Food Scene
It's a tiny little restaurant near the docks. The food is Japanese and the desserts are really something special. A real treat if you like asian food.

Drinks & Nightlife
You can't beat O'Connell's bar for an authentic Irish bar experience. The staff are professionals, so no waiting around to be served. It looks like a small bar from the outside but it really opens up to the back with some cool decor. A must see.

Sightseeing
Most visitors don't go to Menlo castle as it is a little out of Galway. It's only about 3km from the city (just past my house). It's the ruins of a castle and it is settled on a beautiful spot beside the river Corrib. It's a nice way to spend an afternoon.
