Great Location
by Goner about Sligo City Hotel
The rooms seemed small but adequate. We were within walking distance of downtown and the tourist office. It seemed expensive however the US Dollar was an all time low against the Euro so everyting seemed expensive.
It was clean, comfortable and warm enough for us California travelers.
We had dinner in the restaurant at the hotel and our stuffed chicken, with mash potatoes and vegetables was tastey, it was the rhubarb pudding that was to die for. We actually split a dinner and it was enough for two. The hotel was around the corner from Harp Tavern on Quay Street where we listened to traditional Irish music and saw traditional Irish dancers.
Authentic Irish Dancing
by Goner about The Harp Tavern
We lucked out, on Monday nights across the street from the Sligo City Hotel where we happened to be staying, is the Harp Tavern who has authentic Irish music. It's a lovely pub and dancers came in for a round of Irish dancing, not the Riverdance style, more a square dance with partners, so intricate and lively - we loved every minute of it.
Every Sunday (2008) at 1 p.m. the "Jazz Lads" play a unique style of Jazz and Blues.
Plenty of parking too. Everyone was dressed casually - mostly jeans.
