Screene’s on the Square

On the edge of Eyre Square in Galway city, the newly-opened Screene’s on the Square is serving cold pints, a warm welcome, craic agus ceoil, and the very best of Irish hospitality.

Whether you’re in for a catchup with friends or a night of trad tunes, Screene’s strikes the perfect balance between lively and laid-back. With weekly music residencies, such as Tradwest on Sunday, Jukebox John on Tuesday, Groev on Wednesday, as well as The CEO’s and The Galway Ramblers on Thursdays in addition to rotating guest performers.

But it’s not just the music pulling people in, the bar and food menu quietly steals the spotlight. Think hearty roasts, juicy steaks, fresh seafood, and comforting pub classics, all locally sourced and served with care. Alongside a full bar menu of cocktails, craft beers and spirits.

What truly sets Screene’s apart is its people-first philosophy. The team is building something meaningful from the ground floor up, focusing on genuine connection, quality over speed, and creating a place where conversation flows.

If you’re after a pint without the chaos, a tune without the shouting, or a meal that tastes like home (but better), make your way to Screene’s on the Square.
