West Boards.ie Drinks - Massimos, Friday 21st

L.Jenkins

Hey there was a bit of chat in the AH forum about having drinks. I suggested having a Boards.ie in Galway some night during the summer. Anyone interested, open to any date or location if so. I suggest coyotes sometime in June/July to start off with.

I don't know Galway that well, I'm sure ye can think of better. Thats why I ask!

IMO, I'd stay away from that side of town, and clubs (unless your 18) and head to the late bars, where there's no pressure to be legging out to queue for a club)
..
But alas, I'll admit I am fussy and have preferences for the other side of town, so we'll leave it open

Any good spots or late bars so!

Sally Longs!! Love that place.

Sweet. A late bar and since I don't drink I could DJ.

All of what Tri said..
Blue Note
Bierhaus
Massimoes
Salthouse (altho not many seats)
Aras na Gael (could be fun...)
Some ould man pub but they don't have late bars...
O'connells

Anything opening late with a good beer garden. I'm sure that's another thing the masses will want if the weather is good.

I'd suggest starting somewhere quieter first then moving to somewhere else later.

I feel like a number of Galway drinks have been say Friday night in the bierhaus/blue note/etc. and the place is packed and folks who come in have no idea who the boardsies are. Then the thread the next day is a number of "I looked for ye but couldn't find you..." - or maybe these are just excuses

Granted, nowhere might be as crowded these days as it used to be...

Massimo is a cool spot. Beer garden in a late bar, can't think of any. This weather is class, how far away (date) is the event?

O'Connells is a good spot for a sunny day out in their beer garden, not a late bar though.

Bierhaus
Doisin
Massimo
Front Door
The Quays

Not that ye'd need to start in a place that's a late bar. +1 on what cafecolour said ^^^

what about the huntsman, the dail bar or the front door maybe?

I'd be for any of the above, although as we had the last one in the Salthouse we should try somewhere different. I don't think it has a beer garden either. I think our ultra brilliant ladies get together last week is inspiring great ideas !!

Dammit OP, ya beat me to it! was just discussing a beers with a friend last night!
I'd be up for something for sure, maybe sooner than June/July as I'm jealous of the Ladies having 2 organised in a little over a month!
Perhaps mid-May, 14th or 21st if Friday suits people? also Beer garden sounds good, was thinking of perhaps a Barbecue or would that be too much hassle to organise?:D

Well Beauty and brains ain't a problem! :pac:
Who has the power to set up one of those fancy polls?

Does sometime mid May sound good? Are we lookin for a weekend thing or mid-week thing?

Sounds like some good ideas, Barbeque and beer garden! Could nearly stick up a pole with some of the ideas and dates. The 21st of May would be good, I finish college exams around said date.

Gwan so.
I'll go with Massimo's.
The salt house was the last meet up and it was like drinking in a feckin sauna.
Feck off with yer night clubs.
And none of that cross street crap. Buskers, front door, Nauchtons, Dail bar.
Just no.
Bad boardsies.

The only thing is, I'd have to drive back to Athlone that night which isn't too bad seen as I don't have a place to stay!

Cheap hostel might save you the trouble mate. There are loads and you'll be so polluted it's only a bed you're after any how.

I'm always up for a good night out, but I don't drink and with the motorway all the way to Athlone, I won't have a problem driving home!

Later May would probably be best as a few could be tied up with exams.........i.e.(poor me:()

Sorry Lady P, just seeing your post now.....The weekend of the 21st would be good for me as exams are done by then
