    • We are here on Saturday last, my wife had the jalopeno burger and I had the proper scallops. I tasted her burger and for the first time in a long time I actually got the flavor in the meat. It was succulent and seasoned and wasn’t depending on a sauce for flavoring. My scallops were massive and juicy. Nachos and wings for starters were excellent. All in all a very good experience.

    • We held our wedding party at An Pucan a few weeks ago and I cannot say enough good things about this bar! The manager Conor and all of the staff were absolutely incredible. I contacted Conor late last year from overseas about having a BBQ and party in the beer garden, he and Adam basically took control from there helped with the menu and band and made everything so seamless and easy, living overseas it was reassuring to know we were being looked after.

      We visited the pub the week of the party and we were so impressed with how the pub and beer garden looked. The day of the party the staff went out of their way to make us feel special, all guests raved about how delicious the food was and the band were brilliant. Many compliments also went to the bar staff for their amazing memories and quick service! If your looking for a drink, food or a party I couldn't recommend this place more highly. They were brilliant in every way.

    • Galway is one of the best towns to experience the traditional Irish scene. And this is one of the best Pubs to experience that music. You can find music on the early and late side which is nice for those that want to go to bed on the early.

      We enjoyed the music so much that we went twice. Once for meeting friends and enjoying the music and the other time for dinner. If you like the music loud, sit up close. But we preferred to grab a booth both times so we could enjoy the music but still hold a conversation.

    • Very popular spot and it’s easy to see why. The food is fantastic. Thick cut pinko crusted calamari was tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Tasty pan-fried chicken with a lovely gravy. Perfectly cooked mixed vegetables. Generous portion of crispy fish and chips. Service was swift and the atmosphere is energized. We would certainly come again.
    • While overnighting in Galway, we were looking for a place to eat and hopefully hear some music. We saw the musicians setting up through the window and decided to give An Pucan a try. I am so glad we did!. The food and the music were both top notch!

    • Great soup and brown bread; wonderfully delicious fish sandwich too. Listened to early group-talented guitarist and banjo players. Stayed on for Paddy Jordan. What a talented and versatile musician!!!
      April 2019
    • We were walking by, heard the music and stopped in. The music was lively and enthusiastic. Everyone was having a great time. We will return when we have more time.

    • We spent two weeks travelling the “Wild Atlantic Way” and loved Galway - especially An Pucan Bar & Restaurant. Great entertainment every night! It’s so nice to find a pub that has entertainment every night. If you want dinner or a bit to eat, get there before 8 though. Food was good and entertainment was top notch!
