    A bit odd alright. Cool place I gotta say. In Sligo now for uni and spent a lot of time there in my first year. Maybe they are doing the upstairs for a band to perform.

    It's the summer.....Sligo should be buzzing now!!! :confused:

    I always liked the place - always busy enough, but never packed & the music was usually good.

    The staff member who turned up for her shift yesterday moring was told not to bother opening by the owner. My guess is the bank pulled the plug.

    We don't know for certain it's closing down. Let's be optimistic here.

    It is gone all right at least under current management, and it was the revenue that intervened, as somebody else said earlier, the Sheriff moved in and siezed everything.

    Well my friend works in Hargadon's so I'll be in there. Still haven't made it in yet, but I'm working on it.

    Hopefully McGarrigles will have new owners and be back.

    Spent many, many drunken nights/evenings/afternoons in McGarrigles over the years. Don't get out anymore so only in once or twice under the new management. Shame if it's gone. Too many "super" pubs with loud chart music, ignorant bar staff and no atmoshere. If I wanted that, I'd go to a nightclub:D.

    I'm amazed that nobody has commented about the management and staff at this place. The most unfriendly I've ever witnessed in any Irish pub.

    I have no real experience of the place in the last few years. Used to be a very laid back place when I frequented it.

    Believe the new owner is a very excellent publican lady who also operates Cahaneys on mail coach rd. Best of luck to her and seasons greetings to all.

    It's her son who's running it. I'm sure he's be less than impressed to read the comment above which is slanderous in the extreme
