Sheridans Cheesemongers wine bar on Churchyard Street Galway opens Thursday to Saturday above the cheese shop; a 50-bin natural list with boards of Gubbeen.
Why locals love it: Tourists shop the cheese counter downstairs and leave; the stairs to the wine bar above are unmarked and known only to regulars.
Tip: Go upstairs after 16:00 on a weekday; the Ardrahan board with Grower Champagne is the right pairing.
Ruibin ★ 4.4
Ruibin on Dock Road overlooks Galway's harbour away from the tourist core; a relaxed bar-restaurant with seasonal small plates and natural wines.
Why locals love it: Set on the working docklands away from the Latin Quarter crush; visitors rarely cross the river to the harbour, so the natural-wine list stays a local secret.
Tip: Come on a Wednesday evening for the quietest service; the natural-wine flight alongside the day's small plates is the order.
