About

Opened in 1998, Galway Bay has become a well-known Annapolis tradition, built on fine Irish Hospitality. Michael Galway and Anthony Clarke, along with a team of dedicated service veterans with 10+ years with the company, have set the standard for how a real Irish pub and restaurant is measured. Galway Bay has been recognized as Best Irish Pub every year since 2000, Best Bartender 2016, Best Trivia Night, featured in Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, and most recently as a runner-up for “Best Irish Pub Global”. Our mission is to bring truly Irish hospitality to Annapolis, Maryland and beyond, to be authentic in every sense, and to create a memorable experience in food, beverages and service that our customers will come back for.
