Reviews

Our visit to Tig Coili in Galway was an absolute highlight of our trip. Arriving early allowed us to secure a seat for the live traditional music sessions, and it was well worth it. We drank RedBreast 15 year while getting lost in the music. The atmosphere was lively and authentic, and the music truly captured the spirit of Ireland.

True Irish Experience

What can I say? A true gem in the heart of Galway. Magic music, magic Guinness and Magic staff. You know you’re in a good place when the staff look like they are enjoying the atmosphere as much as the customers. Still dreaming of that pint of Guinness.

A gem in the heart of Galway City
