The sad demise of Ireland’s pubs – and 10 to visit while you still can
Connolly’s, Sligo
On the go (in some iteration) since 1780, Connolly’s is a classic Irish boozer, with apothecary-style drawers behind the bar and battered wood as far as the eye can see. It’s also a good spot for whiskey fans – they host the local whiskey club once a month and have their own seven-year-old single malt, made with the nearby distillery Athrú.

20 of the best pubs in Ireland for pints, music and the time of your life
Thomas Connolly, Sligo town
Known for: An extensive whiskey list
Sligo is known as the resting place of poet WB Yeats, and many make the trip to pay their respects at the Nobel prize winner's grave in Drumcliff. A stop-off at Thomas Connolly is highly recommended; it’s best known for the warm welcome, famous pints of stout, regular live music and an ever-growing range of over 200 premium Irish whiskeys and scotch. You can raise a glass to the great writer.
