The Best Pubs in Galway on a Stag Party Weekend

Let’s be honest here for a moment, lads. One of the big reasons you’re going on a Galway Stag Party is for the nightlife. More specifically, the pubs and bars are going to facilitate taking the stag himself to a whole new level of drunk. Sure, you have to give him a proper send off! Galway has tons of brilliant stag party activities on offer, lads. But one of this city’s real treats is its amazing pub scene. So, here’s what I think the Best Pubs in Galway on a Stag Party weekend are.

Let the debate begin I suppose, but these are my choices, lads. If you feel a particular pub should be on the list, do get in touch.

Roisín Dubh

First on my list is a bar/club and an absolute mad spot any night I’ve been in there. Never a bad night in here, lads, and there will be an element of sadness when it’s eventually time to leave it. So until that point, enjoy quality pints, music, top staff and craic.

O’Connors Famous Pub

This pub is famous for a reason. It’s up in Salthill and well worth the stroll out to it to enjoy a cure or two…or three. It’s a proper traditional Irish pub with great pints, chats and, depending on the time you’re there, brilliant live music. I always find it hard dragging myself away from this pub. I suspect you will, too.

Freeney’s

If you’ve never been to Galway before, you could quickly walk past this great little pub. That’s because from the outside it doesn’t really look like a pub. But lads, don’t judge a book by its cover. Pop inside, and you’ll find another great Irish pub that hasn’t changed much down through the years. Also, it’s worth noting, lads. The pint of Guinness in here is savage, and I’m not a Guinness drinker!

The Quays

The next bar on our list is the Quays. This is arguably Galway’s most well-known popular late bar, and it’s located smack bang in the middle of Galway. It always has brilliant live music and serves up some top pints. Earlier in the day, you’ll also be able to pick up a tasty munch. For soakage purpose of course. It’s busy most nights, lads, and there is a savage mix of locals, tourists and stags & hens too.

Monroe’s

Monroe’s is widely known throughout Galway and Ireland as being a great live music venue. It also has a quality selection of beers and is a top spot to watch a match on the big screen.

Tigh Neachtain

Really couldn’t have a best pubs in Galway list without Tigh Neachtain. 130 years of history, this pub is full of character, snugs, great music and delicious pints. This would be my go-to for the second day on a Galway stag party as you search for the second wind to attack the night ahead over a pint.

Tig Cóilí

Well worth stopping in here for a pint, lads. It would be rude not to, in fairness. One of the best atmospheres you’ll come across in a pub in Galway. Always a decent crowd and live trad music on pretty much every night of the week in there. And whatever you’re favourite drink is, you’ll be served up a fine pint of it.

Bierhaus

The Bierhaus is a pub for the lovers of craft beers. They have a huge selection of local beers, beers from breweries across Ireland and of course plenty of imported international ales, pale ales and beers. They also do some quality pub grub here lads and does have a spot of live music from time to time. A very relaxing vibe and atmosphere to enjoy a beer.

The Front Door

If you’re looking for a lively spot, lads, then pop over to the Front Door. As I mentioned, it’s a lively spot but has a great atmosphere. It’s also a late bar, which is never a bad thing, and the DJs they get in always get the place hopping.

An Púcán

Last on my list is An Púcán gents. You’ll find this terrific pub just off Eyre Square. Not that Eyre Square is short of quality pubs anyway. This pub has won a couple of awards down through the years. A top spot for trad music and there is a session most night. They also do great pub food, have a decent selection of Irish craft beers and pull a good pint. A solid place to enjoy a few beers during the day on a Galway stag party.

So, there you have it lads the Best Pubs in Galway on a Stag Party Weekend in my opinion. There are so many others that this list could have gone on for pages. But one thing is guaranteed: you are in for one hell of a Galway stag party weekend if you hit up any of the spots on this list.
