Furey’s Pub

What a pub! A cosy spot nestled on Bridge Street, gets very busy at weekends but its all part of the atmosphere. The barman are brilliant, so friendly and accommodating, and you’re not standing 4 deep from the bar to order a drink like other places. On Friday’s they host a regular vinyl night from Turn It On, a pretty unique night out for Sligo and its consistently good — they mix it up with a range of different people playing their vinyl collections on the decks every week, it could be shoegaze one night, house another! There’s always some sort of music night on here, on various nights of the week — they’re quite active on social media, so check out their facebook page to see whats on.
The drink prices are unbeatable, you’ll have change from a tenner if you order two spirits (and a dash in each). There’s a tiny wee smoking area down the back near the toilets, which is likely part of its attraction, so you’re not left loitering outside the front door on the street — you still feel part of the place, by not leaving the building.
The interior is standard for an Irish pub but there’s a eclectic collections of curios behind the bar — reflecting the owner Paul’s tastes, and by extension the cooler clientele it attracts — stickers from the famous Ace Bar in London for example. Its a really great night out if you’re in Sligo, and you’ll meet some interesting people here — of all ages.
