OUR HISTORY
Walker 1781 opened in the heart of Sligo in March 2020 but our history dates back to the 1781, when John Walker signed the first lease on the building — hence our name.
Nos. 11 & 12 O’Connell Street were owned by a Mrs Dunne who lived in an apartment above her shop. As she had been a widow since 1904, Mrs Dunne gifted the building to her niece, Mary Palmer, when she died in 1939.
The building has been within the Palmer family ever since. In fact, Mary Palmer is the great grandmother of Ross Palmer, who is behind the redevelopment of Walker 1781.
The premises has gone through many different reincarnations from John Walker’s bar and Mrs Dunne’s shop in the 1900s to a pharmacy and, more recently, a well-known pub to now — a quality bar and restaurant, serving up premium pub food in Sligo.
With a menu to suit all tastes, our family restaurant in the heart of Sligo offers traditional, local produce with a contemporary twist.
