Donald and Therese Raftery's famous family-run establishment (now in its third generation) is off the old Galway-Dublin road and is the meeting place for the well-known Galway Blazers Hunt, who are kennelled close by.
Immaculately maintained and full of character, this friendly pub has a large car park off the road at the back, a patio area for sunny days and open turf fires and a cosy stove for chilly ones (and a covered smoking area too).
With popular bar food served every day it can make a useful stopping place: house specialities from quite a wide-ranging bar menu include Galway Bay seafood chowder, smoked salmon salad and home-made brown bread, smoked bacon & cabbage with parsley sauce.
All day breakfast (smoked rashers, Clonakilty black & white pudding, orange juice, Bewleys tea/coffee, toast & brown bread), 10 am-4.30pm.
