28/10/2025: Magnificent pub, great everything! Pizza is amazing, service top notch and the friendliest staff you could hope to meet

28/08/2025: Or a thousand welcome in Peddlers.

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: 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

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.

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!

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

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

04/10/2025: This place has got the potential to be great. Coffee is good & made with care but the overall look and feel to the place is very tired. Doors hanging off cupboards behind the till area. Wall at the back also just looks tired. Water and coke cans in the sections in front of the till are dated (cans appear to be 2 years old judging by the graphic on them). Staff were not overly welcoming, lack of effort. I felt like the overall memo to the coffee shop should be to “take pride in your appearance”.

09/08/2025: Really good ice tea and great service Very well recommended it

11/09/2025: Night out with my work colleagues, very quick service even when it was busy, nice atmosphere, dj, we had good night.

10/08/2025: Short security fella is a disgrace. We were outside taking care of some girls cause we dont want to leave them alone. Won’t let us in after for literally no reason at all. Both over 21. We were sadly not the only ones treated poorly by this man. Wouldnt let multiple people in for no apparent reason at all. Sadly won’t tell us his name. Awful rude too..

21/08/2025: To all the staff in Maisie’s, from the door staff to the bar staff to the glass collectors and cleaners, you made my entire hen weekend an absolute blast. From the Friday night dancing , Saturday day activities upstairs and into Saturday night dancing , you made us feel so welcome. As a hen party you tend to be watching yourselves and trying to separate as a lot of places don’t like seeing a bunch of women coming(I get it) however ye are different… we got waved at and welcomed from the second we got over that bridge! You guys are absolute amazing. Ye are number 1 in Athlone by a country mile and I’ll be recommending this place to everyone and their nana!!!! And also - whoever that Dj was that ye had Friday 15th and Saturday 16th - he’s an absolute superstar on the decks! I can’t wait to come back!! From the Galway Hen ❤️

30/07/2025: Great late bar for hen parties! Great music , lovley cocktails and very friendly staff! Definitely recommend 👏

29/08/2025: Food is very fulfilling but disappointed with the loaded fries as they don't put enough onto them. The order machines can be a pain at times to use

12/08/2025: Burger King like any other around the world! Food is amazing if you like the smokey flavour!

30/09/2025: Staff laughing and swearing loudly in front of customer really unprofessional mad me feel very uncomfortable as I was walking away with my food they started laughing won’t be back

25/08/2025: Stopped here a few times lately. Service is fast and friendly. Food is lovely. Riano is the best!

23/10/2025: Very rude and unhelpful staff but the food is okay

28/09/2025: I always visit O'Brien's in Athlone Town Center when in Athlone. The sandwiches are always beautifully made with high quality ingredients. The coffee is great too. This is the best O'Brien's I have been to, always so clean, from the food display to the clearing of the tables. I have always found a clean table to sit at and always enjoy my food. But most of all the staff are amazing, so friendly and efficient, nothing is too much trouble for them. At this point they remember my regular order, goats cheese sandwich on gluten free bread with an Americano, I don't even have to ask anymore 😆 well done to the hard working staff.
