Cross that bridge.
Located in one of the oldest parts of Galway with a history dating back
centuries, Galway’s West End or “The West”, as it is known locally, is
essentially that part of Galway that you arrive at when you cross one of
Galway’s famous bridges that lead away from the city centre towards the
sea with unique and original people.
Galway’s West End is home to some of the city’s best pubs including
Galway’s premier live music venues, trendy bars with contemporary djs and
the best traditional music venues in Galway. This side of the city also offers
the best dining Galway has to offer with an eclectic range of award winning
restaurants. There are also many thriving small businesses from the very old
to the very new, including specialty shops and diverse services.
Galway’s West End is saturated in culture with a strong and interesting
history, Irish speaking organizations and a fantastic arts scene including an
Arts centre, galleries, theatre and much more.
It’s that part of town that as a tourist you’re delighted to discover. It’s off
the beaten track and may take a bit of finding but when you get there you
know you’ve discovered the soul of the city, where the locals are maybe a
little bohemian and maybe a little eccentric, but always friendly.
So next time you’re out and about in the city, why not head down the West
and say hello, we’ll always say hi back.
