    So, slappers, if your knickers are loose like your morals, and you've a good body but not much upstairs in the brains department give us a shout and be ready to get your tits out for the lads. WHEY HEY!!!"

    If you're one of those people who has helped turn Sally's into what is effectively a waiting room until the horrendous club beside it opens up like the legs of a crack-addicted whore, I hate you.

    In all fairness, he's only asking about drinking places in Galway. I think a few of yas want to learn not to take things posted on the boards so seriously.

    hey "sarky" chillax! I was just saying that it's a good place for drinking in Galway! I was there once while on holidays with a friend and we both thought it was good! take it handy!

    **** off! Galway is a local town for local people.

    Best place for drinking in Galway during race week is your own house. The pubs are massively over-crowded, there's tossers everywhere, you can't even get a shaggin' seat in your own local. That's why I'm off to Germany to sample some of the WeiBbier instead this year!

    And I agree with Sarky on Sally Longs. It's still fine during the week or in the afternoon but it's not the pub it was on a Friday or Saturday night any more :(

    The man has some sense probably due to having a good Cerebral Cortex in his brain holder.
    Yep everything is like a mart in Galway at race week but if you are drunk wtf do you care you'll be well...how should I put this....DRUNK.

    I agree with Triton and I'm not a newbie - chillaxe and take life a little easier people.

    He's messing and having a bit of craic.

    hey "Karl Hungus" I was just saying that for the people who are going to be there for this week that a good pub is "Sally Longs"! why is everyone on this thread getting so uptight!?

    Ya, fcukin hell, what's the deal, did I miss something here or what?

    Anyhoo to answer the question, everywhere will be absolutely mobbed. For a bit of atmophere, get some tinnies in the Vineyard and plastic glasses and then head down Quay Street, there's always laaaaydees around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,621 ✭✭✭GreenHell


    Was there a few weeks back, anywhere around air square was good craic I seem to remember and off to le salsa for savage grub.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭toiletduck


    if you're around salthill you should call into the jamesons opposite the church. tis usually a big crowd and good craic for the races.

    Ugh. Jamesons, my younger brother worked as a barman there for a good while a few years ago, many idiots and pricks flock there during the races. Avoid, young grasshopper! As for where to go, it depends what type of person you are and what scene you dig. I'll be outside the Vineyard with some vodka concoction early in the evening, then on to Halo most nights this week. Might even visit the Living Room and the Front Door at some stage. I imagine most Boardsies would HATE those places. Not looking forward to my long drive down this evening after work, though I will get to visit glorious Moate and wonderful Loughrea, so it won't be all bad...:D

    i worked there for the past 4 summers, everyone said the races were good there though i was in a zombie state due to being completely overworked.

    Sally Longs has been ****e every time i've been in there over the past 6 years.
    never saw the attraction of the place myself :confused:

    to the OP
    you'd be hard pushed to get into any pub by the look of Quay street last night. your best bet would be to grab a few carry outs and plastic glasses as was already suggested
