The best restaurants in Sligo

23/10/2025: The best pub in Sligo! Very friendly people, live music, and delicious cider.

05/09/2025: I spent an exceptional evening at McLaughlin's Bar - the people, music (trad session), drinks and the venue itself were just amazing! I'll never forget it. 100% recommended! If you're in Sligo it's a MUST. It felt so authentic and I was stunned by the Irish hospitality. Thanks so much to everyone, especially to Myriam :)

12/11/2025: Delicious smoothie served by Lucia. Lucia was very friendly and provided excelent service. Very knowledgeable about the products she sells.

26/10/2025: Staff is really nice and the gelato is👌

20/03/2026: Perhaps I was expecting too much. Made reservations for last Sunday night. We were both disappointed with our dinner. We ordered a glass of Merlot and a glass of prosecco and the merlot was fine but the prosecco was brought to the table in a small bottle and left there without opening or pouring it into a glass. I ordered the T Bone which was the thinnest cut of steak I have ever seen. I ordered it medium rare but it was such a thin cut that it was well done. My wife ordered the fillet steak and it was dry and over cooked. Dessert was fine and the service was good. Beautiful rooms but unfortunately not worth the price.

21/12/2025: Absolutely fabulous,,, food, service, and staff

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!

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 🤪

08/05/2026: Great family run business and polite staff and great food and handy little shop to pick up shopping and a very large car park it's conviently situated in the Castle Connor on the Ballina to Sligo Road area,they cater for all occasions👍

22/04/2026: Charming & authentic Bar Restaurant conveniently located right on the roadside of the Sligo road in the Castleconnor area. Great food, drink, staff and atmosphere. There's even a very handy mini mart bolted onto the carpark side including a hot deli. A real one stop shop. Love dropping in for a pint and a bite. We are so lucky, it is a halfway house on a lovely walk.

06/01/2026: Lovely traditional Irish bar with fantastic live music. We had a brilliant night in here.

03/01/2026: Great pub in Sligo. Music and sports. Top quality Guinness.

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!

08/03/2026: Would have liked to stay longer but there were young children past 8pm sitting at the bar with their parents. I didn't expect kids to be allowed late in a cocktail bar on a Saturday night... kinda ruined the vibe. Otherwise cool spot.

05/02/2026: Vibes and energy were lovely, went form quiet 3 people in pub to a bunch of younger people salsa dancig for about an hour Interesting cocktail menu. Not like menu online

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 👏👏

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

09/10/2025: My daughter and I stayed in their AirBnB next door and enjoyed visiting with the locals at the bar. The hosts are delightful. It was the best evening of our visit to Ireland. We felt totally at home.

27/07/2025: Lovely staff and atmosphere. Farewell from Czechia 🇨🇿🇮🇪

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

29/01/2026: Had a very good coffee and sausage roll. Recommended

23/01/2026: Went in today to get some sandwiches to go for lunch. Was an exceptional experience thanks to Chris, who made our food, and made our day. He was attentive, careful and friendly. A true artist. Will be going back and would definitely recommend a sandwich by Chris.
