What to Do in Galway When It Rains
"These two reserves, through their combination of deciduous woods, limestone reefs, lakes and turloughs, constitute one of the most interesting Irish vegetation and faunal complexes still in existence. The Coole-Garryland reserve contains a variety of floral habitats including well-formed high forest on deep pockets of soil, dwarf woodland on limestone pavement and a turlough complex in the Callows and Coole Lake. A large portion of this reserve was formerly owned by Lady Gregory, co-founder with W.B."
"One hour south of Galway City is a great place to take the kids for a day out in nature. Covering an area of approximately 400 hectares is the wetland and woodland nature reserve of Coole Park. The two reserves constitute woods, limestone reefs, lakes, and turloughs where you can see interesting Irish vegetation and fauna."
"This pub underwent a major renovation after new owners took it over a couple of years ago, but thankfully the new-look An Pucan has become a huge favorite on the locals’ social scene. Boasting live music seven nights a week, good food, and a cavernous beer garden, the pub is a hit with students and young professionals at weekends. Also popular with sports fans, the pub has become a 21st century Galway institution and regularly wins awards for the quality and innovation of its social media campaigns."
"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."
"This is one of those pubs that is great no matter the time of day. They’re open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the staff is just as friendly at the beginning of the day as they are at the end. This pub has live trad music every night and is a great way to get introduced to Galway’s music scene."
"In central Galway, the Park House Hotel blends the warmth and personality of a boutique hotel with 4-star luxury. It offers an award-winning restaurant and air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi. Rooms are decorated in warm colours, natural wood furnishings and luxurious fabrics."

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."

"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)."
"Head out to the Salthill area of Galway for a taste of Italy in Ireland. The cozy restaurant has all the Italian classics, plus a great selection of wine and beer from the bel paese. The real reason to book a table, however, is for the wood-fired pizza."
