They talk about our pickled oysters and the ease they bring to the world of oysters “Her ingenuity in creating the handsome jars of pickled oysters is terrific. What is it about oysters that stresses people? Opening them.”
We are in great company with Ciara and Brigitta who are also mentioned in the article 😊
Thank you John and Sally for the amazing feature!

Sligo Oyster Experience
Aisling spent years studying and working abroad before returning to her roots and settling back in her hometown of Sligo. She now runs a busy café in what used to be the family pub, The Punchbowl. It is located in the heart of Sligo Town and adjacent to the famous W.B. Yeats Statue, from where the café got it’s name. The family lived upstairs for a while when Aisling was younger and she has fond memories of helping out around the pub and the music for which the Punchbowl became well known for. Her parents were well-known business people in Sligo town. Kevin Kelly opened the Punchbowl in 1968 and Pearl ran Kay’s Boutique next to the pub and Downtown Boutique on O’Connell Street. Aisling studied Business and Tourism before travelling to San Francisco to see the sights and build her hospitality skills. Through her travels Aisling gained invaluable experience which ranged from the service industry to organising group travel and educational tours. In 2014, Aisling decided to open a café in the family premises and within a few weeks had renovated and upcycled anything of use, even the old bar counter remains in the coffee house today. On a personal level her fiancee Glenn introduced her to Oysters, their history, harvesting and Sligo Bay. For the last three years Aisling has been strongly involved with the Sligo Food Trail. She has been involved in Foodie Destination bids, attending Meitheal, trade show on their behalf with chairman Anthony Gray. She has recently completed the Acorn Programme, which she found hugely beneficial in planning the expansion of the business. Aisling is also a member of the Sligo BIDS committee.
Bringing all her experience on a professional and personal connections together. After almost 4 years of business, Aisling spotted a niche…and the Sligo Oyster Experience was born.
Sligo Oyster Experience
The Sligo Oyster Experience begins with a short, scenic walk over Hyde Bridge where you can admire the Garavogue River which flows to Sligo Bay and feeds the oyster beds. Your guide, Aisling will direct you to the famous WB Yeats statue where you will hear stories of summers spent by William Butler Yeats here in Sligo. Learn the history of our native oysters which grew in Sligo and Rosses Point. You will then visit WB’s Coffee House where Aisling will guide you through the history of oyster harvesting on the Wild Atlantic Way and how these methods have continued or adapted today. Learn the tricks of the trade with an oyster shucking demonstration and take photos of your experience at the oyster bar. Indulge in Sligo Bay Oysters as a selection of naked or dressed Sligo Bay Oysters are freshly prepared for you. The oysters are served with a glass of crisp white wine, which have been carefully selected to compliment the oysters. Local Sligo Craft Beer also available.
