Featured in Bridgerton’s Galway Visit
We’re honoured to have been showcased in a special Netflix feature with Bridgerton stars Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton. Their visit highlighted the authentic Irish hospitality and vibrant atmosphere that M. Fitzgerald’s is known for.
During their visit to Galway, Nicola and Luke, who play Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton, spent time at our Penny Bar – very fitting. Nicola loved being back in her hometown, and the crew was a joy to work with. Alan Broderick, our manager, shared: “The video is a beautiful tribute to Bridgerton and Galway. We’re proud to have been part of this moment and hope it brings fans from around the world to our city.”
