Since the Galway nightlife is the one I am most accustomed to , I will start with Galway's clubs. If anyone wants to review their local nightclub email me on shady@irishpop.zzn.com and we'll give it a slot!!!

So without further adue....

Bogarts!!

One of Galway's newest clubs, and one of my faves, Bogarts is a modern club, with phycadelic video screens, where they play a mix of chart and dance music. Promotions are a regular occurance--as is the dancefloor commentary dj--watch out for when he pours shots from the tops of the tables..... can you get the drink in your mouth without spilling any on top of yourself???? Bogarts is bringing Salthill back to life, and is highly recommended for those of you looking for a good night out in Galway!!! Attached to Breezers bar, it guarantees a good night out!!!

THE ALLEY

Situated in at the top of shop street , the Alley is an old favourite of Galway's. Modelled in a warehouse style, the music is Chart and Dance. The Alley has four different bars within itself, but beware, its quite difficult to get in without an I.d. (Tip: Speak Irish to the bouncer with the grey beard-- it never fails). The Alley can tend to be a bit of a "cattle market" , but if you're looking to score, you're unlikely to fail!!!!

G.P.O.

Different styles of music each night, the GPO is a great club for variety. With Drum and Bass nights, to rave and hardcore, and indie/dance , its best to check before you pay in. Sunday's are Murphys' comedy club night in the ajoining drum bar, and come highly recommended, for a good laugh and free addmittance into the GPO afterwards.

The BEST thing about the GPO HAS to be the "Shite Nights" which are held every bank holiday Monday. These are fancy dress nights out, with a certain theme, and previous themes have included Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Pjama parties, and many more!!!! Free entry to those in fancy dress-- and an experience NOT TO BE MISSED!!!! The GPO is on Eglinton Street, next to the Post Office!!!!

Cuba*

Another of Galway's new nightclubs, Cuba* in Eyre Square celebrated its first birthday party recently. Cuba* is a good option for those who can't decide whether they would like to see a live band or disco all night. Cuba has 2 different floors, so you can swap and change without much effort. (Unless you've had too much to drink that is, and can't make it up the stairs!!) Cuba* tends to be popular with foreign students, and those not from Galway, but for some reason it has never really established a good reputation with Galway's own crowd. Tuesdays nights have been given the title "Sushi" and are in accociation with NUIG and Johnny Moy Dj plays Tuesdays on a regular basis. I have one question though, that no one seems to be able to answer..... what's with the asterix??? (Cuba*)

More Galway clubs to soon be added....LIQUID, CENTRAL PARK, CHURCH LANE, AND THE WARWICK.
