- CCraigChicago / Illinois •5 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoI’ve always said that the mark of a fine restaurant is whether or not they have meatloaf on the menu. And this one did.

- SSuzanneWisconsin •3 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 6, 2025Lively, cozy atmosphere. Nice deck off the back with a beautiful view. Staff was very friendly. The food was delicious. We had poutine, fried chicken, and fish and chips. Very healthy portions - we had to take 1/2 home. After dinner we moved closer to the stage and listened to the entertainment (which also, was very good). Would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Galena and definitely would go back ourselves.More infoFrank O'Dowd's Irish Pub and GrillPrice: Moderate• Irish• Galena•4.7
