weekend breaks in ireland

[attheraces]

Sleepzone is a fantastic hostel/apartments. They have small apartments available that sleep 4 and have a mini kitchen/living room each and are great value. Will probably work out about 25/30 quid per person per nightThey're great for having few drinks before you hit the town. CP's is a big fancy night club. The Quay's is a good all day pub, do good food and show all sport and the Front Door is another good spot.

Cheers attheraces, will check all those out. Any good places for picking up hens? Think that CP's might too fancy for some of our clientele lol

A few of us are thinking of booking Galway city for a boozy weekend during the July fortnight.

Mid/late twenties, any recommendations for accommodation, nightclubs, eateries, etc?

For accomodation would ye be looking for hostels or hotels? As attheraces said SleepZone is one option if ye're looking for a hostel.There's also a hostel called Barnacles which is right slap bang in the middle of Quay Street.Ideal location though I have never been in it so I don't know what it's like.
Some hotels that would be very well located for the nightlife etc would be Jurys Inn and the House hotel. Jurys is perfectly located and has a nice beer garden out the back beside the river.

For nightlife - pubs like the Front Door and Busker Brownes (directly across the road from each other) are probably the most popular and would be known to attract good looking women! Both are late disco bars.
Quays is a good spot for pints earlier in the day whille Monroes over the bridge is also a decent bar.

The nightclubs are average enough with Halo definitely the best for women.

As regards eateries - it all depends if ye're looking for cheap and cheerful bar food or want to eat a restaurant meal etc.
Quay Street has a few options - restaurants like Martines & KC  Blakes are decent while it also has Fat Freddys and McDonaghs for the cheap and cheerful food.
Front Door, Buskers and the Dail bar all do decent pub grub as well. All of these places are in or around the same area.
For sambos,coffee,breakfast etc Sam Baileys on Abbeygate Street is probably the best place in town.

If you need any more info on the city I would be happy to help

Topaz service stations for every £25 fuels get 1 stamp,5 stamps gets you a code.I would put £100 in car in a week Onion so no bother getting codes.I will get you 1 in a week if you want.
