The best restaurants

16/06/2024: This restaurant is closed down but still taking orders and money

24/07/2025: Excellent pub for cheap drinks and quiet conversation without the loud music getting in the way.

29/04/2025: Excellent low key pub with friendly locals and barman. I could have stayed all day with that group.

14/12/2025: First visit in 30+ years of frequent visits to the area. Authentic. Friendly. Welcoming. If you're looking for fancy food, head further into town. Otherwise, get the finger food platter. Good pint. Dave recommends. Dave will return.

25/08/2025: Friendly authentic neighborhood pub. Owner and locals were warm and congenial. Made us feel right at home. Highly recommend.

29/11/2025: Mery is wonderful and gave us great service. The place is beautiful and well worth a visit. Highly recommended.

17/10/2025: Lovely pub, very clean, great friendly staff and lovely Guinness. Cheer

20/10/2024: Great traditional Irish Pub, good beer and company

29/10/2025: An institution! Always welcoming 🙏 😊 Those who know....know

14/09/2025: This was shaping up to be a great spot, but for some reason they got rid of the manager. It has been downhill since, he was the life blood of the place, great energy! Pity it's a nice spot, it was worth stopping in Monuntrath for, but not anymore.

06/05/2025: Fantastic food. Great value and really really tasty. Excellent service , loads of space and v clean. Will definitely be back 👍

02/11/2025: All food premade and reheated. The sausages looked microwaved and were not eaten.

29/09/2025: The location of this place is great. Unfortunately, the food is below average. The burgers we ordered were cold and quite plain. Honestly the worst burgers we've ever tried. It's a shame.

11/07/2025: Got the crumbed fish and it was absolutely delicious. Chip were lovely also. Just a pity so far away from home (Northern Ireland) or I would be here more often

17/11/2024: Very dissatisfied and disappointed as they always take the need to have a break like it’s an ice cream parlour why do you need breaks ?

12/10/2024: Very disappointed. I come to this area quite often & found this particular truck which I would have been a regular at HAD I NOT BEEN OVERCHARGED!! I ordered 4 small ice creams which were advertised for €3.50 each - which totals to €14 but the lady had the audacity to charge me €18.30.. I’ve seen some reviews about them doing this to other people, raging I didn’t look at the reviews beforehand as had my hands full & was in a hurry to get the family ice creams before heading to our destination. Won’t be coming here again anyway. You overcharged me €4.30 & lost out on a potentially regular customer which would have been worth more than €4.30!!

17/06/2025: Hi there I have seen your question regarding The Venue and I just wanted to say that I have attended the concert of "The year that grunge broke " previously at the Venue in Athlone town . I attended the concert with friends on the night and the concert lasted two hours.
