Lough Ree Inn in

Beautiful relaxing atmosphere, food was lovely, staff were amazing 👏

We arrived by boat in the early afternoon and sat down in the outdoor seating area. Although four different employees were visible, we weren't served. After 15 minutes, I had to get up and get drinks myself from the bar and learned that the kitchen wouldn't reopen for another half hour. So far, a clearly negative review: 1/5 Now for the positives: As soon as we waved a server over (we were hungry and wanted a light meal), she was cheerful and provided excellent service. We made a reservation for the evening inside, and there, too, we were completely satisfied with the service. 5/5 Food: Simple, but solid. It met the expected price-performance ratio. Conclusion: Always remain friendly. This is how a seemingly negative experience can turn into a positive one.

Had a wonderful lunch earlier this week, Staff were pleasant. Food arrived quickly. And my meal was delicious. New management are creating a fabulous atmosphere in here. Good job team lough ree inn ☺️ I definitely recommend and will be back to return soon !

The new owners are doing a fantastic job. Food is great

Went here today for lunch was disappointed to see the only menu options were fish, chips, burgers and more chips!! Not one healthy option on the menu, the staff said the main restaurant opens at 5pm but wish I knew before hand! Amazing location I would just suggest to add some healthy options for day time especially during a heatwave! It’s hard to eat chips…

Fab food reansobale priced freindly helpful staff

It was really good the food was great, the drinks were great and the staff was nice and the view of the water was also welcome

Hard to know what to say without sounding like I own this place! 😂 I’m from Dublin and don’t know Athlone very well, but the Inn blew us away. We found it by accident while looking for a swim (you can take a dip off the pier at a Coosan point about 100m from the Inn) and stayed afterward for food and a pint. Live music, but not at all intrusive (IYKNK), great buzz from the crowds both outside and in, excellent food and drink and a special mention for the staff who were helpful, polite and professional even though the place was hopping. They even have an ice cream van outside for the kids. I cannot recommend this spot enough. 10/10, no notes. Well done guys, you made our day! We’ll be back without the car next time so we can both stay for a proper drink!! 😂

I really think this place is a hidden gem. I considered not writing a review because I didn't want to spoil the secret, but I just had to. Apart from the efficient and ever-so-patient staff, the beautiful view through the windows, and the enormous, immaculately-kept terrace, the food is just right: portion size, presentation, and variation. I marked it down a point (pettily, I know) because I sincerely think they need to stock a better selection of beers and whiskeys. Apart from that one rather pedantic point, everything else was spot-on. And I thank them so kindly for holding on to our table after I told them we'd be late. Well done on making our visit memorable - although we live a good hour and twenty minutes away, we plan to return as often as we can!

Amazing service, the best cod I have ever eaten. The servers were so helpful and attentive. The chicken and lamb in some dishes are halal also, but make sure to ask beforehand. Good price for value. Can have a nice walk after in the park right next to the restaurant.
