The Irish stew and burgers were fabulous. The service was good for only having one server working. She was friendly and always had a smile! She took time to answer our questions. I would definitely recommend this Pub for a tasty lunch! read more

Stumbled across this pub on a lengthy drive between hotels. What a wonderful spot. The Guinness flowed and our server seated us in a very nice booth. The interior was phenomenally pub forward with dark wood and historic adornments. My pot of mussels were the best I had while in Ireland. The liquor of a broth was perfect. If I lived anywhere near here it would be a weekly stop. If you're in the area do yourself a favor and stop in. read more

Albeit a stereotypical lunch of fish and chips, theirs was very good. Light breading, hot chips and a properly poured beer. The service was fast and the setting was very relaxing and full of the Irish pub vibe. A nice stop to lunch to be sure. read more

Found this Pub on Good Eats Ireland website and it did not disappoint. I believe this is one of the oldest pubs in the quaint town of Sligo. Although Ireland knows how to do hearty breakfast, really good lunches and dinners were harder to come by, with the exception of Hargadons. The menu here is more elevated than normal pub food and the flavors were fantastic, easily one of our most memorable meals while in Ireland. The pub runs deep space wise although it was rainy, it was not cold enough to enjoy the fireplaces here. We tried the risotto with scallops 5 stars, this dish made us very happy, generous portion and scallops were cooked to perfection, best scallops I've had anywhere, loved the fresh greens as garnish on the top, perfectly seasoned, not overly salty, risotto perfection , lamb stew 4 stars, beautiful presentation, light on the lamb, I took a bite was not overly impressed but dish was enjoyed by my husband, would not order again though beet salad with goat cheese 5 stars does not do this salad justice, easily one of the best bites in the whole trip, if not one of the best salads I've ever tasted, perfect balance of flavors, the warm goat cheese was outstanding! Still thinking about our experience here with fond memories! read more

Fantastic seafood chowder! Traditional rustic atmosphere. Our server was super sweet. Just the stop we needed on our drive north

Great place for a modern style pub. They got a table for two in on a Saturday night around 7:30 in about 10 minutes. Excellent drinks. Excellent service. The food was very good. One note: the potatoes are a drier style, so don't expect an American mash with lots of butter. Order a side of butter garlic sauce. I had the ribeye with mash and pepper sauce. The steak was so good I used all the sauce on the mash. My husband ordered the Bangers and mash and it was very good as well. The sausage was mild and the sauce was more of an American traditional brown gravy than the tangy brown sauce we've had with other bangers and mash at Irish pubs. Overall, highly recommend! read more

Old pub with great atmosphere and equally great food. Just what we wanted after wandering away from our hotel on a drizzly Irish evening.Husband had prawns with chili sauce, salad, and fluffy bread. I had the lamb burger (very good taste but the meat was a little too compacted), salad (great house dressing) and a glass of Malbec. Nice leisurely meal. Do not expect to be hurried. Friendly wait staff. read more

Best seafood chowder I've had!! The food is incredible- well-flavored, and satisfying portions. The chowder was full of hearty chunks of seafood, tender and so tasty! I got a bulmer's cider as well, with black currant cordial. Not to be missed! read more

There appear to be many, many good places to eat a meal in Sligo. For a town this size, it's really quite impressive how many trendy, foodie, local, organic restaurants there are. Choosing one and only one is difficult, so hopefully this review can help you decide if Hargadons is for you. It's old. It's family-owned. The pub feels like a secret hideaway with so many snugs and nooks and crannies, you could be eating dinner beside your next door neighbor and not even know it. So if you're looking for a romantic night, or an intimate dinner with friends, it's actually quite perfect. There are several beers on draft, the most interesting of which is from a microbrewery in Cork called 8 degrees. A microbrewery in Ireland that serves somewhat hoppy beer! Amazing! The menu is gastropub and CHEAP. Ten euros for a meal of duck confit with blueberry sauce? Hip hip hooray! We had the duck confit and the beef burger. Both were outstanding. I had a glass of wine (this place is owned by the same people as Source Sligo, so the wine selection is the same), and marveled at the exellent selection at such a great price. And the plate of chips (real large chips, one platter is enough for two) was crispy, moist inside and perfectly salted. In summary: regal pub atmosphere with snugs, nooks and crannies; gourmet gastropub menu with excellent food; great tap selection (in Ireland); excellent reasonably-priced wine selection; good service. The only downside is that it is, after all, a pub. So if you want something a little different, it may not be for you. read more

Great authentic sligo pub! Fantastic interior and atmosphere, good craic!

The local tourist information suggested we try this pub and this was one of the most authentic places we had the pleasure visiting and eating. The food and presentation was very good. A must try when in Sligo. read more

A little warren of rooms with a surprisingly lovely, light and bright back patio, complete with cover to keep off that pesky rain. Food was good, I appreciated the farm connections on the menu. Even though the place was packed and we were only one of two tables on the back patio, service was quick. Love the little nook up front that was probably for women or clergymen - all of us folk that weren't supposed to be seen in pubs once upon a time. History, good food, great central location? It's a winner. Wish I had known about the craft beers though! read more

This place was on my radar well before getting to town. They've got craft beers from all over Ireland as well as the normal ones. The wines are from all over, they've just added a nice Albariño as well. We tried the bangers and mash with onion sauce and their own chips. Everything was great. They're in the Good Food Ireland scheme as well. The even grow their own vegetables, greens, etc. All meats and fish are sourced locally. read more

Most towns in Ireland have a couple of "must go there" pubs if you're from out of town and are visiting. I suspect Hargadons must be on the list for anyone visiting Sligo town centre. It's a great layout - old style, retaining a classic look with probably a bit to modernisation done over the last few years. Passes the "feels real" test though that can be important if you're partial to a good pub. Does food and of course, drinks. We only drank :-) Staff were great, and the snug was excellent (we caught it just as people were leaving, score! :-) Anyway - will be back and will try the food next time out. read more

Really cool authentic Irish pub with pretty good food. We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and were lucky to get a table. I had the rigatoni and my hubs had the "grilled cheese" sandwich. The pasta was really rich and decadent - a bit sweet for my taste but otherwise hearty. The sandwich was ... well weird but tasty. It was more like an open face sandwich expect it wasn't served on slides bread it was just a loaf of bread. Anyway the service was great and we enjoyed the atmosphere!! Stop in here for some authenticity and good grub! read more

We tend to drop in here when visiting Sligo. It's a lovely pub, with private booths along the side. But, also very comfortable to hang round the front and have a bit of banter with the locals. Lovely, creamy Guinness. Your missing out if you don't stop by this spot. Great, friendly staff. read more

great bar in sligo was there recently on a visit home very nice atmosphere and reasonably priced as well. Its very central which is great for meeting friends and its not too loud which is good for having the craic read more

Yeap big fan of this place. Great food, excellent atmosphere...has that old country man's pub feel and also the turf fire to boot. Be careful at lunch time as it's very popular and tough to get a seat between 1 and 2. Also the staff and service are second to none. Kenny Appleby read more

I have to admit, we hit Hargadons on the wrong night, when everyone else was watching football in bars that had TV's. However, we were hungry and never have cared about football, so there we were. It was just me and husband, eating some stellar seafood in an empty bar. Hargadon's is part of a group of businesses called "Good Food Ireland", which means they have locally sourced, high-quality food. Husband had seafood paella, which was just perfectly seasoned, to not overpower the taste of the seafood, but still give that floral saffron scent. I had a big bowl of mussels in cream sauce. Maybe this is pretty standard fare around Ireland, but I'm from a place where fresh seafood is a real luxury, so take it for what its worth - I thought they were incredible. The portion was really huge, but between the two of us, we somehow managed to eat all of that delicious food. The prices are reasonable here, 10-15 euro for some upscale pub grub. The atmosphere is pretty touristy, with old-fashioned guiness posters all over the place, but sometimes touristy is fun. We had a great evening despite the lack of football, and I'd absolutely recommended Hargadon's to a fellow food-loving traveler. read more

My father and I recently visited Sligo, and stopped in Hargadons for dinner. We made our way to the back dining room. It was very small and cozy, but in my book, this is a plus, not a bad thing. I ordered an Irish cheese plate and a glass of wine, and highly enjoyed both. My dad ordered the duck with cabbage and a blueberry sauce, and I kept sneaking bits of cabbage off his plate because it was so tasty. Highly enjoyed our meal here, and it looked like the people having drinks up front were having fun, too. read more

Great atmosphere, attentive, nice wait person, but meh food. I had the crab salad, fairly tasteless, hubby had the hake fish dish which came atop a stew like mixture of beans and carrots. He said it was good. Prices were reasonable. With so many great pubs in Ireland this one only rates 3 stars from me. read more

My husband had the Irish stew which he said is one of the best that he has had. For me, I enjoyed the Irish tagine which was very good. Service was good too. read more

I was starting to get disappointed by my overall food experience in Ireland, however Hargadons was the food highlight on my trip. We only had a short time in Sligo and we were rushed to get food. I was very pleased with the great fast service we received, and the waiter was very friendly. He even gave us some tips of places to go to. I had the goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes on homemade tomato bread served warm with tossed salad and onion chilli marmalade. The ingredients were so fresh and the combination of all the flavors, hot and cold temperatures, and textures worked perfectly. I could not even drink my Guinness because I was so focused on eating my great meal. I wish we had more time to spend in Sligo it looked like a cute little area. read more

We came to this restaurant based on on yelp and tripadvisor reviews, and we were VERY dissapointed with the service, wait times, and food. So we got there at 3:40 and they said that dinner starts at 4, so we said "totally ok we will wait" and the hostess seemed distressed that we wanted to eat. But after that everything was fine, but drink service was slow and inconsistent. Then we ordered food which took around an hour and some change, which would've been fine if the food was any good. The steak was obviously not a rib eye and way overcooked, the burger was like a dry hockey puck, a chicken risotto was missing chicken, and the scallop situation requires a whole sentence. So we ordered 3 scallop appetizers (5 each per appetizer) and they ended up sharing 2 scallops cut into 15 pieces, and then out waitress argued with us about the whole situation and blamed us for ordering an appetizer even though that was not enough for an appetizer. After much debate we finally got the scallops taken off our bill. The only good thing about our experience was the atmosphere and the sea bass filet. Hopefully this was just an off day and they are usually better! read more

Exactly what I hope for in a gastropub: great food (duck confit-yum), lovely staff, good selection of beers, and nice old-timey feel. A must-visit in Sligo. read more

Difficult to get a seat in here due to layout of the pub, which is quite narrow from front to back. Food is generally quite good. However the menu prices were recently increased resulting in questionable value for money. Quite ridiculously I've found myself and my dining companions almost hounded by the staff to settle our meal / drinks bill before 10pm as the floor staff finish at this time. Net result - we went somewhere else for after dinner drinks! 6/10. read more

This is an authentic Irish pub that had exceptional food to boot. I would expect this kind of food in Dublin or London, but in Sligo was a surprise! Incredibly attentive service, and well-made, creative fresh food. What a pleasant surprise. I would happily return. read more

So disappointing. Menu has changed since I was last here - for the worse. And the staff were impatient and rude. Never going back.

They poured a great pint! We had dessert there, and the chocolate brownie with whiskey ice cream was to die for! Cute little cozy booths to sink into and enjoy your beer and food. I would definitely recommend it. read more

Definitely a real Irish Pub feeling. Dirty though. Slanted floor and Great Wall decor/old bottles etc. So happy we stopped here. We only had a quick pint of Guinness then continued on our journey. read more
