Update
Smash Bird announced that their last day in this location was New Year's Eve
2025: all operations are now transferred to their
new restaurant in Cross Street.
Originally
This lurid flouro-pink takeaway chicken-and-more shop is casting Dominick
Street in a whole new light. Nestled in between the
classy Plámás coffee-shop and the down-to-earth Giovanni's chipper, they are an eye-catching
addition to Galway's West End, with premises designed by Galway artist, Tracey
Moca.
Officially opened on 1 November 2023, the doors were open the
weekend before at least to tease Halloween visitors to the city.
Located
in Lower Dominick Street, in the same place where
Roost used to be, this fast-food store is taking chicken to new levels - in the
spirit of Birdhouse and Dawghouse (which just happen to be run by the same
people.
The menu features burgers (mostly buttermilk fried chicken, with one beef
option, chicken wings and popcorn-chicken options, "dawgs" (hotdogs) and vegan
"junk" which means Brassica Burger, Dirty Secret, Dominick-Trix Dawg, The
Stray, Creole Corn, and Miso Maple corn. There are also some
interesting-sounding sides (french-fries, tater hashers, halloumi fries, disco
fries, garlic-butter parmesan fries, tagarashi fried, cabbage fritter, Asian
slaw and pickles). And sauces offering all these flavours and more.
Hours to start with
Wed-Thurs, 5 - 10pm
Fri-Sun, 5pm - midnight
