The best restaurantsof irish in Athlone

07/07/2025: After a full weekend of tennis this was a great place to visit and relax and make plans for the next few weekends. It is not far from the tennis club either . Food was great, service was great and they have a good wine list.

13/06/2025: We dined at Thyme this evening (first time). The interior in beautiful shades of green is stunning and so inviting. We had the filet and the halibut dishes. The 4 courses were just perfect. Very creative in both presentation and the various tastes which complement each other. The service was excellent with very knowledgeable and friendly staff!!!

10/06/2025: Food was amazing and staff were lovely

09/06/2025: The food was super delicious, especially the baked salmon with a wine and dill cream. We were very satisfied!

29/06/2025: Looked great walking in and really busy. Food was average at best though which was disappointing considering the prices.

15/06/2025: First time at Left Bank Bistro. Had lunch here with the family. On the booking I had indicated we were celebrating a birthday but there was no effort made about that. We asked about gluten free options. One waitress told us spring rolls were gluten free but then when ordering another waiter said they were not and actually provided us with the allergen menu. The only gluten free starter was a salad. I was let down by the lack of coeliac friendly dishes on the menu. The restaurant gets quite loud when busy. There are no soft furnishings to absorb the sound, which I'd recommend adding cushions to chairs. We asked if one of the waiters could take a photo of the group and we felt very much like they couldn't get us out the door fast enough. Definitely lacking the personable and welcoming touch I'd expect from any restaurant. I'm unlikely to return soon due to my experience.

28/05/2025: The Bailey pub and rooms in Athlone put the very Ritz Carlton to shame! The impeccable drinks, staff, banter, and grub are supreme to say the least. If you want a proper Irish experience in a tasty friendly pub, this is thee place. You must not miss the potato's skins ..divine! Plus, the whiskey and pints are the best in all of the Emerald Isle.... in my humble opinion. Do it! And tell our new friends Collin, Shayna, and O'Shea that we said HOWDY! Get you some. A +! ...... we are going back later too!

27/05/2025: Had a pretty good dinner had the hamburger. Printed room bed and breakfast on the website it makes it sound like breakfast is included for the price it wasn't. Only coffee but the best thing about it was they had construction underneath my room until past 10:00 p.m. and then thinking I'm getting complimentary breakfast for the price should have been included they had me wait until 11:00 because of problems with the kitchen to tell me that it's not included. One sign says opens at 10:00 a.m. one sign says 10:30 they're saying 11:00
