Maxwells is Galway’s oldest and longest serving restaurant. Built in 1866 it was originally a Whiskey, Fine Wine and Tobacco Importers as well as a Restaurant and owes its name to the original proprietors John F McNamara and his wife Elizabeth Maxwell.

Generations later its still a family run Restaurant now owned by the O’ Meara Family. Maxwells is located in the heart of Galway’s historic City Centre, adjacent to Eyre Square on the corner of Williamsgate and Eglinton Streets.
