    Looks like Garavans? http://www.irelandwhiskeytrail.com/?pg=Garavans_bar_pub_Galway.php

    Oslo also has a decent selection with prices clearly posted (albeit not a cheap experience).

    This could be a good laugh, even if you know Galway reasonably well: http://www.segwayadventures.ie/segway-tour-galway-history-a/4578859554

    There's actually a whiskey trail:

    Haha. I wonder how much more vomit is now cleaned up on that path than before.

    There's a decent Bowling Alley/Arcade/pool tables place in the Headford road shopping center. (10 minutes walk from Eyre sq.)

    The name of the place evades me. But you cannot miss it. They have a small bar inside the place as well (or at least they did the last time I was there)... so you can have a beer whilest Bowling or playing pool.





    Heard good things about Pureskill as well...but you will maybe need to book in advance, if you are planning to go of a peak time like Saturday afternoon.

    Thanks to you all for the suggestions, we settled on kayaking. Never done it so should be a bit of craic.

    There's probably a young tourist wandering around Woodquay since I gave her directions to Sleepzone last week. "You can't miss Roche's Stores" I sez 😕

    When did Moons become Brown Thomas?

    hop on the free bikes and cycle around galway. walk the prom and dont forget to kick the wall

    jump off black rock tower...you aint galway til you done that. it'll freeze the bollix off ya but you'll be better for it. especially if you're hungover

    go to oslo bar in salthill after (just a short walk away). play some pool - you should get the table to your selves. good place to watch a match and an excellent choice of beers.

    salthills a good spot to wile away a few hours. not an activity as such, but good if you want to relax a little

    You still should have stopped going to "whatever it's called now" 20 years ago. :P
