The Bailey Bar in Athlone

Excellent food, the staff was amazing. Our waitress, Shauna, was personable, knowledgeable, and a good deal of fun to banter with. Cathal was able at the bar, and Colin, who is the owner, stopped by to chat, and made sure our experience was outstanding in all areas. The chef is gifted, and everytyfrom the beef to the homemade strawberry ice cream was worth a special trip.

I didn't stay in the rooms, but if they are anything like the food, you will not be disappointed. We came here not entirely sure what to expect, but it was a recommendation from a local, Timmy, who works at the oldest recorded pub in the world, Sean's pub and inn. The people are pleasant to chat with, the atmosphere is very relaxing, and the music is well-chosen. 10/10 would recommend to friends.

Owner couldn’t be more lovely and welcoming. Food was 1000%. Will definitely be back

A buzzing lively bar with good food, lovely staff and great location. We stayed one night, our 3 bed family room was ideal, the ensuite was well appointed and gleaming. Breakfast was delicious, coffee was excellent, and the price for all was very reasonable. Definitely recommend a visit. At the time of our stay (July 2025) the new owner, an absolute gent, was rejuvenating the property, I look forward to going back and seeing what he has done.

Great place for a quick bite. Service was excellent and good, tasty, wholesome food. Will return for sure
