All were beautiful with detailed workmanship. Prices were comparable. The small free museum inside had lots of information. It also had antique rings, the smallest Claddagh ring and many pieces of history. The staff were knowledgeable and nice.

The people who work at this store are extremely rude and like to embarrass their customers! I saw…read morethis store online and thought it would be great. I was shocked by the lack of customer service and rudeness. I would encourage you to look anywhere else for a Claddagh ring or any jewelry. I ended up not buying a Claddagh ring at all on my trip because of my experience with the woman at the counter. Wow!

Tigh Fox was the pub located above the hostel that I was staying at. I could hear the music when I…read morechecked in, so I decided to head down for a pint and to listen to some songs. There was a good mix of Celtic music (including songs everyone seemed to know the words to but me) and Johnny Cash. The next day I came back to Tigh Fox. There's no music in the day, but it was raining pretty fierce. When it's rainy (and cold) you want something warm to eat. I had bacon and cabbage. Pretty traditional type of dish. I really enjoyed it. This is a nice pub if you're in Galway. And it's only a short walk from the bus station and the train station. Definitely worth popping into for a drink or two.

I went with a large group of friends to the bar and later to a drag show at this venue. My only…read morecomplaint about the entire thing was there was some confusion about when the show started. The only time on the website/posters was "doors open at 8:30pm". Once there (around 8:30) we are told that the doors open at 10pm and the show will start at 11pm. Earlier in the night, we sat upstairs at large-table bench seating in a covered, semi-outdoor area with music. I enjoyed their Orchard Thieves apple cider, and from what I saw others got either beer, cider, or shots from the bar. Later we migrated downstairs to their club/stage area for the drag show. The Queens were absolutely fabulous and put on a wonderful show for us. It was a great night!

We stopped here for a pint before dinner and loved the atmosphere and service. The bartenders were…read morefriendly, kindly allowing me to charge my phone behind the bar and inviting us to their "birthday dinner" later in the evening (the pub turned 11 that night, and they were celebrating with a free barbeque and several live bands.) Compared to most Irish pubs, their beer selection was huge -- not only the standard Irish trio (Smithwicks, Carlsberg, Guinness) but also cider, microbrews and a decent number of bottles. They had a full bar as well. We didn't stay long, but I would love to return, and in fact this place is a big part of the reason we both want to stay longer in Galway on our next Irish voyage!

We were in Galway, Ireland for a long vacation. A quick Internet search found the Dartfield Horse…read moreMuseum in Loughrea. It's about an hour's drive with traffic. The facility has a Museum, but the real fun is the grounds around it. Think rolling Irish meadows - about 100 acres. They have trails for people that have never ridden before, water play area for the horses, and huge meadows with many jumps. My 16-year-old daughter has been riding for the past 5 years. She was in heaven. She rode Princess, a small white pony. That pony has some moves! She can jump her height. I'm 6'2" and they set me up with "Mr. Big". Cost was approx. $35/hour (the Euro is trading at 1.25/dollar) per rider, plus I gave a 20 Euro tip to our guide.

Instead, it was a mush of beef and potatoes and a side of apple crisp. It was served by an apathetic server, and put away before most had arrived for dinner. Definitely not worth what we paid.

We visited the farm today to make scones, learn a little about farm life and to learn about sheep…read morefarming. The visit started with pictures in front of the peat burning fireplace. The aroma coming from the fireplace was very interesting compared to a wood burning fireplace. You could visit several rooms in the farmhouse to get a feel for what it was like to live there. We then moved into a large room with tables and benches with all the materials for making scones laid out. Mary was our instructor that provided the step by step instructions to make our own scones. Once the batter was ready and the scones were ready for baking a number was assigned to your tray so that, once baked, they would come back to you for tasting. While the baking was going on, Fontana the farmer, took us out back and talked to us about sheep farming and the challenges they have. Fontana also provided a sheep dog demonstration with Bailey his sheepdog. Once that was completed we returned to the dining room to get our scones and try them out with some rhubarb-ginger jam and cream. We also hit a wool spinning demonstration which was very interesting and informative. Finished off with a visit to the gift shop to pick up some very reasonably priced items. If you want to have a uniques experience this is one you shouldn't miss.
