The Oystercatcher Bar

The Oystercatcher is the social heart of The Hawthorn, where warm oak textures and soft lighting complement breathtaking views over Galway Bay. Overseen by Chef Takashi Miyazaki, who previously held a Michelin star at Ichigo Ichie in Cork, the culinary offering celebrates Japanese techniques and Ireland’s remarkable natural larder, perfectly complementing on signature cocktails inspired by nature, an extensive sake collection, and premium Irish and international spirits – crafted to delight both enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

Atmosphere is as vital as flavour here, making The Oystercatcher the perfect setting to see and be seen, with drinks created using the most sophisticated mixology techniques, including fermentation and distillation, in our own laboratory.
