Galllllllllllllllllllllllwayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

Tbh though, I stumbled into the GPO mistakenly one night and it was like Beirut!

For me it's Galway.

Serious amount of craic can be had down there, plus you don't pay Dublin prices nor have the amount of scum you do up here.

I've just heard people saying that its 'The Best', What would you say personally is the best club in Ireland?

have spent too much time in taxis travelling from one place to the next in dublin so kilkenny gets my vote

df1985 · 20-05-2008 04:36PM

galway galway galway.never had a bad night and ive a 100% scoring record there-very important! plus everyone down there is sound.

ive been to time a few times.for a person whos never been its does have the wow factor with its sheer size and the acrobat shows and all that, but after a few times you'll see its nothin special-you lose your mates all the time, cant find the jacks and queue forever to get your coat back.

I love the pubs in Galway, but the clubs there are rubbish. (Except Twirleys obviously.)

My favourite place in the whole of Ireland to go out is the Brog in Cork.

20-05-2008 06:19PM

Galway fo sho'! And Twirleys. On Shop Street. Man, the time's I've had in there. Best nights EVER.

Awesomo-4000 · 20-05-2008 06:22PM

Had good nights out in Limerick, Cork and Belfast but Galway is still the best by far!! Summer time in the spanish arch cant be beaten!

Pity the pints are sh*te and some of the staff are c*cks, but at the end of the night I generally find myself there.

Passion was (it's since closed, thank christ) without a shadow of a doubt one of the biggest sh*tholes I have ever been to in my life, had the misfortune of being brought there one bank holiday weekend. The place was way too big, in the middle of nowhere, even had the giant gold statues holding up globes(like the ones in Bevis and Butthead do America) and was full to the brim with every type of scum you could imagine.

Best place to go in Ireland is to get some friends, a few slabs, food and rent a cottage in the middle of nowhere, fun times!

Because the beer is colder the women are hotter and every job pays more.

galway ftw never been disappointed when iv gone out there and neither has anyone i know who has gone up there on the lash.

It is bafflingly popular, though I have two mates who wouldnt go back either. The weather is nearly always crap, and the journey to it takes you through some of the most derelict towns and desolate countryside in Ireland. I just find something very artificial and cheesy about the way they try to portray themselves as some sort of beacon of culture and bohemianism and whatnot. And the cost?!!? Paying 50 euro for a train out when for roundabouts the same price you can go to Liverpool, Newcastle or Glasgow yet make a saving in these cities on drink, accomadation, proper nightclubs and easier women.

QueenB · 21-05-2008 01:15AM

galway for sure, gpo and cuba are great spots specially around race week

trinnity rooms in limerick is very good aswell.. but i wouldnt go there for *just* that like..

uskidsgo · 21-05-2008 01:32AM

Went to Galway few days after my 18th a few months back - very, very messy nights. Got thrown out of Roisin Dubhs for generel inebriation, by some divine miracle got into CP/CPs? for free and in my ridiculously drunken state was highly impressed by the big flashing wall thingy they have there. Can't remember much about Galway at night but it was good for as much as I can remember. It's a great city to wander about hungover though, nice cafés, a few good shops and Ayre Square to sit down and relax when you feel like your legs can't take much more standing:D

rossie1977 · 21-05-2008 01:38AM

yeah weather is crap all over ireland full-stop

don't go to west donegal or achill so if you think westmeath and kildare are desolate

galway has ever right to portray itself as a beacon of culture and bohemianism, it doesn't have english landmarks at every turn

It has an identity all of its own, thats why world travellers rank it so highly, 14th best place to visit in Europe and 42nd overall on planet earth on tripadvisor (a website with over 15 million traveller reviews); glasgow, liverpool or newcastle didn't make the list funnily enough http://cdn.tripadvisor.com/pdfs/tca/TCDestinationsAwards2008-v2.pdf

Dublin is easily the best place in Ireland to go on the lash. Nowhere else has the range you can get in Dublin.

In Galway, the pubs are great but the clubs are rubbish.

In Cork, better clubs than Galway, better live music, worse pubs than Galway.

Limerick, has some decent pubs but not as many Galway or Cork, better nightclubs than Galway, worse clubs than Cork.

Everywhere else, depends who you are with.

So name me a 5 bar pub crawl in Galway that is damn good. I ask because I might go there during July to take drink and would like to be in the know.

Thank you sir. I shall investigate those hostelries and imbibe therein with aplomb.

Bierhaus? Sounds like the sort of place that would sell me an Erdinger or Franziskaner, no?

They would have the largest selection of alcohol of any of the pubs in Galway.Good fun there.I would start off there and make the way back to Eyre Square.After Cuba/Bar 903-the legendary vivo roll.

Any boardsies go out in Belfast? Absolutely immense night life up here, the best Ive had tbh.

Well Archimedes, I live in Belfast and drink here regularly. What would be your perfect night out in Belfast? Tell me yours and I'll tell you mine.

Night life is certainly good but I am not sure it would compare favourably with Dublin. Not been out in the lash in Galway or Cork but have got full in Killarney a few times. Twas good!!

Dellboy2007 · 21-05-2008 07:17PM

Galway or Claremorris (joke! never ever go there)

DD · 21-05-2008 08:30PM

I have never seen so many drunk people in one single place ... till I went to Galway.

Bard · 21-05-2008 09:07PM

Another vote for Galway here... I've never had a bad night out there and I don't expect to ever have one. I want to move there

Should have made this a poll, but something tells me it'd be a wee bit one-sided!

congo_90 · 21-05-2008 11:12PM

Dunboyne

on a more serious note: i heard great things about both galway and cork. road trip is already planned to both of these this summer with a few friends.
