Just had a great morning with Shane. He is a true professional, he analyses deconstructs and explains the process in the simplest way to allow the shooting process to become so natural. He even thought us some communication skills ! This is well worth doing.

Ireland's Smallest Comedy Club

In the heart of Galway's Latin Quarter, the best up-and-coming acts from Ireland and beyond, every Thursday. Doors 9pm, Show 9:30pm Free Pizza included. Online booking available through EventBrite (See Facebook page!).

Reviewed By Amyjeanos

My boyfriend and I visited this comedy club and it really was tiny! I would recommend coming early enough to make sure you have a comfy seat, as it really is small! The place was full and the atmosphere was great. The free pizza was from supermacs along with sausages and wedges (my boyfriend and I are vegan and were delighted to see wedges!) The host was absolutely hilarious, along with all the acts. Great value!

Eile Mental Activity Park

Eile Mental Activity Park, Furbo, is set in the beautiful Conamara region of Galway, Ireland and only 20 minutes from Galway City. Whatever the group... family, corporate, club, stag or hen, Eile Mental has activities that will excite, enliven and refresh you. We cater for ages 10 and over (no upper age limit), so if you think you can… then do! Customers can choose from a range of exciting and fun activities in a healthy and safe environment, from our “Battlefield” sports such as Laser Tag and Paintball, where teams could be capturing and holding an objective, storming a base or escorting a V.I.P. to an extraction zone, to our more relaxed field sports such as Archery, Disc Golf and Orienteering where both individual and team stamina, skill and intelligence is tested to the maximum. We are a wholly Irish owned and operated outdoor activities provider. Our instructors are from, or live in The Gaeltacht area of Conamara and our activities are conducted in both Irish and English.

Thanks to all the team at Eile Mental for a fantastic experience. It was really well set up and organised and in a cool location. We were a large group for a hen party (guys and girls) and everyone had great craic dressed in combat gear. The shooting and archery were brilliant and the staff were friendly and helpful. Thanks again, we will definitely be back!

Great Escape Rooms

The basic premise is simple: you enter the Great Escape Room, for 60 minutes you, and your team will become removed from your current day to day lives and be totally focused on nothing but escape.... Observe your surroundings, solves clues, work as a team and make the connections. Adrenaline kicks in - excitement, tension, focus, laughter and team work - creating an amazing experience. Opening hours- Monday to Sunday 1pm-7pm for bookings and walk-in's (7pm-10pm pre-bookings only). Book early to avoid disappointment.

Great fun was had escaping the Vault room! It was very well set up, challenging yet exciting having to think outside the box. We felt super safe regarding all things Covid. Would definitely return to do another room here, when in Galway again. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of making a booking and looking for a fun evening, 10/10. Thanks for looking after us Niall!

Asylroom - Escape the room Galway

Asylroom - Escape the Room - Galway is an immersive experience where a group of people are locked in one of the theme rooms and have to find their way out by solving the mystery... in 60 minutes. The 'Escape the Room' concept is a new form of entertainment. It's like a computer adventure game - except it's the real thing! We have four rooms available: Sherlocked, Se7en Sins, Da Vinci Code & Chernobyl. All of them are about the same level of difficulty so don't be afraid to choose any - or you can ask for a recommendation. Get your family, friends, team mates or colleagues and do it! Great fun is guaranteed. No one will be disappointed! Check out our Facebook profile and see hundreds of lucky teams who were able to escape.

Really enjoyed this went as a group of 4 and did the Chernobyl room. We managed to solve it with 4 minutes to spare (plus 2 hints). Really helpful and friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

Sean showed us (a stag party from the US) a great time and I definitely recommend Tom O’ Hawks as a stag activity or just to visit for some great fun! Worth the ride from Galway city! Sean was super hospitable once the event ended and deserves all of the glowing reviews on this website!
