What People Are Saying About Sligo Pub

In Short
Weekend nights can get a bit crowded with overflow from the neighboring Burren, but most nights find a good mix of colorful locals, newly minted hipsters and crusty older gentlemen engaged in Guinness-soaked arguments. The tight quarters of the railroad-style bar ensure that, for better or worse, everybody talks to everybody else. The jukebox is pure classic rock, with Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones and Tom Petty in nightly rotation.

With Davis Square Somerville getting more and more yuppified it's nice to have one last bastion of scuminess. The beer is really cheap, there's a backdoor to escape out of and the place smells like a mens room. And speaking of mens rooms, Sligo's has no t.p., one can, no lock on the door and no mirror. That being said the hipsters and yuppies have discovered the 'Sligo' as well and have nearly ruined the weekend scene. The weeknights are still good however and the weekdays even better. If you need to be left alone while you drink a beer than Sligo's is the place. The men at the bar have seen almost as many tours in Nam as they have at the bar itself. But unlike Charlie they won't smoke you out, they'll leave you alone. AS for food I think they sell chips.

A pint of Guiness for only $2.50! Unless this bar was filled with pedifiles and republicans, how could you keep me away?! Actually, the people (workers and patrons) here are great and I always feel at home when visitiing for more reasons than the cheap beer. I like their jukebox too!
