    God that Stock Exchange bar opening up sounds terrible, would of done well when Sex and the City was still on Television, doubt it will now, multilevel bars sounds tiring as well with many stairs. Still, it will hopefully make town more busy so I wish it well

    Where is that Stock Exchange (wow great name, really exploits the current popularity of the finance sector) place opening up? Where that Blu place was before? Dignity?

    "A brand new group of late bars are to open in Galway on July 19th. Multi-level bars catering to different crowds, The Stock Exchange is the ideal after-work lounge bar for professionals to let their hair down after a day in the office. The Manhattan Lounge is a dream come true for the sophisticated ‘Sex and the City’ crowd seeking wine and cocktails after a few hours of major shopping sprees. The entire space is dotted with large scale iconic images of New York City (perfect for photo opportunities), including the Empire State Building, The Statue of Liberty, bustling Times Square and of course, Wall Street."

    From their Facebook Page

    The really are trying to make it sound like a classy place full of young, attractive go getters who discuss the current economical situation over a few cosmopolitans when in fact this is going to be a place place where women drink till they collapse in a heap on the floor, tears stream down theur make up smudged face as they desperately try to remove the dried, caked in vomit from their hair and call their best friend a slut because she looked at some drunk bloke who they'd claimed as their own. Its going to be a place to grab a quick shag with some bloke you just met whose so drunk that he'll vomit on you before passing out. All in all a classy drinking establishment just like Coyotes and every other club in Galway.

    I would much rather the clubs we have in Galway currently to being plagued with trendy cocktail bars rammed with insufferable yuppie tosspots.

    My point is that this new club is going to be exactly the same as the clubs already here.

    Good, they're decent craic and much better than the concept put forward in the pitch for this new place.

    Not an new opening as such, but O'Farrells filling station opposite the spinnaker has rebranded as an Inver outlet. They were formerly an emo station I think.

    IIRC Blu was beside Garavans (not something I pay attention to anymore).

    Church Lane was the postgrad haunt for a while, which probably explains why the studentiness was required.

    From The Galway Independent, for fans of Tapas in Galway:
    The Galway Independent wrote:
    The restaurant will reopen in early September under the name Cava Bodega.

    The new incarnation will be located on Middle Street, opposite Charlie Byrne's Bookshop, in the site previously occupied by Mustard. The new premises has been vacant for a prolonged period, with extensive renovations for the new Cava Bodega restaurant currently being undertaken.

    Ace Printers (next door to Sally Longs) seems to have closed recently, only reason I noticed is they have a "Let By" sign in the window, and they seem to be gutting out the unit. Don't know what's going in there though.

    That's a big unit and has been empty (apart from the temporary art gallery or CSI) for many years now.

    Not sure if this streetview link will work
