Needed a family Winter adventure to chill us up with a destination in mind to warm us down. That's one of the many things that Irish pubs are for isn't it? So the missus and I packed up the excursion stroller and mushed our mob of munchkins on over to the Queensway and into The Galway Arms. This is a jolly good pub with a warm Irish Canadian atmosphere and great friendly service. A first trip for our family unit, The Galway accomodated the kids handily - there were also several other ruddy faced runtus about with Mums, Ds and Grans. Please don't get the wrong idea, The Galway Arms is not some sort of hybrid Chuck-E-Chipsn'Curry Keltic Romper Room. It is an Irish Pub proper, with scheduled hi-def viewings of live rugby and football akin to local supporters of the favoured firms at play. The decor is what I'd imagine a modern regular working / middle class pub in the great green homeland would be like with plenty o' tell tale accents about. A real bonus of The Galway Arms is the fact that they pour a mighty lovely pint of the Goodness (one of Bob's personal favourite beverages). The Sunday menu was pretty simple; cabbage, ham and boiled potatoes / beef and roasted potatoes / chicken fingers and fried potatoes and a few other dishes that ryhme with "tomatoes" - they also have a typical "pub grub" menu and specials. We ordered some things that the kids would eat and they actually noshed it up. The missus and I filled up on the same - she enjoyed it ... did I mention they pour a mighty lovely pint of Guiness..?
Great reception, jovial clientele and excellent service all add up to a future repeat expedition to The Galway Arms.
