Set on a corner plot named after a founding family of the Tribes of Galway and one of Galway city’s first mayors, John Blake, 1487 – 1488.

The award winning Blake’s Corner Bar is positioned at the historical Blake’s Corner where Eglinton St and Mary St meet. Only a two minutes stroll from Eyre Square, on route to The Town Hall Theatre and Galway’s Cathedral. The area has a proud association with the historically famous Persse’s Whiskey distillery that was located by the Salmon Weir Bridge. Persse’s Galway Whiskey hit the headlines back in 2002 when a full size bottle turned up for sale in the UK, claiming to be the rarest bottle of whiskey in the world with a price tag of....£100,000!

During a period of refurbishment in 2012 two large stone tablets were uncovered in a kitchen wall which dated back to 1790 which bore the name John Scully along with the freemason symbol, giving an interesting insight into the building’s historic past. They are now main feature pieces on display in the bar today.

At Blake’s Corner Bar you will find a relaxing, contemporary, social bar. A good place to enjoy live music, chat with friendly locals or relax beside an open fire with one of the many Irish Whiskey’s available. It’s adjoining the award winning Brasserie on the Corner restaurant, which specialises in steak and seafood dishes.

Be sure to order their exclusive ‘Four Corners of Ireland’ whiskey tasting board, it comes highly recommended. There is also an impressive whiskey board menu, with several different platters to explore. The team of whiskey experts are always happy to make a recommendation.
