Award-Winning Food:
The Kings Head is a place where great food is always the priority. They were awarded Gastro Bar of the Year in Connacht at the Restaurant Association of Ireland Awards 2024, and they also received the Best Sustainably Sourced Chowder in Ireland for 2024! All this is led by their talented chef, Brendan Keane.
The Kings Head is a staple for Galway locals, a welcoming space where everyone can relax by the open fire and enjoy the warm, inviting atmosphere. Whether you're popping in for a meal or just to unwind with a drink, it's the perfect meeting point when you're in town.
Live Music & Entertainment:
Enjoy live music every night of the week, making it the go-to spot for a great night out. And for those who love a good laugh, there’s comedy at the Ruby Room, offering plenty of entertainment to keep you happy and laughing.
Local Brews & Spirits:
For those who appreciate unique drinks, the Kings Head has its very own red ale which is brewed locally by Galway Hooker in Oranmore. It is a preservative free, small batch, traditional red ale which keeps its head... unlike a certain King! With free live music every single night, a Late Bar and a whiskey bar.
