Forget the traditional stout beer for just one night: you can find amazing alternatives at The Black Sheep.
The place is not far from the city centre, a nice and cosy pub to hang out on the weekend to avoid the crowded Tempe Bar or just to have a nice, cold beer after work. Hungry? Then have both lunch and dinner there, they have amazing food choices as well.
The Black Sheep is part of the Galway Bay Brewery, so that you can be sure to find really good quality beers at a fair price. They have 23 craft beers on tap to choose from as well as some bottled beer. You definitely can't get it wrong in any way, even if you're not a beer expert. Plus, they have some fancy glasses: this will be so good for your Instagram account:
If you have the chance, have the Five Lamps, a good, classic lager beer from a local brewery. If you're having pizza, this will definitely be the best choice for your drink.
Planning a friends night? The Black Sheep is the place to go, then. Just enjoy some good board games with your beer, you can choose among a whole bunch of them
for free. Is there anything better than boardgames and beer? Probably not.
