Combining a large open-air beer garden with a gorgeous traditional thatched Irish bar, McDonagh’s Thatch Bar & Beer Garden is a truly unique drinking destination located only a short drive from Galway city.

Its interiors are decked out with one-of-a-kind Irish signs and antiques, making for a fabulous backdrop for your evening of pints and cocktails. Throughout the bar and beer garden are 7 screen TVs showing all manner of live sports, from racing to GAA and Football. In the summer months, visitors can enjoy the al fresco experience of drinking in a sunny beer garden whereas on colder nights and in winter months, the cosy fireplace is the perfect setting for a Guinness and catch-ups with friends and family. To complete your experience with them, they have live music every Thursday to Sunday, featuring a wealth of local and Irish musicians.

McDonagh’s Thatch Bar & Beer Garden is also home to an extensive bar menu, which includes one of the best pints of Guinness we’ve ever tasted. They also have just opened a stunning new cocktail bar in their beer garden, and launched a menu that features a diverse selection of freshly made cocktails, with both the classics and new favourites.
