The best restaurants in Athenry

15/03/2025: This is a delightful, even slightly quirky restaurant. The staff were courteous and friendly. Service was very efficient. For me as a vegetarian, it was one of the best meals out I have had in a long time. We also had breakfast the next morning and again the vegetarian option was excellent. I felt that the vegetarian menu was imaginative and delicious.

11/03/2025: We stopped in for a quick lunch on our way west and were very very happily surprised at how good the food was, how interesting the menu is, and how good the service was.

27/02/2025: Had a wonderful time here! Friendly staff and the owner Kevin was so welcoming. The other guests were so friendly and the beer was top notch.

18/02/2025: Went in for lunch at 3. Cash only as card machine was down. Food was good. Beef stew and mash. Good size servings. Guinness was also very good.

20/12/2024: Nice cafe that isn't the usual chain cafe. Also has a great weekly tapas menu on a Saturday night

28/09/2024: Once we got given a table the waitresses were refusing to serve my husband and I. we waited for at least 17minutes and other people coming in way after us were getting served first. Very rude and unprofessional

14/02/2025: stopped here twice during our week in ireland and it was so good we had to leave a review. we only had hot drinks but highly reccomended the chai lattes! the service was warm and welcoming. even the other customers were lovely and inviting. in a society of big coffee chains it’s lovely to see good independent cafés and to see a community come together to support a small business is heart warming!

08/02/2025: Crepes are delicious. Coffee ie very nice. Nice friendly atmosphere. Great little gem of a find

02/03/2025: Lovely local pub with great community atmosphere. Great for watching matches.

09/06/2024: Very friendly and efficient staff. Very clean pub with great atmosphere

03/08/2024: We were there for 3 days and it was super fun in The Central Bar, highly recommended to have a beer there in the evening with the local people. We spent the night around the corner at The Old Barracks hotel, which is highly recommended and the breakfast is delicious.

31/01/2025: Coffee from here is bland, much better available elsewhere in town

15/10/2024: Amazing service. 10/10 would recommend

11/03/2025: One of best pizza places in ireland.

22/03/2025: Lovely pub, great atmosphere with a great amount of beers on tap, good selection of whiskies aswell. Murphys was avaliable on draught which was great to see and tasted just as it should.

13/03/2025: Great service 👏 very quaint I loved it! Quirky details! The most delicious food full of flavour! Great service, friendly and helpful 👍

18/02/2025: Great hotel, really friendly staff, we have not stayed here so I did not see the rooms. Can highly recommend the atmosphere and dining experience. Great options and great value for money.

23/03/2025: We stayed here for 2 nights for a wedding. Nice, well maintained hotel with great attentive staff who were always happy to help and answered the phone very quickly. Leisure facilities were good, clean and looked after, you need to wear a swim hat but these can be loaned from leisure reception or brought for 2.50 euro. Only very minor gripes were that the shower in the room was a bit temperamental with the hot and cold and it wasn't that powerful. Also breakfast was pretty average, did the job but nothing to write home about. If it wasn't for these two points then it would have been 5 stars.

19/03/2025: Reception staff very friendly, room was basic but lovely clean plenty towels and tea/coffee biscuits. We booked a time for dinner as we were told it be safer we arrived down and seated very quickly, but it went down hill after that the waiting to order and for food to come was very slow. Very slow to clear table i had bring up glasses myself as i was afraid the child would break one. Bar staff had no interest in being there they were so slow to take order was left waiting at least 5/6 minutes every time one off us went up to order and it wasnt busy 2/3 sitting at bar. From a publican to another they need more training in dealing with customers or new staff hired that want to do the job. Pool facilities were lovely. Overall it was a lovely stay just need new bar staff.
