The Galway Tribes Irish Pub & Restaurant is a high-quality, authentic Irish eatery located in
Frankfort, Illinois. Our goal is to provide a very warm and cozy Irish atmosphere; wonderful
food, quality beverages and friendly service to our customers. We have chosen to recreate the
warm and charming atmosphere of a Gaelic pub. The far flung Gaelic tribes of Europe, widely
renowned for their love of music and song, for fine craftsmanship and fiery tempers, left a
legacy of merry-making in Ireland that remains undiminished to this day. Pubs in the Gaelic
tradition make extensive use of natural materials, allowing the intrinsic character and texture
of timber to speak for themselves. Hefty wooden bars and furniture, doors and beams are
usually rough-hewn... lights and other metal fixtures hand-wrought from blackened iron... walls
adorned with the distinctive decorative patterns and earthy colors unique to Gaelic art. Of
course no Gaelic pub would be complete without music. Instruments are always on hand in
case a 'session' breaks out without warning!
The Tribes' interior design elements - including the bar, millwork, fabrics, specialty art and
furniture are imported directly from Ireland and installed by Irish leprechauns, uhmm, I mean
"craftsmen".

Niall was born in Salt Hill, County Galway, Ireland.
After nearly 20 years in the hospitality business,
he and his wife Dorothy decided it was time to embark
upon their dream of owning and operating a high
quality restaurant & pub. Their dream has come to
fruition with the opening of The Galway Tribes where
they provide a warm and inviting restaurant for the
community and welcome all visitors.
