The best restaurants

12/10/2025: My friends and I came across an Síbín on a night in Lough rea recently. 'Ollie Rocks' was playing that night and he playing everything!! People were up jiving including the owner Cathal. Emma, Cathal and staff are very friendly and engaging providing a lovely atmosphere with lots of craic. We'll be back!

09/10/2025: I popped into sibin while in Loughrea, the service was unbelievable and staff were great, bar woman Ella very chatty very friendly , amazing experience

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.

29/09/2024: Delighted with the fabulous chocolate biscuit cake Ted made for my husband's 60th birthday party whose a big Smiths fan, it added to the whole occasion and tasted delicious also.

03/06/2024: That's the place I will play deep house this Friday the 7th 😎

07/05/2024: I have really good memories about this place and spending Fridays there after work, however I need to give 4 of 5, because the music there can be sometimes incredibly loud that you can’t hear person next to you. I would understand this in club or bar in the city centre but not in the business park pub where people come after work to talk 😪 when some DJs were playing there the music was good tho if you like tech-house/techno vibe 🙌🏼

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

13/01/2025: Nice spice bag and lovely curry sauce , huge portion

21/10/2024: Ordered so many times from here. Food is really good. Never had an issue with them. Delivery is blazing fast. I don't know why so many negative reviews, maybe they just got unlucky.

01/08/2025: Nice local, friendly and good pint of Guinness

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.

26/05/2025: Best place for a flat white in the country. Amazing food and staff are wonderful

26/04/2025: Great place to stop off after the Saturday parkrun beside the fairies too 🧚 Best ever bacon bap and cuppa highly recommend shame it’s 2 hours from home. almost forgot the bench is heated!!
