Opened in 1998, Galway Bay has become a well-known Annapolis tradition, built on fine Irish Hospitality.


As Irish Catholics, Ireland has a special place in both of our familys roots. 1 hour into the meeting, Conrey helped Colleen book her plane ticket to study abroad at Trinity College in Dublin. In 2022 we traveled to Dublin to watch John and the Midshipmen play Notre Dame. No weekend in Annapolis is complete without a Guinness from Galway Bay. We will see you there!

Middleton Tavern was host to a galaxy of the nation's most revered leaders during the period following the American Revolution. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin were numbered among their prominent patrons.

The Tavern was frequented by members of the Continental Congress meeting in the State House on such historic occasions as the resignation of General Washington's commission, on December 23, 1783, the ratification of the Treaty of Paris ending the Revolutionary War in January 1784, and the Annapolis Convention which laid the groundwork for the Federal Constitution Convention held the following year in Philadelphia.

The area McGarvey's Saloon and Oyster Bar occupies has a connection to Annapolis' maritime legacy for over 300 years.

McGarvey's Saloon and Oyster Bar was conceived by Air Force Captain Michael Ashford (Retired) in the summer of 1974. Capt. Ashford instituted many of the reasons we love McGarvey's so much from: the turn-of the century décor, to their fresh selection on the raw bar menu, and the large ficus growing out of the floor of the Oyster Bar. They offer dozens of craft beers plus a raw bar, pub-fare menu, and on Wednesdays "Big Beers".
