    Pub fun!

    We had a fantastic time! Our guide Neil was a wealth of information with much history to share. We loved seeing pubs we would not have seen or known about without this tour.

    Great Experience with Orla

    Orla was amazing! She was so nice and just shared so much with us. We really enjoyed this tour. There were only two others on the tour, so it was smaller, which I think made it better.

    Walking tour, pubs and beer!

    Neil was an excellent host! Walking tour with great stories of Galway history, visited a selection of pubs and enjoyed ales from a local perspective!

    via Viator

    Cozy pub crawl!

    Good mix of creepy histories and good drinks, would recommend doing earlier in your trip rather than later so that you can get a better idea of local pubs and what’s best. Excellent drink recommendations, though

    Night Premium Galway Irish Craft Beer Tastings and Live Music: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Galway.

    How much does Night Premium Galway Irish Craft Beer Tastings and Live Music cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Galway usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Night Premium Galway Irish Craft Beer Tastings and Live Music take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Galway is not rushed.

    Is Night Premium Galway Irish Craft Beer Tastings and Live Music worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Galway, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Night Premium Galway Irish Craft Beer Tastings and Live Music?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Night Premium Galway Irish Craft Beer Tastings and Live Music suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Night Premium Galway Irish Craft Beer Tastings and Live Music?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Galway can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Galway and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Night Premium Galway Irish Craft Beer Tastings and Live Music start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Galway within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Galway?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Galway experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cliffs of Moher & the Burren Tour from Galway, Galway to Aran Islands Inisheer, Doolin, Cliffs of Moher Day Tour, Galway to Cliffs of Moher, Aillwee Cave & Dunguaire Castle Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Galway?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Galway?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Night Premium Galway Irish Craft Beer Tastings and Live Music?
