We were set up to meet back at Thomas Connolly bar for our free pint of Guinness. We shared some tables in the back while one of the ladies performed on her guitar as well as her Irish whistle. She claims she used to perform with the Chieftains back in the day. Very funny and knowledgeable. She asked for a drummer so I offered up my had at keeping time on her oversized tamberine (flat drum). All the pubs so far have very friendly staff.

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.

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!

The beef stew was excellent. The lamb liver was very good, though a tiny bit overdone. As good as the food was the ambience and the staff. It's a bit off the beaten path, and that means it attracts more locals than tourists. The staff were friendly and very forthcoming with their own personal favorite items on the menu. Worth the effort for a little bit of extra walking. Be advised that they do charge for a pitcher of water.

Since we weren't exactly mixing it up with multiple nights at similar pubs, it was essential to add some variety to our ordering. Not that I couldn't eat roast every night, but the wife needed a few more choices. It was no problem here, and being on the first level plenty of fast, efficient wait staff. The only problem is what to order. If Irish Pubs are typically like the American Diner, the choices at The Belfry are like Cheesecake Factory! So much food, only two rugby match halves! My wife singled out the lamb stew on the way in the door, so she was locked in from the starting gun. I was torn but not going to veer too far from something huge-meat. I almost, almost got the Marc's Baked Ribs. A last second check-swing; I chose the Joint of Sherlocks Irish Beef. If it sounds like you'd be down for the count after consuming that, you'd be right. Way better than an earlier roast dish in another town, it restored my faith in that Irish pub staple. Back to those ribs, the table next store got them and I definitely had order envy. As if I weren't headed toward the coma cliff at 79 kph (nod to all you metric lovers which I'm not), I decided to put the pedal to the floor when after spotting the beer flight poster on the wall. Even better, you could pick any three! I'm in: light to dark. All local, of course I'm a tourist so one choice had to be Guinness. Thank goodness my wife is terrified of me driving in the left because I could do with the nappy-nap on the way to the coast. Nice all around time here, exceeding my expectations and dispelling any leeriness of a tourist trap. I'll return if I can on my next trip to the Mecca of Sligo.
