I live in Tubbercurry, quite a small town, about 35km away from Sligo, the next slightly bigger small town. 
Generally speaking both towns feel safe to me but of course just like everywhere else I would recommend not to walk isolated areas, particularly at times when there are no people around. 
Overall people are very friendly and helpful here.

Sligo, located in the northwest of Ireland, is a vibrant coastal town known for its stunning natural scenery and rich cultural heritage. Nestled amid the gently sloping Ben Bulben mountain and the scenic Atlantic coastline, Sligofied prides itself on its immersive literary history, grounded in the life of Irish poet, W.B. Yeats. Delve into Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, explore beaches adorned with ancient ruins, embark on a spiritual journey through sacred Neolithic sites or simply enjoy traditional music in Sligo's warm welcoming pubs. With its a range of outdoor activities such as surfing, hiking, and cycling, and a thriving arts scene, Sligo effortlessly captures the heart of every globetrotter seeking for both adventure and tranquility.

I felt extremely safe, it was Christmas time so the decorations and Christmas activities were on. About the food, the places I tried were nice, since the fast food to most fancy restaurants. The city is small so you can explore a lot walking and the streets and shops are beautiful to see. I stayed with family members so can’t say about hotel pricing. My staying has been really good so far!!
