Monroes is well known for their food and Guniness. Music is excellent and trad sessions are not to be missed. A truly Irish music venue experience that you should definalty visit when in Galway, PS it gets real busy at weekends More

I always call in to Monroe's in Galway, it's down by the Spanish arch and serves the best pizza in Galway. You can order your pizza on the shop part and then walk through to the pub where they'll happily serve you your order. There's often live music played in the pub, the atmosphere is relaxing. More

Definitely a hub of Galway's social life year-round. People check in here Sat night to find out who's out for the night. All age groups feel comfortable here and there's music every night. More

The music was okay, the food was pretty good, service was good. The big disappointment is that they advertised dancers and there were none except one night in the week. More

Food wise you can order off their own bar menu or you can walk through the bar to a pizza joint and order a pizza. Not many places in Galway do food till late like here. Pizza is really good and they have ones suitable for coeliacs. Great Irish music and atmosphere. They could do with doing up the bathrooms... More

The pub has been a mainstay for a number of years. Music every night and a lively atmosphere. The crowd can be a mix of lcoals, tourists and students. The food menu is varied and will definitely fill an empty stomach - while it does lean more on the side of pub grub than fancy fare. All in all a... More
