Hughes Bar

The maroon and white army is ascending on Croke Park 🌟

To everyone making the journey — safe travels and a mighty day out. For those that can’t get up, Hughes is open from 14.00, so come in and watch it with us. There’ll be a BBQ on the go too, so you won’t go hungry.

And how can you add to perfection? To the mighty Coleman brothers, true stalwarts of Galway GAA — there’s never been an All-Ireland final Galway were in that they didn’t turn out a Galway-themed vehicle. So in true Hughes style, we added a few more speakers.

Thanks a million for calling.

C’mon the Tribe — Galway Abú! 🔴⚪
