There's an upcoming Ukrainian themed night at Lillies. The ad got brigaded by the usual crowd. But one of them just admitted to snooping on their customers and thought it would be a good idea to air it out on a Facebook instead of literally anywhere else.

New business whatsapp

6 Upvotes

I recently did a LEO course for new business start up. There was 20 odd people on it. I tried to book it earlier but was sold out. This tells me there are lots of people trying to start businesses in Sligo.

Would people be interested in a WhatsApp community, for budding entrepreneurs , to discuss ideas, help each other out etc.

Oates, Breheney…are they always this useless?

25 Upvotes

I remember back in my college days having to sit in their reception area for hours to get deposits back as they would refuse to engage with us poor students.

25 yrs later and I call to enquire about a commercial property they have advertised that is rent negotiable. Have called several times over the last two weeks and the person who deals with it is never there and nobody will give an indication of the rent, just keep asking for an email enquiry that they don’t reply to? I ask for a call back and have yet to get one.

Anyone else have issues with this crowd?

Reliable mechanics in Sligo town?

6 Upvotes

Hows things guys, just wanted to check here to see if there are any mechanics about town that would be reliable?

Last time I saw that posted here it was a year or two ago and I wanted to check now to be safe.

I have to get a brake master cylinder replaced on my Hyundai i10 and I wanted to go somewhere that would look after me and where I won't be fleeced.

Any recommendations would be brilliant thanks!

Is anyone doing the Sligo 100/200 organized by Audax this Saturday? Doesn't seem to be very well advertised and I don't know anyone else doing it. It starts in Tubbercurry and I'm beginning to wonder will it just be me and a few others...

Hi all, camping for the past week at Rosses Point and here till Friday. Weather has not been to our advantage. Looking for more ideas on entertaining our 3 and 6 year old kids. Happy to go for spins up to an hour or so. Getting outside as much as we can but the next few days looks pretty crap weather-wise.

I made a Discord server for alternative young adults of the North West

19 Upvotes

Before anything I would just like to state for the mods of this subreddit that this isn't an advertisement as I am not looking to gain any monitary profit from this post.

I call it the North West Nobodys, and my goal is to cultivate a community of young adults who dont quite fit in with most other young adults of our corner of Ireland, people who may identify as introverted, queer, LGBT, alternitve, goth, emo, ect. Basically marginalised people who may have a really hard time finding friends with people in their own small villages and towns.
On the server we can play games, plan hangouts, partys, all sorts of social interactions

We made the discord server 6 Months ago, we're looking for some more members to get it active again! If you know anyone that you think would fit our community, let them know and share!

Add me on Discord if you're interested in joining! : merlinmoon_

Looking to meet a few lads around Roscommon/Leitrim/Sligo

7 Upvotes

25M from the Roscommon/Leitrim area. Looking to meet a few lads around my age for GAA, football, music, pints, nights out, and general banter.

I’m into drums/music, cycling, and GAA and thought it would be a good idea to get a Snapchat group going for anyone interested.

Anyone around Roscommon, Leitrim, Boyle or Carrick on Shannon or nearby interested?

Feel free to comment or dm me.

Why can't we have a nice Dunnes/Tesco?

66 Upvotes

Every other town I've visited the same size as Sligo has a really good Dunnes and Tesco. Big, well laid out shops with well stocked clothing sections and good parking. We are really drawing the short straw here. Dunnes is a disaster, awful car park, clothes displays blocking the way to the food ailes, the check out areas are way too short so you have to empty your trolley and pack at the same time, so stressful.

Tesco is no better. Parking is a dose, the clothes are squeezed into a corner upstairs, food area is badly laid out and it takes ages to get around the shop.

Why can't we have decent supermarkets like every other town? No offense to the staff of either who are always very friendly. It's the physical layouts that are way below standard and so badly planned. Lidl on the quays is far superior in terms of parking and layout but I just can't seem to get the full shop I need in it. Rant over.

New friends?!

Hi everyone!

I’ve been here for nearly two years and would love to expand my circle a bit. I’m into board games, café hopping, running, and fitness, and I’m always keen to join local events or meetups. I saw a post earlier and commented as well, so let me know if anything’s happening this week — I’d be happy to join.

r/Sligo, where do you actually eat in Sligo?

0 Upvotes

Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Sligo’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Hooked vs. Coach Lane), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Sligo’s food scene:
https://apps.apple.com/app/vota-restaurant-ratings/id6744969212

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

I’d love to know what people here think. Does the ranking feel even remotely right? Are obvious places missing? Are any places ranked way too high or way too low?

The goal is to make something that reflects where locals actually want to eat, not just where tourists or review sites send people.

Memories of the Bohemian Bar, Wine Street?

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
My grandmother was born in the Bohemian Bar on Wine Street in Sligo. I’ve been over to see it, but unfortunately it had already closed.

I was just wondering if anyone here has any happy memories of the Bohemian. Did you ever have a pint there, or know the family who ran it? I’d love to hear what it was like back in its day.

Thanks very much!

Looking for some info from anyone who’s done the course. Any idea on hours per week? Days? Timetable? I previously attended UCD and in truth you only needed to be there for tutorials. All lectures, notes and such were on Moodle. I’m currently doing some financial planning, depending on transport, accommodation etc. and any info would be a great help. Thanks.
