    The Huntsman & Sheridans, or would you consider both more restaurants.

    Massimo's and the 12 in Barna are great.

    Murty rabbits, finest in the city

    Massimo, streets ahead of the rest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,295 ✭✭✭✭Mrs OBumble


    Massimos have food served in a pub, for sure, but it's hardly pub-grub: It's streets ahead because it is treated as a separate food business, not just soakage.

    Pub-grup is cheap, cheerful and filling. Lots of pubs don't do it at all. Taffes do a great Irish breakfast, dunno about the rest of the day.

    Anyone try Keoghs The Lock keepers yet? Menu looks good.

    Mixed experience. Service is great, had some nice bites but a little pricey for what it was. This was early on though. Friend had a do there, not a huge amount for the cost, but food tasty.

    Massimos and the Huntsman


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 197 ✭✭Eogclouder


    1. Hungover sunday fry in the back of Monroes with a pint is always excellent. All the staff are nice in there too.

    2. In the Bierhaus they've a food counter that does a selection of sandwiches (pulled pork po'boys, greilled chese with jalapeno and bacon etc.) and that's all good stuff too.

    3. The pub grub in the The Dail is good, I like their wings.

    Agree with all that.

    Pub grub has developed from your description into something far better and far more attractive to people looking to eat out.

    It is cheap though...they have a special every day. It's usually something like 12 euro for the special and a pint.

    There's a great video with PJ explaining the concoction for the burgers and the influences. It's a gastropub. I love it.

    The food in Blakes Bar is excellent, as is the service.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 734 ✭✭✭bs2014


    The Dail bar or the Quays bar had 2 recent good visits last time I was down in Galway

    Love that expression... gastro pub. Sounds all French and sophisticated. Until you say it to a French person.... cue hysterical laughter. Gastro to them means diarrhoea :D

    We've come a long way from what pub grub used to mean.
    Sandwiches, plates of chips, beans on toast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,209 ✭✭✭✭JohnCleary


    Dail Bar

    Striploin with chips or mash, onions and mushrooms and some onion rings. All washed down with pint of your choice (or glass of wine) - €17.95

    Sheridans, Seven, McSwiggans, all top class, Taaffes for the Soup & Toastie,
    the last 2 times i've been in the Cellar was a major let down although i'll put it down to them being busy and having an off day(s), it's been fantastic all other times i've been in. we really are spoiled for choice with the pub grub in the city :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 731 ✭✭✭Butterface


    The Dail bar is my go to for pub grub in the city. The food is good and the service is great.
    Seven is decent - they have sweet potato fries on the menu!
    Tom Sheridan's is consistently good.
