Post by: Ten brown bottles on January 20, 2016, 07:00:54 PM
Greetings all, am a homebrewer from Cork, visiting Galway this weekend. Keen to get some recommendations for good pubs and off licenses in Galway city to make the most of my time whilst up there! Cask would be great, draft if not... Thanks for any advice!

Download the Beoirfinder app. All the good pubs and restaurants that stock craft beers are listed in it.

Besides the Oslo and the Salthouse for beers, Foleys in Woodquay have a decent range of beers, and wood oven pizza. Massimo has decent food, and a good range of bottled beers. A few on tap as well. Was in McCambridges (food and drink store) on shop street for the first time in years last night. Decent selection of beers. Picked up a bottle of Independent Brewery's Brandy Aged Barleywine, as well as some Firestone Walker beers, and a Westmallen Dubbel in the bargain bin.

Foleys is worth a look alright apart from the usual Oslo/Salthouse/Bierhaus.  O'Connells in Eyre Square actually seem to have a good selection too.

CH the teenagers would probably enjoy Dough Bros for pizza.  I think the usually have some craft beers in the fridge too!

Dough bros was jammers at 8 and full of student types as its a walk in and wait for a seat jobbie.
Had a great Italian meal in this quirky Italian  Il Foletto, which had a wine list punching way above its weight in quality.
Not as cheap as dough bros but hey
