    I'm pretty sure it's closed and for sale. Not certain it's for sale, but it was closed. No other bar with early licence. Find a hotel, you lush:P:D

    All the best bars look like you'll catch an sti if you don't put a condom on the barstool first...Which makes the harbour one of the best there is!

    Would you really want an early house with style? No, for me the crappier the better.


    <cough>

    Not that I would ever frequent such an establishment personally...

    As you enter the Quayside multi-storey from Union Street/Mid-Block side, it's straight ahead in all it's World Cup 2002, Tri-colour finery.

    Really has a zesty appeal of an establishment buzzing with young socialites doesn't it?

    Totally agree with this! I always think that modern pubs or pubs that have been newly renovated and done up have no soul!

    Was in the Harbour bar a few times, I think the last time I was there was in 2002 when Ireland were playing Cameroon at something like 7 in the morning during the world cup, good times.

    I remember the Harbour Bar used to have Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Aston Villa, Arsenal, Celtic, Sligo Rovers, Leeds Utd...and other crests painted on the walls, all except.........Man Utd!

    I don't think they liked United somehow. That's what won me over.

    I used to go there on an odd Saturday to watch football. They had a lively, unpretentious and friendly crowd with nice staff and a decent pint. I agree it wouldn't have been the cleanest place on Gods earth but so what.

    I also remember a great sign outside on the the specially painted green, white and orange walls for the 2002 World Cup.

    Something like,

    GOOD LUCK TO MICK
    AND THE LADS
    (Thanks a lot Roy)

    Early licences were granted to certain premises in port towns to facilitate sailors and harbour workers at odd times. Seeing as Sligo Harbour Board has all but destroyed Sligo as a viable port, I suppose there's no need for an early house any more. Not that factory workers and taxi drivers would be best pleased about that:(

    As previous posters have said the Harbour has been closed for a good few years.
    There is a few pubs that still open early (albeit not legally). You may need to be a local or known to get in.
