    The G Hotel is the place to go, but it's not cheap and a real luxury!! It is her birthday after all.

    Been there before and found it had a terrible atmosphere on both occasions even though it was the weekend.
    Cocktail list was extensive but way overpriced,to be honest it did not cross my mind as I found it fairly average,they are looking for a bar type place,skeff maybe?

    The Kings Head has a good selection of scumptious cocktails and always a bit of banter.

    Best Cocktails Galway IMO

    1 The G hotel
    2 The 12 Barna
    3 House Hotel
    4 Town house

    Kellys can be hit and miss

    Cocktails are good in the G but way overpriced.

    Kelly's cocktails not good in my experience.

    Cocktails in the House Hotel are good and fairly priced. They also have a package where a group can learn how to make cocktails. Always looks like fun whenever I've seen it being done and popular with groups of ladies out on the town. http://www.thehousehotel.ie/cocktail-bar-galway

    I just love the House hotel's and the g's cocktails!!! Cant wait until Friday - I am off with my best friend for a few at the g - they do summer specials for only €10 per cocktail so that's not tooo bad.

    I have had those 10 euro cocktails to be honest they are just a gimmick,not nice at all mainly fruit juice or soda as I spoke with the bar tender last time we were in there.
    He said your better off avoiding them and spending a but more on the other cocktails as you actually get some alcohol in them.
    What annoyed me was a member of our group ordered a champagne billing cocktail and she actually saw him subtituting it for proseco,she said to waitress at 18 euro it claims champagne but the girl just said that's been policy to use it and in fairness offered to refund her drink.
    Still total ripp off in all honesty.
