The most sophisticated club/bar in Galway?

softmee

Hi all. I've moved to this charming town recently and only know the most popular places to go out. I am eager to find those hidden gems (if any are to find here :rolleyes:) with good music, interesting people.
Just sophisticated bar for people over 25 (no screaming teenagers please!:D) with good music, good atmosphere and lots of single man who you can talk to and dont want to run away!

Stranos is a gay bar that has been closed quite a while. Seeing as you didn't request a gay bar, I rolled my eyes

Bar 8 on the Docks is nice, food, music sometimes, and off the beaten track.

Massimo is good and has good music, but can get a bit mental (and fun) for late bar hours.

Cottage in Salthill is good for a meet-up too.

+1 on the Stage Door.

I was in Massimo once -not bad, but nothing special!

Joke right?

Jesus The Skeff do student specials. Don't go there.

The Bierhaus and The Salthouse if you like foreign beer. Students don't go there because it's too expensive and they would rather have drink specials. They tend to get great people. I would also recommend The Blue Note and The Front Door.

LOL Thanks

What exactly are you looking for? Do you mean sophisticated as in clientèle or the pub itself?

Indeed good sir, why I left my monocle beside the 'music player' on the eve of Friday, I am a foolish old chap.

If perchance you also spy my top hat, please have your driver deliver it to my estate.

You cant go wrong with a few sophisticated beverages in the hole in the wall, followed by a dance and jive in the GPO.

-all together, but it usually works this way that people and good music make place. Surrounding and ambience are importent too, but i know places with very simple interiors which were just great..

For sophisticated bars, try New York or London.
