Heading over to Galway City shortly for a 3 day break with the wife. Any suggestions for places to go to things to see, decent pubs restaurants etc ?

Great City with some unusual local characters like Warty Nora,kn**ker dwarf,Denis the Wino,Madame Bridget etc.. It's a while since i was out for a night in Galway but i think the good spots King's head,taaffes,the Quays & Roisin Dubh are still there.

The Skeffington arms has a decent restaurant.

Stag there a fortnight ago, fantastic weekend. Ate in Supermacs about 3 times, which was my total food consumption so couldnt recommend any eateries. The Dail was a good spot. Stayed in Raddison blu which was spot on, walking distance to everything.

Some of the city's most upstanding citizens.

If you're mobile, take a spin out around Connemara; drive out by Moycullen, Oughterard, Maam Cross, Inagh valley to Leenane, onto Kylemore Abbey, Letterfrack, sky road into Clifden. Come back by the coast taking in Ballyconneely, Roundstone, Carna, Kilkeerin, Carraroe, Inverin, Spiddal. Great scenery and nice villages.

In the city, walk around the docks, shop street, Cathedral and university grounds. Also the prom in Salthill. Galway is a great city for ambience and atmosphere more than things to do.

There is a large Mayo refugee community around the city and they can be identified by the use of "sh" instead of "t" at
the end of words as well as their tendency to  wear red and green on certain sundays of the year, not to mention soaring manic highs and chronic lows , also on Sundays.

I always loved going to Spiddal and Kinvara. Great wee spots. Take a drive through The Burren too. Class place.

There's always a down side to every place 
Maybe they could re settle them at the airport if it closes ?

The Gaeltacht is what makes Galway different. 
You walk down Shop Street and you are guaranteed to hear the blas.

Any more of that and we'll revoke your right to use Mayo International Airport.
