Blake's Bar — Restaurant in Galway

I have a coffee or a beverage at Blake's Bar sometimes and I genuinely do like the staff. The manager is a gentleman. I was having a bad day today and he gave me a nice cup of tea without charging me. I was actually very touched by his act of generosity, kindness, Human Decency and Respect that let's be fair, most or nearly all workers in restaurant/bars, even cafes do lack nowadays. This is what's missing in people today but it's nice to see these traits are still in some people. It costs nothing to be nice and treat someone with respect! I'm very happy and comfortable to come here for my cuppa coffee or pint every day or two. The manager along with naturally friendly, working hard staff (including the chefs and kitchen porters in which I have the odd chat with) are great overall.

The menu was a smaller/condensed version of the restaurant (as we subsequently found out) but sufficient for our needs so we decided to give it a try. The service and food were very good and while it was fun eating in the pub which claims to be the 'oldest', it would have been more fun to have a drink in the pub and dinner in the restaurant. So just a FYI - it you want to eat be sure to make reservations at the Brassiere and not...
