Huntsman Bar & Restaurant

If you’re looking for a good breakfast spot, this is it.
My wife and I had breakfast here two mornings within a week and we weren’t disappointed. The eggs, bacon, and really everything on the breakfast menu here is very good. The service follows suit. Good food. Good tea. Good service. Good overall.
The only criticism we’d give is that on day one we got one size glass of orange juice and on day two we got a smaller one. Kind of odd, but whatever.

My boyfriend and I were there last September and we loved it! Next time in Galway we’ll pay them a visit again for sure!

The huntsman really surprised me. The name and outside view suggests a classic country Irish pub/​bar but the reality is much different. Inside is a modern, well designed restaurant that served classic Irish foods with a twist.
I got the lentil curry (only veggie option) and would really recommend it. Not too heavy but with enough flavour to justify the cost.
Overall it’s a place that will make you feel like the celtic tiger is back in full swing, whether or not that’s a bad thing I will leave up to you.

A quick spin down to Cork for a meeting left myself and my colleague hungry, spotting the Huntsman we dive straight in and eagerly order chicken wraps.
As we wait for the food we look around… the place is very modern and cooly decorated… the more we looked the more we saw the detail of what must have been a very expensive design job. It was worth it, it really worked. The toilets were likewise clean and very funky (in the cool meaning rather than anything else).
The place was packed, which at midday on a Tuesday afternoon usually means the food is something special, our hunger grew as did our expectations.
Food arrived quickly and we eagerly dived in to a very full wrap served with salad, coleslaw and fries… just about perfect in presentation.
…it all went a little downhill from there, the food was OK… not great, not by any means awful either… it just didn’t come up to the standard we had expected.
None the less, we cleaned the plates and followed with a reasonable coffee.
I’d definately give it another chance, its just too damn inviting not to!

Great find in Galway! My husband and parents stayed at the Huntsman this past weekend and really enjoyed our stay. The rooms were updated and clean and the beds were really comfortable! As far as the restaurant was concerned, all meals were fantastic (breakfast and dinner). The bartenders and the wait staff were all very attentive and had pleasant personalities. There was even a live band of playing on Friday and Saturday night. I would recommend the Huntsman to anyone visiting Galway and looking for top accommodation and good food!

The quality of the food can vary from really good to just OK.
The service lately has been really slow. It took over 40 minutes for me & my dad to get lunch.
It is a good spot to go and have a chat over a few beers

Nice breakfast surprise!
Not only that they have free coffee for your breakfast they also have many choices, from full breakfast to poached or scrambled eggs plus the most amazing pancakes, yum!

Good restaurant decent prices always very busy. I had the burger yesterday and it was very good home made chips just make the meal!
My only problem is I had the biscuit cake for desert and it had orange chocolate in it never said it on the menu and it’s just something I hate.
The chowder is amazing if your looking for a good chowder def try this place!

I really want to rate this place higher because the food is excellent, the décor is good and the atmosphere is quite good too. But the service here is appalling. I’m not sure why because it seems like a nice place to work in, but I’ve consistently had poor service there each and every time I’ve visited. Waitresses who just bang the food out on the table without spending any time to explain what the dish is or even trying to upsell the desserts or sides. The last time I went there I had an excellent dish but the waitress didn’t even know what the soup of the day was (I mean it’s always vegetable of some kind). We ended up not getting a dessert because I was just so annoyed by the brusk service, but that wasn’t a once off.
Bottom line: great food, nice place but excuse the rude staff.

Nice food and a good place for a drink!

This is a really nice bar to hang out and get some dinner and drinks in. This makes it the perfect place for after work drinks. The menu is good but a bit pricey. A simple sambo can set you back € 10. Nice athmosphere and great guinness.

Good little hotel. Sort of boutique style large rooms, comfortable bed and plasma TV. Modern bathrooom. Breakfast is included and is excellent.
It is a lively place at night. There are three bars downstairs as well as a restaurant, and its a short walk to town. Good value too.
