pretty-in-pink

Ok, I know I have a thread in events, but I don't know if many of ye read it, so apologies to the mods, you can delete this thread if you want.

Basically, we (in pban) are having our last public beers. We will be going to Galway in Nov, and need good pubs etc. It will also give us a chance to meet you guys, and add some of ye.

If you could go to the thread in events nad vote etc that would be great!

Fey!

Pban is a privvate forum, some people will get added, if me and the other mods agree. Yes, yu can all come to the Galway beers- it's your town, we will be guests. Once a date looks favorite, then we will be booking accom. Should be a few of us going.

Oh, Galway is a fairly easy-going forum, like the place itself. And I'm sure Karl or Paek wouldn't object to a helping hand, either.

pretty-in-pink

and we are recruiting in Galway

Anyone wishes to suggest something to be added, let me know and I'll pop it in. Can't see any way to make this map editable by public/group.

I have to say I hate the Blue note..It's a complete dump.
The tunes are pretty cool but it's horrible inside.

Bierhouse and Roisins are pretty cool around that area. If your a bunch of women then I guess Buskers or Front Door would be a good spot for yee..

Or if you like good beer and a good local vibe go to Naughtans or Dew Drop around the quay street area.

Most of the suggestions you will get on this forum will be:

Roisin Dubh
Blue Note
Massimos
Bier Haus

These are all pubs within 20 yards of each other in the Dominick St. Area (aka hippyville, galway).

While they are grand for a few pints and a laugh they're pretty much not where you want to be if you've only one night out in Galway (possible exception being Roisin Dubh).

Luckily for you they are all located on one side of the river (understandible given hippies aversion to water) so they can be avoided quite easily. If you are in Galway for one big night then you'll want to go to the cradle of civilization (Quay St./Cross St.)

Big Giant Massive Pubs (late bars):
Sonnys (The Front Door)
Busker Brownes
The Quays
The Kings Head
The Living Room
Bazaar - this ones a little smaller than the rest, and I'm not sure if it's a late bar

Try To Have A Pint In (For a little traditional Galway charm):
Freeneys
Taffes
Neachtains
Tig Oili (I can't spell Irish)

Clubs:
Halo - Mid 20's to Mid 30's (Chart music mixed with older pop such as the jackson 5 etc.) The movers & shakers wouldn't be caught dead anywhere else. Wear shoes and get dressed up
CP's/Karma - Mid teens to mid 20's (chart etc.) Kiddys discos if you like being groped and puked on, you'll love this! Wear shoes and put on your shortest miniskirt/tea towelest shirt
GPO/The Vic - Late teens to late 20's (oonce oonce oonce) bangin' choons for the masses, wear whatever you like and bring your best crack pipe.
Cuba/De Burgos - Late teens to late 20's (cuba), early 20's to mid 30's (de burgos) (indie/rock/pop). Cuba is the indie/emo kid heaven, De Burgos is the hipster club. Wear a scowl and your "I deny the b*stard christ" t-shirt and you'll fit right in (cuba), fish out your 1970s vintage adidas and hornrimmed glasses to pass for a local (de burgos).

My personal reccommendation would be a pint or two in Freeneys, follwed by a few in The Front Door and Buskers, then either go to Halo (be in the queue at 11:30) or stay in Buskers for the night, possibly moving down to the living room at about 1:00 if you're bored. This should give you a pretty good generic weekend in Galway night out!

Hope this helps,
Buckie

you also have to drink a six pack of bavaria down by the spanish arch.

Yup that's sounds like a plan I'd agree with too...maybe include the Dew Drop for one on your way to Halo.

Fey!

If you contact Halo, you might be able to arrange a couple of private tables there for yourselves. They seat 10 to a table, but have to be pre-booked. It also means that you'd have to be definite that you're going there.

pretty-in-pink

Ok guys, would you go to Halo? That sounds good, booking tables like. pm me!

If its a group of more than 10 then the best way to go clubbing in Galway is definitely to book a table in halos. You don't have to stay at it but its a nice base for the group for the night.

Things seem to have gone a bit quiet on this...

This is supposed to be happening on the 10th of November.

But I'm definitely still up for it as I've already rearranged my work schedule to be there. Pretty-in-Pink has also said she'll still be going along.

So... how about as previously suggested Freeny's at 8 and then on to Halo at 11.30?
