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.

    An incredible dining experience. Beautiful views, fun, friendly service from the start. Excellent preparation and presentation, the hot smoked sea bass was sublime and a highlight of the menu. Main course of lobster and lamb tagine were also impressive. Great wine choices - the Malbec in particular! 5* highly, highly recommended!

    Overall very happy with the experience as it was my first time in Driftwood. We had a starters that was shared between two of us Buffalo wings. I would say the bowl for dipping your fingers in clean was a bit shallow as two people were sharing the starter. Two of us had the nachos we just found the portion was a bit small for €14.95 and the salsa was a bit bland, a little bit more needed or smaller extra portion on the side could have been offered. I had fish and chips. Fish was very nice. Chips were a little bit scares again for the price a few extra in future. The derserts were very nice the services very good girls very friendly , not sure if they came over and asked if everything was okay? and did we need anything else? Overall very good, clean warm friendly easy to book had food there after a hotbox at the point so we were hungry. Thanks
