One of my favorite fish restaurants on Galway!
Great starters, good wine selection.
Prawns starter and beetroot salad was both very good.
Highly recommend the sole for main course. Salmon very nice. Steak was also good.
Service was friendly and efficient – especially given we were a large group. Booking is recommended.

Looking for seafood chowder then this is calling your name. We have been from Halifax to New England to all points saying their is the best. O’Gradys is in the top tier. The flavor the texture every soulful had an abundance of seafood no fillers.
Though the service knew as if you were getting a great value and lost that family welcoming feeling the kitchen delivered.
The oysters were best we had and I don’t just say that without knowing Fanny bay in Canada , all points in Cape Cod, they were delicious. My partner had the steamed mussels and per her comment cooked perfectly. She almost couldn’t finished . It was too good not to.
It’s a destination place to go is the best compliment.
My sea bass was filet and cooked perfectly. Seasoned right and was equally enjoyable every bite.

Lovely evening at O’Grady’s. Lauren, our server, was fantastic—honest about a sudden tour group rush but never missed a beat. Chowder was rich, oysters fresh, sea bass full of flavor. Sticky toffee pudding with honeycomb ice cream sealed the deal. Cozy outside with heaters. We’ll be back.

We took a taxi from Galway to eat here and then found out they have a sister restaurant right in Galway called Kirwin’s Lane. O’Gradys was so good that we ate at both of them. Terrific oysters. Large, briny. Straight from the sea to our table. And wonderfully flavored and well cooked mussels. Huge serving. Homemade brown bread was also a hit and the interior of the restaurant is quaint and well done. This was our best meal in all 7 cities that we visited in Ireland. Oh, my husband had the seafood chowder which I ordered the next day at Kirwin’s. Best chowder in Ireland. Eat here or at Kirwin’s, which was packed at lunch. A real winner.

Fantastic place!
Staff well trained and prepared.
The food was excellent as the fish was fresh and the attention to details was very high.
Amazing atmosphere, it was nice, cozy, and outside rainy (as usual).
Congratulations to the owner and to the staff.
Will come back again.

Absolutely stunning view on the ocean, located just on the beach, with huge windows and tables beside them. Lovely atmosphere, super friendly and kind staff, constantly keeping an eye to see if you need anything. Food was way above any possible expectation: amazing fish chowder, the very best seabass ever tasted, and linguine with seafood which came plenty of seafood. The only small observation I can make, and maybe just because I sm italian and I am a bit fossy with pasta, is that the linguine were overcooked. Apart from this, I think this is one of the very best seafood places where I have been.

Very nice higher end dining spot. The service and food were wonderful, and the views were amazing. Had to wait a little while for a table since we didn’t make reservations, but that gave us time to wander around the pier and walk down the beach!

After a day filled with breathtaking landscapes and memorable stops, we concluded our journey with a well-deserved dinner at the renowned O’Grady’s on the Pier in Barna, County Galway.
Known for its exceptional seafood and stunning views of Galway Bay, O’Grady’s offered the perfect setting to unwind. We were fortunate to arrive on a day with clear skies, allowing us to witness an unforgettable sunset over the water.
Dinner Highlights:
• Freshly baked Irish bread to start
• Succulent oysters, a house specialty
• Tender beef short ribs that melted in the mouth
The combination of exquisite food, warm hospitality, and the serene ambiance made for an evening to remember. As we stepped out, the night sky over the bay provided a peaceful end to our adventurous day.
