    Quick question, I haven't been in Galway for ages, Is O' Connells still open?

    I know it was closed at the time it was sold for charity, but I thought it had reopened.

    A gem of a pub.

    It's open again.

    The dispute over the will was settled in Vinny De Pauls favour and they flogged it on.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Has the pub been much altered? I presume the outdoor jacks is gone if there's a beer garden in place now:rolleyes:

    Used to have a Massive pint of Guinness alright, great bar staff and a handy selection on the back bar, a great spot to spend an afternoon watching the world go by

    It's still a after-work pub for the suits around the area. More students these days, guess it's down to the beer garden.

    I didn't think they had flogged it on ... I thought they opted to lease it
