They gentrified the front of it about two years ago, but walk inside and it's still the same. I've been in there once since the smoking ban, and I swear there's still a haze and a film within. Surprisingly has a decent jukebox, although some of the townies were pissed that I insisted on playing the Pixies "U. Mass" like six times in a row after I had ingested perhaps a few too many of the Champagne of Beers. Try the Sligo punch. You won't be disappointed.

I guess people feel like it's more keepin-it-real, and less yuppified than The Burren. But, you know, those accents at The Burren aren't faked, and I lived in Ireland for a semester, and it's pretty keepin-it-real. Though I do like Sligo's lovely Bud Clydesdale-- what do you call it, a diorama? Some friends were really into it for a while, so I ended up going a fair bit, but I have never really been a big fan.

Though I do like Sligo’s lovely Bud Clydesdale– what do you call it, a diorama?
