The first time I went to the Galway Arms, my friend and I ordered six different drinks and sat down to drink them one by one while an Irish band played in the corner. The ambience was terrific - good drinks, good vibes, small pub, Irish music. The second time, the bartender gave me and my two friends each a free shot of his favorite drink. I quite frankly cannot remember what the drink was, but it was delicious. On later visits, I've sampled the food (chips, excellent, hummus plate, excellent) and the service has continued to be terrific. They always seem to make mixed drinks strong, so it's a good value for your money. I've also heard great things about the happy hour at the Galway, although I've never been there during that time. Don't even bother with the Irish Emigrant across the street - this is an Irish pub that knows what it's doing.
