Best Nightlife in Lahinch

"On the shores of Galway Bay, the Connemara Coast Hotel is the perfect place to spend a little me-time, especially in the luxury spa. Book time in the Therapy Rooms and look forward to an Aromatherapy Massage or more rigorous Swedish massage. Natural aromatic oils are used in the Hot Stones Massage that delivers deep heat to inner bone and tissue."

"You’ll find the Connemara Coast Hotel on the shores of Galway Bay, where it boasts a luxury spa, Therapy Rooms and plenty more. This award winning 4 star hotel offers the best of both worlds – easy access to the city (15 minutes away) and Connemara. It’s also right next to the sea!"

"The hotel/gastropub is situated in Barna Village - a 10-minute drive from Galway. On the top floor, you'll find the fine dining restaurant with a wine list that has won multiple international awards. Our favourite spot is downstairs in The Pins Gastro Bar - the pizzas, stacked with local ingredients, are super."

"The Twelve Hotel is located in the idyllic seaside village of Barna, a short distance outside Galway city. Named after the twelve rolling peaks nearby, this hotel offers relaxation, luxury and escapism. After a busy day exploring the Irish thrills, you can indulge in this hotel’s unique charms."

"The Twelve Hotel, also in Barna have a dedicated outdoor terrace for non-residents, called Nóin and it’s pretty as a picture with something of a Parisian vibe. The food in The Twelve is always excellent and their wine list is legendary. https://www.thetwelvehotel.ie/"

"The heart of Galway is brimming with restaurants and pubs, but it is worth the trip out to the Salthill area to experience more of the city, as well as to stop for a pint at O’Connor’s. The pub considers itself famous for its singsongs and it is certainly famous among the visitors who fill the bar in the summer. The cheery yellow pub has adopted a “more is more” approach to decorations so it can be hard to know where to look when you first step inside."

"If you’re strolling down Upper Salthill Road, it’s pretty hard to miss this Galway bar. Painted a sunny yellow, with “O’Connor’s” in bold black lettering, this is a favored bar for many locals. Once inside, the decor will likely blow you away; knickknacks and odds and ends are hanging from every free inch of space on the ceiling."

"Donnelly's Bar & Restaurant is an old local favourite that has been renovated to a beautifully modern finish. Located on the picturesque Barna Pier, it's the perfect location to appreciate the sea and its plentiful bounty!. Their menu packs a secret weapon that you won't find anywhere else; Neptune's Seafood Treasure is a crepe filled with fresh salmon, cod and prawns in a white wine sauce, gratinated and topped with Hollandaise and breadcrumbs, and it's delicious!"

"One of Ireland’s most renowned seafood restaurants, Donnelly's also caters to carnivores with its game and meat dishes. Wash it all down with a few drinks at the on-site bar."

"Watch chocolate being made in small batches using rare Trinitario cacao beans and raw sugar on a 45-minute tour of this heavenly smelling cottage-housed chocolate factory in a picturesque hillside location. If you don't catch a tour, peer through the factory's glass viewing windows from the chocolate-filled shop. Its on-site organic cafe (dishes €6.50 to €12.50) uses chocolate in creations like parsnip, cacao butter and white-pepper soup, and grilled halloumi and chocolate-and-plum-chutney toasties."

"As soon as you sit down in Salthill’s Ground & Co, you’ll feel your worries slip away as comfort sets in. If you fancy starting your day with a dip in the sea, this spot is the perfect place for a post-swim brunch. Chef Leroy’s homemade sausage roll definitely deserves honourable mention, but the entire menu will get your stomach rumbling."

"While only two of the ancient buildings at this site are actually churches this was one of the earliest Irish pilgrimage sites ever."

"Leanmaneh Castle is a fantastic castle that is situated in the town of Leanmaneh North, in County Clare. The origins of the castle date back to the late 15th century, and it is believed to have been constructed by the O’Brien family; the castle was later renovated into a manor house, and it merged its function as a military centre with its residential qualities. The castle fell into ruin during the 18th century, and it has not been renovated since then; it exists on privately owned land, in a farming region of the area, and due to its poor-quality state, it is unfortunately not open to the public."

"The drive to the seaside area of Barna is well worth the trip to enjoy fresh seafood at O’Grady’s on the Pier. The country-style dining has a warm, rustic charm, while the terrace offers some of the best views of Galway Bay. Start with the local Castletownbere Bay crab claws or fresh steamed mussels with chorizo, paprika, and leeks."

"This super fish restaurant was the first place chef Aidan McGee (now Head Chef at Corrigan's Mayfair) worked. The biggest selling point is its glorious views over Galway Bay - but the seafood-heavy menu is also full of delights. More about O’Gradys on the Pier"

"A seafood lover’s paradise, O’Gradys is located right on the pier in Barna, just outside Galway city. Seating is limited and it’s walk in only, but risk it. Believe me, you won’t be sorry."

"These days people do like to know they’re eating locally grown food, they feel good about contributing to the economy, especially when they’re tourists, and the GFP in Salthill is all about fresh and locally grown food. Although this is one of the more casual places to eat in Salthill, the food packs a punch!. The Calamari is delicious, as is the Beef Burger and we shared a Nutella cheesecake, although ‘Himself’ was a bit greedy and had more than his share!"

"Taking the leap outside of Dublin with their location in our lovely Salthill, Gourmet Food Parlour has been an incredibly welcomed addition to Galway’s foodie scene. The gorgeous, trendy interiors are complemented by their food and the weekend brunch served from 9am-5pm really takes the cake. Huevos rancheros, sandwiches and salads aplenty, they’ve even got some main courses that will really set you up for the day."
