This Galway Trad Crawl is designed for those who want more than just a night out, it’s a fully guided introduction to the city’s legendary pub and music scene.

The experience kicks off at Mary Mullens Bar, where you’ll step behind the bar and learn how to pour your own Guinness the proper Irish way. As your pint settles, a Polaroid photo captures the moment, your first keepsake of the night. With live trad music already playing, you’re immediately immersed in Galway’s unique atmosphere.

From there, your guide leads you through the city, stopping at a curated selection of pubs known for their character, music, and welcoming vibe. At Darcy's Bar near Eyre Square, the social side of the night begins to take shape, with a relaxed environment perfect for conversation and connection.

Next, you’ll head into the West End to Carroll's Bar, where the focus shifts fully to the music. Here, you’ll experience a genuine trad session in a setting that feels untouched by tourism, just locals, musicians, and the rhythm of the night.

The crawl finishes at Monroe's Tavern, one of Galway’s most beloved live music venues. With another warm welcome and music in full swing, you’re free to stay and enjoy the rest of your night at your own pace.

This isn’t a scripted tour, it’s a natural, flowing Galway night out led by someone who knows the scene inside out.
