Lovely food in a good atmosphere with the most patient, friendly staff you could wish for. Kangaroo was on the menu but we were too Irish for that sort of mullarkey... homemade humous and chilli chips. Butternut squash curry and hot wings. Perfect spot for quiet pint or coffee and chillin with friends

Great pub, great atmosphere, great food. The Guinness is quality and the Brutal IPA is worth a try too. The food goes above and beyond Irish pub food. Highly recommended.

We wandered into this pub upon seeing the Trip Advisor decal in the window. As usual, my fellow travellers were right. The service was really good and the burgers were wonderful. The bartender even wrote down the name of the musician whose music was playing when I commented on how much I liked it. He also made a winning recommendation... More

Where to start, the service is always first class and I find it more than efficient, second time walking into the swagman and the owner knew my name and what I drank, that's a personal touch that seems to have been lost overtime in most places. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming and all the little touches that have... More

This traditional pub in the heart of Sligo is one you would walk past without knowing the welcoming atmosphere and fantastic food that lie on the other side of the doors. Locals mix with visitors from all over the world enjoying the great guinness and craic, as well as the delights of the excellent and unbelievably priced food menu! The... More
