Private Party Venue in Galway

Book Your Space

At M. Fitzgerald’s, we know how to throw a good party – and more importantly, how to host one. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, an intimate engagement do, a work bash that calls for more than just a few drinks, or a family gathering filled with stories and songs, our private party spaces in Galway offer the perfect backdrop for celebration.
Tucked into the heart of the Latin Quarter, M. Fitzgerald’s is Galway’s home for real food, great music, and the kind of atmosphere that turns a night out into a proper memory.

Penny Bar – Your Semi-Private Hideaway

For something a little more exclusive, we offer Penny Bar, our semi-private space just off the main bar. It’s got just the right mix of privacy and buzz – perfect for a group that wants their own corner without missing the craic.

This is where cocktails are shaken with flair, small plates are served with style, and the lighting is always just low enough to feel like something special’s about to happen.

Whether you’re after casual drinks and bites or a full-on party, Penny Bar gives you room to raise a toast and still feel part of the action.

Cocktails, Craft & Celebration

Our drinks list was made for marking moments – from bold Irish whiskeys to handcrafted cocktails that take the familiar and twist it on its head. Hosting a group? We offer:

Signature Cocktail Packages – Tailored menus, tasting flights, and custom creations.
Drinks Receptions – Greet your guests with a glass of bubbly or an old-fashioned with Irish flair.
Boilermaker Pairings – For those who prefer their celebration the classic way: a beer and a bold drop.
Whatever the occasion, our team will work with you to set the tone – from laid-back and easy-going to full-on party mode.

Food with Heart

At M. Fitzgerald’s, we dish out modern Irish food with soul. It’s all about bold flavours, fresh ingredients, and a bit of joy in every bite.

From comforting Irish classics to contemporary gourmet twists, our food is as much about tradition as it is about new ideas. It’s hearty, it’s honest, and it’s made to be shared.
