please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
| Average station bar at Dublin's Heuston station. Fiver for a pint of stout - which marked me as a visitor. Most Dubliners drink lager or cider. Snarling_Mallard - 4 Feb 2018 16:21 |
| As railway station bars go The Galway Hooker is not bad.(A hooker, by the way is a type of sailboat associated with Galway Bay). On the plus side, it is a large spacious and comfortable place away from the noise and hassle of the station concourse. There is an outside seating area and a decent carvery serving much better food than the muck you'll get on the train. The Guinnes is perfect. (It would want to be considering the brewery is directly across the street). On the minus side, the toilets are a bit of a trek up the stairs although they are always spotless, and in the early evenings the place can get a bit crowded with men in suits called Fintan and Maurise drinking bottled lager as they await their train to take them home to their heavily mortgaged semis in Co. Kildare. There are some other pubs about 2 minutes walk across the river but "The Hooker" is a good a spot as any for a relaxing pint before catching the rattler to Galway.

| This was the place serving chip-shop-curry-smelling curry and roast. Just what's needed before or after a long train journey to/from Galway. Several seats for those of us who'd rather not lean against the wall having a smoke! Paul - 18 May 2004 20:03 |
| As far as bars in railway stations go, this is not bad at all. If you've got to hang around for any more than a pint or two, there are some real boozers just on the other side of the Liffey. loz - 18 May 2004 19:52 |
