Daily Trad & Acoustic Sessions

 

Every evening in our Front Bar, we kick off with a traditional Irish music session—fiddles, flutes, bodhráns and plenty of clapping along. Then we ease into something a bit smoother with acoustic sets from some of Galway’s finest local musicians. It’s the perfect combo: a real Irish welcome, a cold pint in your hand, and music that’ll lift your spirits.
