Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Spiddal Area

"The easiest of these markets to access, as it sits right in the heart of the city, is the centuries-old Galway Market, trading in the same location since the days that the city mayor was forced to hang his own son for murder in a nearby laneway. While it still does the staples, these days the focus is much more imaginative: a huge variety of food stalls serving anything from sushi to curry, with lots of local arts and crafts, and plenty of live music to enjoy too. It’s all set alongside the church, in imaginatively named ‘Church Lane’."

"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."

"Located just off Eyre Square, which is serviced by bus # 33 direct from outside Clybaun Hotel, the Corrib Shopping Centre is a compact shopping mall featuring a wide range of goods. The main outlet for this centre is the department store, Debenhams. Marks and Spencers have a department store as well as a food court and there are plenty of cosmetics and accessories, menswear, ladies wear and household goods as well as a spacious café and a multi storey car park."

"The Burren's wildflowers are the inspiration for the subtle scents at this wonderful perfumery and floral centre, which creates scented items such as perfumes, candles and soaps that are beautifully packaged in handmade paper. A 10-minute audiovisual presentation details the area's diverse flora, including many fragrant orchids that grow between the rocks. You're free to wander its flower and herb gardens, which provide ingredients for dishes and herbal teas served at its tearoom."

"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."

"There is nothing particularly notable about the décor or layout of this pub, tucked away beside a canal on the west side of the River Corrib. A lot of Galway pubs are brighter, breezier, and bigger, but none can match the sheer variety of craft beers available at The Salt House. This place boasts 120 varieties of bottled craft beers from all around the world and 21 different types of beer on draught at any one time."

"A four-star boutique hotel with beautiful interiors, the House Hotel also has the advantage of a superb location at Spanish Parade in Galway’s Latin Quarter. This stylish spot is just a stone’s throw from some of the city’s best restaurants and bars, but with a widely celebrated cocktail bar and bistro on the premises, hosting live music every weekend, you don’t even have to venture that far. Sleeping options range from standard doubles up to extravagant suites with private balconies, and all the en-suite bathrooms have toiletries from the range by Irish designer Orla Kiely – a pleasantly patriotic touch."

"This contemporary four-star hotel is a great base for exploring Ireland’s most bohemian city — named European Capital of Culture 2020. The rooms are welcoming but, given the vibrant local food scene, the dining offer lacks imagination. Everything is within walking distance though, so simply eat elsewhere."

"The House Hotel is the perfect place to stay for a shopaholic as its location is only steps away from Galway’s main shopping street, aptly named Shop Street. After a long day of shopping, the hotel has a lovely cocktail bar and comfortable rooms to enjoy. Prices: Average €125 per night"

"The Quays Bar and Restaurant, Galway|Courtesy of The Quays, Galway. The Quays may look like your quintessential traditional Irish pub from the outside, but its interior is surprisingly cosmopolitan. Parts of the décor were originally part of a medieval church in France, including the pews and a sizeable church organ – which acts as a backdrop for musical acts performing daily in the venue upstairs."

"As far as historical interior decorating goes, The Quays Pub has pretty much got the ‘cool’ factor locked down. The outside of this Galway pub is quaint and colorful, painted cream and deep blue with red window panes and hanging flower baskets adorning the outer walls. The inside, however, gets cooler the further you go in."

"With endless rooms and passageways, this enormous tavern has great vantage points from which to watch live music (mainly rock and country, with occasional trad sessions) every night. Much of its interior,..."

"Galway’s contemporary arts hub, the Galway Arts Centre is another revolving exhibition space that takes in an incredible array of local art and entertainment, including theatre and visual arts. The gallery is equally fluid, with a penchant for cartoony modern art and statement sculpture. There are classes, too, if you feel like getting your hands dirty."
