Full Description
The Galway Trad Pub Crawl
The Trad Crawl is a lively guided pub experience through Galway’s famous West End, visiting four traditional pubs with live music at every stop. Starting from Mary Mullens Bar, guests are brought through some of the city’s most respected trad sessions, the same pubs local musicians gather in throughout the week.
Rather than staged performances or tourist-focused venues, this experience offers an authentic introduction to Galway’s traditional music culture. Guests learn how to pour their own Guinness at the first pub before enjoying a drink at each stop along the route, with live trad music and local atmosphere throughout the evening
Social, entertaining and genuinely local, The Trad Crawl has become one of Galway’s standout nightlife experiences, and one many visitors say is the highlight of their trip to Ireland.
