About this business

Editorial fromOn the surface Galway Arms may seem like a classy pub, but viewed up close and personal, it's more of a dark, funky watering hole of the type found in classic 50s movies. Popular with local students who enjoy pinball machines along with…

Sample some superior bar food while taking in a show at this U-District favorite. – The Scene This tiny storefront pub on University Way (the Ave, to locals) could easily be missed. But once inside this Irish gem of a bar, the salty warm smell of hamburgers grilling combined with the welcome greeting from a friendly bartender may have you wondering why it took you so long to stop in.

It would be nice to get service. – I've gone here a few times, and each time has gotten progressively worse. The food is wonderful, but the service has been lackluster to poor.

Best pub I've been to – I can honestly say that the Galway Arms is by far the best pub I've visited. Their staff actually make you feel welcome, not an inconvenience like we've all become so accustomed to. A very friendly atmosphere, and the type of experience you imagine as a kid, and see on TV. A place you can some have a few pints(20 oz ones, at that), share a few stories, and talk with complete strangers like you've known each other for years. With my first visit, I already feel like I've made a handful of new friends.

How did I miss this place for so long?? – The ONLY Irish pub in the city that actually feels like the genuine thing. Plus good music and the best bartender I've had in a long time... Finally, a low-key good time close to home.
