13/10/2025: Absolutely delicious and great presentations

25/10/2025: 10/10 service, great setting, served by Coco, great food, highly recommend!!!

18/10/2025: One of the best Argentinean restaurants in Ireland. The empanadas were very tasty, the steak was perfectly cooked. The dessert was delicious!

31/10/2025: Lovely place, lovely people, lovely pizza.

27/10/2025: Really good freshly foid, great atmisphere...genuine Italuan.

15/11/2025: We stopped in on our way to Galway and were lucky enough to enjoy live music. The staff and the locals were all very friendly to my wife and I, and kindly explained to us Americans what ‘toasties’ are. This was by far the coziest pub we stopped at during our road trip.

11/11/2025: Legend has it that this bar is the oldest in Ireland. I couldn't verify that, but judging by the staff's apparent age, they're still remarkably young! As soon as you walk in, you're captivated by the place. I also carefully observed each new customer as they entered, and the pleasant surprise was evident on every face. So I'm certain: this bar evokes emotions. You immediately feel at home and want to order everything, because you're here to sample the local brews, right? Verdict: we tasted Irish lagers that had an extraordinary flavor, both creamy and with a deliciously subtle cereal aftertaste. We chatted with Irish, Brazilians, and Americans, as if all the good company had gathered in the same place! We had an amazing time and the reputation of the place is well-deserved: the welcome was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect! Thank you Sean's Bar for existing!

30/09/2025: Incredible food, fast service and lovely atmosphere. Only downside is there are not many places to sit! We had Poached Eggs and Peanut Rayu, and pancakes for breakfast. They do generous sized portions and it’s super tasty! Everything is reasonably priced and great vegetarian and vegan options. Plant based milk is an additional cost.

29/09/2025: Beautiful food, best latte, great place

05/10/2025: I had the Tom Khao Soup, which was delicious. My mom had the Pad Thai and Vegetable Spring Rolls and loved them. It’s a great restaurant within walking distance of all the pubs. Perfect for a late-night dinner.

30/09/2025: I love the panang curry. Thai ice tea is too bland for my liking Go for the thai coffee.

28/10/2025: Nice place, nice food, nice staff

21/10/2025: Great food, pricey drinks though.

05/11/2025: Brilliant food and excellent service. Best restaurant in Athlone!

03/11/2025: Food is amazing however when I booked a reservation for my college graduation they said we would be able to book for 3.30, my my name and phone number and when we got there the place was closed. We were not the only people who this happened to as there was about 5 other families waiting at the same time. When we rang the premises we got nothing as the phone was not turned on. I do not understand why this location would approve so many reservations for a set time and then not even open. Disgraceful

28/09/2025: Fantastic breakfast, atmosphere was wonderful and the staff so friendly. Recommended to all.

27/09/2025: The best breakfast in the area, I recommend it.

01/11/2025: Bacchus is a wonderful restaurant in Athlone. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service is excellent. The view of the River Shannon adds a special charm to the place. Highly recommended. I’ll definitely be back.

27/10/2025: The sach tava (chicken) was disappointing. It was not traditional sach tava, but more a boiled/stewed chicken added to a hot tomato sauce and served in a sach with rice and no naan bread! It was cooked like chicken curry, but tasteless. Should change the naming! Baklava was fully stale, it was served heated to show like fresh, never ate that bad Turkish baklava. Better we were said that it is not available! Sorry, but I don't think i can ever come again as the only good thing was the friendly lady staff.

29/09/2025: Great morning spot. French Toast with fresh fruit, bacon, snd maple syrup was yummy. Hubby had omelette and potatoes. The vanilla latte and mochas were also tasty and even seconds to go:)

29/09/2025: Delicious, fresh options. Friendly service.

31/10/2025: I stopped into Spill the Beans Café in Athlone and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was so cute and cozy, perfectly decorated and welcoming. I had an amazing chai latte, one of the best I’ve had anywhere. They also offer a great selection of baked goods, including some lovely gluten-free options, which was such a nice touch. It’s the kind of place you could easily spend an afternoon relaxing or catching up with friends. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

11/10/2025: Came in today and got the most gorgeous coffee and pastries❤️ Super friendly staff and gave me recommendations for the town. Much appreciated will be back.

21/10/2025: Amazing food at reasonable prices. Old school Irish pub.

16/10/2025: Lamb chops were pretty fatty. Not a lot of meet. Chicken was overcooked and bland Guinness was great Service and ambience were excellent

24/08/2025: Robert is an exceptional waiter — truly a machine! His service was outstanding, and he treated us with great professionalism and kindness. Highly recommended!

24/07/2025: Wandered into this gorgeous restaurant Tuesday this week. Before I even speak about the delicious food, I want to mention the service and the people. They were so attentive and professional, warm and kind. People make a place for me. Attention to detail has been lost in a lot of restaurants, but not this place! Everything on the menu was so appealing but we both ended up going for one of the specials of the day, the sirloin. The tastes, the sauces, the love put into the food was second to none! We had a pinot grigio and Argentinan Malbec to accompany them. My malbec was full bodied and bold, it went perfectly with my meat. We then had espresso martinis instead of desserts- again delicious! It was my mums first espresso martini and it didnt disappoint. My mother mentioned we were out celebrating and they brought down a complimentary dessert with Congratulations written on it- so kind and lovely. We were very impressed and will be back aome day

28/09/2025: Great cafe in center of athlone. One of the best options for food with a large menu selection, friendly staff, dog friendly.

27/09/2025: Lovely breakfast and really good value too! Definitely would recommend.
