The best restaurants in Sligo

24/07/2026: Very tasty ice cream, I love it!

20/07/2026: Disappointing for the price This review specifically concerns the kiosk in the Quayside Shopping Centre, not the main Sligo store. During our visit, we found the selection of flavors quite limited and mainly focused on very sweet flavors (if memory serves, chocolate, salted caramel, Kinder Bueno…), with few cooler or fruitier options. The prices seemed high to us: €4 for a small children's portion and €6 for a simple chocolate milkshake made with two scoops of ice cream and milk. My pineapple and coconut iced drink was pleasant, but also cost €6. Finally, the service seemed rather cold and unwelcoming, especially when I simply asked if it was possible to add some whipped cream to an ice cream. "Oh, we don't do that here." Nothing bad in itself, but between the limited selection, the prices, and the service, we left rather disappointed.

13/09/2026: Fantastic pub and accommodation in Enniscrone. Caroline is so accommodating. Nothing is a problem. The rooms are spacious and spotless clean. Such a great place to stay. 100% Recommend . If 10⭐️ were available, McNulty’s would get them.

29/08/2026: Great bar, and great atmosphere. Clean and warm. Great service from the bar staff. Owner Tommy and Caribbean very engaging and run a good show.

23/06/2026: A good campus with brilliant facilities especially the theater-style auditorium.

07/06/2026: ATU Sligo town campus is the biggest ATU in Sligo.

09/09/2026: Five enthusiastic stars. Our adventures in Sligo would never have been the same had we not stopped into this pub. We went in for a couple of beers and came out with a guided tour of Benbulben and Sligo. Lovely staff, lovely regulars, lovely parrot.

28/07/2026: Fine pub, excellent range of drinks.

02/08/2026: Very disappointing stay – nowhere near four-star standard We stayed at Ocean Sands Hotel from 27th–30th July as a gift from our daughter, who had kindly booked and paid for a relaxing break for us. Sadly, it was anything but relaxing. We would rate this hotel as no better than a two-star property. From the moment we arrived, things went wrong. There was no parking available because the car park was full, and breakfast each morning was chaotic. We had long waits to be seated and served, with little assistance despite us being elderly guests. Tables weren’t being cleared, guests were left standing around waiting, and basic items such as teaspoons, teapots, cornflakes and milk jugs kept running out. Even the orange juice was warm instead of chilled. To make matters worse, one of the cups provided still had lipstick stains on it. The staff were generally unfriendly and appeared unhappy, with very little customer service or even a simple welcoming greeting. Our room was also well below the standard expected of a four-star hotel. The key repeatedly failed to work, the air conditioning didn’t function properly, part of the fittings were coming away from the wall, and there were exposed screws visible in the bathroom. These are basic maintenance issues that should never have been overlooked. Perhaps most concerning was what happened when we checked out. We overheard the receptionist discussing the previous guest’s complaint with members of the cleaning staff after the guest had left. We found this highly unprofessional and it gave us little confidence that customer complaints are treated with the respect and confidentiality they deserve. The experience was so disappointing that we considered leaving after the first night. The only reason we stayed was because this holiday had been such a thoughtful gift from our daughter, and we didn’t want to spoil it for her. We’ve stayed in many hotels over the years and have never felt the need to leave a negative review before, but this experience fell far below expectations. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend Ocean Sands Hotel and would not return.

22/06/2026: Really well looked after at Ceol na Mara House by Ocean Sands Hotel. We stayed after doing a solstice bike ride from Belfast and they welcomed a whole load of tired cyclists. Bed was comfy, shower was hot, breakfast was good. Didn't need anything else! Would love to come back.

15/04/2026: Auntie Nellie’s Sweet Shop is super cute! They have a wonderful array of candies. The staff is friendly! Stepping inside of the sweet shop you are transported back in time. We loved it!

30/03/2026: Great selection, and reasonably priced, staff are also friendly

14/05/2026: Fernand is very friendly, excellent chips and lovely 🍕 pizza! 😊

18/03/2026: Had fish and chips twice, first time we have had a takeaway since we moved to Ireland in May. Absolutely lovely, comes with lemon wedge tartare sauce and peas and plenty of salt and vinegar. Perfect portion too!
