Culinary Delights to Match Your Celebration

At Penny Bar, we believe every good celebration deserves great food. Sure, we’ve got your traditional Irish favourites, but we’re also bringing in contemporary gourmet offerings for those who like their grub with a twist.

OUR EVENING MENU

Signature Cocktails – A Taste of Galway, With a Twist

At Penny Bar, we don’t just shake drinks—we tell stories. Our cocktail menu blends Irish heart with global flair, paying homage to the people, places, and culture that shape who we are. Whether you’re sipping something smooth and smoky or light and bright, there’s a bit of Galway in every glass.

Try The Green & Blue Wave – a vibrant mix of Ketel One vodka, lychee, blue curaçao, lemon, and rose water – raising a glass to Ireland’s sky-high spirit and aviation legacy. Or Method Man, made with Casamigos tequila, mezcal, peach liqueur, lime and cranberry, a tribute to the intensity and craft of Daniel Day-Lewis himself.

So whether it’s twenty people or seventy, casual pints or full-on party, we’ll help make your event one to remember.
