    I will be landing back in town at 7 on Chrismo eve, and I think a lot of pubs in town will be closed or 'locked in' after 6...

    This is the first Christmas eve in Galway in AGES (apart from last year in a hotel), so I am not sure what keeps regular hours on 24th.
    I would love to pop somewhere for a drink en route home in town (I am guessing mellow is out of the question, but that would be nice:rolleyes:).

    Any ideas for town?..I am usually a Neachtains regular, so something along those lines. Westside grand too:p

    I'm only going for 1 or 2 pints this XMas eve, i'm sick of being hungover on XMas morning (and have to be up early for the swim :eek:) - I dare people to break the Irish tradition of being stuck in a pub all evening. Instead have a pint or two, and have a stroll around town with your friends/OH

    Actually on 2nd thoughts don't, the whole reason I like doing that is the calmness on the streets... They're empty, usually foggy.... so eerie and chilled out - I love it!

    I love my Christmas Eve drinks in town. Everywhere around Quay Street has a tendancy to close at 5:30 - 6:00 ish. O'Flaherty's in Salthill was open til about 9 a few years back.

    In my little village they used to stay open until the local priest started giving out about people showing up drunk to mass :rolleyes:

    Yeah, I am not going on a mad one at all, I may not even drink *booze* :)

    I am just getting into town from travelling around 7, so would really like to stop off in town and meet a mate or 2.

    The hungover on Christmas Morn thing does not sound appealing any more.. I have a far distant memory of wrapping paper on the floor or An Tobar many years ago ;)

    Wards is great, and yea, forgot about PJs.

    Anyone know about the Crane or stuff that end?

    What about Stage Door :D
