“We ate there for the first time for my birthday dinner this evening. We were very pleased with everything and plan to return.To start those corned beef poppers(chef kiss). I highly recommend and the serving is perfect for 2 people to share. We also had the brussel sprouts. I loved them even though they were spicy. I don't do spice but they were delicious and I kept eating them. I loved the potato leek soup. The flavor and texture was fantastic. I had shepherds pie and my husband had bangers and mash. Both were very good. We ended with bread pudding and baileys chocolate mousse. As someone who is normally picky about bread pudding because restaurants usually cant get it right I am telling you, get the bread pudding. The egg custard and consistency of the bread is perfection. It brought back memories of my nanny's bread pudding. My husband did get one of the whiskey flights as well and he enjoyed them.Our server was amazing and I wish I would have gotten her name. All staff who we came in contact with were polite and very hard working.“
“This was our second visit to Annapolis and our second visit to this wonderfully warm pub.Stopped by for a couple of Jameson’s and a properly-poured Guinness on our way to check out the next day’s festivities at SHAMROCK THE DOCK.Seamus, a great bartender (as was Brian and a lovely young lady with an incredibly upbeat personality), recommended that we try the corned beef poppers. Delicious! Great Irish music on the sound system and good convo with the barkeeps made for fine craic!Wandered off and came back a wee bit later for the lamb cheesesteak—a wonderful variation on the old Philly classic!Stayed for a bit to listen to a fine singer who was doing some Irish classics….wanted to stay longer but this old coot, after a long drive and a “few” pick me ups, headed off for some rest before the next day’s excellent celebration of the Auld Saint’s special day.The bride and I have been to Ireland many times…the decor…the bartenders…the food…the music…GALWAY does its inspiration proud!“

“Such a happening pub with their authentic Irish faire and a great staff. There's plenty of tables to host our friends for Sunday brunch, quite the bar selection for the after meal or mid-week after work wind down, large televisions to catch a specific game, dartboards, an outside three-season space, and of course the live music area on select nights.“
“What a fantastic gem in Annapolis! A warm welcome when you enter and plenty of Irish whiskey to keep the warmth going. The bartenders have great convos and suggestions if you're not sure what you want. If you happen to catch Vincent there he has stories that could fill a book. If you're a couple looking for a nice drink with awesome folks then enter here immediately ‼️. Well done Castlebay?“
“It was like finding an old friend.... We had not been to Brian Boru's in quite some time probably pre-Covid but we wandered in the other day and were quite pleased that we did. The menu had many any great choices and our meals were excellent. The hardest part was just trying to decide between all the choices. We went on a Saturday night and they had music planned for later. All in all ... it was just so nice to re-discover this restaurant again.“
