Sonny Molloy's — Restaurant in Galway

Food is great and the Whiskey choices are second to none in Galway, maybe all of Ireland. I ordered their Sonny Malloy's Redbreast 19 y/o. It was amazing! So smooth and almost melts in your mouth. The glass it was served in had a nice chip in it on one side of the rim. We told our server about it because I didn't want them to think I chipped it. It was a very nice Sonny Malloy RB 16 y/o glass.

There were no signs saying that you couldn’t sit there for only drinks and no one even talked to us when we walked in. After this happened, he started putting “reserved table” signs on all the other tables, I’m assuming so no one else would “bother him”...

My wife and I sat down at the bar and weren't really greeted or tended to, we had to catch the bartenders attention to place our order. It didn't seem like he had too many things going on as he was chatting with his coworkers. We did get some interesting facts out of him when he did engage with us, that a local woodworker wraps a 'Sonny Molloy's' laser etched piece of wood around a flask for them to sell. We promptly added it to our bill and paid after 2 Guiness and a neat Jameson. The bottles of Whisky that surround the pub make for an interesting decor, there was no shortage of Readbreast and Middleton bottles. It did look as though they also had their own Labled whisky and...
