Ordered coffees and cheesecakes in July 2020; Shocked at the bill showing cheesecakes priced at €8.50 (they arrived 20 minutes after the coffees). Prices like this give the hospitality industry in Ireland a bad name.
There was no price display for the dessert menu otherwise I would have passed on it.

Me and my partner visited this bar last night for our last night in Galway as we were on a mini staycation and are from Northern Ireland. Credit where credits due the first waitress we got was lovely, really attentive and bubbly (we didn’t catch her name). Now on to the lovely Steff (not) my partner drinks two single vodka with a coke for mix between the two drinks and for whatever reason this really annoyed Steff (none of her business really) she refused to give my partner the drink and said “you’re getting a double” after he explained (nicely) that he prefers two singles and it hadn’t been an issue with the first waitress Steff got even more patronising and said “two drinks for one person? It’s my job to make sure people are handling there drink” which completely baffled us as she had just offered a double which was the same thing. She then accused my partner of not being able to handle his drink when she was challenged and refused to serve him two single vodkas at the age of 26 (he was also stone cold sober) She got the manager to come down and immediately he said I’m sorry about her I know what she can be like? The manager continued to brush it off and after speaking to the couple beside us who were just as shocked at how ignorant Steff was we decided to make a formal complaint. We explained how condescending / passive aggressive she was towards us in which he replied “I’m sorry my hands are tied with her, come down tomorrow for a drink she’s not in” in which we replied “no thanks!” Obviously :). Thanks for ruining our last night in Galway Steff - if you dislike your job that much I think it’s time for early retirement.

We had the best time ever in neachtains. Drinks arrived fast and to a high standard. Our server Eve was exceptional. She was so accommodating to our awkward requests and friendly and made our experience 10/10.. All covid restrictions were adhered too which we really appreciated. She is a real asset to the business :)

Won't be coming back in a hurry having heard so much about this pub, arriving freshly off the train we headed to sample a nice afternoon pint. A Group of 6 of us ranging in age from 25 - 60 were met at the door and told it was policy not to allow entry to stag or hen dos. The bar man refused to serve us (and not in a nice way) ...
I thought I was 18 again :) at least we could say we were thrown out of 1 pub in Galway
If this is your policy to be prejudicial at least have the decency to let everyone know what kind of pub you are and stick a sign outside saying that you do not allow access to groups of same sex people out to have a bit of craic.
Not to worry there is a bar very close by - The Salt House Bar with a nice big open fire very welcoming and exactly what I would expect from Galway. Shame on you Naughtons (and your rude staff) it is not typical of the welcome we received anywhere else we visited for the weekend.

I am a bit shocked writing this really - we are a couple in our late 50s and after a wonderful meal at Oscar's Seafood Bistro (highly recommended by the way) we decided to have a nightcap at Naughten's before retiring to our nearby hotel - the young barman decided that "we had had enough to drink already" - I can honestly say I have never in my life been treated like this in a bar before. This pub is suffering from an over confidence in their popularity where basic customer service has been cast aside. Don't go here!!!

Had a great time here on our visit to Galway.
Went for lunch the first time, fabulous Chowder & realised they had a Restaurant upstairs .. The Kasbah, dinner was amazing. Best meal we had in Ireland.
I think the best part was meeting the locals. That’s what we really love when we travel
Great friendly staff, we felt like old friends by the end of our visit.

Fantastic character pub. The inside is amazing like a trip into the past, unspoiled interior.
Good friendly service, with a sunny drinks area outside. A must visit if youre in the city.

Nice pub. Rude staff. Noticed there was a table reserved. Odd in a busy pub. Was asked to move twice in an unfriendly way. Used to be a great spot. Won't be returning any time soon.

Any pub that refuses to set up 7 pints of stout (to sober, middle aged men) at midday on a Saturday, because they "don't do groups," does not deserve the custom.
If you're a lonely sort of person, then Neachtain's sounds great, just don't make the mistake of making any friends while you're in there.
