Stopped in again for the fish and chips and pot pie. Unfortunately, no pot pie on the menu - my partner is disappointed. The fish and chips were great again - nice big piece of cod. My partner ordered the corned beef and cabbage - thin slices of beef with crunchy cabbage. No bread was offered. We asked for some - none available. We were offered a sliced roll and accepted but no butter. Service is poor as they are tending bar rather than waiting tables. read more

we went here to the upstairs room for a catered meeting event. the food was very good. there was an excellent selection of mid level foods veggies cheeses salads and appetizers, a lot of plastic plateware knives and forks, and plenty of seating room. there was a service attendant to help with food. we had an open/cash bar which was nicely appointed and an excellent bartender. i dont actually drink but my diet cokes were great. i do tip well which was appreciated. they are pros at this place, not kids pretending to be restaurant people. i gotta say, that's what i like. we had live music--an older fella on an organ/electric keyboards playing the nuttiest keyboard filled versions of rock songs ever--kind of a cross between elevator music and soft rock! i really liked it---strange but great! and not too loud, so we all could mingle & talk. after the event wound down, the attendants asked if we wanted to take food home--and they had plenty of containers to doggy bag the food in!! everyone took two big containers of food home. we did--we have hungry boys at home! so, excellent catered event. not really a review of the downstairs or the bar, but if you wanted to cater a group event, this a a good pick, and centrally located in Media, PA. read more

Pretty cool spot. Great location of course, on State Street in Media. The bartenders have always been nice over the past few years I've visited. I especially like the "Orange Crush" cocktail. I hope that always stays on the menu! read more

Somewhere between Meh and A-OK. I attended a meeting here in the front bar area at the tables behind the bar. Happy hour was ending so there were some luke-warm mozzarella sticks and dried out wings in a chafing dish. Yuck. (But free.) The food I ordered (albeit a garden salad) was fresh but boring. Others plates looked unappetizing - fish & chips was a huge piece of fish in a THICK coating of batter. (And chips which I don't eat). Servers were pleasant and owner is a wonderful supporter of the community and my kid's school - but I am not impressed by the "classic" pub fare. Also it gets LOUD in there, but that is a sign of a good pub. Blah. read more

I personally enjoy Sligo's. I think it's a good place to just go grab a bite to eat. It always has good beers and a fairly healthy choice on the menu for healthy eaters like myself. Today I had a their salmon Caesar salad. It had enough dressing but not too much dressing like some places do and the piece of salmon was fairly large. read more

Sligo - Fish & Chips Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

Back when Sligo opened it was a refreshing change for the Media dinning scene. Sadly the passing of time has not been good for Sligo. The venerable Fish and chips, once served on a paper bag, with a large portion of fish and loads of chips has become two over fried "fish sticks" served with chips that were an hour or so past their prime. One of our party ordered the chicken pot pie, which was slightly burnt and lacking in chicken. We stopped in to play trivia as our usual haunt, Iron Hill had canceled trivia the previous Monday due to the World Series. This had to be the worst trivia I have ever witnessed! The trivia guy seemed to be using a Mr. Microphone and a single speaker with audio quality just slightly better than two cans and a string. Avoid the trivia and dine there at your own risk. If enough Yelpers complain they may turn things around before they disappear. read more

Great place to stop for good food, great drinks and great conversation -- especially if you don't feel like going into Philly on a Saturday night. Looking for a lively place to hang out with the flair of warmly toned traditional public house decor, then you've come to the right spot! If you plan on going on a night where there's live music or on Tuesday Night Trivia, make sure to arrive early! Not sure what to order? You can't go wrong with the Sligo Burger with a side of fries. Don't leave without trying either the Apple Sangria or Caramel Apple Martini. Trust me... read more

Great service and even better food! Had the chicken sand which and the wings! Great choices! Really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the friendly locals. Will definitely go back if ever in the area! read more

Sligo - Great beer choice! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

One of my FAVORITE places to eat. When I first moved here I came to this place first and there was live Irish music playing and I felt at home. The food is also amazing, and I'm a Guiness LOVER so of course that helps. Great atmosphere, and lovely staff. read more

Great happy hour and ambiance. Solid mix of bar and restaurant vibe. Irish music on Monday

Went there for the second time in the past 7 months or so. Both times on weekends and both times there was a live jam band. This was a great addition as there is less and less live music these days. Drinks for reasonable- 9.75 for a Yuengling and a Guinness draft which is good. Very busy inside. We didn't have any food so I cannot comment on that but we enjoyed ourselves. 4 out of 5 stars because they try to pass off fake Red Bull in the soda gun for real Red Bull. I hate that. Just get the real stuff! read more

Went for a friends birthday celebration on Saturday night. Media was bumping, with people everywhere, but Sligo was a great spot. Bartenders were outstanding - in spite of it being mobbed, all three were on their game all night. Prices on drinks were good and we never had to wait more then a moment or two for our next round. Waitresses were great too, constantly vigilant of our tables. Menu looked good, and specials looked excellent. We will have to try it for a meal, but as a spot on a Saturday night, it was terrific. Good band playing, good crowd, good prices, great staff. read more

This is a great neighborhood place that I frequent for the Thursday happy hour special. My boyfriend is obsessed with their oysters. He not only loves the quality and price (they are $1 on Thursday), but also the size. He calls them "oyster steaks" because they are quite often pretty big. I do not eat oysters, but do like to tag along because they have a great rotating selection on tap. My favorite thing is that during happy hour I can get a 5 pour flight for $5. This way I get to try a good portion of what's on tap before ordering a full beer. The service is generally really friendly and very prompt. The one thing I did not care for was the crab cake. That is the only thing I would not recommend here that I have tried. read more

NOT GOOD AND DANGEROUS! First let me start by saying this was our second time at Sligo, the first being in early 2020 and everything was amazing. My boyfriend and I went back last night for dinner around 6:30. our intention was to order the fish and chips but it was sold out. No problem. We started with the popcorn chicken and for the entrees, I ordered a Sligo burger and my boyfriend had the Fried Chicken sandwich. The popcorn chicken was ok, could have used another minute in the fryer because it wasn't crispy. The Sligo burger was so salty you couldn't even taste the meat. 3 bites and I was done. Saving the best for last..... the CHICKEN was RAW!!!!! The waitress took his meal back and apologized, which was not her fault. She came back and told us that she had comped the meal. Which was very generous of her. We waited 45 minutes for her to bring out a new sandwich for him and nothing. Finally, we called her over and asked, which she said the kitchen is closed. How do you 1) close a kitchen before 9pm on a Friday night and 2) not tell us that from the start?! PS, the website says dining hours until 11pm. I understand the pressures that restaurants have been under due to covid but at the very least, cook the chicken correctly. We won't be going back a 3rd time. read more

Love this place. I've always had a good time. We had a great waitress, Francesca, and a real smart guy who recommended some great bourbons to try. Food was delicious, had the nachos w short ribs, wings, and cheese fries along w plenty of drinks. Definitely the best service and place to party on State street!! Recommended to all!! read more

Sligo - Fish & Chips Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

I'm a fan of Sligo's if only for the great pour of Guinness and the solid Irish fare (Shepherds Pie almost as good as mom's). The rest of the menu is pretty good, if a little small, and they carry a nice variety of beers to please others in your group. As for most places in Media, it may be a little over priced, but not by much. It's a decent place to hang out at night with a group of friends and you can catch whatever game on either the two tv's behind the bar or their over sized 12 ft HD projection screen. Watched a few Phillies playoffs games here over the past few years and it was a great atmosphere. Not my first recommendation to people in the area, but it fills the niche of an Irish pub in Media, especially when you need a pint and some bangers and mash! read more

Linda the waitress is amazing. The food and portions are always great. My dad likes their trivia. Never disappointed

I went to Dining with the Stars with friends and they picked this place. Despite the negative reviews, I figured I would try it and judge for myself. Sometimes good reviews don't always equal a good experience. First off, they ran out of mac n cheese on the kids menu when they told us they had it. Second of all we had a table of 10, ordered food and plenty of drinks. They were making money off us. They forgot my meal and told me 3 x it was coming. I finally ask the manager to be honest and she says okay we forgot it. It finally arrives after I ask a couple times. They don't offer to give us a comp or discount. I had to ask and the manager refuses and gives me a crappy $4 beer on tap. When my scallop slider meal arrives, it's slimy and swimming in some mayo aioli that was flavorless. My boyfriend ordered the shepard's pie andI can honestly say that a Budget Gourmet one would have been 10x better. If you want to go for a beer, it may not be a bad place. For food, would not recommend. Since we were a larger party, they added gratuity. I did not want to make a stink with a large group. If it was just me, I would have left a 5% tip and that's being generous. read more

I have worked in the industry for 5 years and I cannot believe how incredibly unprofessional Sligo has been. They charged my card for someone else's tab and gave my debit card to someone else and that individual subsequently spent a great deal of money. Huge issue with the bank, cancel and replace my card etc. When I called to speak to a manager I was told for 3 days that there was "not a manager there".... I understand that accidents do happen but I expect at least a courtesy phone call for an employee error that resulted in such chaos. When I finally did speak with a manager he let me know that he had never heard any messages, he wasn't sure what I wanted him to do and that it is a "drinking establishment...mistakes happen" indicating maybe the bartender was drunk? There are enough bars in Media to avoid such a horrible experience again. read more

Well I was excited to try the restaurant but after waiting 30 minutes for a table I sat for 20 minutes waiting for a menu while watching the customers seated with us get drinks, menus and have orders taken. Sadly and to my dismay the front of house manager just looked at us and did nothing so my party of four walked out and still he said nothing while watching us leave. Shame because they threw away an easy 200 dollar check. read more

I really enjoyed Sligo when it first opened but have been there only once this past year due to being busy with the kids. The kids and I decided to go in yesterday while we were in Media for the day. Upon my first bite, I was sickened. I checked the kid's food and it was also bad, I suspect it was what the food was cooked in. The waitress was first unresponsive and eventually refused to take the food off the bill. Fast forward about an hour and a half and my son and I were VIOLENTLY ill. We both had only taken one bite and I didn't even chew or swallow mine. My poor son spent the evening in the OR. I went there in person today to tell the manager about it and was treated very poorly. First, they refused to find the manager. The man I did speak with immediately started shaking his head while I tried to tell him what happened and then just denied any possibility that their food made us sick. He belligerently tried to explain to me what black pudding was (I knew) and eventually resorted to a dismissive "Yeah, okay lady." He wasn't responding to me being offensive or irrational for I am very uncomfortable with confrontation and could barely make myself heard as it was. I am sad this happened. I love Media. I love Irish pubs. I expect pub food to be what it is - pub food - but not poisonous! I am also not vindictive but was treated so rudely and dismissively that I now feel it important to warn others. My CHILDREN ate there. What if my fifty pound son had actually eaten his meal instead of taking one bite? Shame on Sligo! Stay away from the place! read more

Love this bar! My husband and I go when we want a really filling meal and a beer. their food is surprisingly good. My favorite entree is the buffalo chicken salad and my husband's is the fish and chips. And Ann V, that was the Bangers and Mashed!! Interesting dish. Just give me my salad and a couple of cold Blue Moons and I'm set to go! read more

Stopped here during that Americana festival. Bad service!! we sat n sat before anyone greeted us and when she did she was dull and unpleasant even though we were cheerful and friendly. When she brought the food she sat it on the table without a word and walked off. Not even you're welcome.. Wtf? The food was lamb tacos which were just ok (the lamb was pungent) and this huge dish of nachos. The nachos were literally gross! Covered in some mound of white stuff that I had to ask what it even was. She said it was cheese sauce hahah it was tasteless creamy salt sauce and made the chips soggy. We ate maybe 6 chips. Ughh I really wanted to love this place. read more

I like Sligo. Pretty nice place and they always have good craft beer on tap. Personally a fan of the "IPA tap". Over the last few months they've had: Avery, Loose Cannon, and a really cool German Maiback from Rogue (Oregan Brewery) called Dead Guy Ale. Never had the food as I've only been there to play quizzo with the media townies. It's a solid go-to place if you're not into the Joclyn's scene. read more

Came in with my wife while visiting Media, we did a mini pub crawl, her and I, and as always stopped for a pint in Sligo. Love this place. Reminds me a little of Dublin, the bartender was attentive, the apps were spot on, had some witty banter with a local lawyer, just a real nice experience on a very low key day. I will definitely be back. Spoke to the bartender for a bit and we are looking forward to some Fall and Winter specials coming up on the menu. Nothing beats hearty comfort food and a Stout in the colder months. read more

For what it is, food here tends to be a bit overpriced. I will say I haven't had a burger I didn't like mainly due to the Pat Lafrieda status. It's easy to get one of the window seats and nice sitting there on a warmer day. It definitely has the pub feel. I'm not a big beer drinker but have learned not to order any mixed drinks here because it's very hit or miss depending on your bartender. Truly the worst thing about this place is the wait staff. With exception of a few friendly bartenders, and maybe 1-2 really nice waitresses, they seem to be Incredibly bored and don't care that you know it. We stopped in to try some new menu items and our waitress (on a not at all busy night) ignored all eye contact when we needed something, practically threw our drinks and our check on the table, and just had a lousy attitude. Completely unprofessional. We will stick to eating at the bar. read more

Great place forr a good beer in Everyone's Hometown of Media. Buddy and me sidled up to the bar where a good selection of craft beers on tap (read Yard's Brawler, Victory and Troegs) were poured by a welcoming staff. Good beer, good service and great atmosphere. Food looked good coming out of the kitchen and we will return. Thanks read more

I had lunch here on a Saturday. Sat at the bar. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was good, but nothing special. They had 6 craft beers on tap - not as many as a place like Quotations, but it's good that they had any at all I guess. Food menu is a bit small. Wish there were more things to choose from. I would probably go back if I was craving Irish food like bangers and mash or shepherd's pie. read more

I really enjoy this place when you can get a seat! Either bar or table. Foods good, they have a small but good selection of rotating beers and all in all is a pleasant time. However, I can only give it 3 stars Bc the service here is just terrible. Both servers and bartenders are very pleasant but they are so unattentive to customers. The past 5 times or so I've been here it takes a ridiculously long time to take our order or even for a beer at the bar. I've bartended for years and the one thing I've always made sure of was that all my customers, including tables, always had a drink and isn't waiting 10 minutes just for someone to ask. I feel that a lot of people who work at Sligo are more interested in talking to friends or regulars and don't give full attention to other paying customers. Example - we were here recently and a whole 7 people were at the bar and 2 tables were filled and it took such a long time for our second drink bc the employees were hanging at the service bar and not paying attention to our empty drinks. Note to the manager- I like it a lot here but please address your staff with this matter. It's the only reason we don't come as often as we'd like. read more

This place is a good pub for beer. The food, not so much. I ordered a burger, medium, which came out well done and was overall just really bland. They have a lot of interesting beers on tap that they rotate often, which is always good for me. The location was also great for me, as it was a block and a half away from my boyfriend's apartment. I think in the future, I'll just stick to beer here. And maybe, if I'm feeling frisky, I'll go with a more Irish influenced dish, which I hear they do a good job with. read more

Mmmm bar foood. Not sure what I was eating but it had mashed potatoes, meat, and a boatload of grease!!!!!!!!! I can't figure out what it was called... had the word Pie in it. Something Pie... read more

I went here last night, and I was really annoyed with how rude the manager was to my friends and I. For starters, we sat down at a table, and (reasonably) expected to get service there. Instead, this woman comes over and barks at us, demanding to know whether some of the party members started a bar tab. (They did.) She didn't even ASK if we wanted to start a tab at the table, she just snarled at us and walked away before taking an order. She kept giving us nasty looks, and then I realized it was because we had an EMPTY growler and a takeout container from dinner with us. We did not once open the growler or even make motions that we were going to, we just thought it would be nice to grab a drink after dinner. Silly us! We then moved to a table outside, and waited for 30 minutes to finally get some service. This was after that nasty woman came out 3 different times and gave us a dirty look each time. One of our party members went inside to use the restroom, and she almost barreled into him, and then screamed that PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET THROUGH HERE. I don't know what her problem was, but none of us were demanding or rude ... how could we be when we didn't even get any service in the first place? So, we aren't going back. I'd rather go to Philadelphia and go to a real Irish pub that has decent food and polite staff rather than walk the 2 blocks to Sligo and get treated like garbage for no apparent reason. read more

I have been dining in restaurants in media all of my life this restaurant had the slowest service undercooked food which then they proceeded to microwave and management was atrocious if there's a restaurant in media that needs rescued this is the one, would never patronize this establishment again! read more

Blah. Food was just ok. Wish I was in the mood for beer because it looked like they had some pretty good selections. If I came back here, it would be strictly for the beer and NOT the food. read more

This place had a good run but it's gone way downhill, the food is terrible and the service is worse. Heaven help you if you end up here on a Friday night and aren't a college kid, this is why the respectable patrons are frequenting places further up the street. Food is frozen, sub-standard fare, there really is no reason to come here. read more

One of my favorite go-to places on State Street. Yes, the menu is limited but food and drink prices are on par with the rest of downtown Media. They always have something on the menu for me, and their on-tap list is really quite good. Consistently great service. I especially love to sit in one of the front tables in good weather when they've got the windows open! read more

First time..last time!! Just went in for some food and drinks after work. The waitress spilled a tray with 5 drinks in my lap. I was not offered a towel and when the bill came there was no discount. 10% would have gone a long way to make things right. She did apologize but it's 19 degrees out and I was soaked from my thighs to inside my shoes. Not a good walk to the car! The food was meh and the drinks were ok but not to wear! read more

Great food selection! Wonderful staff and brunch is by far my favorite special to Attend at Sligo

Hands down Sligo has the best Guinness pour in all of Delaware County. I can't tell you how many times my pint has tasted like metal because of CO2 lines, or I've watched bartenders pour the head off my beer or I've received a Guinness in a Budweiser glass, but it's been enough that I'll buy a can over ordering a draft Guinness if I'm anywhere but Sligo in Media. Their Irish faire will satiate any Irish Pub goer and if you have a more sensitive palate, the muscles, winter boxty and Irish breakfast should meet your needs. If you haven't been here in a while, you should try out the new chef/menu and revisit the media atmosphere within. Just don't take my bar stool. It's to the left of the taps. read more

Decent food, but service was great. Claire is truly my new, favorite server ever!
