Biddy O'Dowd's in Athlone

Lovely pub . Lovely staff Lovely pints

What an amazing pub... Unfortunately can't shift the staff 🤣🤣 top notch 💪😔💪

We had the best craic in there with the bar staff, Shannon and bar man Chris on the 16th of July 2025. We were made welcome for the minute we walked in and the other Customers were very friendly. Best of luck Shannon on your travels and we look forward to hearing all about them on our return. Because we will definitely return. Thanks for making our stay in Athlone so remembelabe, From Anne and Tom Prince Kilkenny.

Best pub in Ireland. Stopped in and felt welcomed by the bartender and locals. Ordered a toastie to go, Wow! Best sandwich we ever had. This place is a hidden gem. Highly recommend.

Gottta love a pub quiz on a Monday

This is a proper old school pub. Definitely call in for a pint if you're visiting Athlone. Very nice staff and patrons.

The 2 man band that were playing were unbelievable, they could sing any song and make it sound excellent! They also interacted well with the crowd. I tried 2 different cocktails, and they were both delicious.

If you are looking for a cosy, homely pub this is exactly the place you need to go to. The staff are amazing (shout-out to Trish). If you're looking for a good cocktail she's your woman. The staff in this bar make you feel so welcome everytime and to make it even better the pints are unbelievable! I'll never come to Athlone without hitting Biddy O'Dowd's for one (or 10) 😂.

Cool pub, great example of the pub in the living room. Full of punters for Cheltenham, which is a testament to how high in esteem this pub is held in the town of Athlone. Had a pint of Biddys, a home branded lager, did the job

Excellent service and great atmosphere,even at 1.30 in the afternoon
