It was closed today. Strange.
People are saying is has closed down yet noone knows why.
Anyone any the brighter here?

DenMan · 28-07-2009 11:13pm

A bit odd alright. Cool place I gotta say. In Sligo now for uni and spent a lot of time there in my first year. Maybe they are doing the upstairs for a band to perform.

It's the summer.....Sligo should be buzzing now!!!

trilo · 28-07-2009 11:32pm

I would defo have doubts on them doing up upstairs for a band.

Sligo buzzing???... i swear i don't think i've ever seen Sligo with that music festival fun summer feel.... but i think Coney fest is on this weekend.

DenMan · 28-07-2009 11:39pm

:D

Well I'm a Dub banished to the West.

Every other county is having summer festivals. The jazz fest was on here last week. Didn't hear much about it tho!!!

There ain't nothing wrong with been banished to the west... it's all good. Beats a smelly Dublin any day.

Hope it is not closed, like a drink in there with pals.

starbelgrade · 29-07-2009 1:33am

I always liked the place - always busy enough, but never packed & the music was usually good.

donegal lass 4 · 29-07-2009 9:27am

heard it closed due to problems with the Revenue and tax department

redarmyblues · 29-07-2009 10:22am

The staff member who turned up for her shift yesterday moring was told not to bother opening by the owner. My guess is the bank pulled the plug.

Tar.Aldarion · 29-07-2009 10:27am

Ouch! that sucks.

gustavo · 29-07-2009 10:47am

This is a shame if true

was just getting back into going there after a few years , really enjoyed their imported beers menu

trilo · 29-07-2009 11:50am

I spent most of my 17-21 years of age in there. Lots of good memories

DenMan · 29-07-2009 11:56am

We don't know for certain it's closing down. Let's be optimistic here.

redarmyblues · 29-07-2009 6:46pm

It is gone all right at least under current management, and it was the revenue that intervened, as somebody else said earlier, the Sheriff moved in and siezed everything.

Do not f**k with the Tax Man.

Xiney · 30-07-2009 10:11pm

Pubs are notorious easy marks for the auditors.

frag420 · 31-07-2009 12:13pm

yeah its bloody lousy eh. Will have feck all choice now when it comes to drinkin about the town esp if you dont wanna go to a shoe and shirt wearing establishment!!

grrrr

DenMan · 31-07-2009 12:20pm

Well my friend works in Hargadon's so I'll be in there. Still haven't made it in yet, but I'm working on it.

Hopefully McGarrigles will have new owners and be back.

lunasa_lady · 06-08-2009 11:39pm

Try shoot the Crows! Brill place!

il gatto · 07-08-2009 4:06am

Spent many, many drunken nights/evenings/afternoons in McGarrigles over the years. Don't get out anymore so only in once or twice under the new management. Shame if it's gone. Too many "super" pubs with loud chart music, ignorant bar staff and no atmoshere. If I wanted that, I'd go to a nightclub:D.

Jabby · 07-08-2009 11:50pm

I'm amazed that nobody has commented about the management and staff at this place. The most unfriendly I've ever witnessed in any Irish pub.

I have no real experience of the place in the last few years. Used to be a very laid back place when I frequented it.

Who's the moderator around here?

If I was the owner I wouldn't like to be reading this about myself

blackiebest · 24-12-2009 9:01am

Believe the new owner is a very excellent publican lady who also operates Cahaneys on mail coach rd. Best of luck to her and seasons greetings to all.

It's her son who's running it. I'm sure he's be less than impressed to read the comment above which is slanderous in the extreme

I was in McGarrigles this week and the new owner Trigger I think they call him was asked very politely by a woman accompanied by a small child could she please use the toilet only to be refused in a very arrogant and ignorant way. I left and will not be back. A gobsh1te and arsehole of a high order, I felt so sorry for woman she was mortified.

CityMan2010 · 29-06-2010 9:39pm

How in Gods name can anyone refuse a mother and a child access to the toilet? Thanks for the heads up on that RAB...

MoonDancer · 29-06-2010 9:53pm

Thats not good! Seriously, how could you refuse that. :mad:

Radharc na Sleibhte · 30-06-2010 3:16pm

The toilets in McGarrigles???
Jesus, she can count herself lucky she was refused.

Stevedore · 01-07-2010 2:18pm

I was in there today, a fine bar with a great sandwich but 4.20 for a Heinekein is a bit much, why can't they leave it at €4, very greedy for the 20 cent, friendly barman but some of the punters seem to be on heavy medication

Mick Daly · 01-07-2010 5:03pm

Did yer wan get to the toilet or wha?

I'm starting to like this place, great soup in a bread bowl very filling, terrible wallpaper, that trigger lad the owner seems like a friendly chap
