We arrived a bit early, before the restaurant was officially open, but we could get a Guinness at the bar and relax till the dinner hour. I ordered the early bird special, which consisted of your choice of starter, main course, and dessert, all for 20 Euro, which is really a bargain. I had the vegetable soup (hot and absolutely delicious), salmon (good, served on mashed potato, with a side of vegetables), and the apple pie (good and not too sweet, served with both cream and a milk type sauce which I liked very much). All in all, a lovely restaurant, attentive waitstaff, good food, and reasonable prices. I'm loving Sligo more and more.

Instead, it was a narrow gothic bar filled with stained glass, nooks and crannies and an old musty smell. If Harry Potter had jumped out of the shadows I wouldn't have been surprised! The musicians sat at the front of the pub and when we arrived only amounted to three: button accordion, rhythm guitar and flute. Within twenty minutes or so, however, a couple more fiddlers showed up, one who was a man with a newsboy cap and a whimsical smile on his face. The moment he began playing it was obvious that he was an expert at courting a crowd. He had that charisma and vitality. A bar patron informed us that this fiddler was none other than Steve Wickham of the famous band the Waterboys, a musician widely regarded as the world's best rock fiddle player. According to what we were told, he lived just outside Sligo and loved to frequent Shoot the Crows for trad sessions. His playing infused the session with a frenetic energy and they played Music for a Found Harmonium, as well as a set of Maid Behind the Bar, Cooleys and Sally Gardens. Wonderful renditions! The atmosphere at the pub was very welcoming and supportive of the musicians and due to the length of the bar, if music wasnt your thing, you could easily have sat at the back of the place, unbothered by the tinkling up front. But if you like trad and don't mind a little grungy goth, you'll find some magic here.

'Shoots' as its affectionately known locally, would be my first choice for a drink out with friends. By virtue of the 'cosy' atmosphere of this wee pub, this place fills up quickly at weekends. For a catch up with friends the coveted seat down the back with the roaring turf fire is the place to be. The bar staff are great, always up for a chat, and don't throw us out on our ear when we've overstayed our welcome on Saturday night. Its that sort of place, you'd happily spend the evening here - meeting old and new faces. Despite coming here over the past five years when I'm home in Sligo, I've never actually been here for a trad session, shockingly as it seems to be renowned for it. The seating is a bit battered, so ladies - don't wear your best hosiery for fear of getting it caught on a nail or whatever, and the toilets are a bit grotty, but that's not what makes this place five star. The soundtrack is the excited hum of conversation. No TV playing football on a loop, a feature that detracts from some of my other favourite pubs in this town. The famous window at the front changes design every few months - painted by a local artist, one of the many things that make this place unique. Don't overlook this spot on a trip to Sligo!

They are all very knowledgeable about the area and have some amazing stories to tell! The walls of the pub itself also tell a story, with lots of personal photos and trinkets collected over the years by the family. They also serve the best pint of Guinness in the land! It's a great spot to come with a big group of friends, there's loads of space and also a room with a pool table! The pub itself doesn't serve food, but they very kindly allow you to bring food in from the neighbouring takeaway while you enjoy your drinks which is brilliant! Always make sure to drop by when I'm in the area, it's well worth it!
