Sometime in the 1860s, Michael Green is believed to have taken possession of the three-storey building that holds the pub that still bears his name, M. Green, above the door. It is situated facing the harbour and overlooking Galway Bay.

The date of Michael's death is not known, but he was succeeded by his son Martin Green who was licensee until he died in 1928. Martin's wife Belinda (nee Connolly) then ran the business until 1945, before passing it on to her son Michael Green three years before her death.

Following Michael's death in 1971, the pub was run by his widow Helena, who was licensee until 1994.

Since Helena's death, her daughter Mary has been licensee. She is proud of her licensing heritage. The pub's shopfront facade is original with the letters "M. Green" above the door referring both to Mary and her great-grandfather Michael Green.
