The Canal Turn in Ballymahon

09/05/2026: Recently found this place looking for somewhere to stop with my dog travelling between sligo and dublin and this ticked all the boxes. Dog friendly, local craft beer, nice food and the staff were lovely. Rural ireland could do with more pubs like this

02/04/2026: A joy to be back in Ballymahon after all these years and a joy to be in Skelly's. My grandfather brought me here in the 70s and even today, the bar still has a retro feel but with modern-day cool vibe which allows space for all demographics. Dog-friendly and people friendly. Allowing me memories of my grandfather sitting at the bar with his beloved Guinness right through to today where on entering, I felt nostalgic but welcome and comfortable. Love this pub and we will be staying overnight very soon.
