The best restaurants in Sligo

20/08/2025: Cracking place to go for a drink, place has lots of character. Highly recommend for a drink. The owner is a great character too.

20/08/2025: Excellent value for money, generous portions, a convenient location, and attentive service. Pleasant.

11/08/2025: Nice pub and food but the owner seems like the most bitter man. If you don’t like serving customers don’t own a bar. After an afternoon of good food and a really nice server, boyfriend and I got up to pay and had the owner roll his eyes in our face when we asked to split the bill. No chat out of him just pure annoyance. Would be rating it lower if not for the kind bartender woman who was serving us before this. Fine establishment as long as you avoid the owner.

26/07/2025: Interesting interior there are cocktails (great spicy Margarita), tasty food, huge portions. All good 👍🏻 Thanks

16/08/2025: We happened upon this place by chance and were really glad we did. The food was fantastic, and the service was very friendly and good. The ambiance wasn't really our style, so we were all the more surprised that the food was so delicious :) We'll be back!

02/08/2025: Worst Indian we have ever tried…twice. Any time you order anything, it comes looking and tasting exactly the same. Flavorless and spice less to the point that you have to salt the meal you bought.

25/03/2025: The hotel was lovely. The staff were great, the room was nice and comfortable and warm. But the tv had only 1 in every 4 station was working.

10/05/2025: Food was simple and really good, exactly what I was looking for, kinder bueno milk shake with an shot of coffee was amazing, customer service friendly, extra points for the omelette, delicious 😀.

17/04/2025: Cute little cafe right across from the church. We only tried brownie and scones. But the card offers much more. As already written in other reviews, going to the 1st floor is worth it. Sitting there is a little quieter and has a nice view.

13/08/2025: Spectacular place for lunch, a raw or grilled oyster experience. Excellent value. Arrive early, otherwise they run the risk of running out of oysters.

10/08/2025: Great oysters. And glass of bubbles Would highly recommend

13/08/2025: The view is breathtaking... we were lucky enough to have a calm sea and mild weather but it must be evocative even with a stormy sea

12/08/2025: Beautiful place ..with a sheety food ..wast of money 💰. I don't suggest it to any one 🤮🤮

05/07/2025: I am a chocoholic - I've sampled the best chocolates in Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands and I have to say I am obsessed with Clo's Atlantic dark chocolate bar, made with Knocknarea honey, hazelnuts and sea salt. I buy it from Fallon and Byrne in Dublin - and from here when I'm home. It is utterly indulgent and delicious and doesn't taste overly processed or bulked out with cheaper ingredients - like many Irish "artisan" chocolate bars on the market. I've never eaten in the cafe but I've bought chocolate and desserts to take away from here on several occasions and I am so impressed with the quality, particularly the local whiskey chocolates. However, I can't speak for the coffee or pastries. I love the whole layout and cheerful look of the bakery/cafe too. The staff have always been kind and helpful. Sligo has a lot of very average bakeries so we are lucky to have a French style bakery in the town. Be aware that there is a 20c charge for a paper bag and they charge for the boxes you buy chocolates in.

26/04/2025: Good coffee but stodgy doughnut filled with cheap jam. ? Changed ownership - false economies - coukd not currently recommend pastry and used to be great

25/06/2025: Great space on O’Connell street with loads of seating. Coffee is great and good atmosphere but I have to give credit to the two baristas Lena and Deirdre who always have a smile on their face despite often busy times. They both always have a enthusiastic welcome for all customers alike and I’ve personally seen them dealing with challenging customers very professionally. A credit to the hospitality industry , well done ladies, keep up the great work 😃🫶🏼🙏

15/06/2025: I completely honestly haven’t ever had a good coffee in Ireland (or the Uk) but we had a quick stop in Sligo to use the loo and grab a coffee, and it was the best coffee i’ve ever had out of Australia. I’m a barista myself and an avid coffee drinking, so i’m a little bit picky. Mo (short for a much longer name i can’t remember) made such a lovely cappuccino for me, and Lucas, who served us, was very friendly as well. Unfortunately, as i was rushing out to make it to my bus, I split my packet of blueberries on the floor and they went everywhere. I would’ve helped clean them up if I wasn’t getting dangerously close to missing my bus, but the two assured me that it was okay to run off. Thank you to the two of you, you were lovely and I wish you the best in life!

08/02/2025: First time arriving at this pub, never had a beverage before inside and was told to leave as "manager"said I had too many drinks and I did not have any alcohol before arriving in any other pub !manager was very rude !

26/08/2025: Busy cafe with friendly staff who do their best to accommodate. Kids loved it (ages 2 and 3)

15/08/2025: Lovely spot for a quick bite, staff were very friendly and food was tasty😁

28/08/2025: Nice, quite quaint pub. The Guinness tastes very good. The food is good, and the price is reasonable. The owner has the place under control.

28/08/2025: Came in with the family on Wednesday. Extremely welcoming to us and our wee dog. Warm, friendly interior to the pub, brilliant pints and the food was top class. Owner and staff were a delight! Definitely be back next time we're in Sligo

04/07/2025: Older staff are very rude, my friend and I went in for food and I ordered 2 sandwiches for myself and went to sit and wait , my friend then went to order a sandwich for herself and the older woman said “did that one not order one for you”, my friend said no I want to order, and from half way across the room the woman shouted “did you not order 2”, I said yes for myself, I shouldn’t have to go into a cafe worrying about people judging me for what I order I can order as much as I like if I’m paying for it so it would be nice for them to mind their own business and just make what their asked too. We were then waiting for our food to come and a different older staff member came over with our plates and put down the 3rd one and said “this one here for your friend that’s coming”, but we had no 3rd friend the 3rd plate was for me, so it would be nice to come into a cafe and not have people making assumptions and making us feel like it was illegal to order 2 sandwiches.

14/06/2025: O’Briens Sandwich Café is a solid choice when you want a quick, tasty bite without any fuss. I spent around €8 on a sandwich and a coffee — both fresh and satisfying. The sandwiches are well made with good fillings, perfect for grabbing on the go or a casual sit-down. The place has a bright, no-nonsense vibe, and the staff are friendly and efficient, keeping things moving smoothly. If you’re after something simple, reliable, and quick, O’Briens does the job nicely.
