The best restaurants in Sligo

16/07/2026: One of the best burgers I've ever tasted. My wife and son felt the same. I'm not sure of the name of the lad who welcomed and seated us (11/07), but he was excellent, and his energy was terrific. Great stuff :)

15/07/2026: Great serving times despite operating at close-to-full capacity. Modern, comfortable presentation of food. Very friendly staff. Great fries, along with one of the best burgers I've ever had. Would absolutely recommend after a long journey or for a social outing with friends.

01/07/2026: What a brilliant traditional Irish pub! Popped in to watch the World Cup match and had a fantastic time — great atmosphere, 3 screens, and a perfect pint. Huge bonus: extremely dog-friendly with my pup welcomed inside without any hassle. The staff were excellent — friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. Authentic vibe, and proper Irish hospitality. Will definitely make a point of visiting again someday. Highly recommend!

30/06/2026: Great bar, stopped here for a pint tuned into several and a whisky tasting platter, very highly recommend

18/07/2026: This place have the best food, service and spoons that I have never seen. Service was 100/10

16/07/2026: Amazing food & phenomenal service. Beef gyoza and salmon & mango sushi were 10/10 ⭐️

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 ☘️

04/08/2026: We went to The Harp Tavern for lunch and had a good experience. We tried a burger, which was decent, with a fairly average flavor, and a beef sandwich which, on the other hand, was delicious and the highlight of the meal. We really liked the atmosphere: it's a place where tourists mingle with locals, giving it a very authentic feel. If you're looking for a pleasant pub to eat and have a drink in Sligo, it's worth a visit.

15/07/2026: Great food, friendly staff, relaxing vibe

19/07/2026: very small portions for the price :/

11/07/2026: OMG, we have just finished our main course, everyone in our party of 7 is raving about the food. Unique food, incredible flavours, a perfect culinary experience. Get in here folks, and it’s BYOB - bonus!!

26/07/2026: Great coffee, and even better beans 🫘

19/07/2026: Wow! What a find. My wife and I had been looking for quality pour over coffees during our trip and found Dan at Rover. He was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing his love for coffee.

11/06/2026: Lovely and very friendly place, staff always very helpful and helpful

06/06/2026: Stayed for a wedding, had a very pleasant time. The views are beautiful and the reception for the wedding was delightful. The rooms are very comfortable and the voya spa products in the bathroom and give a luxury feel. Anything we needed the staff were very hospitable. the breakfast option for gluten free wasn’t great and unfortunately there was contamination with a hair in my mushrooms.

02/08/2026: I found that the staff were very rude one girl in particular snatched the menus off the table and didn’t let us finish ordering what we wanted before she walked off this same girl, I have seen vaping behind the counter with a plate in her hand. I thought it was very bad service and we were waiting nearly 30 minutes for 2 milkshakes which is not good enough.

08/07/2026: Such delicious food and great price value

25/07/2026: We arrived in Sligo late in the afternoon on a monday, and landed in this lovely place. Despite only having the bar menu available on a monday, there was a rich variety of options and great food! We loved the homemade bread, that also had a gluten-free option. The food was delicious, we had pasta, burgers and a tenderloin steak. The steak was ordered medium rare, but served well-done. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, they even let us withdraw some cash to pay for the parking nearby.

07/07/2026: The bread is to die for! I would highly recommend. My partner is gluten intolerant and the gluten free version of their home made bread is incredible for a gluten free bread. He had the veggie nachos and it was very under whelming, very plain. Mash was okay. I had the seafood pie and it was good. Fish was good quality - I didn't expect bones in the fish so be careful (but that doesn't impact my rating, I would just have liked to be warned). Staff was lovely

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

21/07/2026: Did not disappoint. 5 stars all round.

17/07/2026: Food well cooked, presentation was average. Staff well intentioned but need training. Pricing was top end and not worth it. Disappointed.

16/07/2026: The food here is great except the pho. I ordered a Vietnamese pho and was brought dishwater soup. The soup tasted like nothing no flavor, no authenticity, completely bland. The beef was also tasteless, another huge disappointment. The vegetables in the dish is just a disgrace to Vietnamese culture. Would definitely not order this again. Please save yourselves and your tastebuds from this godforsaken dishwater soup.

05/07/2026: Food is fantastic as always and the service is really quick. Servers were really kind and attentive thank you

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!

25/07/2026: Got a lovely goats cheese bap here last week. Delicious

13/07/2026: I was passing through Sligo and stopped at WB's for lunch. I had a sandwich the contents of which were okay however the bread was stale!
