providing water bowls. Prices are on the higher side for the average-tasting food, but the good gravy and dishes like colcannon, made of potatoes and cabbages, are enjoyable, though the colcannon could use more cabbage for a better balance. Overall, Galway Bay offers a fun, inviting atmosphere with lots to explore, making it a great spot for dinner, drinks, or both. The ambiance is praised, and live music, like a talented pianist, adds to the enjoyable experience. Visitors can also enjoy hearty Irish Breakfast or a cold beer, with a reminder to call ahead for fish and chips as they often sell out quickly.
