    Depends what kind of environment you want - I'm partial to Tí Neachtains myself - might be a bit old-timey for your group's tastes though. Other than that, the Quays, The Front Door or McSwiggans are all nice pubs. Kings Head is a good pub, though it can be noisy when music is playing.

    Galway peeps, what's a good public house for a few people to gather and imbibe and converse?

    Dock No. One is really good, or there's the Salt House ;)

    Needs to be not jammed and not loud. :) I'm in my late 30's now (almost :p) so can't be dealing with that noise. Is the Blue Note still a thing? That was always a favourite when I lived in Galway.

    Aye, Shim, the Blue Note still exists. When I was living up there I was almost right across the road from it.

    If the Blue Note ever not becomes a thing in Galway it would be a very sad day. The pubs in the middle of town are usually pretty busy.

    Blue Note is still there, but seems to be a very different kind of place the days. Admittedly I"m not down that side of town often, but the few times I have been, there's guys sitting there with laptops during the day, and it's dead at night :/

    Was just curious if it was in the old location of Padraigs bar (old, sawdust on the floor kind of place, going back years) or similar - I don't do much going out in Galway city these days.

    Yeah, I was wondering that too. Used to go to Padraig's at least once a week for gaming nights.

    Yeah, used to have a reputation as a really rough spot back when I was a teenager, had early/late license to cater to sailors coming in on the boats. Mellowed down a lot in the last ten years or so. Only heard about it closing a few months back - was wondering what they were going to do to the place.

    Getting some dinner on... frankly, I'm ****ed sideways :(

    Heard it was gonna be rough on the first few days of this diet, but damn I was not prepared. I'm constantly feeling, not hungry exactly, but unsatisfied if that makes any sense?

    Boston Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsaernaev found GUILTY on all 30 charges in relation to the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing - Seeing as i have relatives in Boston, the verdict has made me very very happy indeed.
