Internet Cafes and Free Wi-Fi in Sligo.

Mint Sauce

Thought this might be of interest to both visitors, people with data charges, and those who simply cant stay off their phone on a night out.

Now I'm not talking about stealing peoples Wi-fi, but places when you can use for free.

As for the Internet Cafes, the only one I know of is Cafe Online on Stephen Street.

Free Wifi, I know of. The Garavouge, The Clarion, Costa (Johnsons Court)(I think), and the Embasy Rooms (also I think).

Over to you.

Didnt know that! I also know if you pass the Sligo Tourism Office, you would need to create a bitbuzz account.

Yeah pretty sure I was using it last time I was there. No password required as well.

Have seen bitbuzz a few places around town. But really hate signing up to something, or submitting details for a service that I might only use for 5 minutes just the once.

I know the feeling, whenever I go into a shop or cafe that does require signing in, its a pure nuisance. The model cafe is good as well for wifi.

Although saying that, my phone will now (sometimes) automatically connect to O2 Wifi zones in the UK, after using it a couple of times when over there.

There's an internet cafe in the DVD rental place at Wine Street Carpark.
Free WiFi: Chapters Coffee Shop, Clarion Hotel, Glasshouse Hotel, Sligo Park Hotel.
The library will also let visitors use the computers for an hour.

Is that all areas of the Glasshouse magnumlady? Have used the WiFi in their conference/meeting rooms, but the signal was lost once I got back the bar area. Unless they have since changed it.

Just remembered the Opel Service Centre in Finisklin also has WiFi access for customers, password provided. Also the 4 Lights, no password required.

Also Acasa mia, you need a password that is printed on the bottom of the reciept.

The old telecom eireann phone boxes were kitted out with wifi a few years ago, so the free access ya get from those areas could be from them. The top of O Connell st, the entrance of Wine st outside the library on Stephen st and outside the showground spring to mind, that is if they're still there.

It was working for me last time I was in the bar areaa while back, I must try it again.

Most pubs have it if you ask

Fiddlers require a password but it's printed on a sign behind the bar. Mc hughs, swagman, mc garrigles and garavogue all have free wifi, may have to ask for the password in some of them.

Are there any coffee shops with free wifi, especially any that stay open past 6pm?

dingding

Insomnia should have wifi but they're only open after 6, Thurs - Sat. One on O'Connell street and the other over at Quayside shopping Centre past the Cinema.

Few of the pubs have wifi that would serve you coffee too. Hargadons should have wifi and you might get yourself a nice private booth too in the pub.
Coach lane/Donaghy's have too if you wanted to sit at the bar.

One or two of the hotels in town might be an option too. The Glasshouse or Riverside.
