Thyme
Athlone
18/01/2025: Amazing food here, great variety on the menu, great location in Athlone (can nip into Gertie’s before and after for a pint), we make it a point to visit every year on the annual Athlone visit! Highly recommended
10/01/2025: Wonderful food and service this evening, Friday 11/01/2025. Myself and my wife had the “value menu” and we each tried separate starters, main courses and desert. We both loved each of the dishes presented. The service was excellent and the restaurant and toilets are extremely clean. Super, super value at €45 per head and we will be back.

Sean's Bar
Athlone
12/02/2025: I had the chance to visit Sean’s Bar in Athlone, the oldest bar in Ireland, and it was a fantastic experience. The place has a traditional, old-style charm that truly makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. From the outside, it looks small, but once inside, it opens up into cozy spaces with a larger seating area at the back.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a pint and soak in the authentic Irish pub experience. Whether you’re a local or a traveler, it’s a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a piece of history with great drinks. Highly recommended!
12/02/2025: Great staff, great stories and great beer. Worth a stop for sure!

The Shack
Athlone
25/01/2025: Litterally the greatest place for food in athlone,servers are lovely,food is incredible
20/01/2025: Came across this pub while we were looking around Athlone. We were looking for a good decent lunch, and were not disappointed. We got a roast dinner each and it was gorgeous. The beef was like butter, cooked to perfection and the veg and mash could not be faulted. Definitely pop into here if you’re looking for a good hearty Irish meal with good customer service. Also a traditional looking pub with an old feel to it so the atmosphere was great

Kin Khao
Athlone
27/01/2025: Great food and service. Thanks.
14/01/2025: Our first visit to this place. Simply by the business, you know you're in for a treat. It's got a great vibe to it and the atmosphere is really good.
Food-wise it has a great selection and it was all incredibly tasty. My son's new favourite food is sticky rice. Drinks were good and the service was spot on.
I would definitely recommend it.

Beans And Leaves
Athlone
23/12/2024: Best breakfast in Athlone and great coffee and bakes.
01/12/2024: The staff were really friendly and couldn’t have been nicer. The menu looked amazing at first, with so many options. I went for the ham hock with creamy mushrooms, poached egg, and brown bread—it sounded a bit random, but I was curious to see how it would work. When it arrived, it was basically a bowl of mushrooms with the ham hock and poached egg plonked on top, covered in hollandaise. Sadly, it didn’t come together at all, and the egg, which I’d asked for medium, still had runny whites. Just wasn’t what I’d hoped for. My friends dishes were just as random

Mangal Grill , Athlone
Athlone
03/01/2025: Got a takeaway, great tasting food. Well worth a visit
28/12/2024: Food and Service: The food was exceptionally tasty. We tried nearly all the chicken starters, each prepared freshly and full of flavor. A special mention to the lady who prepared and garnished the dishes beautifully—she did an amazing job. This place is definitely worth a visit!
Ambience: The restaurant operates within an Asian supermarket, so the ambiance isn't particularly elegant. However, the environment is very clean and well-kept. There's absolutely nothing wrong with supporting talented individuals like these!

Bacchus Restaurant
Athlone
26/01/2025: Had a Family dinner on 25th of January 2025, I can easily say one of best food we had in a long time!!! Great service, very friendly staff. Great work 👏 👍
17/01/2025: Good food at reasonable price. Service good.
I visited on a Thursday night in January when the restaurant wasn't very busy.
There was a full choice available and service was prompt and attentive.
Aa the tourist season progresses this restaurant will be busier and the athmosphere will be improved.
A starter, two main courses plus coffee and drinks for a couple came to €80 incl tip.

Rustic roots restaurant
Athlone
14/01/2025: We were travelling the other day as we just landed back to Ireland, I am allowed to eat just soft foods at the moment due to a surgery I just had. So on the way home to Connemara and I was starving because of my liquid diet. We were trying to find a place where to eat a good soup and I stumbled on this restaurant on google. I called and booked a table and when we got there the Mushroom soups were huge and delicious!
I asked the lady if she could just warm it out for me not to hot so I will be able to eat and she was very kind and helpful. Food was delicious unfortunately I wasn’t able to eat it all so my fiance eat both our bowls of soups.
But I truly recommend this restaurant and the staff was great.
05/01/2025: Lovely restaurant wit a nice atmosphere. The food is delicious.
