    All pubs are closed and craic is cancelled. So is live music.

    There are restaurants which may have a table for you.

    Try Sliders in Quay Street, or the Stock Exchange in Shop St.

    I wouldnt go to the places mentioned above as for me they reek of of tackyness.

    Id go taylors, carrolls, O connels


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,301 ✭✭✭gordongekko


    I don't know if it's a group of 20 or girls in their 20's . Music is stopped most places due to covid but most pubs are open. If you are in your 20's the super pubs are open


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,450 ✭✭✭JoeA3


    The Front Door or the Dail bar are probably what you're looking for.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,671 ✭✭✭StevenToast


    Theres this thing called coronavirus going around...maybe check that out...

    Most pubs in the city are back open and will serve you a plate of something with your pints.

    The Dail is booked out, but good call.

    Thanks for that, doesn't mean you have to crawl under a rock and hide.
    Take the usual precautions we've been doing for the last few months and it will be safe enough, life goes on.

    Just a group of 4 girls down for the weekend, first time in Galway. Not looking to go on the lash, more a few drinks and a bite in a nice fun place.

    Pre Covid, Carrols was definitely accordions. Taylors too, sometimes.

    Very few 20-something places around, really.

    Caprice is gorgeous for a girl's dinner and drinks, been there loads with friends. Definitely call to book ahead but I really recommend it. Dela or 56 Central are good too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,261 ✭✭✭✭ben.schlomo


    Handsome Burger, Caribou, Seven, Buddha Bar/Asian Tea House (assuming it's open), Dough Bros.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,275 ✭✭✭Your Face

    You could always head out to Clifden


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,450 ✭✭✭JoeA3

    Is that the place over Easons that changes its name every month?

    Doh, hate when you miss one like that. Another fine mess.

    The girls hit Hyde and 1520 and sampled An Pucán and McGettigan's during the day, no complaints so far.

    They must have been very hungry.

    Fine girls lol. Nah there on their 3rd day today, but yeah they know how to spend money alright.
    The food thing in pubs is probably like Dublin, buy a portion of chicken wings and chips and your sorted, leave half behind, off to the next spot.
    Between 4 it doesn't break the bank. Haven't heard how things are being policed in Galway yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 145 ✭✭LostDuck


    Lovely. How long more are they around? So the rest of us know to keep a wide berth.

    They had a good time, if a bit quite. Decided to leave a day early as something came up back home.

    Hyde, Seven (Not the food), and Pucán get a nod, so thanks for the tips.

    Ok Duckie, safe to come out now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    They're very welcome back to visit once the covid is gone.

    Phew.

    Presumably this is the same group of girls in their 20s from Dublin that did the round of the Cork City pubs a few weeks ago.

    I hope they heed the advice today that "it is now really important that people in Dublin keep their social contacts as low as possible" (Dr Ronan Glynn).

    Am I understanding this correctly? In Dublin a group of 4 can order one portion of wings and chips along with drinks for all 4?

    Yes same group, not going out of the country, staying home this year.
    One of the group works in a Dublin Hospital and they are all front line in one way or another.

    Dublin numbers were crap today.

    Being a front line worker then they should know better, for a few weeks we have been asked to keep our contacts low. Going on a pub crawl during a pandemic in multiple cities is idiotic to say the least. Tell them to grow up and have some cop on.

    These are the people that are making it hard for other pubs to open and keeping people out of jobs.

    Perhaps the high number of cases in Dublin has something to do with the dodgy behaviour outlined in your first comment above?

    Cork man invading the thread sorry lads and ladies.

    Heading to Galway for the first weekend when the euros is on.

    Any recommended pubs with outdoor areas with seating that will show the football?

    Thanks in advance.

    Pucan be your best shout for watching the Euros outside, problem is it books up real fast and most likely be two hours or less time slots.

    Just remembered murty rabbits down past pucan has good outdoor screen as well. Watched a few games there when they were last open outside. Be same craic tho with booking time slots

    Why do you think it will be 2 hour time slots? I would have thought that will be gone.

    I imagine most places serving food will have some sort of time slot,there's no legal requirement or not Covid related but if there is massive demand they will want people having food and scoops then out the door,rather than just sipping pints,rinse and repeat.The have to maximise the space.

    No I mean find your own seating/standing spot.

    Like the last time restrictions were lifted, Galway seems to be one of the main spots people are flocking to. Could be good for businesses but risky for the rest of us. Hopefully if Galway spikes again, it'll just be a concentrated lockdown here and we won't be dragging everyone else down with us.

    Leo was on RTE News and said this time around there will be no time restrictions as to how long you can stay in a Restaurant or Pub when they open there will also be no need to purchase a meal.

    As it's Ireland, if the same group stays put, chances are it will be more efficient to let them stay and keep drinking. Of course there may be the odd group sitting over a pint, but they will be the minority I'd say. They would be more likely to sit over chips tbh. Lots of places seem to be saying first come first served too.
