The best restaurantsof irish in Sligo

25/07/2026: Just dropped in for a few Irish whiskeys. Read about this place back in Oz and was not disappointed. Seriously great atmosphere, Dale and his staff are old world friendly and genuine. We had a good chat and stayed much longer than we actually had time for because it was so good. Do Yourself a favour - the Swagman is top notch and a definite visit in Sligo.

21/07/2026: A cozy, classic Irish pub with very helpful and friendly staff and excellent food. You can sit inside or outside, where the atmosphere is relaxed and you can play pool. I definitely recommend a visit. All the best ☘️

23/07/2026: Food is really not great. Chicken is over cooked and very dry. Fish and chips were just okay. We’ve had better here in Ireland. Disappointed after seeing all the blogs about this place. They clearly pay for a lot of publicity. I wouldn’t go back.

21/07/2026: Not very sure where all the awards from, we have been eating at so many restaurants and this is by far one of the worst. The children chicken tenders are not too bad hence the 2 stars but I got bang bang chicken salad and my husband got the pork belly and I had to say to hardest chicken I ever taste, maybe that's why it's called bang bang. The taste is not too bad but the texture is just so hard to chew, the fries are not great either. I left half of my dish and was so disappointed

11/07/2026: The food at Hargadon Bros was genuinely delicious. I had the fish and chips and my girlfriend had the burger with avocado, and we’d have no complaints on that front. Unfortunately, the service let the experience down. We were seated in a nook to the left of the room, which was cosy enough but seemed to leave us invisible to the staff, and getting attention took real effort throughout the evening. The low point was dessert: after flagging down a waitress, we ordered and were brought two spoons - but the dessert itself never came. After waiting 20 minutes, I gave up and went looking for someone to bring the bill instead. A waiter did notice the spoons on our table and asked if we’d ordered dessert, but by then we no longer wanted it. Lovely food, but the service needs attention - especially for tables tucked out of sight.

07/07/2026: We arrived naively on a Saturday night when they were very busy and we could not get a table. Most places would say no and that be it. But the extremely nice hostess walked us outside and gave us great recommendations for other places to try. She took the time and effort even thought they were busy inside. You can best believe that we will be coming back here on our next trip and will remember to make a booking here due to their super nice staff and because the food smelled amazing!

13/06/2026: Good food at Western restaurants

07/06/2026: It's a handy place for a night out in Sligo, rooms are comfortable, right in the center of everything.

27/06/2026: Great hotel Breakfast could have more pastry selection. Dinner was lovely. Reception staff amazing and restaurant staff are lovely. Over all great hotel would definitely recommend.

15/04/2026: My family stayed in the Riverside Hotel recently while my husband was attending hospital. We have stayed here several times, but this stay especially warranted a review. The lady at reception, Erin, quite literally moved heaven and earth for us. She went above and beyond to help us. She is an absolute credit to the hotel! A lovely woman, the hotel is blessed to have her!
