I cannot recommend the Skeff highly enough, due to unfortunate turn of events our hen party of 18 were stuck for a venue , luckily the manager at the skeff done his best to accommodate us and not only did he make space for us...at 9 o’clock on a weekend night but he also held the kitchen until our party arrived and served us platters of finger food which was absolutely fabulous. The band on the night were outstanding , not only their music but they made such a fuss of our bride and honestly made her night. Thank you so much to everyone at the skeff things were looking pretty bad for us and you turned our night around!More

So we went here and git drinks all went well until I asked foe a Guinness and they gave me one in a coors glass. This is a sin... any good itish perosn kneos the unspoken civil law ro respect the Guinness and its glass....This place has forgottten its roots :(. They then tried to charge me for the rectification of the issue and after i refuse dto pag they gave me a guinness glass and foeced me to pour the guinness into it. Absolutely destroying the pint... this place is worse than Cromwell and has less regard for irish culture...More

We ate and drank at the Skeff Bar several times during our three day stay in Galway. We especially liked the Wild Atlantic Way Seafood Chowder and the soup of the day, puréed Potato and Spinach. We also had the Roast Dinner which was excellent....The venue is spread out, but still cozy with many nooks and crannies. The place was fairly busy for lunch and dinner but not overcrowded. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a nice pub to have a dinner, some good food and to relax in.More

Beautiful pub with good beer and great food. The service staff were very friendly and accommodating. It is relatively large pub but very beautiful with multiple bars that makes it feel quant.More

At a tour stop in Galway we found this cozy, charming delightful pub. The people were warm and friendly and the food was excellent. We came in out of the ran for a bit of soup and a drink and throughly enjoyed it all!More

I was in the Skeff bar today with my partner and was served completely inedible food after waiting almost an hour for it too!! I ordered the beer battered cod and chips and the chips were very dry and as hard as the plate they...were served on my partner ordered goujons and chips and the goujons were cheap frozen type and completely tasteless and her chips were also inedible I can honestly say it's by far the worst food I've ever been served and not once were we asked if everything was OK avoid this place at all costs as you will leave hungry and very disgruntled as myself and my partner did todayMore

Really dirty table area outside, even after a long wait for staff to half heartedly wipe it over. Inside the sound was way too loud, we moved to quieter area of the bar, along came a "dj" who tried to tune stereos which was painful....Clumsy, lazy, ill-mannered staff with no backbone or humour whatsoever... avoid this place there are way better places to spend your money in GalwayMore

Excellent service and excellent quality of soup. Personality from all staff members. Bar lady and both female waiter and male waiter. Coffee break was good too. Shelter from the rain . Better than the previous place I walked into. Meal l send back so l...move to Skeffington and it never disappointed me yet. I have to say good.More

Breakfast at 9am. A disappointing start to the day. Food was very greasy. Charged extra for a refill of black coffee. Expected better.More

Lovely interior, great staff especially Niall and Craig. Although it was busy with graduates the staff handled it very well and no waiting to be served, and the 2 boys were extremely pleasant and professionalMore

My girlfriend and I live in Galway, we would be regulars to the Skeff as it’s one of the most popular bars In Galway. My girlfriend and I went to the Skeff and were turned away for being “too on it” . It was our...first pub of the night, ruined our night. We couldn’t believe we’d been so blatantly refused from a pub we were in so often. We didn’t recognise the bouncer, he was definetly new, but he’d picked out my girlfriend as being “well on it” when it was very early in the night and we’d actually tried to walk in after a group of our drunk friends who were let in no problem. We went into O’Connells and tried again 30 minutes later. We were refused again on sight and we’re only met with animosity that we were way to drunk to come inside I must reiterate we tried to come in when it was our first pub of the night. Disgusted, would hope to never meet that bouncer again.More

We came from Germany to spend a week in Galway. We had two great evenings at the Skeff bar with great food. The beef burger and the hake were absolutly delicious. The staff was very kind, especially Jolynn, who served us on those two evenings....If we get back to Galway, we will revisit The Skeff.More
