The 30 best bars and drinks in Sligo

It was a friend’s Birthday and our Waitress Nicole made it extra special with her exceptional service. Food was outstanding and very generous portions. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning. Very happy customer.

Would've given it 7 stars if I could. The service was impeccable - the guys opened the lane for us and our two doggies. The guiness was fresh and the food was unbelievable! Irish pub cosine elevated to a Michelin star reataurant level. Highly recommended!

Absolutely spectacular!!! This bread was the best bread I've ever tasted. It was even better than anything I've ever made myself. I can't believe how good it was. The lamb shank was very tasty and the carrot and parsnip puree was out of this world. I'm not usually a fan of puree, but this was fantastic. The hot red cabbage was a nice balance to the lamb shank, potatoes mash and gravy. I must say, this place gets 5 stars from me!!!

Visited with my sister and fiance and I have to say 10/10 no notes at all. I was stuck between two wines they brought a taster of both. I ordered steak rare got it perfectly rare served with mash, baked potatoes, creamed carrots and pickled red cabbage absolutely delicious didn't finish it all. Despite being busy the server was diligent and checked in at all the right intervals I can say expensive as it was the quality and service was UNMATCHED would happily pay the same money again in a heartbeat but would go in hungrier next time so as to try their dessert menu

Professional feeling restaurant establishment. Feels like a good place for family and business occasions. Nice, friendly and accommodating staff.

I loved the atmosphere 😍 cosy and lovely place. For starter, I ordered Tortillini, the main dish was beef, and the desert was a mix of tiramisu, creme brulle, and fruit cake with coffee. even though beef was a medium cooked one, it was one of the most delicious food 🥰 portions of main and starter were so big but desert was small. I absolutely recommend it 😊

Great spot! We've been a couple of times already and plan on going back. The restaurant was closed in January, but the food at the pub is also great! I had the chicken parmigiana and it was delicious, the breast was perfectly breaded and still moist, which is no easy feat. It was laid on a bed of pasta and well made tomato sauce, and covered with cheese. I loved the detail that they give you a spoon for the linguini, which in many places (even Italian ones) I have to ask for in order to eat it properly. The fish pie had a lovely filling and sauce, and the apple pie for dessert was scrumptious. The day was cold, but the place was warm and had a lovely fireplace on. Espresso Martini was well made. Definitely recommend!

Outstanding meal. The honey and lime baked salmon was delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the peas and carrots were crisp and fresh. The spinach and parmesan salad was a small side but fresh as well. Pecan coffee mousse was light and flavourful. Service was attentive and the atmosphere was very cozy. All around great experience.

Amazing atmosphere with live music. Very kind staff. The pub has a very cool traditional wooden interior. We even got a separate dining room if that's what you want.The lamb stew was amazing. I just would have liked a bit more mashed patatoes in it. It was pretty busy, so if you are a bif group, I would recommend making a reservation beforehand. They immediately offered us a free bottle of cold tap water, which was very convenient. They have baby portions, which are a very nice thing to have. Especially if you have a baby so you don't have to share. I would definitely recommend this place when visiting Slego!

A cool, older pub in Sligo. The drinks and food were excellent, The ambiance was great, staff was friendly and attentive, and the space was clean. Highly recommend a stop in.

Delicious meal and fast service! Really enjoyed the seafood chowder and brown bread.

It was recommended for food by another bar in Sligo, but my husband's hake, mashed potatoes and snap peas a disappointment. Hake dry and mushy, poatoes over whipped and snap peas were big pods, peas past their best. I had mussels and they were delicios a whole kilogram. Waiter could be more attentive. Atmosphere dark and seating very uncomfortable for dining.

I only had Guinness here but it was excellent and the hospitality was also top notch. Lovely pub in Sligo. Next time I’ll try the food.

great to sit in a genuine pub, good food. best to book

We just walked in not really knowing what to expect. Paul behind the bar was immediately welcoming. A Guinness was ordered with a whiskey chaser and so the evening continued. We were grateful for Paul's knowledge and advice. The music which started later was to the highest standard. If you visit Sligo. This bar is a must do.

Absolutely loved Thomas Connolly Pub! Such a charming spot right by the river, full of history and character. The atmosphere is warm and authentic — you can really feel the stories in the walls. A must-visit when in Sligo!

Welcomed by waiter, Paul, awesome guy there. Very authentic, old pub in the heart of Sligo. Very good vibe with lots of history. He showed us very old bottles and equipement too. Highly recommended!

Some of the best Irish whisky bar in Sligo . We had a chance to catch up with the owner and he gifted us one of their society whisky releases . The people at the bar had some great recommendations for Irish whisky and beer . Great place to chill with friends , they also had live music while we were there . Slainte

Thomas Connolly Pub in Sligo is a charming, historic spot known for its warm atmosphere, live music, and excellent whiskey selection. As Sligo’s oldest pub, it blends tradition with vibrant local culture. A perfect place to relax, enjoy a pint, and soak in authentic Irish hospitality. Highly recommended.

In a town with several very good pubs this is the great one. Beautiful, great staff, top notch whiskey selection and on any given day the best pint to be found in Sligo. This would be my local.

Great pub in the centre of Sligo. With historic touch and great atmosphere. Great to enjoy a drink with view on the river

This place was highly recommended but did not really live up to the buzz for me. It was very small and there was no visibility of the musicians. The barman was alone and very busy but also a little intolerant of anyone who didn’t know exactly what they wanted as he seemed too busy to talk you through your options. Not every visitor is Irish and knows what to ask for. There was no food and very little seating as it was packed.

Shoot the Crows was on our list of pubs to visit while we were in Sligo, it did not disappoint. The interior was cozy and inviting and the Guinness was fabulous. The barman/owner was very busy, however, noticing that we were Americans, he took time to chat with us. We only wish we could have such a place in the States.

Very cute old Irish bar with some reallllyy delicious Guinness! The ladies cubicle with the two toilets is incredible - wish more bars had these!

Small and very busy place. One of the best pints in town. Needs to be on your list for that reason alone.

One of the best, if not the best, pubs in Sligo.

Just walked in randomly..what a pub hard to explain you just have to try it. The Guinness is excellent

Rad locals bar in Sligo with a gorgeous fireplace, friendly bartenders and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The husband and I were on our 11 day backpacking honeymoon (from Washington State, USA) and happened in here - I cannot recommend it enough.

New to sligo and this place but it was an absolute pleasure visiting this place. Food and service was best and the ambience lighten up the vibe which only this place can present. Thank you so much for the amazing experience and hope to visit someday soon.

Swagman Bar is a fantastic spot for great food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the service was impressively quick. The chowder was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious, while the fish and chips were perfectly cooked and satisfying. It’s also a great place to enjoy a few pints with friends, the vibe is laid-back and comfortable, making it an ideal stop whether you’re in for a meal or just drinks. Highly recommend!

First time visit to Sligo. Went here for dinner on a Thursday eve. Place was busy but staff super friendly and attentive. Lovely pub and nice atmosphere. Their non alcohol craft beer is delicious too! Food portions are huge and I took what I couldn’t eat home. Loved our time here.

Aussies in an Aussie pub in Ireland, it’s upside down world. Staff are super friendly and beer was nice and cold. Prepare to disrobe as it is super hot inside. The chicken dish was amazing, burger not so much. Well worth popping in for a pint, sit outside in the fresh air.

Great pub atmosphere and whiskey selection. Friendly staff and good food. Plenty of beer, ale and cider.

Came to drink a beer and eat a fish and chips. It was so good. Thank you so much. See you

To be honest, I'm shocked. Such a beautiful and themed bar, but the service is simply not worth it and one. We ordered dishes, didn't have time to finish them, and 50% came back to the table and the waiters had already taken them. Then the bill indicated dishes and beer that we did not order. A big request to the owner of the pub to do some work with his staff. We will not come there again. The evening is ruined.

I was here for a hen party with fifteen. Staff were very good and professional with different large parties in. No big waits in-between courses. Food was alright, no big complaints. The ice cream and brownie were lovely with the dessert but nobody was sure on the third one.

The Embassy Steakhouse delivered on every level. The atmosphere was warm and cosy – perfect for a relaxed evening out. As soon as I sat down, I was given a complimentary bread basket, which was a really nice touch while I waited for my food. For starters, I had the mussels – they were excellent. Great flavour, and the sauce was rich and delicious without being too heavy. For the main, I went with the T-bone steak, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. The flavour was spot on, and the sides paired really well with the dish. Overall, just really good food in a welcoming setting. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for quality dining in a comfortable atmosphere.

Appetising and flavourful food, excellent service with an amosphere of genuine cordiality. Extremely pleasant experience

A fantastic experience, this restaurant is one of the best in Sligo. We couldn't fault it, they have great size glasses of wine! We had a delicious complimentary bread board while we were waiting for food. This is one of the undiscovered gems in the Sligo food scene, be sure to try it 😋

Thanks to Avril and all the staff at The Embassy for a really enjoyable evening. Great service, food and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend for any occasion, we’ll definitely be back!

The service was excellent, friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the food didn’t meet expectations. While the sides were quite nice, the steaks lacked flavor and had a bitter aftertaste. The sauces were also underwhelming, tasting very similar and reminiscent of instant seasoning.

Excellent food, value, service and overall experience. Staff are great.

On Saturday just gone, I walked into that pub for the first time in five years, and it was like arriving home again. Food was as good as I remember and the drink still flows freely. Would recommend to anyone in Sligo.

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Staff are attentive and chatty on a nice way. Definitely recommend the place and we will return in the near future.

Had to travel to Knock airport from Enniskillen to collect our daughter, a friend recommended the Belfry, for great food, so we stopped on the way home. Wow what a spot, we were greeted by the very friendly barman, whom we now know is the bar manager Cian. His knowledge was second to none, the menu was reasonably priced, my wife had the Steak Sambo, daughter had Buffalo chicken and I had the Cajan burger. The food was just amazing. I would recommend this wonderful establishment to anyone, and we will definitely be back sooner rather than later. Oh I forgot to mention pints are reasonably priced as well.

Lots of screens to watch the game but this sports bar is massive and has too many areas open to be understaffed or not have call buttons at the table. Staff could easier fill condiments or pre-open if customers weren't so spread out at opening. We had to get up to order food/drink and were not checked on after food came. That said, the burger was surprisingly good (not well done/overcooked!!), Onion rings were well battered and golden, wings have a nice kick of spice without losing flavor. Guinness wasn't great, unfortunately ... Bitter/not fresh. We'll try again assuming it was just an off day for service since the food was good.

We recently held our daughters 18th birthday party here, from the initial booking right up to the night the staff couldn’t do enough for us, our expectations were exceeded and everyone had a fantastic night, food was delicious and overall everything was perfect, fantastic venue to hold a party, special mention of gratitude to Fergal, Cian and Martin who went above and beyond on customer service, we will definitely be back, 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Only went in for a drink. Had a great night. Met some locals but Cian the bar manager was great, had such great knowledge of whiskeys that 1 drink turned into 5/6( whose counting). Whiskey connoisseur 10/10. Would recommend even on a wet rainy night.

Not even deserving of a single star I had one of the most appalling experiences at The Belfry in Sligo. I came in simply wanting to play pool or snooker, but what I encountered was blatant racism. Staff told us—Black customers—that the tables were “kept for regulars,” refusing to let us play even though the tables were empty and no one was using them. We weren’t even allowed to play while they waited for their so-called “regulars.” This kind of discriminatory behavior is disgusting and unacceptable in any establishment, let alone one that claims to be welcoming. It’s 2025, and yet some places still think it’s okay to treat people differently based on the color of their skin. Shame on The Belfry. They don’t deserve a single star.

Having a full Irish breakfast, and some sandwiches and pancakes, not bad! The price was fair, the food was nice. Although I wouldn't have minded a slightly bigger portion. It wasn't really impressive for something called Full. The food was good, and delicious. Although it was a regular weekday, it was very busy, we had to wait for somewhat 15-20 minutes, before we were seated, and once seated, we had to wait somewhat 10 minutes before we could order. But with the location and the atmosphere, it was absolutely worth it. Beautiful location, and very cosy with all the people around you. Although it was busy, it wasn't too loud, and you could easily have a good conversation with your partner. There was even seats outside, alongside the river, very beautiful. I would absolutely recommend coming here for having a good coffee or tea, and then have a cake or anything, but the lunch is rather on the cheap side. Maybe not for a next time, but the cake and tea, absolutely yes!

I can't explain how much we loved the restaurant, it was a fantastic evening... We went with a group on Thursday. We ordered all the menu set to try them. The staff were so friendly and nice. The music was amazing, the players were so professional....I absolutely recommend it and I'll go back as soon as I find free time to enjoy my evening I recommend to reserve your table in advance so you have a secured place to sit specially on Thursdays that they have live music

We stopped by to have breakfast and we couldn't be happier about our decision. The breakfast was amazingly good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The views from the cafe are also spectacular. You can be drinking coffee beside the river. I truly recommend this place.

Friendliest people you could meet working there - particularly brown haired man (Monday 23/06). Great coffee & delicious eggs. I was awkward and ordered the eggs Benedict without ham (am vegetarian) & they happily offered kale and mushrooms instead. Top class service and delicious food. Lovely to sit outside by the river. 10/10 recommend!

I spent around €18 at Osta Café and Wine Bar for a solo lunch, and it felt like money well spent. I ordered the toasted goat cheese and beetroot sandwich, which was rich and full of flavour — the kind of combination that’s clearly thought out and not just thrown together. Alongside it, I had a flat white that was smooth and strong, just right for a midday pick-me-up. Finished it off with a fresh scone served warm with butter and jam — light, crumbly, and absolutely hit the spot. The atmosphere at Osta is calm and classy, but still very welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you can relax by the riverside and take your time. Whether you're stopping in for coffee or sitting down for a longer meal, it feels just right — not too formal, not too casual. Service was solid too. The staff were friendly without being over the top, and they had everything out in good time. You can tell they’re used to regulars and treat new faces just the same — with a bit of warmth and a smile.

Very cute café by the river with a nice view. They even make pancakes without bacon if you ask, waitress very friendly. Definitely coming back!

****Original review of 2 stars**** I stopped a local on the street and asked where would she recommend for lunch and she pointed out here so off we set. My husband and I and two kids both under the age of 4 secured a table outdoors at about 2.30pm on Wednesday. We asked for a highchair which we got. We waited a few minutes for menus then we decided on our order. A waitress came to take our order: we originally were going to order soup of the day, open ham sandwich and croque monsieur. We were told that there was no longer soup available or any ham left so we couldn't order either the ham sandwich or croque monsieur. She asked did we want another few minutes to decide, we said yes. Nearly 10 minutes later when there was no sign of the waitress, I waved at another to take our order. Order taken of chicken and spring onion Mayo sandwich@ €6.75; 3 egg omelette with all listed toppings @ €10.50; Breakfast bap €7.20; 2x Babyccinos €1.80; Americano €2.50 & Cappucino €3.20. Coffees arrived relatively promptly in dribs and drabs-Americano 1st, then the Babyccinos but I had to ask for the Cappucino. After 15 minutes of a wait after the last drink arrived, we had to ask where the food was as the kids were getting restless and we were ravenous. Others who came in after us who were seated indoors got served before us. At this stage, we asked how long more our food would be and were told a lot of orders came in together. We were on the verge of leaving. We were told 10 more minutes, I pointed out that my Cappucino was long gone at this stage thinking they may offer another, they didn't. Only after we complained and asked how long more did our food eventually arrive, 30 minutes after we ordered and 40-45 minutes after we had originally sat down. When a different waitress dropped it down, I said we thought the wait had been ridiculous and we were very disappointed & that it wasn't good enough. She apologised. The food was excellent to be fair once we got it but the good had gone out of the meal. I went to pay and told the girl that we were happy with the food but the wait was far too long and was told that they were short staffed today and that we should have been told when we ordered. I said because of this I wasn't leaving a tip. She said she understood. Service needs serious improvement. Staff came across as inexperienced and offered no redress. I wouldn't return nor recommend as a result. *********5 star 2nd review********* Redress kindly & promptly offered by owner after our first experience here so 2nd visit in a week by my husband and I and two kids. Everyone has off days and moments. Today, we ordered 3 egg omelette with all the trimmings, Eggs Osta and half portion of pancakes with maple syrup to share for the kids, a Cappucino, an Americano and two glasses of milk for the kids. Service matched the excellent food on this occasion. My husband said it was the best breakfast (Eggs Osta) he had had in a long time and my omelette was delicious. Keep up this standard of service and thank you.

Great pub with a welcoming atmosphere, a nice menu, and a good choice of drinks. The live music was a great touch too. The chicken curry and the burger were both amazing—full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Just a heads up, the portions are huge! We originally planned to have dessert, but after finishing our meals, there was simply no room left. Definitely excellent value for money and worth a visit.

I don’t usually leave reviews but had to leave one here. What a wonderful little place! My first time in Sligo and this was an amazing way to finish the trip. Absolutely gorgeous food, fresh, colourful, the portions are huge and the staff is extremely friendly and nice. My only advice is - if you’re running late don’t order food here because it’s freshly cooked and you have to wait for it to cool down, however the taste of it is worth missing the train!

During our visit to Sligo we asked a few locals to recommend the best place for a Sunday Roast. The universal reply was The Harp. There were a number of Sunday specials in addition to the regular menu. The food was very good. The staff welcoming and sincerely interested in the customer without being intrusive. Reservations for Sunday dining are a good idea. Highly recommended.

Ann and the gang are always so help and always fine a place for you even when very busy. The food is always fantastic never had a bad experience here and been there many times highly recommended. The menu has something for everyone and if that doesn't suit they usually have a variety of specials on.

A real gem in Sligo The Harp Tavern is a cosy traditional Irish pub with a warm welcoming atmosphere. The food is incredibly fresh and full of flavour — the roast beef is the best in town. What really makes this place special is the staff — they are some of the friendliest and most genuine people you’ll meet, always happy to help and full of local charm. You’re made to feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. A must-visit in Sligo.

Just ate here tonight, we had the steak sandwich, spring rolls and bbq chicken wings. Great value and the food was absolutely amazing. Staff were so friendly and welcoming and prompt service! There is a really chill vibe in the place. We will definitely be back again!!

Great pizza! They had Murphys but not Beamish sadly. It is pretty hard to find Beamish the more north you go though. Sept 12, 2024.

Had Roast dinner and couple of pints. Food was top class and plentiful. Service was quick and very friendly staff made the experience very enjoyable. Pipers playing live when we arrived created a lovely atmosphere and live music later. Decor and cleanliness was impeccable and I've never been in a pub with so many TV screens. This place is unreal.

I recently visited Gracie’s Bar in Sligo, and I must say it’s quickly become one of my favourite spots in town. From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere was warm and buzzing — friendly chatter, great music, and people clearly having a good time.

Awesome party. Huge pub, decent food and live music. ❤️

I’m really disappointed with how my cousin and I were treated at this pub. My cousin is autistic, and instead of showing any understanding or patience, the staff were rude and dismissive toward her. We were made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, which completely ruined what was meant to be a nice night out… Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and kindness — especially those who might experience the world differently. I’d really hope the management takes this seriously and provides proper training to their bouncers especially on how to treat all customers with understanding and empathy. We definitely won’t be returning until we know that’s changed. Literally pushing my autistic cousin out at the end of the night which nearly made her fall down the stairs of this pub!

Lovely, lively pub, with lots of different seating areas. Had food upstairs, which was delicious, loads of gluten free options. Staff were v friendly, servers Rachel & Laura couldn't have been more helpful. Trad music playing when we arrived , followed by live music. Super atmosphere. Would have loved to stay longer!!!

The best nights craic! Great music, food is fab (recommend the spice bag) lovely helpful and pleasant staff, the atmosphere is just electric! Can't wait to visit again!

Do not recommend, bar staff can’t be bothered making cocktails and tell you there’s no glasses left (bad excuse), glasses are dirty and pint of coors is flat. Don’t be in a rush to get a drink because you could spend 40 minutes at the bar.

Very bad experience, our group spent a substantial amount of money and were treated awfully. The bar staff were very nice but the bouncers need some training. As soon as the music stopped the bouncers started shouting and swearing at us to get out; the lights hadn’t even turned on and we hadn’t even had time to stand up from where we were sat before they started shouting at us. If you wanted to attract more customers this is not the way to behave - shameful

Tried to take a seat outside where many people were sitting. Bouncer came over being very ignorant telling us "it's half 12 no sitting " with a very ignorant attitude even though it was 12:07 while violently ripping seats from under us. As we left in disbelief he then pointed us out to his colleagues as if we were some sort of scum. Now 1am and people still sitting outside there. There is a way to speak to customers and this is not the way, not impressed and won't be back or recommend this dump 👎

Been going to The Garavouge for under 4 years now , as a student on midweeks and occasionally on the weekends I see many things and used to good surroundings , until last Monday the 19th May, the treatment me and my friends got was nothing short of a disgrace, from bar staff questioning our orders of what drinks we want without any integrity and a lack of professionalism, whilst making cheeky comments under the tongue and to bouncers for vile unnecessary aggressive behaviour. Being asked to leave in an aggressive attitude making verbal threats was definitely not a pleasant experience and took the enjoyment out of the night. What’s more frustrating is the fact we were separated from our group for no reason at all. What happened to ‘The customer is always right’ very poor communication and a lack of humility , won’t be returning shame end to the association in this pub

The bouncers — both the bearded one and the older man — are aggressive, and the bar staff are completely unprofessional. The manager is just as bad, showing no regard for customers. They don’t respect the people who come in or even the promotions they advertise themselves. This place shouldn’t be allowed to stay open.

Rude staff throwing us out of our seats, claiming it's past 00:30. Was barely midnight. Didn't mind being told to leave but the way staff treated us was severely, and I really mean severely, hateful and rude. We're simply trying to sit down, why so unprofessional and rude.

Outside bouncer was very rude, aggressive and borderline violent. Would need a lesson on how to talk to customers. No doubt he is ruining a lovely establishment.

Greatest bar in slifo. Staff is unbelievable and good reviews. I’d recommend for hem or a stag

10 out of 10. Two attentive ladies on the bar today. Friendly, speedy service

I recently visited Lillies Cocktail Bar in Sligo and had a fantastic experience. I tried the Flirtini, Spicy Margarita, Mai Tai, and Whiskey Sour—all expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. The service was attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the evening. The ambiance was elevated by lovely live music, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Lillies truly stands out as a top spot for cocktails and live entertainment in Sligo.

I had my husband 50th party upstairs in Lillie’s on Saturday night. The room was perfect for our group of 40, very pretty and super comfortable. Staff were so helpful and attentive making sure we had everything we needed and kept checking in with us all night. The food was excellent our guest all complimented the quality and the portions were very generous. All the staff were great but a special thank you to Jamie and Laura who went above and beyond for us. I can’t recommend this venue enough!!!

A 'must visit' on your Sligo stay. Live music every night. Styled to be like a retro sitting room. See can you grab the coveted couch by the fire!! One of the countries most respected cocktail bars. Extremely high quality cocktails made by professional mixologist. The live music line up has a mix of 1 Piece acts to full on 6 piece bands rocking the place. Sundays are their most legendary gigs with the 'Sunday Roast' band jamming the place. But each night you go in, they have quality music. Upstairs is a lovely space and they sometimes host comedy or specialist music gigs there.

Fantastic night, a fun-loving crowd, and a superb band. Nothing but good, peaceful vibes. No trouble in this funky little spot. Bar staff friendly and attentive, always making us feel welcomed.

Great service. Lovely place to relax and rewind. It's nice to sit outside and watch the world go by.

Amazing staff, amazing cocktails and a great vibe with amazing music! Incredible knowledge for drinks and incredible service

Really enjoyed a few hours here over the weekend. Good music and great selection of drinks. There cocktails are very good. Freshly made in front of you. Only problem was only one person making the cocktails and I was waiting 25min for one. But it was very nice.

The place was very popular. Really busy bar. Nice surroundings with amazing design.

Nice staff, good polite bouncers, and very kind clientele. Visited several times and it's always a nice and wholesome environment.

Went Bourbon bar during the June bank weekend. Lively bar in the centre of Sligo town Great atmosphere music and drinks and a good selection of seating throughout. They also had a good range of drinks and cocktails & offers. Would recommend.

Busy or quiet, staff always helpful and fast to serve your drink so you're not waiting ages to be seen to. Great place to socialise very friendly atmosphere, good music security staff are friendly too. This is definitely the place to go on a night out!

Had a few cocktails with friends outside, the staff were lovely and didnt mind our wee dog. One of the staff called James was especially nice and brought a bowl of water for our dog. Would visit again.

Fantastic bar with a great atmosphere. Some great tunes and an even better drinks menu. The cocktails are made by magicians and staff happy to recommend a new taste to you.

10/10 lads. Thanks for a great night on Saturday for a big bunch of us. Service and pints were top notch. Cheers

Great spot. Good bar with top pints. Very good music session,traditional/bluegrass. Highly recommended. Staff sound and lots of different areas. Not to be missed.

Great "little" pub on a side lane off the center of Sligo. Great traditional Irish music session. Nice snugs and crannies. Good drinks and easy to meet nice people from all over the world... Recommended.

The Barman was wonderful -- he introduced me to some outstanding whiskies. The music was superb -- Leonard Barry led the sesh on the night I was there. Class, all the way around.

Serious spot in Sligo! A gem of Ireland. Great for live music, pints and whiskey.

Beautiful old pub. Barmen and patrons alike were very welcoming to my family and me. The music was wonderful. Such a great, authentic experience!

Great place if you love traditional Irish music and pub life

Great bar to watch a United game. The Guinness is class, great bunch of people, sound is up for the game. Excellent atmosphere. 👏👏

First time arriving at this pub, never had a beverage before inside and was told to leave as "manager"said I had too many drinks and I did not have any alcohol before arriving in any other pub !manager was very rude !

Had a lovely pint of Heino :-)

Traditional Irish bar in Sligo. Home to fans of Sligo Rovers, Celtic and EPL teams. On a visit here it seemed that everyone knew each other and the bar staff were most welcoming. 🇮🇪

Great bar ! Had the pleasure of meeting the owner! Lovely man! Definitely be there again! Lots of TVs for football games! Very clean pub! Definitely recommend this bar! 2mins walk from bus station and railway station!

Great local bar, brilliant staff. Friendly customers. Amazing buzz about the place, especially after a Sligo Rovers game. Sports on all over the place. Well worth a visit. Highly recommended. No food, but if you just want a drink and a bit of local craic , this is one of the best pubs in the town.

I went to O'Neill's bar after a furenal and was treated very well . We had sandwiches and soup, which they laid on for us.The staff was brilliant and very friendly but I don't know if they do food all the time but I would recommend it for a good night out.

One of the best 'proper' bars in Ireland. Best summed up hy Irish Comedian, David McSavage- "If it was still drinking, this wud be a bar I'd be in". Lovely atmosphere. Great mix of music. central town location. Proper bar staff.

Lovely little pub with great live music on the night we visited. Just beside the Garavogue river so nice to walk around the area.

Fureys Pub, Sligo. The best pub. Friendly staff, good fun and banter. Drinks are perfection and I repeat myself, absolutely great staff! ♥️

Grand pub for a few scoops. We planted ourselves by the fire and chatted away to the bar man from Donegal. Nice locals to chat to also. Will pop in again when I'm next up.

My son and I went there for a drink after shopping in Sligo before he returned to Bonn.The barman was friendly and the atmosphere is old school Irish pub...great pub,good music venue too.

Went in for a few pints on a Saturday night, grand selection of beers and a live DJ. Good music and everyone very happy and lively. The place however seems to be in a transition from a place for older folk to being a student spot. There were a handful of older people at the bar, otherwise heavy on indy students. Good vibes all round and quick service either way. (Didn't have any food so can't comment there)

Great pint friendly staff

Great pub, lovely Beamish

Best Guinness so far in Ireland

Great wee pub good mix of old and young clients and a cracking pint of Guinness, the bar has unique character

Good local pub, good well priced Guinness. Live music. Cash only.

Bar staff very good and friendly an accommodating for are big dog 110 % music powerful Friday night live trad music 👌

On holidays from UK meeting friends and family the band played a good variety of songs place was packed every one having a good time

Great pub and the little lady behind the counter is a treasure ,quick and good wit she gives a great Irish pub welcome to all her customers 5r

This is a great shop to go too. It has everything for the shopper. Who can't get it down town and should not? be overlocked

Thank you for the fabulous hamper which arrived in great time ,beautifully packed and securely wrapped!Michelin star quality and service as always from Cosgrove's,Sligo. Here's to your continued success over the next 100+ years.You have earned it by your hard work and dedication to always selling The Best!Always a pleasure to purchase from you..and now on line too.(Covid does have some upsides after all!)

A fantastic and picturesque exotic delicatessen store in Sligo. Mr. Cosgrove offers a huge amount of exotic items at prices that are understandably higher than in a supermarket. He welcomes visitors and their cameras with open arms. I found Sushi rolling mats (and the other things you need) here years before Sushi was a thing outside of Dublin. If in Sligo, visit this store! If you plan to cook something with unusual ingredients, cooperate with him, and you'll be fine.

Cosgroves is a living legend. Family owned for all those years. The greatest range of charcuterie and delicatessen in Connaught. You will find products there not available elsewhere. Michael and his staff are fountains of knowledge as was the late Kevin Cosgrove RIP. SHOPPING IN COSGROVES is an experience not to be missed

Such a wonderful shop. Everything you could wish to buy & they will order products for you if not in stock. Friendly & helpful service what more could you ask for

Excellent local market with fresh produce, local meats and cheeses as well as a stocked pantry with bespoke products and staples. Bought some aged Irish cheeses and products that beats shopping at Tesco any day.

Great shop, used to be partly run by my grandparents as far as I know

Was desperate for a wee, so I asked to use their facilities. No problems at all. As I walked down the lengthy, dimly lit corridor I couldn't help but notice the calming scent of lavender and pine in the air. It reminded me of childhood days playing aimlessly in the fields of County Mayo. Candles burnt on either side of me as I made my way to the bathroom like a gladiator thirsty for battle. On entering the lavatories, it was as if heaven and earth had collided to hit me with a burst of the most profoundly alluring sensation. The mood was set by dimly lit lamps, wall to wall mirrors, and a number of choice urinals freshly scented with lemon zest. Now was my moment to shine as I had been born to. Would definitely wee in here again.

To anyone wishing to visit Sligo please be aware A Disappointing and Unacceptable Experience: Assault by Bouncing Staff I recently visited Lola Montez with high expectations for a night of enjoyment and relaxation. Unfortunately, my experience quickly turned sour due to the appalling behavior of the bouncing staff, resulting in a distressing and unforgettable incident. From the moment I arrived, I was met with unwelcoming attitudes from the bouncing staff. Despite adhering to all guidelines and protocols, I was subjected to unnecessary hostility and aggression. The situation escalated when one of the bouncing staff members physically assaulted me, completely unprovoked. The assault left me feeling shaken and vulnerable, tarnishing what was meant to be a fun outing. It is utterly unacceptable for any establishment to condone such behavior from its employees. The lack of professionalism and disregard for customer safety is deeply concerning and cannot be overlooked. Furthermore, the management's response to the incident was shockingly inadequate. Instead of addressing the issue promptly and ensuring my well-being, they attempted to downplay the severity of the situation and dismissed my concerns outright. Their failure to take decisive action only exacerbated the distress caused by the assault. Overall, my experience at Lola Montez was marred by incompetence, aggression, and a blatant disregard for customer safety. I strongly advise against patronizing this establishment until they address the systemic issues within their staff and management. No one should have to endure such mistreatment while simply trying to enjoy a night out. For anyone wishing to enjoy themselves for a night out in Sligo please be aware of this and for anyone wanting to travel to Sligo for a fun experience I would advise you to stay clear of Lola Montez until they make serious changes to their staff and their attitude's towards customers as it really was a night to forget After travelling for three to four hours it was a complete waste of time and was ruined by absolute incompetence as I requested staff to look at CCTV footage I was met with hostility to then have no choice but to leave the area in fear of my own safety Taxi drivers in the area have also heard of stories like mine when I explained my story on my way back to my hotel I would highly discourage anyone from attending this horrible place

We went here after Bourban bar on a Saturday night in Sligo as the DJ was giving out free passes. It has a big dancefloor and large smoking area so if you want to party until the early hours this is a good spot. There are lots of stags and hens also which adds to the party atmosphere (but wouldn't be for everyone).

Worst place I ever visited. Floors were soaking and the staff walking around with a wet mop just moving the wet around. And to top the night off, was man handled by the bouncers leaving me with bruised arms. Horrible place.

Bought tickets for Sally C and the queue was crazy and bouncer wasn’t letting people in. People started on us in the queue and there ended up being a big fight and bouncers did nothing. There was no set up for the queue so it was all just really messy. If a venue is catering for such a large capacity they should have the facilities outside and staff outside for safety as me and my friends got bet up. Really disappointing.

Avoid the girl with the red hair behind the bar. Bad attitude for no reason at all. Rest of staff lovely. Great place for a dance.

Maybe it was because I was cold, hungry and a few pints deep but the bacon burger was the best burger I've ever had.

First and the last time. Definitely won't be back for food. Almost everything taste the same. Whatever you have ordered. Dirty glasses. Atmosphere is not bad, but that's it.

Great spot for drinks. You can order Camile Thai food there at the table. All orders need to be placed online which is good and bad but I prefer that way so it was great time there. Cocktails were nice too.

Had an absolutely great experience at Maeve’s Bar. The outdoor seating was perfect in the heat – loads of space and a great buzz. Music was spot on both inside and outside, creating a brilliant atmosphere. Pints were top notch, and the service couldn’t have been better. The bar staff even remembered what I was drinking, which made me feel genuinely welcomed and looked after. Shoutout to Eoghan behind the bar – he was flat out making cocktails all evening but still took the time to chat and bring great energy to the place. Absolute legend. Can’t wait to go back – highly recommend if you're looking for a spot with good vibes, great drinks, and even better service.

Pints very poor, cocktails overpriced and come in a champagne glass (advertised in much bigger glass). They've messed up two orders and it takes half an hour between asking someone to take your order and your drink coming. The Guinness was (unanimously agreed by 6 people) one of the worst ever. The music and atmosphere is good though. Come if you want to overpay for a cocktail, stay away if you're looking for pints.

The place has a very good ambience and decorations. But, the table services were poor and the drink options were limited. Nice spot if people wants sit and chat for a long time.

I ordered Espresso Martini. First and last cocktail here. Half of glass foam, could taste only coffee, no taste of any alcohol

Very good food nice atmosphere and live music

I'm so delighted that we heard about this gem. I didn't know it existed until last week, so we had to pay a visit. There is on the street parking and a large carpark down the side at the rear. The bar and restaurant itself are beautifully decorated, cosy, welcoming, and everything was spotlessly clean. The staff member was very friendly and made you feel very welcome. Today, we had breakfast. My husband had the full Irish, which came with tea and toast included in the price. He said it was one of the nicest breakfasts he's had. My daughter had the pancakes, and I had the French toast. Both were lovely and very tasty. Everything was so amazing and very good quality. I'm already looking forward to going back to try the lunch menu. For all 3 breakfasts, 1 extra, 2 latte's and a tea, it was great value at €31.60. They have been open for 2 years and we have only discovered it and I would highly recommend a visit, its so worth it.

I had the ribs, they were absolutely delicious and a good portion as you can see

We had our wedding last weekend .Great place Andrea is amazing person she was so helpful very organised.Food delicious servis with smile all night long .I can said the best place to make every party you want😃😃

We were passing by and stopped in for a drink and a meal. The atmosphere is exactly what we hoped to see our first time in Ireland. Very warm and welcoming! The food was wonderful! We had the Beef Stew. 😋

Lovely pub. Lovely size function room at back. Very friendly staff. Recommended if in area 👌

Great place in Gurteen for a pint and a meal. Friendly staff, highly recommend

Such a lovely family run pub! Think old world pub (but clean!) Loads of parking, outdoor seating and amazing food! Must visit!

Cannot rate this place highly enough. The best service ever from the lovely staff- so welcoming. The passion fruit martini was the best I’ve ever tasted 10/10. Food was unreal and the place is spotlessly clean.

The pub looked great but service was a disaster. We waited 20 min and needed to ask them to wipe the table. Instead of asking us what we’d like to order they just disappeared (there was enough staff working and the pub was not crowded). After waiting another while we left the pub thirsty and without trying the food so I can’t say anything about that. It’s a shame!

It’s a really lovely pub inside. I was here when it first opened and the food was excellent. But now the chips seem to be no longer home made. I ordered the Korean chicken tenders which were nice, but how can you justify charging 18.90€ for 5 *small* chicken tenders. The size of a starter and in no way worth the price of a main meal. Was very disappointed.

Great place, staff so lovely & friendly. Food was amazing, seafood chowder best I ever had🙌

No ever recommend as I m 6th level google quide and never leave this review but it’s honest V bad service. Security asking questions I was with my quest . So we walk.

Food was excellent and top quality.. The food is not the problem here..unfortunately a lot of the staff are un-trained and thin on the ground too..missing basic procedures..when this happens unfortunately it let's the kitchen down..if staff numbers and training can be improved then this place will be at its full potential.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming – a perfect mix of cosy and lively without being too loud. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel at home. The food was the real standout. Every dish we ordered was full of flavour, cooked to perfection, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Classic pub favourites done right, with generous portions and great value for money. Whether you’re just popping in for a pint or sitting down for a full meal, this place really delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend and definitely looking forward to our next visit! The server Eoghan was so standout. He works so hard and he made sure we were taken care of for the whole night. He makes the best cocktails in the house. He was exceptional at anticipating all of our drinking needs. He was sharp, thoughtful and handled a busy night with great composure. One of the best serving experiences we’ve had in years!

This is probably the best pint of Guinness I have had in Ireland, and I have had . . . several. Bartender quite literally gave the shirt off her back when my husband dumped his pint in his lap - she used her sweatshirt to sop up the spill on the banquette and replaced his pint to boot.

Didn't realise the pub was still alive, it's about 30 years since my last visit, it's an old country pub in a very remote part of Co Sligo that dates back to the 19th century, it's a must of a visit to see how pub life was like back in the mid 19 hundreds, oh and we had 2 fantastic pints of Guinness. A must of a visit (if you can find it😄,

Lovely lady behind the counter, great music and overall the full irish experience🍀

Great service, location, and atmosphere. Ellen's has regular events and a great pint of Guinness! Definitely worth a visit if you're in Yeat's country

Wonderful local with friendly staff, child friendly.

400 year old pub with range stove. Main room behind has TV, open coal fire and pool table. It was quiet but enjoyable when we were there.

Legit old Irish pub. Great jukebox, pool table. Friendly locals and of course a lovely pint of Guinness.

We had one of our least enjoyable dining experiences in memory, here last night, sad to say. I do not like posting detailed poor reviews. We were seated next to the smoking area door & subjected to double bangs ( the downstairs door was very noisy) and tobacco smells coming up with each returning smoker, at about 90 second intervals. The lighting level was so low it was seriously not possible to see all that we were eating. The entree of chowder was quite nice - thanks! However, our main meals were not great. My four pork medallions were tiny, overcooked ( unless that’s the style here!) and minute compared to the massses of mash that swamped them. The Caesar salad tasted much spicier than any other we’d eaten. This may have just been an off night - at both the restaurant & hotel it seemed local party night and this may have been a factor.

We had a beautiful family meal in The Mill Bar yesterday. 4 adults and 2 young kids. Food was presented beautifully and soooo tasty. The buttermilk chicken stack 🤤so good. Compliments to the staff too excellent customer service . I highly recommend eating here can't wait to go back.

It's a great bar for the weekend. It's a part of the Riverside Hotel, a friendly atmosphere with live music at the weekends outstanding staff's and foods. Also has live TV sports 4 big screens.

Very racist towards that traveller community very very disrespectful towards them

I enjoyed the people, atmosphere and food. A perfect place!

(Translated by Google) Very good food, fast and careful service. Live music is great (Original) Sehr gutes Essen, schnelle und umsichtige Bedienung. Live-Musik top

As it is in the hotel and they have a captive audience, and it's very busy. I had the fish n chips, it was not amazing for the price at €18, and at €7.50 a pint too, I wasn't really impressed, I should have walked to Sligo

Very busy, service wasn’t great, food was okay.

It's a lovely wee bar!! But it can be better if they give me a free pint🤣 Just kidding, a nice place to have a few drinks with mates..!!

Lovely local bar. Always fun with the regulars. Perfect separate party room space too. Lovely stove fire during the colder seasons. Pool table, live sport also. 10min walk from Sligo town and last pub before Rosses Pt if you are heading from town. Bus stop and E bikes stop right outside door.

Having been a monthly visitor and encouraging my younger family members also to visit - with each visit I requested a specific beverage which is easily available in most public licence facilities- I was lucky to have x1 bottle supplied within a 24month period - most of which was not purchased by me!!!. Following a very recent + approximately precious 5 visits and no such beverage available I was told that “the wholesaler” did not have in stock - (peculiar as many other establishments didn’t seem to have this problem)also that “nobody wanted to drink this here” and subsequently told that this was not a suitable drink to have available at this establishment by both a male and female service employee - I have to note that at the busiest period there may be 10-15 customers? Not a very “profitable” or popular spot? I was informed that “this is what I sell so choose something else”with no hint of service support or wish to have further profit paying patronage?! Sadly having been a cancer survivor and having various intolerances that have reduced my social possibilities I felt as a potential frequent patron it was not too much to ask for a bottle of specific alcohol that purchased for €30 and approximately 18 servings a fair profit would be made @ €5 a shot?? I then suggested that I bring my own and pay a corkage of €5 so I could share a moment with my 89 year old Dad who has been a patron for over 20years and this was seen as “not possible” after my repeated gentle requests to offer my only beverage of choice. Sad and very poor taste in our beautiful country and “The Village Pub” is now a slow and unfrequented tired dark space that could have encouraged new and fresher possibilities = that could have embraced a positive new frequenting patron but instead created a negative vacuum. If you see fit to not support the locals then Foleys and Connollys and Yeats Local and multiple others will benefit from our patronage. I welcome a change of attitude and will plan to try 1 more visit because I care. ⭐️🙏🌸

Very friendly atmosphere. Even soccer fans are very restrained.

What can i say has to be one of the best pubs around.top class and friendly staff x drinks and keen prices .blazing fire and great comfort.Toilet is like being in a five star hotel.well done the village

Had a great day and a few pints of Heineken there and the manager(john Hannon)was very helpful serving the pints?👍👍🍺☘☘☘

A very cozy pub where you can sit for a while. Greetings from Germany LordofKerry
