After asking about events within Dublin on New Years Eve the answers didn't seem too promising, one answer however recommended Galway as a better destination. Can anyone give more information about New Years festivities within Galway, street celebrations, pubs, are tickets required for events - that sort of thing. Also if someone could recommend best location to stay within closeness of the festivities it would be most appreciated, many thanks to anyone who offers advice. Oh, we're a young(ish) couple aged 26 & 29. Thanks

I've spent 2 New Year's eves in Galway and had a great time. There was nothing organised in the way of Street Festivities or Public Celebrations though-and the weather was just TERRIBLE both times (I'm Irish so I'm used to the bad weather but it was just particularly awful). There should be no problem getting in anywhere ie pubs or clubs though you would have to book a fair bit in advance if you want to eat out.

I love Galway, we stayed in the Clybawn hotel which is in Salthill in galway,its a little bit quieter than the city, but just as much fun, bar in the hotel is great, you can check it out online

we visit galway often and actauuly have stayed at this place. be prepared for a cold miserable weather, sun sets very very early (4 ish). no parade or any such thing, go pub crawl, stop by at supermacs for a bite after 2 pm and crawl back to bed. location is very very good for all of this.

it relies upon what portion of Galway you're staying, if in the city terry's in Brennan backyard inn is effective or a sprint exterior the city is the Connemara coast inn the foodstuff is fairly stable and extra out in the village of spiddle some somewhat stable eating places and its nicely worth a bypass to besides
