Party venue

Where is the best spot for a private function that isn't too big?

biko

It depends on the type of function I'd say.
Birthday? Wedding afters?
Will you need alcohol served? Food? Parking? Handicap access?
City centre? Outskirts?
Music provided?

The more you can tell us the easier it is to help find a place.

Be a bit more specific with your requirements, number of people, food required, dj etc. Is it work or friends and what vibe.. There's loads of places in galway, so being specific will narrow the search for you.

City centre preferable, even outskirts consider.

It's for a birthday, prob 60ish people. Bar needed :-) if they can do food even better but can get outside caters.

Parking not essential at all.

Skeff has areas big enough, would do food. Fibber's upstairs, ah, depending on the night the cellar worth a shout. O connells out back, weather would be a gamble though!. New place, stock exchange on shop street could worth an inquiry. Oh and kellys, they are all basically city centre..

DeBurgeos, perfect size for your group, and you get free security and bar staff when you book it (it's the Garda social clubs bar so the barman is a garda, no security needed ).

Lovely spot for a private party.

+1 for De Burgos.
I booked with them before. They can provide food if needed, let you bring in your own if needed. They were even grand with a karaoke set up.

I don't think I can ever go back there after that last version of enter sandman.

Yeah I was thinking about the Garda club, is it too quiet of a spot thou? also monroes or the new stock exchange. Just haven't been to too many private functions to know where was good.

There's another in upstairs Pucan, like a small disco.
I've been for parties there, good craic and bar in the disco. I'd said we were between 50 and 100 over the night and it didn't feel empty.
Not sure about food etc. There was a dj but don't know who provided him.

The Rowing Club in woodquay is perfect also.

60 bottles of bucky, spanish arch for the night.

What age, tastes in music and (for want of a better word) degree of classiness?

I have friends who wouldn't be seen dead in some places in town ... a lot comes down to how stylish you need for the audience.

Try McHugh's on the Tuam road, across from the Corinthians Rugby club. Great spot with kitchen and great outdoor bbq area.

Like Mrs OBumble says need age group 21st, 30th or 60th. House hotel is another id recommend. Spanish arch +1. for outside drinks O Connells
