Most of the pubs are great and have a good crowd every night! Kings Head, Bazaar, The Quays, Front Door, and Monroes are all great spots. You can have an excellent night out any night of the week. Try the sandwich shop Delight for lunch, its the best in town.

“Review of NUIG Arts”
Rebecca T
Ireland, Undergraduate
Language, 2011
OverallI studied Law and there was zero work experience included or any mentorship on getting a job. My class graduated into the recession and it was a difficult number of years. I remember in first year having a female lecturer that would pick on students in the lecture theatre and make fun of them if they didnt know the answer, there was an element of fear. Overall I didnt feel NUIG prepared me for working life but it was a mixture of the course lacking in any practical experience, my bad choice of course and the recession.

The King's Head was and still is my fave pub around the city. And for a good nite out, CP's is the place! Anyway, everywhere in Galway is good craic! And you can go out every single nite of the week and be sure you'll find a great atmosphere...
