logistics

Where would you recommend for (food, swimming, ice cream, sight seeing, drinks, traditional music...)

Check out this map which lists important locations for the tournament, and our favourite places to go around the city.

Where should I book accommodation?

We recommend booking accommodation as soon as possible to secure an affordable option in the city center. Galway is a small city with many events on in August.

The shuttle bus will pick players up in the city center at the bus stop outside Kinlay Hostel in Eyre Square and then make a quick stop to grab more players at the bus station on Headford Road across from Dunnes.

Explore this map to see important tournament locations such as shuttle pick up points and party locations.

Where are the parties?

Explore the party locations and more on our tournament map.

🍻 Friday night at 9pm join us at The Skeff Bar on Eyre Square! You'll find us upstairs when you arrive - just follow the Tribal Gathering flags!

🌈 Starting 8pm on Saturday night, head to the West Side of Galway (what we'd argue is the best side). You'll enter the famous Monroe's pub from the Monroe's Live side door to access our exclusive party area.

🐬 Sunday join us for a post-tournament dip at the famous Blackrock Diving Tower, and a few drinks and snacks to follow at The Oslo in the seaside Salthill village.
