PUBS
With approximately 650 pubs and 70,000 people, Galway maintains an extremely low person to pub ratio. Indeed, the city’s intricate constellation of pubs is its number one attraction. In general, Quay St. and Eyre Sq. cater more to tourists, while locals stick to the more trad-oriented Dominick Street pubs.
HThe King’s Head, on High St. has 3 floors and a huge stage devoted to nightly rock.
Upstairs music varies, from trad to rock cover bands. Su jazz brunch l-3pm; ‚12.
Roisin Dubh (The Black Rose), Dominick St. An intimate, bookshelved front hides Galway’s hottest live music scene. In general, rock artists and singer-songwriters play their stage, but folk and blues musicians put in appearances too. Cover ‚5-20.
The Hole in the Wall, Eyre Sq. This surprisingly large pub fills up fast with college-age singletons year-round. An ideal place to meet people, offering booths for groups, 3 bars for mingling, and tables to dance on. Music varies, but craic is a constant.
The Crane, 2 Sea Rd. is a friendly, musical pub that is one of the best places to hear trad in Galway. The 2nd floor hosts live performances that get better and better as musi-cians filter in throughout the night to join in the jam. Trad every night and all day Su. Set dancing Tu.
