Galway (Ireland): Oslo (pub), review



Oslo is quietly located in front of the Salthill beach, 15 min walking distance from the city center. It's one of the few places that sell the locally brewed craft beer Galway Bay Brewery.




You can also have food here, vegan options include
- falafel burger with salad and home-cut chips
- Lentil Dhal
- hummus Salad (main course) 
- pita bread and hummus
- olives 



The falafel burger is delicious and highly recommendable.

Their craft beer range is naturally vegan except for the Buried at Sea beer which contains lactose (milk chocolate stout). 
You can have Full Sail (IPA), Bay Ale (Red Ale), Of Foam and Fury (double IPA) or Dortmunder Lager; or try one of their many guest beers from around the world (tap or bottle). You'll never have to repeat a beer here !

Actually finding vegan beer is very easy, most craft beers are vegan, forget the industrialized beer and go for small batches of craft beer; unless it's a stout (may get filtered through fish bladder) or have some milk or oyster flavor you should be fine. The usual ingredients in a beer are malt, yeast, water and hops and you can even find gluten free beer nowadays.
Happy days, beer and burger what else do you want by the beach? :)
