Closed for Covid in March 2020, and eventually announced in August 2020
that they would not be re-opening under current management.
R M McCabes in Salthill
Lots of people have opened here with gastro-pub intentions, and
rapidly gone back to being a pub that does food. Nice
food.

Richardson's in Prospect Hill
Did being at number 1 Eyre Square make this the first pub in
Galway? Or was it the first one that people walked
past? Either way, it's now closed

Tribeton
The bar and restaurant complex closed for Covid in March 2020, and never
re-opened. The building was proposed to be converted to
offices in May 2020, but that didn't happen either.
