Nuts Corner in Athlone

Our visit was ruined for 4 English people visiting Ireland by 1 man wearing a Celtic football shirt. Who on hearing my son’s accent. Started shouting sectarian comments across the bar. He was quickly shut up by the management. This has NEVER happened to us in over 40 years of visiting Athlone & hopefully was an isolated incident. Such a shame. 1 idiot ruined our visit

For a small looking pub on the outside it has plenty of welcome space. The sign on the door outside said live football, horse racing etc and we weren't disappointed as there is a paddy power bookmakers a few doors down. Michelle and Rachel were very welcoming and chatty despite dealing with customers. Highly recommend a visit if your a sports fan or otherwise.
