Best & Cool Bars in Oranmore

"Located across two streets on Cross Street and High Street, The Front door incorporates 2 pubs in 1 with Sonny Molloy’s Whiskey Bar on High Street. The Front Door is an iconic and popular pub in Galway city. It hosts 5 bars across 2 floors with many hidden cosy alcoves."

"It covers two floors and consists of five bars, including Tigh Nora and Sonny Molloy’s Whiskey Bar. You could spend the whole day here and drink at a new bar every few hours. During the day, The Front Door is an average Irish pub."

"Five bars, including Sonny Malloy's Whiskey Bar, are spread over two floors at this rambling venue, a maze of dark wood, hidden nooks and stained-glass partitions. Live music plays regularly, followed by DJs...."

"On the shores of Galway Bay, the Connemara Coast Hotel is the perfect place to spend a little me-time, especially in the luxury spa. Book time in the Therapy Rooms and look forward to an Aromatherapy Massage or more rigorous Swedish massage. Natural aromatic oils are used in the Hot Stones Massage that delivers deep heat to inner bone and tissue."

"You’ll find the Connemara Coast Hotel on the shores of Galway Bay, where it boasts a luxury spa, Therapy Rooms and plenty more. This award winning 4 star hotel offers the best of both worlds – easy access to the city (15 minutes away) and Connemara. It’s also right next to the sea!"

"O’Connell’s is located on the East side of Eyre Square and with its central location and beautiful shop front, it is indeed a popular watering hole in Galway. Boasting one of the best beer gardens in Ireland, this is one of our favourite spots for a dram or two!. Even in the depths of winter, part of O’Connell’s beer garden is covered and heated, and even features a mock Irish street with cute traditional shop fronts."

"O’Connell’s has one of the best locations in Galway – set right in the heart of the city on Eyre Square. Inside the large pub is decorated to look like an old-timey general store with vintage packages of food on the wall. However, the pub is most popular on warm days when crowds flock to the enormous beer garden."

"O’Connell’s Bar is one of the most interesting pubs in Galway. I visited this pub during my trip to the city and it set a high precedent for what a great pub truly is!. This pub is an old converted grocery store from 50 years ago and it even has a beer garden."

"This pub underwent a major renovation after new owners took it over a couple of years ago, but thankfully the new-look An Pucan has become a huge favorite on the locals’ social scene. Boasting live music seven nights a week, good food, and a cavernous beer garden, the pub is a hit with students and young professionals at weekends. Also popular with sports fans, the pub has become a 21st century Galway institution and regularly wins awards for the quality and innovation of its social media campaigns."

"For a more casual dining experience, An Púcán is another Galway legend and their newly renovated beer garden is something of a sun trap. The Irish whiskey & food tasting platter at €21 sounds like a steal with Tullamore Dew 12, Teelings Single Malt and Jameson Black Barrel paired with Galway Bay smoked salmon on their signature brown bread, a selection of Irish cheese, a chocolate brownie and a shot of pickle juice."

"This is one of those pubs that is great no matter the time of day. They’re open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the staff is just as friendly at the beginning of the day as they are at the end. This pub has live trad music every night and is a great way to get introduced to Galway’s music scene."

"In central Galway, the Park House Hotel blends the warmth and personality of a boutique hotel with 4-star luxury. It offers an award-winning restaurant and air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi. Rooms are decorated in warm colours, natural wood furnishings and luxurious fabrics."

"Whether you are in Galway for business or leisure, you’ll find Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway to be a comfortable accommodation to come home to. It is minutes away from the vibrant city center and its tempting attractions. When not taking Galway by storm or curling up in bed in your private room with a smart TV and WiFi access, you may sample Irish specialties in the on-site restaurant or burn some unwanted holiday calories at the fitness center on the premises."

"Less than a 15-minute walk away from Galway city centre, the modern 4-star Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway is located at Headford Point. It offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, free underground parking and a fine restaurant. The spacious rooms at the Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway are decorated in warm colours."

"Located on the ground floor of Pálás cinema, Merrow’s seasonally shifting menu takes inspiration from the wilderness, coast and countryside we are surrounded by. Baked celeriac steak anyone?. It’s the perfect place to launch a dinner and movie kind of night, as you can head straight to the cinema after your meal."

"Pálás is a cool brand new cinema theatre in Galway funded by the government. With state-of-the-art technology, three screens, a coffee shop and a bar, the cinema is one of Galway’s cultural hubs. Cinemas are a dating staple and choosing this particular cinema is a great way to pity a unique spin on them."

"Firstly, make sure you have your pronunciation correct: “Dawl” Bar, also the name of Ireland’s parliament. After opening its doors in 2008, this pub has already become beloved venue amongst Galwegians. The pub dominates the corner of Cross St and Middle St with a beautiful public clock located above the main entrance."

"Located on Middle Street, The Dáil bar is the perfect place to begin or end any night out. During the day relax and enjoy the friendly atmosphere and warm yourself up with something from their menu. At night enjoy the live music as part of a party or with some friends and try out their famous cocktails."

"Start with the chili calamari rings or goat cheese spring rolls before moving onto the main event: the grill. You can get roast chicken or grilled strip steak—but the burgers are really some of the best in Galway. Can't decide what to get?"

"Tribeton produces some of the best brunch in Galway (hit play above!), all in sleek surrounds with friendly staff on hand to tend to whatever you need. Brunch favourites here include chicken burgers, steak burgers, club sandwiches, smashed avocado with poached egg, eggs benedict, lobster rolls, pancakes with maple syrup and more. Bottomless prosecco makes Tribeton a popular spot with hen dos, who flock here at weekends to sip bubbles and celebrate amid the convivial ambience."

"Tribeton brings the hipster element to Galway city with its chic and contemporary feel. Located on Merchants road it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city folk. Tribeton has an industrial design with art décor, vintage lighting and antique mirrors with a relaxed vibe and natural light during that day with rhythmic music and an electric atmosphere at night."

"This is probably one of the better places to come for a cocktail in Galway. Set in a huge industrial space, with the longest bar in Galway, they go particular big on martinis (gin and vodka) here."

"Galway’s contemporary arts hub, the Galway Arts Centre is another revolving exhibition space that takes in an incredible array of local art and entertainment, including theatre and visual arts. The gallery is equally fluid, with a penchant for cartoony modern art and statement sculpture. There are classes, too, if you feel like getting your hands dirty."

"Located on the brink of the Mayo-Galway lies the gorgeous Ashford Castle. The history of this castle dates back to the year 1228, where an early castle was built by the Anglo-Norman House of Burke; the castle then fell into the hands of several different owners over the centuries, and each time it was transferred, new additions were added, depending on the contemporary style and needs of that particular era. The castle was purchased in 1852 by Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness; at this point, the castle underwent an enormous renovation, where two grand Victorian extensions were added; the castle, therefore, has a truly unique façade, that combines medieval and Victorian features."

"Asford Castle is famous as the site of Pierce Brosnan’s wedding to Keely Shay Smith. It’s in the tiny, rustic village of Cong, on the border between Galway and Mayo, and dates from the 13th century. Now, it is now one of Ireland’s most high-end hotels."

"Built in 1228, the medieval Ashford Castle is now an exclusive 5-star hotel. Its most famous guests include King George V, Queen Mary, John Lennon, Oscar Wilde, Ronald Reagan, Brad …. translated by•View Original"

The main outlet for this centre is the department store, Debenhams. Marks and Spencers have a department store as well as a food court and there are plenty of cosmetics and accessories, menswear, ladies wear and household goods as well as a spacious café and a multi storey car park."
