We consider a realization of the Galilean conformal algebra (GCA) in two dimensional space-time on the AdS boundary of a particular three dimensional gravity theory, the so-called cosmological topologically massive gravity (CTMG), which includes the gravitational Chern-Simons term and the negative cosmological constant. The infinite dimensional GCA in two dimensions is obtained from the Virasoro algebra for the relativistic CFT by taking a scaling limit $t\to t$, $x\to\epsilon x$ with $\epsilon\to 0$. The parent relativistic CFT should have left and right central charges of order $\mathcal{O}(1/\epsilon)$ but opposite in sign in the limit $\epsilon\to 0$. On the other hand, by Brown-Henneaux's analysis the Virasoro algebra is realized on the boundary of AdS$_3$, but the left and right central charges are asymmetric only by the factor of the gravitational Chern-Simons coupling $1/\mu$. If $\mu$ behaves as of order $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon)$ under the corresponding limit, we have the GCA with non-trivial centers on AdS boundary of the bulk CTMG. Then we present a new entropy formula for the Galilean field theory from the bulk black hole entropy, which is a non-relativistic counterpart of the Cardy formula. It is also discussed whether it can be reproduced by the microstate counting.
