humm... So lots of it depends what you are looking for! On monday never miss the Clarence it is full of Irish and you will never see Sligo as cazy as it is> Do as you are Irish during the Rag Week: crazy week, no school only parties everywher,everytime! Then to go out from thusday to Sunday night : The Envy or Toffs to go out, The Shennanigans ( some bad guys in charge of security..) but it is free and you can danse as in a niteclub!!when sun or warm day come: Mc Huggs!!! Lots of Pub are really nice in Sligo and more Irish but these u must discover by yourself : just on tuesday, karaoke in The Stables, good fun guarantee!
