Great for scenic views
Charming
Neighbourhood gem

Whether it is for food, drinks or a good night's sleep, the Driftwood is a place for you to come and unwind in a fun & relaxed, family friendly environment!

The bar & cafe area is the perfect place for some light food or to relax and have a drink, with gorgeous views over Sligo Bay & Oyster Island. Paudie's pitmaster background has played a big influence on The Driftwood Smokehouse Restaurant, with smoked meats and seafood playing a central part of the menu, which have been slow cooked in the smoker for up to 15 hours, to give a gorgeous flavour & tender texture.

IT'S OUR 1ST TIME TO EAT HERE. WE'RE VERY SUPER DISSAPOINTED. Stay away from this. The food is crap and with the expensive price. NOT WORTH IT. WASTE OF MONEY. WE REALLY REGRET TO EAT HERE. NEVER AGAIN.
