Christmas dinner bookings are now open at The Western Restaurant.

This Christmas, bring your team, family or friends together and enjoy an evening that feels a little different from the usual Christmas night out.

For the occasion, we have created a special Christmas menu with a choice of starters, main courses and desserts, including traditional favourites alongside other options such as Irish beef, Atlantic salmon and a vegetarian main.
It is a chance to sit down, enjoy good food, raise a glass and celebrate the end of the year properly.

Graduation season is almost here, and after all the hard work, late nights and milestones along the way, it deserves to be celebrated properly.

Gather the people who supported you through it all and celebrate together at The Western Restaurant. For the occasion, we have a special graduation menu with a selection of dishes to choose from, giving you the perfect setting for a relaxed meal with family and friends in Galway city centre.

And because every graduation deserves a toast, we will also include complimentary Prosecco to make the occasion feel that little bit more special.

Graduation dates can get busy, so we recommend booking your table in advance and making sure your celebration is part of the plan.

There is something about a toasted sandwich that just feels right at lunchtime. Maybe it is the smell when it comes to the table, the crunch of the toasted bread, or simply having a few quiet minutes in the middle of the day to sit down and enjoy something fresh.

Our Sourdough Toasted Special is one of those lunches that feels easy and familiar, but still feels like a treat. Freshly prepared, warm, full of flavour and served with salad garnish and crisps, it is perfect for a quick lunch in town or a longer catch up with someone you have not seen in a while.

Next time you are passing through Galway city centre, come in, take a seat and make lunch a little more enjoyable.

Fish & Chips has been part of Irish food culture for well over a century, with many of the country’s early chip shops opened by Italian families who settled in Ireland. Somewhere along the way, it became something completely our own.

In Galway, that connection feels especially natural. The Atlantic has shaped the city for generations, from its fishing traditions to the way seafood continues to feature on tables across the city today.

At The Western Bar & Restaurant, we bring that familiar Galway classic into a more refined setting in the heart of the city. A place where local tradition, good service and relaxed dining come together naturally.
