Tried Kelly's for the first time last night and really enjoyed it. Expected it to be awful from what I read here! Biggest surprise was....

Pint of Guinness: €3.90

... and it was good stuff too! Snugs are great for a group!

I do have 2 complaints tho - the place still smells of paint and varnish and the bouncer was very rude. We first went to a table that was empty apart from 1 empty glass. Bouncer standing beside it said they're gone for a smoke so we can't sit there. Total bs, not even a jacket there. Must have been saving it for some mates or something. same guy was always rude in the living room days too. Anyway just dismissed him and had good night.

It is a pub that used to be something, has now tried to be something else and just hasn't pulled it off.

agree with kelly's still smelling of paint, its pretty bad.
That said, at least their heineken is good now, twas pure muck when it was the living room.

I was in Kelly's on thursday night and while I agree about the smell of paint, I think that comes with the territory what with it being a new pub and all, it beats the smell in the old place anyway.

Myself and a few of the lads were drinking Guinness and we agreed that it was one of the nicest pints around.

I fell in love with one of the girls behind the bar.

Good night all in all

Not too pushed about the upstairs part in it tbh but I have to say I like the place overall.

I hear that a lot

Crane, Guinness 4.00

Fek it, €3.70, €3.90 and €4 is still dear for a pint of guinness in the current climate. If they pulled it back to €3 then that might be a gesture on the part of the pubs who have ripped us off for years and got away with it. I have no sympathy for them if their trade is down because they stubbonly refuse to reduce the price of the pint when most other things are coming down.

manwith3butocks

I don't drink, but my mates do, and a pint of Guinness was 4.25 in the Quays pub! Poor tourists are getting a raw deal!

Was down in Kerry recently on holiday and got a nice surprise in Tralee when receiving 2 euros change from a tenner after purchasing two pints of Carlsberg. And they were good pints too.
Was a decent pub as well, well kept and clean, lots of big screens for sport etc etc. Makes you think.

Pick up the Galway City Tribune today and all the work is done for you there and then.

They've an exclusive survey done on a round of drinks in over 100 different bars in Galway city & suburbs.

Interestingly there's a difference of more than €8 depending on where you go.

It's a very good read, I highly recommend it:)

toiletduck

I know Auld Lads who will do more statistical analysis on the published results there than the Census Bureau. Interesting reading though.

Jugs82

Bought the tribune earlier - Old Forge anybody

The prices of everything varies so much but I was shocked at the differences for Pint Bottles of Cider - cheapest at 4.35 and dearest at 6.20

Hopefully this might spur a few places on to lower prices

That building has 'the curse' tbh - nothing seems to last long there. Still though, i'll pop in for a look at the place next time i'm passing by

Euro_Kraut

Where is this new 'the Oslo' you kids keep going on about? Wasn't any 'the Oslo' in my day (last year)!

dec25532

There isn't.

skelliser

its a really big venue out the back and you can see into the microbrewery with all the vats but it lacked character, it seemed like a cross between a restaurant and a bar, like the furniture was just common kitchen type tables and chairs.
What annoyed me was that after 12.30 i could see people where still being served so i went up to get a pint, i asked for a pint, sorry not serving any more draught you can have bottles! then i looked at the price of a bottles of beer, cheapest was 5.50! no dice
