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

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.

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.

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

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

redarmyblues

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

Ouch! that sucks.

This is a shame if true

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

trilo

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

DenMan

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

redarmyblues

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.

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.

Try shoot the Crows! Brill place!

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.

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

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
