Best & Cool Bars in Spiddal

"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."

"Galway is a haven for some high-quality pub grub, and The Front Door is up there with the best. The super crispy fish and chips, the mouth-watering steaks, the sublimely sticky BBQ ribs- are all highly recommended. There is always an electric atmosphere in this place."

"The best of all worlds at the Connemara Coast: a beautiful seaside location overlooking Galway Bay; a cheerfully family-friendly atmosphere; the rugged and splendid hinterland of western Ireland on the doorstep; and the cultural delights of Galway City just a few miles away. It’s a lovely combination."

"O’Connell’s Bar is situated on the east of Eyre Square and is known for its quirky and unique features and for being home to one of the best beer gardens in all of Galway City. The outside beer garden is decorated to resemble an old-style street and is complete with cobblestones and shop and pub fronts which line the walls. This design makes this particular beer garden very unique and one well worth visiting."

"This pub on Galway's central Eyre Square may not look all that from the outside, but what you can't see from the street is the humungous beer garden. Or should that be beer street - after all they've built a Victorian street in their huge courtyard complete with a Dough Bros pizzeria and the whole thing has a retractable roof to cope with the Irish weather.

"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."

"Located on Foster Street, An Púcán serves food and drink and is a perfect set for live music sessions. It hosts 2 bars, a large beer garden, 2 smoking areas and live music daily. Each evening, An Púcán has well known traditional Irish musicians and live cover bands every Friday and Saturday night, with a DJ on every Saturday night until late."

"The outdoor beer garden at An Púcán is bursting with colour and vibrance making it the perfect place to snap an Insta story, have a cocktail, and enjoy the food. On the menu is everything from soup to chicken or pasta, so you are spoiled for choice!. Bookings can be made through their website."

Also known as the Tigh Fox Trad House is a marvelous, clean-looking bar, with polished floors, a nice, warm fireplace, and TV to watch good sports. Try some of their menus for dinner, a Guinness, and have a chat while listening to traditional Irish music while imbibing the warm and spiritual atmosphere of this prestigious bar."

"A lovely restaurant with an arts cinema attached - the chef here is Latvian Liga Jarovoja, who used to be at Ard Bia. It's open all day serving up hot baps at breakfast, veggie fry-ups for brunch (including cauliflower hash) while dinner is a modern European menu featuring local produce."

"Art house film is a genre which encompasses content and style which is often artistic or experimental, expressing the filmmakers’ personal artistic vision. In the  Pálás Cinema, the restaurant perfectly reflects this ideology."

"For the kids, they have Cosmo’s Funworld and Galaxy Games, while the adults have the Satellite Bar and Star Lanes. There is also a wide range of party food available at the Apollo Diner. Parties are the speciality here from Kiddies birthdays to corporate nights, bowling fundraisers to…"

"Located 5 minutes walk from Eyre Square, The Planet ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE is ideal for your party. We have all the ingredients for a great occasion – Bowling, Laser Quest, American pool, beer and Subway. Outings can be tailor-made to suit your requirements."

"The centre was built on the site of an old timber yard in an effort to breathe life into the city. And it was an undoubtable success. Today, with its specialist shops in fashion, food, sport, gifts, books, household goods, department stores, cafes, banks and bustling yet spacious atmosphere and its constant hosting of exhibitions and events for children and adults, Eyre Square Centre has become a centre in every sense of the word."

"A large Dunne's supermarket is the centrepiece of this shopping centre ,which features more than 70 shops and chain-food outlets."

"A ‘show mine’ that plays tribute to the days of mining in Connemara, West Galway, a trip to Glengowla brings you below ground to explore the dangerous extraction methods of 19th-century silver and lead mining. As well as the roughshod mining buildings and cave below, Glengowla is now home to an open farm, which is popular with local families. Glengowla Lodge, Glengowla East, Oughterard, Co."

"If you’re in search of family friendly places to eat in Salthill, look no further than the Galleon Restaurant. When a restaurant has been owned by the same family for 3 generations, they’ve learned a thing or two along the way, and that’s how it is at The Galleon. The restaurant has been refurbished in recent times, but the family-friendly atmosphere has remained, making it one of several brilliant restaurants in Salthill for a family meal."

"However, when it is a stunner of a day, Galway is THE place to be. Notably, the Spanish Arch and Salthill, which come alive the moment a ray of sunshine hits Galway Bay. To take this list a little bit out of Galway City Centre, the Galleon Restaurant located in the heart of Salthill is an oldie but a goody."

"Da Roberta's Ristorante and Pizzeria is an authentic, family run Italian restaurant located in Salthill, Galway. The huge menu offers lots of delicious Italian dishes - including over 23 pizzas - to suit all taste buds and contains an extensive wine list featuring some of the best wines Italy has to offer."

"Out in Salthill, combine a stop here with a walk along the prom and you're winning. It tastes better if you work for it. I'd even go so far as to class Da Roberta's as one of Galway's best Italian restaurants (don't let their sporadic social media presence fool you otherwise)."
