About
Platters of local oysters and mussels are served throughout the day at this homey tavern, with its lemon color and thatched roof. You can pick your favorite spot to relax in the half-dozen rooms and alcoves with stone walls, open fireplaces, potbellied stoves, and traditional sugan chairs (wood chairs with twisted rope seats). In good weather, there is seating in a back garden. Lunch and snack items range from seafood soups and chowders to sandwiches, salads, and omelets. In the evening, you can also order full meals, with choices such as Atlantic plaice and crab with prawn sauce, and honey roast duck with mead sauce. The tavern is on the main road, 16km (10 miles) south of Galway City.
