Singles bars

evoke

Hey guys,
I was wondering what are the places in galway where it is known to have mostly single people.

thanks

snubbleste

I also want to know the answer to this

The Front Door

The Front Door

Never thought of the front door as a singles bar. I must see the next night.

westerlywonder

the dail, definitely, the average age would be above 22 at the weekend but certainly it has a younger singles crowd than that of the front door, or buskers.
Its my new hunting spot anyway!

evoke

Out of interest. Are you having much luck. I know it is not the original thread discussion and maybe a bit personnel.

I always want to go to buskers but the gang i hang around with thinks it is for snob. they probably think the dail is as well.

need to get new friends.

westerlywonder

lol, i think i might have the same opinion as your friends regards Buskers i hate the place! And i'd like to think i'm still a bit young for in there too!!
Nothing personal about it, i've had success in the dail for sure, and have no problem admitting it.

evoke

yes that is exactly why they hate it. older and more professional people go there. i am sure the people are ok in there. will have to convince them to go in there.

Must check it out

We, the Galweigans of Boards should appoint a singles bar. There's probably enough of us on here for it anyway. I say we invade an old man pub and they won't know what hit them

I grudgingly accept. Only because It will be fun to write it.

That thread was moved to FlirTar as that forum is dedicated to threads like that.

Had a mighty laugh at that.

there is no need for a singles tread. all that will turn in to is a dating thread. maybe just have this thread to point out where people can meet other singles. like i know now the dáil seems like the place to be and buskars maybe.

you meet people by getting out there. not by being on a forums starting a singles thread in the hope of getting a date.

Also can we keep this thread to the point of single bar. Just incase we go off the topic and moderator shuts it down.

I believe that the Spanish Arch is now attracting a younger crowd than previously; mid twenties upwards apparently. I'm not in a position to be going on the pull anymore but it might be worth a look??

Random conversation with a taxi driver on the way home one night led to the following gem:

"No women tonight lads? Ye're looking in the wrong places, head down there to the Spanish Arch Hotel and find a woman, they've a few miles on the clock but are still mad for road if ye get me"

We sat there in awkward silence for a few seconds before roaring laughing.

Yea, it had a rep like that for years, but apparently the crowd there is younger now. I know a good few people not 'grab a granny' inclined who go there a fair bit now:)

Anyone know what the Kings Head is like for meeting women? I heard the Spanish Arch is the place to meet older women. I want to give it a try but I find the music there is way too loud on sat nights.

the spanish arch hotel?? whats it like sunday evenings?

ps, fairly funny thread

Ah wasn't the internet supposed to make all stuff easier ?

We need a Galway boards.ie chatroom. Meet bored singles from the comfort of your favourite chair ,listening to your favourite music at whatever volume you desire.

Hamhide

A chatroom might take the fun out of drinking and having craic at a bar. Still its a good idea

_Whimsical_

Yeah, it'd be more a week nights when no ones going out thing I'd say. It could pass a few hours here and there. It'd be a kindda easy way to meet people with no real commitment involved unless you got on and wanted it to be otherwise.
Mind you, an exclusively singles chatroom would possibly be awkward. It would be better as a general chat thing.

It needs to be exclusively for singles. Nothing worse than an hour of chat ending with her saying how much she loves her boyfriend.

I dunno, aren't new friends good too? You can meet new people through new friends.
Or am I being too much of a girl about it?

I think a solely singles thing might be a bit intimidating. I prefer get to know people more casually, see if I like them and then let serendipity step in from there.

I dunno, just an idea I suppose. It's a pity boards doesn't have some online social aspect. Sometimes I read peoples posts and think "they sound nice/interesting/whatever" , sometimes it'd be interesting to chat to people like on fb chat etc.

go in to any bar early and you will be single

Would you not be a bit peeded off if after spending your night chatting someone up that Serendipity stepped in and stole her/him off you?

Joking aside I do kinda agree with you though.

Anyone remember The Tavern Singles Bar?

Quite likely :-)

I can see that people might view going to a singles bar as a bit intimidating especially in Ireland.

There is still the going out alone stigma.

Hamhide

Going out alone is fine but you wont be there for the social aspect of it. whenever I went out alone it was to meet other people and not hang out with my friends

lol I bet that's going to happen to me now. My love life will be ruined by someone called Serendipity.

I wouldn't be too bothered though if I found someone had a girlfriend in that situation. Particularly not if it was online, but even out in a social setting I wouldn't be overly invested after just a chat.

Hamhide

I think Serendipity is a nice name

I think there is a general Boards Facebook page. Then it's a case of playing match the Facebook Profile with the Boardsie.

Maybe we should set up a Galway Boardsies Facebook Page.

Oh! Btw, if anyone's interested in a Single's Night in Galway; -
Mon: Feb. 10th @ The Skeff Bar @ 7.30pm ages 26 - 38,
&
Thurs: March 20th @ The Skeff Bar @ 7.30pm, ages 26 - 38.

Definitely will go to a Single's Night sometime, weekdays not great though, Friday or Saturday better.


Have to say, last few times I've been out lately, I felt the crowd out was younger, I don't know somewhere in the 20s range - mid-20s. Was kind-of off-putting. I don't know where people in their 30s and 40s go to......

I r going to Boards-Beers in Cork soon hopefully! Ye should go too!! :pac:

Heard the house hotel is a good place for singles. Unreal women there on sat nights. Only problem is there is usually at least one if not more hen party's in the place.
