Top, Best & Fun Rooftop 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."

"No matter what time of day, you won’t regret it if the neon sign lures you into Electric Arcade’s ‘streetfood discotheque’. In the evening, their impressive offering of cocktails and dishes – think 12-hour braised beef-cheek tacos or mac and cheese with smoked haddock – are elevated to an all-night experience, with a smorgasbord of whimsically designed spaces and music styles to suit your evolving mood. For a more relaxed Electric Arcade experience, the dual emphasis on atmosphere and delicious bites also works at lunchtime where ‘tasty treats and chilled out tunes’ will make you really feel like you’ve taken a break."

"Streetfood, Liquors, Entertainment & Dancing – All under one rooftop.” Biteclub is known for its funky atmosphere, it’s delicious cocktails and chilled out vibe. Their food is a modern take on street food from around the world; Think Mexican, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food with a twist. They use locally sourced ingredients, they throw great gigs and even have a disco brunch… and the best thing about it is that the food is affordable!"

"Three juicy smashed beef patties oozing with American cheese, Chipotle honey mayo, fresh lettuce and garlic mayo, The Smash Harry burger from Harry's Bar contains a mouth-watering array of goodies that are sure to curb those burger cravings. If that's not quite for you, try The Filthy Animal burger is packed with buttermilk fried chicken, crispy bacon, fresh stuffing and relish, all dripping in garlic mayo and Harry's gravy. Whatever you decide to order, you can be certain that any grub from Harry's Bar is always a good time."

"Pulling together all aspects of an ideal dining and drinking experience, Harry’s Bar offers delicious dinner, weekend brunch, handcrafted cocktails, matches on the TV and great service to boot. From 11am Saturday to 12pm Sunday, you’ll find some dreamy brunch delights that will definitely cure what ails you. Menu highlights include signature fluffy pancakes and seriously tasty loaded waffles."

"You had me at takeaway cocktails… Yes, that’s right, Harry’s Bar is opening this Friday for takeaway!. Imagine digging into their Mad Harry Burger with a dreamy cocktail onside?. I’m not drooling...you’re drooling."

"Ballyloughane Beach and Eyre Square are both a short drive away from Flannery’s Hotel, making it an ideal accommodation for beach-goers, as well as foodies. It is a three-star hotel that features an on-site Irish restaurant and a bistro that offers flavorful mixes and popular drinks. Rooms in this hotel are equipped with a work desk, coffee-making essentials, and WiFi access."

"It tends to (not always!) be one of the cheaper hotels in Galway, price wise, but it’s a bit outside the city, so you’ll need to grab a taxi. Based on my last couple of visits, I can vouch for the rooms being clean and the food from the bar being decent. The rooms are also modern and spacious."

"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 donut giant has an incredible new store on Shop Street where you can waddle in and drown in the endless selection of delicious donuts. How many is too many?. We haven't reached the limit yet, anyway!"

"The front section is all trad music sessions and pints of Guinness, but if you head on out to the back at the weekends you'll find a massive pub garden complete with a double-decker bus where Crust Bucket pizzas are served up. More about Crust Bucket"

"A pint of Guinness at a Galway pub should cost you around €5. You shouldn’t be paying more than €7 anywhere. In Ireland, tipping for drinks is not custom."
