Hands down the best restaurant-bar in Galway. Kirwan’s Lane is famed for its delicious Seafood Bar (sometime people drive over from surrounding towns just for that). And it’s not just the seasonal seafood – meat and veggie dishes are just as carefully prepared using the best locally grown produce. The cuisine is very modern Irish, and very tasty. They have an extensive international wine list too.

Somehow the bar manages to be right for just about every mood and occasion.  There’s usually live jazz or blues playing, or at least a soft piano.

Located in Galway’s bustling Latin Quarter, the eatery brings the street’s vibe indoors. The insides are decorated in warm and autumnal colors.

• Ask a local for public transport options.
