dhat Topic Author Offline Posts: 240	I'll be in Galway at the weekend and I'm looking for the "must go to pub guide" for craft beer. Galway Hooker seems to be widely available so I'm looking for pubs that have other options also I've looked in the directory and my list so far is The Salt House The Bierhaus The Oslo Any other recommendations?

Look closely and you can see the Hooker paddle on the bar <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Actually the Bierhaus are separate owners.
The Oslo/Salthouse people also have a restaurant called Mustard down by the riverside that's very nice and does a good selection of beers.
Worth going to for some between pub grub or ya can just eat in the Oslo.
I wouldn't bother with Front Door or Quays tbh. Don't stock anything of interest at all, just the usual macro stuff in any other pub plus they're usually wedged and woefully uncomfortable.
Also O'Connells in Eyre Square has an ok selection plus it's a pretty cool bar, good mix of the old and new and the place to be is their beergarden on a sunny day.
