    It depends on you what "the best pub in galway" is.

    Meeting people from around the world + alternative rock music: Roisin Dubh
    Hippies and Irish: Arus Na Gael
    Mainstream: Kings Head
    Very pubbish atmosphere: O'Connors
    Chill Out Music: Blue Note

    You won't get an answer to that question OP, you should read the answers as if you asked, what are the galway boardsies personal favourite pubs?

    For the record though, the objective and correct answer is Neachtains

    I'm quite liking Foxes lately.

    Maybe its the €5 cocktails and €6.50 Red Bull thats clouding my judgement though.

    If you're a student, I'd say Hole In The Wall. I don't really like it that much, in fact its a bit shite as pubs go, but theres a good atmosphere with crowd in there and of course the real attraction; €2.50 pints of Tennants :P

    Well if you ask me.........
    Mixers is a kip! Foxes is alright but the GUFC crowd arn't really my scene. The roisin is a little too pretentious for my liking. I loved the hole in the wall when I was in first year but no so much anymore, its a bit young in there for me at this stage. The kings head is nice but the bouncers are arse's and they dont take kindly to students who just want sit in there all day drinking pitchers of fosters. The bier house have a sign up behind the bar that says no singing!? My favorite pub in Galway is Bar 903. The music is always good you'll always end up chatting to a randomer! 903 FTW!!

    The Galway United crowd abondoned ship and now hang out in Febber MaGees.

    I go to a lot of Galway United games and enjoy them a lot but nothing could drag me to Fibbers.

    Blue Note, Bar903, Bier House, Maximos, Kings Head get my vote. I don't like the Roisin anymore, full of muppets half the time.

    Mixers has to be the worst pub I'd say. The music is at club level making it impossible to hear anyone. Thats probably a good thing because its full of knackers and the pints are vomit.

    O'Connells gets my vote too

    Skeff: Like it but its always packed
    Kings head: Like it, but as mentioned above in another post, some of the bouncers can be arseholes.
    Roisin: Lovely pub, but something about the place I don't like :confused:
    903: Used to love the place but the drink is terrible
    Sallys: used to be a regular but the place is just so depressing, fair amount of scummy regulars
    Mixers: lol, 'nuff said

    If I just feel like a pint: Roisin. Beer garden and the bar are great for meeting people.


    When I feel like randomly chatting to some hippie, I go to Arus Na Gael.
    Sitting in the alcove on the right outside the pub itself is a fantastic place for meeting unhinged people. Just don't touch the ginger door. Notorious place for pissing.
