31/01/2026: Beautiful hotel, very clean and updated.

02/12/2025: Christmas Party Night in the Athlone Springs Hotel was absolutely fantastic. From the minute we walked in the door we were looked after. We were greeted by 2 young men with big smiles who offered us complimentary drinks and were very helpful explaining what the different drinks were. We sat down for dinner , which was beautiful. The beef was melt in your mouth divine and the special recipe ice cream was to die for. There was a few games in between courses which I have to say the star of the show was Darren . He kept everyone entertained and was such a super host, i never laughed as much. The interaction with all the people was amazing. The music was brilliant, a great selection to suit all ages. Well done to everyone on the night, including waiters, waitresses, bar staff and management. Great night

22/11/2025: UPDATE: Sister Trish and cleaner Mother has left Biddy’s Pub “ We are Fed Up of his Greed and Bullying “ So who is telling Lies Now readers .. Firstly I would like to state I have been frequenting Biddy’s O’Dowd’s Bar Athlone since Opening in 2022 a Couple of Times a Week during that time I rarely got a bad pint of Guinness their was NO PROBLEM replacing a pint if this happened but in Recent Times Bad Pints of Guinness were a Regular Occurrences at Biddy’s Bar Regrettably .. GREED is a TERRIBLE THING if your in the PUB / CATERING BUSINESS or any business serving the Unsuspecting Citizens of Ireland and Visitors DEADLY PRODUCTS … I have always Promoted Biddy’s O’Dowd’s or similar Business that is Selling Good Food or Drinkable Products I also frequented the old bar in the late 1980’s so I have the Experience of GOOD and BAD products like Guinness for FORTY YEARS which in anyone’s books Qualifies Me to WRITE this Review and Hurts Me at the same Time .. If Irish Citizens the Public Cannot Trust Publicans Luckily they are Rare around Athlone anyway ….. I also was SUBJECTED to Verbal Abuse by Chris Hewitt Licence Owner when he PHONED ME like a Creature POSSESSED … I hung Up on him … I received a Superb Pint of Guinness when i entered the Pub it was Very Quiet and I was the only customer drinking the Good Stuff “Guinness Draught” everyone else was drinking Beers / Larger which should raised a Red Flag for me ….. I complemented Trish Owners sister Chris on the Great Quality of the Guinness as I do Everywhere from Ireland to Portugal and further where I get a Great Pint of Guinness i ordered a Second Pint of Guinness The Second Pint was as different as Chalk and Cheese with Brown / Black Bubbles Accross its Head I won’t say Guinness as it wasn’t Guinness but Slops … How this Transformation from My First Superb Pint of Guinness to the Second Pint is IMPOSSIBLE unless the Barrel was finished and Trish replaced the Guinness Barrel with a New Barrel which was OFF also and could be Replaced with another New Keg if that is what Happened or the Original barrel was tampered with … I made Trish aware of the Problem and she Replied “ it might be the Glasses !!!! “ as she hadn’t changed the Guinness Barrel I left it with her I ordered a Replacement Pint of Guinness Trish but it was EXACTLY the Same UNDRINKABLE I made Trish aware again … New Customer entered the pub and Ordered a Pint of Guinness like a Shot Trish ran again down the stairse to the Cellar .. Trish visits the Cellar Very Frequently .. When Trish pulled and served a Pint of Guinness to the New Customer it looked Exactly the Same as my First Pint of Guinness which was a TOTAL Transformation ..NOT … I pointed the Guinness Transformation to Trish but got NO REPLY .. In fact I got the COLD SHOULDER !!!! I then Left Biddy as I was made UNWELCOME by Trish’s Attitude towards ME.. I got a Drinkable Pint of Good Guinness which I had No Problem obtaining in Athlone ….. I sent Trish a Picture of a “GOOD PINT” of GUINNESS which I had NO PROBLEM obtaining here in Athlone .. Less than an Hour I was Subjected to a phone call from Chris Hewitt Trish’s brother a TERRAIN of ABUSE ROARING DOWN the PHONE at ME HE was like a Creature POSSESSED .. I would also state their my be a Breach of the Data Protection Act 2018 as Chris Hewitt stated that he would make sure that I wouldn’t get served in any Pub an Athlone as he was printing my picture off Pub CCTV “ as I speak and sending it to them “ He also BARRED ME .. This is All Over me making Trish his sister aware of a Bad Pint of Guinness which can happen in any Pub .. I looked on Trish as a Friend telling her Personal Private stuff I thought we were Friends or so she made Out by Poisoning Me !!!! I drank in that old pub in the late 1980’s which has been closed for years that’s showing my age I was drinking here before Chris Hewitt was Born !! So I Hope Chris and Trish aren’t showing a different Side of themselves by being AGEST to their Customers !! They Definitely shown the Very Worst side of themselves that Morning Greed Terrible Thing

20/08/2025: This place is the best pub in town. Think Cheers, but in Ireland. The bartender and locals were super friendly, telling jokes and giving local recommendations. We spent a lot of time here and plan to go back later tonight after dinner. Would HIGHLY recommend coming here for a pint or chocolate espresso martini.

30/12/2025: This restaurant was great find for breakfast/ brunch. Great menu and nice to try something different than the fry we went in for. Had amazing ham hock and creamy mushroom with poached eggs which was amazing and the service was great. All staff so friendly and we had the pleasure of tasting some of the owners sons chocolates (Bon Chocolatiers). Amazing and I left after buying a selection. Will definitely be back.

17/11/2025: One of my favorite restaurants during vacation. It was just recently renovated, and has a wonderful view of the river. The food was incredible and the entire wait staff was very lovely and sociable. They gave us free samples of chocolate that the owners’ son made, which was great! May have to visit again in the future. I ordered the Spanish fried egg with chorizo and potato hash, the shakshuka, and the bread and butter pudding.

21/01/2026: I am not a fast food fan. Had to stop here late evening on a road trip. Very busy. Very clean. Staff seemed pleasant and efficient. This is part of a large service station complex. You get all the usual Supermac and papa John pizza as will as an ice cream counter and a shop and deli and coffee station.

13/12/2025: The pints are fine and fine are the pints. I popped in to read a book and made some friends along the way. I'm now a full blown alcoholic and I wouldn't change a thing.
