Galway Bay Irish Pub

Galway Bay Irish Pub has long played host to this celebrated event.  This amazing little jewel of Grays Harbor features live music throughout the year, along with amazing food, a separate whiskey bar and walk in humidor. Out back, through a man-sized Guinness glass, is a covered beer garden and gaming rooms. It’s really a wonderful venue allowing plenty of options to enjoy your time at the festival.

If you are looking to pick up some authentic Irish garb, there is a gift shop conveniently located through the whiskey lounge (all age access is available through the main entrance in the parking lot).
