Galway My name is Damien Cunningham and I’m going to fly through a tour of some of my favourite spots in Galway city. Having lived in the city for the bulk of my 20’s, I’m very passionate about this small little spot where I spent many of my younger years. Galway is home and also where I made many lifelong friends studying at GMIT. A small city which packs a serious punch, and attracting more and more tourists every year, we are certainly becoming a ‘must visit’ destination on the map of Ireland. A large part of this is due to the friendliness and unique blend of culture found in the city. Despite the incredible diversity, what I love about the city is the nooks and crannies which give of a resounding feel of ‘home’ and ‘old Ireland’.

Let’s get into some recommendations for that long weekend you’re going to plan in the West.
I’ll start with a classic. The Quays Bar, Quay Lane, Galway.
The Quays ticks off a lot of the essentials for me when looking to have a good night out on the town. A bar renowned throughout the country for its continuously incredible listing of live music. The best musicians throughout the country have graced the famous stage and with live music every day from 6pm, you can’t go wrong. The bar focuses on rock and trad music.
Located on Quay Street, The Quays is bang in the middle of the action. Enter through the doors, however, and there is something for everyone. A cosy snug to rest your feet and enjoy a quiet drink, a barman with a friendly ear and sharp wit serving pints and banter, and for the more energetic, a mobbed dancefloor that never seems to let up! The Quays is the quintessential Galway experience, whether it’s a race week trip with the lads or a night on the town for cocktails with the girls.
