Our Irish Pub – MacNeill’s

Its charming interior, with its dark wood panelling, stained glass windows, and cosy nooks, exudes a timeless Irish pub ambiance. MacNeill’s has had many different identities over the centuries, O’Flaherty’s perhaps the most famous, but at all times it has been the favoured haunt for locals, travellers, and literary luminaries, earning its place in the annals of Galway’s social and cultural heritage.
