Opened in 1994 as a beacon of light for Galway’s DJ community, The Blue Note in Galway’s West End has constantly changed with the times to keep it as the cities best pre-club pub.

The constantly changing interior begins with a whiskey den or grab a snug if there is one free. A very special dance floor is filled at the weekends with regulars dancing to a mix of Electro, House and Disco from local DJ’s and international acts.

Outside you can choose from a Bavarian hunting lodge, Connemara Cottage or little Havana with live music on Thursdays and Sundays during the Summer.

Regular patrons of the bar fill the walls with a rotating art exhibition, murals and light boxes.

A long time favourite bar for back packers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city centre, free WiFi, board games and a book exchange make it the perfect place for planning your next adventure along the Wild Atlantic Way.
