The best restaurants in Sligo

12/05/2026: Great! Tired from exploring the nearby tourist attractions and hikes, we stopped in for a burger, pizza and Guinness. The food was great and the Guinness too! The place was busy, plenty of regulars stopping by, and for dinner, all tables were booked up but they placed us by the bar, which was no issue and appreciated. Small bit of feedback: I actually drove by the place because I thought the Harrison's sign read: Thompson's. The font is quite nice and unique but it is thin and difficult to read. Or at least it was for me. Overall, great experience, I recommend it!

26/04/2026: Stopped in on a whim as was passing by.what a gem of a place. Loved it

30/11/2025: A bunch of work staff were here to celebrate ahead of Christmas. Had to pay a deposit in advance. Night before meal manager called the organizer to say the menu might be limited and the full menu not available. Despite all this we went ahead. Noise deafening from large group behind. However not the restaurants fault. The bread and dips were delicious. No charge. However the food prices were just too much. 22 euro for a chicken tikka masala? It was the only option I felt I had.. the chicken supreme was almost 27 euro and a colleague had it but it was tiny and dry. Disappointing but we had fun ourselves but overall I don’t think I’d go back.

28/10/2025: We went there for a drink without going to the restaurant. The bartender is very professional and friendly, and the pub decor, dating back to 1781, is worth seeing. The Guinness is particularly delicious, and that evening there was a Latin music trio with Felip & the 2 Eddies—the icing on the cake!

21/02/2026: Two of my favourite pizzas served here. The base is usually good and the Michelangelo is quality

27/01/2026: Fantastic restaurant, food excellent staff and Kate was very friendly and excellent at her job 👏👏

07/06/2026: Great food, lovely friendly service. There’s always a good food choice for lunchtime dinner or evening dining.

14/05/2026: Had lunch on Sunday with my family 4 adults and 1 5year old. The staff were lovely friendly and very efficient. The food was excellent

25/04/2026: Amazing food! We went their for our last dinner in Ireland and had a wonderful evening. The food is of high quality and the waiters are very attentive.

12/04/2026: Excellent Steak. Got the ribeye rare. Lovely charcoal flavour. Think it was along with samphire. Good meal and standard for steak in price. But much better quality.

01/06/2026: Possibly the best steak in Ireland , the staff are on the ball and very very attentive for a small rural town it definitely gives big city standards

03/05/2026: Didn’t stay just had dinner but so helpful and a lovely dinner

24/08/2025: I don’t know the area but if you’re after filter coffee in Sligo, go here. Perfect brew.

19/08/2025: Awesome 👌 Fitout + the coffee is right up there. Kidz says the Fruitshoot is top notch also 🤪

15/05/2026: As usual excellent service. Not sure they do food but the pints, entertainment and service are always top notch

30/03/2026: The bottle shop around back is lovely. Run by nice people.

17/06/2026: Rooms ok layed out a little goofy, but great location.

13/06/2026: Very comfortable room, got a last minute free upgrade which was much appreciated. One problem with a fan but resolved immediately. Pool a welcomed addition and food was lovely. Only issue, and it's minor, was the water machine rang out of water and there was no outdoor ash trays. Overall had a good stay and would recommend!

05/05/2026: I had the pepper quiche with salad. The quiche was very tasty. The pastry base was light and crisp and the filling was very tasty. The vegetables in the salad were really fresh and crunchy. The staff were friendly and service was excellent. Would highly recommend Gourmet Parlour.

27/04/2026: Great coffee and good quality food

18/10/2025: Great quality food prepared in house. Staff were super friendly and professional. A little gem of a place

19/09/2025: Delicious apple custard tart. And dog friendly

10/05/2026: Very nice little cocktail bar, nice lighting.

03/05/2026: Stopped in on my trip to Ireland and listened to a group of guys having a music session. They were really good. Bartender were also friendly.

20/03/2026: Really good live music and great atmosphere

27/10/2025: 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!

25/10/2025: Didn’t try the food but excellent latte!

06/05/2026: I like the food and the staff are quick and lovely. But the atmosphere is a little less appealing. It's separated into little areas and no background music with bright lights, so it's not a very pleasant environment to eat in. Particularly the small room at the front is just really quiet, I always find myself whispering to not automatically have a conversation with the whole room. The side nooks are a bit better. I think some background music and better lighting would already make a big difference in terms of atmosphere.

05/05/2026: This is a quirky pup to enjoy a pint and some food. Good Guinness and gorgeous Oysters with one of the nicest dressings. The food service staff were superb and really looked after us, the 2 lads at the bar however serving pints could do with learning to smile and having a bit of craic. I’ll defiantly be back for Oysters here.
