What User likes about Thomas Connolly:
This is a quaint and historic pub, perfect for grabbing a drink or two. The staff is exceptionally friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. As you sip your drink and take in your surroundings, you can't help but feel a connection to the past. I have a fondness for old, historic places like this; it’s off the beaten path, allowing you to feel like you’re truly immersed in another world. Enjoy your time in Ireland! View all feedback.

Yes it is the oldest bar in Sligo, but come here for a true experience. It has great atmosphere and occasionally offers traditional Irish music. What a delight!

Cool pub with Irish charm! Also had good live music. 2 entrances. Some parking spaces next to the street also at the back entrance.

This restaurant was a fantastic spot to catch up with friends, but the television was too loud and created a lot of noise that was unpleasant.

Experience top-notch service, a terrific atmosphere, and the best pint of Guinness at this must-visit Irish pub in Sligo. With friendly and knowledgeable staff, a fantastic selection of craft beers, and a lively music scene, this pub sets the bar high for other establishments. Enjoy a pint in the oldest bar in Sligo, where football is always on the screens and even dogs are welcome. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this pub promises an amazing experience that will have you coming back for more. Don't miss out on what some call the best pub in town!.

Not actually been to Connolly, the wife wouldn't let me. But Sligo is a nice town, plenty to do and drink.

Great bar, it has two street addresses. Do you want to know more? Then visit it.

Wonderful atmosphere in a place that's been a pub since 1861 (I think). Landlord photo bombed us... Cracker.
