This new pub in Galway opened on 16 March 2024 - just in time for the St Patrick's Day parade to go past.

They're at number 1 Eyre Square, where Richardson's used to be, and they've spent months working hard on cleaning and renovating the interior to give a classic Irish pub vibe. In the last week or so, the outside has had most of the old bright yellow-and-blue colour scheme removed, replaced with tasteful white and a traditional-looking sign. There's probably more work to be done on the exterior in the next few weeks, but inside the bar appears to have been thoroughly redesigned and thoughtfully-lit.

There are no public announcements, social media or even beer signs outside yet - but it's pub in Galway so will probably have Guinness at least flowing freely in the first weekend.
