Top, Best & Fun Rooftop 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"

"Bedecked with hanging baskets of flowers and bright blue paint, The Quays (pronounced “keys”) is a pub that is pretty from the outside, but it is truly stunning once you walk through the doors. The inside of the pub has been decorated with antiques from a French church with pews, stained glass and Gothic arches which date back to medieval times. The lovely setting is perfect for a quiet pint, but head upstairs and you will find yourself in one of the best rock and roll venues in the city."

"The Quays Bar and Restaurant, Galway|Courtesy of The Quays, Galway. The Quays may look like your quintessential traditional Irish pub from the outside, but its interior is surprisingly cosmopolitan. Parts of the décor were originally part of a medieval church in France, including the pews and a sizeable church organ – which acts as a backdrop for musical acts performing daily in the venue upstairs."

"Serving food and drink for over 400 years, The Quays is one of the city’s most historic establishments. Inside, visitors can see stain glass windows, a full-size church organ and even a fully restored railway footbridge. You will find traditional music in The Quays most nights, alongside some of the best Guinness in the city."

"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?"
