E Brún

This Galway city bar was opened February in 2008 by Tom McDonagh, a veteran of the London pub scene who arrived with a passion for create a traditional pub with loyal local customers, and dedicated staff - the very opposite of Galway's growing super-pubs.

With stained glass in the front windows, oak floors, and a carefully build traditional pub interior, this was quite a change for a building that was E Brun Post Office unti 1991, and had been derelict for some time.

Despite being a very small bar, they still had big-screen TVs to show racing, rugby, and other sports, with soup and toasted sandwiches served during the day.

Like all pubs, E Brún closed when the COVID 19 pandemic broke out.   Unfortunately they never opened again.
