O’Connells Bar, Galway, Ireland.

O’Connell’s is a traditional-style pub with tons of energy. The bar feels like sitting inside a piece of history with stained glass windows, antique lighting, and a wall to wall whiskey display.

It’s a popular spot for after-work pints or a great night out. And the best thing about O’Connell’s: the massive outdoor beer garden. It looks like a mock street, with store fronts and a cobbled “street” leading from one end to the other. The garden features plenty of picnic-table style seating for when it’s nice out, as well as covered nooks and shelters with heating lamps. On Friday and Saturday evenings, there’s an outdoor bar open as well!

Swipe - Before and After

Arthaus developed the concept of creating an old vintage street front to be the focal point of O’Connells Beer Garden. Following completion of the internal fit out, we created Victorian shop fronts on ‘Gin Lane’ and ‘Beer Street’ to create an true Galway Landmark. This was the backdrop for Ed Sheran’s ‘Galway Girl’ music video.
