Cool European pub style bar, located on the main strip of Clark, right in the heart of Lincoln Park. I've heard they often play European football matches on their TVs, so if you follow EPL, this would be a good spot to watch. They have a good craft beer list, actually had a few that I had never heard of before, both American and European. I didn't get any food, but all the sandwiches/items I saw all looked good, a bit above standard bar food, and were good size portions. The old timey wood decor is impressive, along with all the European paraphernalia. These pubs aren't too common, so it's cool to see them when they appear. My sister and her bf are big fans and brought me, I'd happily go again. Would be cool to watch a big Euro Football Match here as well.

This was my first visit to Galway Arm and I loved it. We went around 3 pm on a Friday afternoon. It was sunny and warm for February in Chicago so we sat outside in the enclosed deck. The patio deck area was hopping. It was such a fun environment. I loved that there was a wide range of people - families, couples, friends groups, I was with my 28 year old daughter. It was a tad loud on the patio, but the vibe was so worth it and didn't hinder our conversation. The inside was not crowded, but felt warm and welcoming.Some groups came in for just a round of drinks, others were there for a more, which added to the atmosphere. Our waiter Tommy F. was outstanding. He was very busy, but was able to keep it all together with everything going on. I never saw anyone waiting or rushed when he was at their table. My daughter had the Fish and Chips and I had the Bacon Swiss Mushroom burger, I would highly recommend both of these. I love coleslaw, and it is surprisingly hard to find one I like. Galway Arms has awesome creamy coleslaw with plenty of dressing, but the best part was the size. If I am choosing between fries or coleslaw and they bring me a small compo cup of it, I am disappointed, especially if it is dry. My burger with mushrooms, swiss and bacon was done perfectly with great flavor. Sometimes when you get that multiple toppings the bun gets mushy, this one didn't. My daughter ordered an Irish Coffee, which was good, it came with green and orange sprinkles on it, cute touch. I was in the mood for a beer, I loved that they had basic light beer options along with the Irish beers.

I'm judging this place on 2 criteria: Their ability to pour a proper pint of Guinness and overall pub feel. Walked in and saw the fireplace and very comfortable nook area to sit. They served me a perfectly poured pint of Guinness. I had to have 2 more pints just to make sure they could pour it consistently. Wink wink. Love this place. Will definitely come back.

My friend and I met up at this cute Irish Pub to catch up and read a book. Their front patio is elevated off the sidewalk and overlooks Clark Street; it's peaceful but at the same time lively enough to feel apart of the busy street. Brunch is served until 2, that's automatically going to up my score. I got the Avocado Toast with poached eggs, cherry tomatoes, and radish. The bread was flavorful and didn't get soggy halfway through. That radish brought out the slightest kick and rounded out the dish. My friend has been here multiple times and swears by their breading on both the pickles and the tenders. I had one of her fried pickles and couldn't stop thinking about if I should ask for another. (It can be shared, but I don't know if that was her intention) haha The breading is light and compliments the bite of the thick slice of pickle. The ratio is what you always want, but never get with the skinny slices at your other bar. Bar! That reminds me. The sour they have on tap is balanced and light; perfect for summer. Grab your book and go check out this cute and long standing little pub.

I was excited to go to Galway Arms to have some food and drink in an Irish pub. I had high hopes but was unfortunately disappointed. The curry was nothing like the curry sauce that they have in Ireland. My husband's meal was fine at best. Both were a bit over priced.The staff was nice, but not very attentive. They did not come check in or ask how our meal was. We simply ordered and paid. Not the most welcoming experience.If I'm in the area, I would try it again, but it is not a first choice.

The patio is heated, cozy and has a nice atmosphere- very laid back. The server was friendly. The bathrooms were disgusting (no changing table for a baby, toilets dirty, sink counter moldy). Also, it's in the basement- so narrow and creepy. The dining room area looked nice. The food was really heavy and just okay. The spinach dip was very green looking. I think it's because they use canned spinach. The crostini bread is definitely not enough pieces, and if you ask for more, they'll charge you $2!! The bread and dip was very salty. The burger was too heavy and sloppy. The Mac n cheese for kids was good. It doesn't come with any sides.

Really enjoy the outside covered seating on a beautiful day.We stopped for a couple of beers and fries / sweet potatoes fries to share. Outside seating was available, and surprisingly not too busy. The sweet potato fries and french fries were very good. Beer was cold and appetizers were good, no complaints. The only thing that kept me from giving five stars was the lack of service, when there was plenty of help available.We sat down by the lovely hostess but waited about 15 minutes while waiters walked by and just looked at us. Finally the hostess came back over and asked if we had been waited and went ahead and took our order. Beer and food came out quickly. Everyone was very nice, just need to step up making sure customers are not left unattended.

Ordered fish and chips. The chips were really soggy French fries, and some of the worst I've had - and I've had a lot of fries in my time! Unfortunately this is not the only time I've experienced this here. Maybe I'll finally stop coming here now! Service was slow to start.

I got the burger, very juice and flavorful. Will say was slightly lukewarm when arrived, but we went on a busier day with not enough staff, so think it was possibly just the circumstances. The outdoor patio is nice and the indoor does feel like a pub. I enjoyed the overall experience and the food was very flavorful!
