Next door to the main Garda (police) station, this very calm bar, restaurant and hotel closed in early 2023.
Lough Inn in Woodquay
Closed permanently from 7 October 2020.
McBrides in Dominick Street
Operated as a gastro-pub for a while - but since 2022 it's been simply another bar in the Monroe's complex
Paddy's in Prospect Hill
Closed for Covid in March 2020, and eventually announced in August 2020 that they would not be re-opening under current management.
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 ... read more about Richardsons's bar in Galway.
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.
