Get to know Quay Street’s Newest Traditional Pub

There’s a new-look, new-feel pub in town, and it’s about as Galway as you can get. That’s right, M. Fitzgerald’s is the newest bar in town where you can enjoy live music, fantastic food, and drink to beat the band, but it’s also one of the more traditional Irish spots with a dash of divilment.

You’ll find M. Fitzgerald’s where Kirwan’s Lane meets Quay Street in the cultural heart of the city, where 1520 Bar used to be. With their doors now open, M. Fitzgerald’s is inviting people to enjoy the unique charm of this Galway spot where they know their soakage as well as they know what “just one more” really means.

Think of M. Fitzgerald’s like a second home where you can expect a warm welcome, a delicious meal, a hot whiskey, and more. Plus, with live music seven nights a week, it’s sure to get you up and moving. After all, there’s surely nothing better than a proper session with talented musicians.

With a fantastic menu, M. Fitzgerald’s is all about incredible food because they believe that “good sense is as important as food” – and there’s plenty of amazing grub to be had here. Traditional options like fish and chips, beef and Guinness stew, creamy mash, and steamed veg are sure to have you dreaming of what granny used to make. Or, if you’re after a contemporary classic, a gourmet burger or a butter chicken curry might be more up your boithrín.

If you need a stiff drop of whiskey, a freshly poured pint of Irish stout, or a refreshing beer, M. Fitzgerald’s will soon have you right. Or if you’re looking to push the boat out and try something different, they even have handcrafted cocktails in Penny Bar. Thanks to the inviting seating and old Irish feel with a dash of contemporary comfort, it’s perfect for a few drinks. Now, how’s that for you?

So, why not call in to the newest Galway bar (that’s also one of the most traditional) and make the most of the craic, ceol, agus ól where you can enjoy living life like a local.
