Opened in Summer 2007, Bar No 8 definitely brought something new to the Galway Pub scene . Inside Bar 8, it looks as though someone has decided to put a bar in an underground carpark. The walls and ceiling are uniformly grey, however the look works.The stout tables & wooden chairs fit well in the sparse surroundings. The small bar stocks a good range of drinks with beers such as Galway Hooker and Leffe on tap as well as the normal options. With the addition of a new Kitchen in 2009 Bar 8 has forged a growing reputation for the quality of its food which is available 7 days a week.

There is also a small Wine list although it is more than the majority of pubs plus there is a cocktail menu containing the usual suspects.  Billing itself as a live music venue as well as bar, the large room is adaptable for most events be it DJ or Live Band and  also occasionally salsa dancing. In January 08-Alabama 3 (remember the Sopranos theme) played a sold out charity event here.

No.8 is definitely something different for the Galway scene. Elements of a wine bar, tapas bar and New York underground bar are fused together to make a venue that really works. Bar No.8 is undoubtedly a great addition to the Galway Pub Scene
