John Keoghs – The Lock Keeper has been a very welcome addition and is now firmly placed among the places to go recommendations for Galway.

The bars at John Keogh’s are filled with snugs and partitions with genuine pub antiquities, this along with an open fire and a warm welcome makes this the place to eat and drink this winter in Galway.
Named as one of Irelands top 20 gastro pubs, John Keogh’s The Lockkeeper has also been named as the best pub food and best customer service in Connacht the Irish Pub Awards 2017, Highly Commended in the Yes Chef Awards and as Ireland’s Newcomer Restaurant in the Hotel & Catering Review Gold Medal Awards.
