“We booked The Gallery Wine & Tapas Bar for a hen party and it was the highlight of our weekend in Westport. The space is cosy, quirky and full of character, with shelves of books and vinyl that set such a fun, relaxed tone for the night. Tom talked us through the menu and wine list, making great recommendations and explaining where everything was sourced in a really friendly, down‑to‑earth way. The sharing boards and tapas were generous, adventurous and absolutely delicious – the aubergine dishes and vegan stuffed dates were stand‑outs and catered perfectly to our mix of veggie and non‑veggie guests. It felt like having a private little party in a local’s favourite spot rather than a generic hen venue, and everyone left full, happy and already planning a return trip.”

“We wanted something a bit different from the usual stag night and The Gallery was exactly what we were looking for. The atmosphere is chilled and intimate but still lively enough for a group, with great music and plenty of craic with the owner and other customers. We went for a selection of tapas and one of the big grazing boards to share and there was more than enough food for even the biggest appetites. The organic wines and local beers went down a treat and the team paced everything perfectly so we could relax, chat and enjoy the night without ever feeling rushed. If you’re planning a stag in Westport and want seriously good food, proper wine and a unique local vibe, this is the place.”

“We had a joint hen and stag celebration in Westport and booked an evening at The Gallery for our whole group. From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel like old friends – the staff were warm, attentive and brilliant at looking after a crowd without ever being intrusive. The tapas format worked perfectly for a mixed group, with loads of vegetarian and vegan options alongside fish and cheese, and everything was fresh, creative and full of flavour. The wine list is superb, with organic and natural options you don’t see everywhere, and Tom helped us choose bottles to suit different tastes and budgets. It turned into one of those long, relaxed evenings where the conversation flows, the music is spot on and you feel like you’ve discovered a real local gem.”

“We booked The Gallery as a pre‑wedding get‑together for friends and family and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The room is intimate and candlelit, with a cool, bohemian feel that instantly puts everyone at ease. Platters kept arriving from the tiny kitchen – stuffed vine leaves, smoky aubergine, beautiful cheeses, local fish and colourful vegan bites – all clearly made with care from high‑quality, ethically sourced ingredients. The team were fantastic with dietary requirements and made sure glasses were topped up and everyone had what they needed without any fuss. So many of our guests commented that it was one of the most memorable parts of the weekend and that they’d come back to Westport just to eat and drink here again.”
