Thomas Connolly’s, Traditional pub in Sligo, Ireland
Thomas Connolly's is a traditional pub situated along Markievicz Road in Sligo, featuring multiple rooms adorned with dark wood paneling and antique decorative pieces. The establishment maintains a diverse collection of around 160 whiskey varieties and serves local craft beers.
The pub received its first license in 1861 and came under Thomas Connolly's ownership in 1890, the year he was elected Mayor of Sligo. His arrival brought a new phase to the establishment's story.
Sunday evenings bring together local musicians who play traditional Irish tunes and ballads in the rooms here, making it a place where regional musical traditions remain alive.
The pub opens daily with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays, allowing visitors to plan accordingly. Its multiple rooms offer different spaces to settle into depending on preference.
The building once operated as both a pub and a grocery store during its maritime trading days, selling essentials like tea, sugar, and bottled whiskey to the community. This dual purpose was common for rural trading hubs of that era.
