Great place. We went into The Quays for "one beer" and ended up sitting

there for 8.5 hours cause it was so awesome. The bartender recognized the VT on my shirt "Virginia Tech! I used to run McMahon's in Warrenton before coming home." What a great day that was. I consider Galway the greatest city on earth. Have fun!
