| good for music, bad for everything else. this used to be a great pub but priorities changed under new ownership and now its a superpub type venue, if you`re into that scene then it def for you. quality of draught is usually poor but to be fair it is prob the best of a bad lot for late night drinking kel_bar - 28 May 2010 12:31 |
| Great pub, great Guinness. Good to hear about the new smoking terrace as not been there in a while. Really good venue at the back. Best pub in Galway since sad demise of Taylors. emmadelahunt - 23 Mar 2008 11:30 |
| Recently refurbished with new bar upstairs complete with roof terrace. Downstairs hasn't changed too much although the the seating area at the bar near the window seems set to dissapear. (It was boarded up when I called in last weekend). Hopefully its not gone as it was a nice place to sit and watch the world go by outside. However, with the new roof garden above us smokers no longer have to inhale exhaust fumes with our fags in the street outside. The new look Roisin is an improvement and as a music venue its still amongst the best in the country. The crowd who drink here seem to know a good pub when they see one unlike the unfortunate tourists across the road in Monroes. I'll up my rating a notch since my first review of the place 18 months ago. The_Inspector - 31 Jul 2006 06:10 |
| Not bad at all, It can lack atmosphere when its quiet but when it begins to fill up in the evenings you know you're in a good pub. To the rear of the pub is one of the best live music venues in Galway. It plays host to some very reputable bands and sells out most nights although tickets usually tend to go at the last minute so you should get your hands on one by calling into the bar early in the day or the day before a gig. The pub itself is warm and cosy with little nooks and crannies to sit in. They don't bother doing stuff like food here. Galway pubs are for drinkin and Roisin's do drink in style. Good staff and good beer. A clean joint with toilets up to scratch. The_Inspector - 24 Feb 2005 19:29 |
| This is a great pub, though not not as good as Taylor's bar two doors down, which sadly closed last Sunday (4/4/04). Go to the Dubh if you can it's worth it. Nice snugbehind the fireplace, good atmosphere, very busy in the evening. BIGBOABY - 7 Apr 2004 17:40 |
