AtmosphereFriendly staff
Terrific wine range and the atmosphere in this place is class/music really suits the vibe of the restaurant. Didn’t get a chance to try the food this time but the menu/tapas selection looks incredible - they also currently have Chicharrones as a special which are near impossible to find in Galway so that’s an immediate 5 star. Staff extremely friendly, would definitely recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely be back to have food too!
We had a relatively late and relative large lunch so we were looking for a late and light dinner on our first day in Galway. La Vina was perfect for that.
Location is awesome. Just off the main entertainment district you can sit outside and have a quiet conversation without massive crowds. Alternately you can sit inside and enjoy a cosy atmosphere.
Food was excellent. We over ordered because it all sounded so good on the menu. It was as good as it read and we couldn't finish.
I got a really nice white wine and SO got a cocktail that Im pretty sure our server made up on the spot. Definitely a place that probably has a lot of off menu items.
Service was top notch and they were very accommodating of my food allergies.
Recommended.
A lovely little spot for tapas and wine with Irish ingredients.
The live flamenco guitar adds an amazing atmosphere — definitely a great wine bar to spend the evening in.
