22/07/2025: Lovely spot in the middle of the town for a coffee pick me up and a slice of cake or bun. It’s v busy but had quite a lot of seating. My son loves the Cornish pasties which make for a lovely breakfast or lunch on the campsite. Coffee is good

22/07/2025: Expérience agréable pour un déjeuner à 6. De bon sandwiches, bien que le pain mériterait de gagner en qualité, et de très bonnes pâtisseries. Beaucoup de choix, le tout pour un prix correct.

10/09/2025: I recently visited a McDonald's location, and overall, I had a great experience. The service was fast and efficient, and the staff were friendly and polite. The food was hot and fresh — I ordered a Big Mac, fries, and a Coke, and everything tasted just the way I expected. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, with plenty of seating available. I also liked that they had self-service kiosks, which made ordering very convenient. Of course, McDonald’s isn’t fine dining, but for a quick meal at an affordable price, it’s always a reliable choice.

10/09/2025: Very pleased with the food at McDonald's! Everything was fresh and tasty - crispy French fries, not oversalted, juicy and well-assembled burgers. I especially liked the Chickenburger - tender chicken fillet, tasty sauce and fresh vegetables. The drinks were cold, the desserts were, as always, top-notch. It's nice that the taste is familiar and consistent - you always know what you're getting. A great place for a quick and tasty snack

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.

15/09/2025: Great location, attentive staff, comfortable room, lovely pool. I have stayed here many times and it always meets expectations.

14/09/2025: Rooms are dated, so parking lot was packed when we arrived due to a wedding. Worked for a one night stop but could use some renovation work

14/09/2025: Friendly owners with a very comfortable bar and a really nice beer garden. Stop in for a pint (or 2 :)

13/09/2025: We stopped here while on a tour to Galway. What a fun atmosphere! A bachelorette party arrived while we were there. So much fun we almost missed our bus to Galway! Pat gave us a hello and great service. Highly recommend!

24/09/2025: Great craic, great service and greater pints!

23/09/2025: Best chipper around , the food is amazing and comes exactly how you want it .. Food is fresh & the staff are absolutely amazing and a pleasure to deal with

18/10/2025: Thank you! I live in Kinnegard, Westmead. I’m from Bangladesh and always enjoy your kebab pizza — it’s delicious every time!😘

02/10/2025: A fruity chilli sauce on a gritty kebab, not what I would recommend. Also the chips are hard, not fresh and wierdly fishy. Probably cooked in the same oil as some fish a few hours ago.

27/07/2025: Below average experience. The food is ok. Portion size is absolutely terrible. Been here a few times but the last time was the final straw. Came here one day when it was busy, was just popping in with 3 friends to get a pint and be ok our way. There was a few people looking for seats so I approached the bar and asked the guy (mid 40’s?) about just sitting at the bar for a pint and he was absolutely foul mannered. He said “why don’t you join the queue like everyone else trying to get a table in here” I love locally and this bar/restaurant is quite close to me, many occasions I choose to go elsewhere for food and drinks. In this day and age that behaviour is unacceptable That episode, along with the overpriced menu and small food portion sizes and that barman’s behaviour ultimately made my decision on the palace. Couple weeks later “the shack” came up in conversation with different friends suggesting places to eat; I shut it down. Funnily enough one of the people in the group said that they ordered food weeks earlier and the same guy was intimidating to her because she didn’t eat her food and was pushing for answers, she was hungover and explained nothing was wrong with it. Won’t be returning, and I’ll be telling others the same story.

18/07/2025: Great atmosphere, delicious food, great drinks, and friendly personable service. Wife and I visited Athlone from the UK and were so glad we came here for lunch, highly recommend.

22/09/2025: Had a absolutely fantastic dinner with a group of 20 yesterday. Food was amazing hot and plentiful. Staff could not do enough for us . Would definitely return in the further

27/07/2025: We had dinner here last night for my parents wedding anniversary. Everything was fantastic, the staff were all lovely and the food was great. The manager was very nice and the attention to detail was great. I would highly recommend this place

07/06/2025: The coffee is delicious. The staff is nice.

19/05/2025: Coffee and Carrot Cake, very tasty, good quality.

27/08/2025: The course was grand, not great but not the worst. Strange layout, especially when it came to holes 7-9. From viewing the tee times online it appeared to be pretty free, so we were looking forward to enjoying a comfortable round. When we got down there it was jammed. Waiting to tee off on every hole, having to play through, the worst experience I've ever had with slow play and a lot of reluctance from groups ahead to let quicker players play through. There was also a lot of teenagers there. Appeared as if they just walked in without booking. Meet the same groups all over the course. Basically they were just chopping and changing to whatever hole they wanted to play?? We then got held up AGAIN on a par 5 by a lady (assume she is a member) who looked to practicing with multiple balls around the green. After waiting and seeing no sign off her to move on, our frustration got the better off us so we decided to hit in to her as we knew at this stage we wouldn't be returning. I'd recommend they employ a course ranger for a while at least, to eliminate slow play and walk ons. We didn't even finish the last 2 holes as when we were finishing on 16 we saw the same group yet again sitting down in the 17 tee box. Great to see youth in the club, but this free for all approache is simply not good enough. They need to be educated and adhere to the rules like everyone else.

25/03/2025: Never played before lovely course some great holes greens were superb for time of year definitely goin back in the summer very enjoyable
