The best restaurants in Athenry

03/04/2025: Dined here on "Mothers Day" which is usually a challenging day for restaurants but you couldn't say it had any impact on the service we received. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. we were promptly seated on arrival, there was no delay in getting menus, ordering etc. we had some kids and adults in our party and Lauren and the rest of the staff were so patient and attentive they made us feel as though we were the only table in the restaurant (we absolutely were not the only table, it was really really busy). Main courses were fantastic, kids food (with individually spec'd bugers!!) was spot on, the beef main course was incredible (and the kids half roast was monstrous and every bit as good as the adults!!). We were dining late in the day and while they were trying to wind down the day (I think they had closed the doors by the time we ordered dessert) they remained as attentive and helpful as ever. at no stage did we feel like we had overstayed and we left very much in our own time. a beautiful setting to boot but the champions here were the food and the service. couldn't recommend this highly enough, will certainly be back!!

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

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

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.

19/10/2024: Wonderful Irish bar and entertainment was awesome, Moonlight Eclipse❗👍❗🇮🇪

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.
