Galway is getting 'Ireland's largest gin parlour'

A gin parlour with 500 varieties of everyone’s current favourite tipple.

There’s no denying the popularity of gin in recent times and although some people might be over the craze, it’s still a very big deal in Galway.

So much so that Hyde, a new bar in the city centre, is opening on April 27 and we have a feeling it’s going to be a huge hit with both locals and tourists.

It sounds like the City of the Tribes might be just the spot for a little staycation with the girls or even a rare romantic break with your other half.

There’s Unicorn Gin on offer and the house pour at Hyde is going to be Bombay Sapphire with Fever Tree tonic.

There’s also a ‘flower wall’ containing over 7,500 flowers which will be the focal point of Hyde and again, you’ll be seeing a lot of that on social media.

The whole venue sounds like Instagram perfection with graffiti artist Kathrina Ruperit designing the striking murals which adorn the walls of the city’s newest bar.

Hyde wants to do things a little differently and their Gin Bible is sure to be a huge hit, explaining the extensive list of gins and the country each one originates from.

If you’re not into gin, fear not because there’s also a cocktail menu, local craft beers and Japanese beer on draft.

Step 1 complete. #Hyde
