12/05/2025: An excellent find Great food and brilliant service

08/05/2025: Very nice, professional and friendly staff. Excellent food.

22/04/2025: Great place to go for lunch, food excellent. So sad to see it's now closed, definitely was the best around for lunch.

15/03/2025: One of the best places to eat in this beautiful town!!

20/05/2025: I was travelling through Ireland on my own and had a stop in Mullingar. This pub is absolutely lovely. The owners, the staff and the people there are so kind and I felt very welcomed. Even though I was travelling on my own i didn’t feel alone there. I’d definitely recommend popping in there when you are in Mullingar! It’s a very original Irish experience; the beer is amazing and the nights there you’ll never forget!

26/04/2025: This is the nicest bar in all of Ireland. It’s clean, spacious, and has great service and selections. All the staff are warm and friendly.

02/04/2025: This was possibly the worst sandwich I have ever had, I asked for chicken salad sandwich with no tomato, I got soggy bread, that had obviously had tomato picked out, but not before the juice and seeds had soaked into the break, little bit of lettuce and sad chicken also soaked in tomato, my partners food was no better, very disappointing

26/03/2025: What an amazing find. Was recommended by friends and did not disappoint. GREAT service and food .. had phenomenal breakfast

04/05/2025: Beautiful food & wonderful service as always at Weirs last night. Hosts are attentive, always friendly and always have a story to share. Our American friends loved them and said it was best food they've eaten on their trip. Thanks so much Weir's.

03/05/2025: Turned up, no reservation on a Sunday. Wait approx 15 mins to be seated. Was very busy. Menu, good choice. Food and service were excellent. Homemade desserts are amazing. €120 main , desserts and drinks, no alcohol. Nice atmosphere. Decor, lots of curios on the walls and shelves to look at. Would definitely recommend, but would book as popular. Owners are lovely and welcoming. Will go again. Thank you for a great experience.

05/05/2025: Me and my boyfriend were here for dinner on Bank Holiday Sunday night. From start to finish, it was top class. The staff were very attentive, polite, and gave us great advice on the menu. The food was out of this world! We started with the special prawn salad and a spicy & sour beef broth soup – my boyfriend said the soup was absolutely beautiful and full of flavour. For mains, he had the chicken chili basil, and I went with the cod special – absolutely gorgeous, perfectly cooked, and bursting with taste. Generous portions too – loads of rice, and we ordered an extra portion of chips. I also had two glasses of the house Chardonnay, which was lovely. Everything was perfect – food, service, atmosphere. I would highly recommend Kin Cow to anyone visiting Athlone. This is a real, authentic Thai restaurant that should not be missed – if you can get a booking! - Mariana Vasylyk

25/04/2025: Great food. Dishes are fresh and well cooked, but not too spicy. Highly recommend.

13/05/2025: Excellent food & portions. Very enjoyable dine inn & take out is good.

12/05/2025: Very noisy and left to twiddle our thumbs after asking for the bill.

03/05/2025: fab place. popped in after a camogie final. great setvice and food if you're looking for some quality pub grub and a good pint!

30/04/2025: Best breakfast in town Thanks Joe.

19/05/2025: A Truly Memorable Evening Thank you for a wonderful evening and for serving the best Chateaubriand we've ever had. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail, from the service to the presentation, made the experience truly enjoyable. We thoroughly appreciated the care and quality that went into the meal. A night to remember.

04/05/2025: Simply a fabulous restaurant. Best steakhouse I have been to in years in all my travels . This is how a steak should taste and you have not had a proper steak until you have been to the 1810 steakhouse. From start to finish an amazing meal , great wine , great beer and great service. Cannot rate this restaurant highly enough. You gotta try it , a true hidden gem

17/05/2025: Sean's bar is an experience. Different from the usual puns as it is kind of a museum, not only a bar. Very nice open area in the back also with another bar. Own whiskey as the usual beers. Live music in the front. We had a great time there. Staff was quick and super friendly :-)

16/05/2025: Oldest pub in Ireland. Great Irish coffee and Guinness. Nice folks but busy place even at 3 in the afternoon

10/05/2025: My order was surf in turf, lumped together filet steak, chewy and stringy, over pink for medium to well done. Warm water served. Disappointed on this occasion as its not cheap. No reflection on the bill after the complaint.

07/05/2025: Great spot in the town, always buzzing, lovely staff and great food and pints.

10/04/2025: Nice restaurant-pub that we stopped at when driving from Dublin to Galway. Parking just outside and close to the road so it's easy to stop here. Nice staff, Irish feeling and good value, the food tasted good and it was good value.

21/03/2025: This establishment has excellent service and interior. You can find good food, drinks, and comfort here at any time of the year. This place is especially wonderful during the New Year holidays. That is why it is in the TOP 3 of my favorite pubs in Athlone. In my opinion, it's not a cheap PAB.

22/04/2025: Style Over Substance — A Disappointing Experience Visited recently and left thoroughly underwhelmed. This cafe seems far more interested in curating an Instagram-friendly image than delivering anything of actual culinary merit or customer service. I ordered the pulled pork wrap, which came with a sharp mature white cheddar — a bizarre and jarring choice that completely overpowered the pork. My wife's chicken pesto sandwich suffered the same fate: again, sharp cheddar. Why not use something that actually complements pesto, like mozzarella? It’s as if the ingredients were chosen by someone who’s never tasted them together. The accompanying salad was a sad afterthought — either undressed or so lightly dressed that it tasted of absolutely nothing. The coleslaw, meanwhile, was a vivid pink thanks to beetroot juice (I assume), but offered no flavour to justify the visual gimmick. Just another case of style over substance. Service didn’t save the experience either. We walked in to find several dirty tables, and while they were eventually wiped, it was more of a smear job than a clean — food debris was casually pushed onto the floor rather than properly cleared. Staff training, clearly, is minimal at best. To top it off, the menu was virtually unreadable. A dark brown background with black text? Who thought that was a good idea? Anyone with even mild visual impairment would struggle. Accessibility clearly isn’t a concern here. In short, this place is all flash and no flavour — quite literally. Avoid if you actually care about food, service, or being able to read what you’re ordering.

21/04/2025: We were on the road from Dublin to Galway and stopped in this town because we didn’t know where to eat and were hungry. Almost everything was closed or looked really sad and then we found this gem! The food is delicious, the service is very nice and very good vibes overall! Such a nice surprise! If you are in the neighborhood you should definitely stop!

21/04/2025: Beautiful shop and staff are so friendly and helpful

28/03/2025: I had my daughters ears pierced here a couple of months ago. Joanne was amazing with her! She was very patient with my 7 year old daughter and took her time. My daughter's ear looked as if she had always had them done. She's had no infection, and they have healed perfectly. I would definitely recommend Angel Art for piercing! 💚

16/04/2025: Great place lots of cozy and private places to sit and also large area's if you want to have a family or meet friends also nice smoking area if your smoker like myself staff are very accommodating and extremely friendly definitely recommend this place for a coffee or food

06/04/2025: Great breakfast price reasonable 👌 👍
