For anyone looking for somewhere to make a proper night of it, Mary Mullens is a natural addition to the list. With live music seven days a week, plenty of space for friend groups and late nights that stretch into the early hours, it’s built for those nights when one drink turns into a few more.

With a new college year getting underway in September, Thursdays at Mary Mullens are all about the students. Their special student-focused drinks deals will run throughout the college year, making Thursday the perfect excuse to gather the gang, meet up with course mates and get the weekend started a little early.

The atmosphere at Mary Mullens is a big part of the appeal. As evening rolls in, the courtyard takes on a completely different energy, with neon signs, low lights and the crowd building around the bars. There are two fully stocked outdoor bars for those busy nights, while the cocktail bar offers another option when you fancy moving beyond your usual pint or spirit. There’s plenty of choice, wherever the night takes you.

Then there’s the entertainment. Live music runs seven days a week, so there’s always something happening. If you like following the latest sports - they show all the big games here too! As the official sponsors of the Man United Galway Supporters Club, they fly the flag high as they host the supporters for every upcoming United game; pre-season, league, and beyond. Mary Mullens is a brilliant spot to meet up before or during a big match.

And, because every good night out needs food, the loaded fries at Mary Mullens are well worth seeking out. Toppings include birria beef, truffle mayo, Korean pork and kimchi, as well as the classic spice bag fries with curry sauce. We're talking about the kind of food you can order for the table and dig into while the music plays and the night continues around you. The kitchen stays open until 9pm, with a menu packed with options for sharing or grabbing a bite before the night really gets going.

Late nights led into early hours every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with the venue open until 2am. Bank holiday weekends equals a Sunday late night, giving you another reason to keep the night going. So no matter if you’re a student, a local or visiting the city on holiday, Mary Mullens is ready when you are.
