Best & Cool Bars in Salthill

"The Front Door Pub is so large that it spans two streets, with entrances on both High Street and Cross Street in Galway’s Latin Quarter. It is so big, in fact, that it is actually made up of five different bars on two floors. Packed with 500 people on busy nights, the pub is most popular with 20-somethings who dress to impress on their evening out on the town."

"If you’re looking to celebrate Pancake Tuesday in an even more indulgent way, then The Front Door is the place for you. 🥞Gin Pancakes on Pancake Tuesday!. 🥞From 12 noon on Tuesday 25th February, when we'll be combining two of the nation’s favourite.."

"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."

"O’Connell’s Bar is a neighborhood favorite (especially with the locals for post-work drinks), and between an easygoing, laid-back vibe and the comfortable vintage interiors, it’s not hard to see why. But the best part about O’Connell’s, and what sets it apart from many of the other bars and led us to put it on the list of best bars in Galway, is the huge outdoor beer garden. Coming in through a modest entrance and emerging into the enormous patio has been likened to Doctor Who’s TARDIS or Diagon Alley in Harry Potter."

"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."

"Right on Eyre Sq, this traditional, garrulous pub has a great, huge heated beer garden, which is home to two outdoor bars and regular music events. Original floor tiles, stained-glass windows and a pressed-tin..."

"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."

"‘On Pookawn’ for those of you not familiar with our native tongue, this pub is located on Forster St just off Eyre Square. The venue was extended in 2004 following a change in ownership and now plays host to live traditional music sessions on a regular basis on several stages. We like to drop in here regularly on our Whiskey Trail."

"An Púcán, is one of Galway’s oldest traditional pubs and has a strong tradition of offering Irish traditional and folk music daily. Besides its great offerings of music, An Púcán also offers over 150 whiskeys along with craft beers and boutique wines as well as an extensive food menu. Address: 11 Forster St, Galway, Ireland"

"No matter what time of day, you won’t regret it if the neon sign lures you into Electric Arcade’s ‘streetfood discotheque’. In the evening, their impressive offering of cocktails and dishes – think 12-hour braised beef-cheek tacos or mac and cheese with smoked haddock – are elevated to an all-night experience, with a smorgasbord of whimsically designed spaces and music styles to suit your evolving mood. For a more relaxed Electric Arcade experience, the dual emphasis on atmosphere and delicious bites also works at lunchtime where ‘tasty treats and chilled out tunes’ will make you really feel like you’ve taken a break."

"Streetfood, Liquors, Entertainment & Dancing – All under one rooftop.” Biteclub is known for its funky atmosphere, it’s delicious cocktails and chilled out vibe. Their food is a modern take on street food from around the world; Think Mexican, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food with a twist. They use locally sourced ingredients, they throw great gigs and even have a disco brunch… and the best thing about it is that the food is affordable!"

"Flannery's Hotel is long established in Galway City as a hotel offering comfort & style within relaxed surroundings making it an excellent choice for the business traveller or leisure guest alike. All rooms are tastefully decorated and equipped with modern 3 star features such as en-suite facilities, direct dial telephone, multi channel television, tea/coffee making facilities, hairdryer, and free WiFi throughout the hotel. Award winning "Galwegians Restaurant" offers guests a selection of dishes all cooked with flair in the kitchen where each menu is accompanied by a range of freshly prepared home grown vegetables and complimented by a vast selection of fine wines."

"Ballyloughane Beach and Eyre Square are both a short drive away from Flannery’s Hotel, making it an ideal accommodation for beach-goers, as well as foodies. It is a three-star hotel that features an on-site Irish restaurant and a bistro that offers flavorful mixes and popular drinks. Rooms in this hotel are equipped with a work desk, coffee-making essentials, and WiFi access."

"It tends to (not always!) be one of the cheaper hotels in Galway, price wise, but it’s a bit outside the city, so you’ll need to grab a taxi. Based on my last couple of visits, I can vouch for the rooms being clean and the food from the bar being decent. The rooms are also modern and spacious."

Located right down on the Pier in Barna Village, O’Grady’s offers a stunning, relaxed location in which to enjoy the freshest, locally sourced and well prepared seafood and meat dish.”.

"This super fish restaurant was the first place chef Aidan McGee (now Head Chef at Corrigan's Mayfair) worked. The biggest selling point is its glorious views over Galway Bay - but the seafood-heavy menu is also full of delights. More about O’Gradys on the Pier"

"A seafood lover’s paradise, O’Gradys is located right on the pier in Barna, just outside Galway city. Seating is limited and it’s walk in only, but risk it. Believe me, you won’t be sorry."

"Ireland’s oldest – as far as anyone knows – guesthouse, run by five generations of the Hodgson family, who have lived in this house since 1840 and on the site since the 17th century. Come here for glorious landscapes, deep history, absolute tranquillity – and traditional Irish hospitality at its best."

"Beautifully situated overlooking Lough Corrib and set in 180 acres of woodlands and gardens, the Hodgson family’s gracious early Victorian manor house was built in 1846 as a wedding present for the present owner, Henry Hodgson’s, great, gre ..."
