The best restaurants in Athlone

16/10/2025: We came for dinner (still sitting here) and this is the best cottage pie we’ve ever had. I got the vegetable curry and it’s 10/10. Recommend!

16/10/2025: Good service, good food, and value for money. Beautiful decor and good music. It was quiet and spacious.

22/10/2025: I really don’t like to leave bad reviews but Like others have said, this place had a great reputation so we decided to call for lunch. I was shocked to be guided to a table when it wasn’t busy to then be told if you wanted to pay by card you had to use the kiosk screen, which also was above the head of a lady who was eating her lunch and it felt very rude leaning over her. We apologised to her and she stood up to move out of our way. For a small business that used to have great character this was very disappointing. There was at least 3 lovely staff members going around with headsets which was strange and that could easily have taken our order. I couldn’t believe then after ordering and you go to pay it asks you want percentage of a tip you would like to give… what exactly are we tipping? There was no service prior to this. I also ordered poached eggs on sourdough toast and the toast came out 10 minutes before the eggs? Very strange. I love to support local businesses but I feel after this experience I won’t be back.

18/10/2025: Lovely food, tasty, fresh and top quality service. Very fast for such quality food. Exceptionally friendly staff , every staff member from opening the front door said Hello, we sat upstairs, nice bright room again, very friendly staff upstairs, when we were going all said goodbye and thanked us for coming. When we had started to eat- within a few minutes, we were asked if everything was alright, we were happy with the food and did we want anything else. Obviously the owner/manager/staff put a-lot of effort in. (Not that fussed on the QR ordering-the food and friendliness make up for this but it’s just something I personally don’t like in a restaurant)

29/10/2025: Guinness is probably best in town

11/10/2025: Great pub with great Guinness. Has a real autumnal feel which is a strange thing to say about a pub. Top Boozer

26/03/2025: Only called in to pick my husband up but stayed for hour and joined my niece nephew for coffee. Have to say overall good atmosphere great fire on just ladies toilet could do bit upgrade I'm not saying it wasn't clean..

16/03/2025: Had a pint while passing by, it was quiet, but it was awesome.

02/10/2025: Our organisation booked a conference room in this hotel. Everything was superb, starting from dealing with Conor who looked after me in terms of booking to the welcome on the day and amenities. Thank you.

04/08/2025: Didn't stay at the hotel as I was just there for a family meal.Service was excellent and food was very good.However after having one of the worst pints of Guinness I have had I returned it and got a smithicks which was just as bad.Complained to barman and he said wasn't much he could do about it.Wont be back

31/10/2025: We popped in here on our way to Galway for some food and coffees. It's a very strange set up as you have to order your drinks and food separately. It makes absolutely no sense to order drinks and pay for them then to move to the other end of the shop to order food and pay again. I'm not sure what their thinking is here. We ordered 3 different dishes. I ordered a sausage roll with salads. The ones on display were quite big and looked lovely. My sons sandwich arrived with a very skinny sausage roll on the side. I asked was it mine and the server seemed confused. She brought me a plate to put the sausage roll on and gave me some wedges as she knew the order was wrong. She was lovely and I appreciated her bringing the wedges. The young lad who took our order seemed like he wasn't listening and our order pretty much proved that. I won't be returning. It was all too messy.

24/10/2025: I was served on Thursday 23th october around 5:20pm by the WORST barista ever. She did not say hi nor thank you, didn’t make eye contact with us and of course, not a smile. As a customer, you shouldn’t feel like you’re bothering the staff and yet she made me feel like I was NOT wanted there despite being nice and polite to her (which should be her job tbh). The coffee and the pastries were really overpriced. Not coming back, especially if that barista is there.
