The Townhouse bar around the corner from McDonaghs I really really liked. It's a bit kitsch but they have Galway Hooker and gave me an extra drop of whiskey when I got a whiskey!
Basically, "where to go in Galway?" answer: anywhere that has Galway Hooker <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="

I refused to drink in places that didn't have it and left! I remember a place near the bus station that had Young's Double Choc in bottle and a few others but no Hooker. Can't remember the name.
Remember this though : Galway is a tourist town so you might get fleeced in a few places.
(though it's also a studenty town so you might end up getting the student experience!)
I love Galway.
