Galway Hooker is a fun place. The interior is comfortable and attractive, and makes one, like me, who has never actually been in a pub in Ireland feel like this is what one must be like. The menu has lots of choices we Americans expect to find in Irish pubs, and the food is quite good. The place gets crowded and loud, but the young and attractive wait staff work hard to keep up. The food is better than everything else about the place would suggest. There is a good selection of beers, and an adequate selection of inexpensive wines.
