Great pub! The chicken goujons are amazing. It’s a great blend of locals and tourists. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The kitchen is open until 10p!!!! Which we accidentally discovered is rare. If you’re fortunate enough to meet the proprietor, Gary, he’s everything you’d been lead to believe about the Irish. Quick wit, friendly and knowledgeable of everything Galway. Can’t say enough good things about Monroe’s
