Worth a detour! The…read moreCottage Restaurant just happened to be near the country house my family rented. Located in quaint little Jamestown, it's set alongside the river, with cows grazing alongside the bank. To call it idyllic doesn't quite capture -- it's ridiculously charming. I emailed to secure a booking a few weeks before as we had 6 adults and a child for a Friday evening -- they replied quickly and we were all set. We showed at our appointed time and were shown to a lovely nearly private table in the back room. All very smooth. My husband proclaimed "Best Meal in Ireland." (and he's eaten many after traveling/living there on and off for several years). And I must concur. A standout -- the Kids Menu! None of this garbage food to be found (chicken nuggets, etc). My son ate beef noodles fit for a king for about 6 euro. Unreal, it was so good my brother and husband were both sneaking bites of it. If you have kids, they shall not be disappointed here and you will not feel guilty giving them yet another plate of chips and grease! The Adult food was also exceptional! The duck was glorious! The steak a vision! There was not a miss in the bunch, and the complimentary starter and fresh made in-house bread basket was divine. A Malaysian Chef doing things up right over here in small town Ireland. A treat to be sure. If you are anywhere near -- make this a destination for your next dinner. One funny thing (which is totally fine) -- it may be the only eating/drinking establishment that does NOT serve Guinness. Totally ok for me, and it forced my dad to try some local brew, but worth nothing if you have any grumpy Guinness folks in the group! This ENTIRE amazing meal was 250 euros. This included wine, drinks, beers, multiple courses and a very happy kid eating beef noodles. A true value to be sure, everyone remarked that they thought it should cost far more -- so this really is a testament to great food at a great price.

We had bought a groupon for our first trip to Ireland. We stayed in 3 different castles in a week…read more The castles were majestic and incredible, but we wanted a bit more of the feel of hard working Irish people. At the Castle they told us there were some nice pubs in carrick-on-Shannon. We took a cab into town and wandered into the Anchorage. This place made our trip. The bar tender and owner could not have been more warm and friendly. My wife and sister-in-law chatted with her for hours. My brother-in-law and I mingled with some of the gentlemen in the bar, and found everyone to be friendly and warm. The owner went out of her way to make us all feel welcome. My wife and my sister-in-law had forgotten to pack hair conditioner. After the owners shift ended, without ant prompting except for bar discussions, went out and bought them a big bottle of conditioner. If you want to make your Ireland experience truly special.....have a pint of Guiness here.

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.
