The best restaurants in Athlone

24/05/2026: I got into the pub and the music was there. A lovely group playing a nice, smooth and evolving music, bodhrán included. Just great, believe it. As a plus, beef stew was tasty. It is a good place for a chilled talk and some drinks.

21/05/2026: The best pub and bistro in Westmeath for sure !!! Food ( always such a variety to choose from, generous portions , lovely atmosphere, service just fantastic!!! We are regulars in there and always getting the best experience!🥰 definitely recommend when in Athlone 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

24/05/2026: Kelly was an awesome server and the food here is absolutely delicious

24/05/2026: Kelly was amazing server. She has the best personality. Thank you Kelly

29/12/2025: The place is really cute and cosy, such a cosy spot to relax. The service was excellent, we felt very well looked after. The food is absolutely amazing! I loved the fish and chips, full of flavour, and the apple vinaigrette was such a lovely surprise — it went perfectly. The portion was generous and really satisfying.

13/12/2025: Food and service were excellent, cannot fault at all. Highly recommend.

15/12/2025: Wonderful little cafe with warm service and delicious food. I had the French toast with bacon and thoroughly enjoyed it! I didn’t try them but the desserts at the counter also looked divine. Our server was very kind and attentive - would gladly recommend and go back!

08/12/2025: Waitress was very very rude , slammed down the menus and was very aggressive when handing out food

30/05/2026: Brilliant pub. Authentic and warm. One of the best, thank you, Anne for great craic!

21/05/2026: Wow, what a spot. Ann, what can I say. Her charm & etiquette have made this a wonderful experience. The mini dog farm & regular clientele were the cherry on top.

18/04/2026: The facilities were old, but the beds were comfortable. Also, the receptionist's attitude towards other white people was noticeably different from their attitude towards Asians. It felt like the place was small and there weren't many foreigners there.

16/04/2026: We recently had our son’s Christening in the restaurant in the Sheraton and we were absolutely blown away by the amazing service from the reservation team and the restaurant staff. The reservation team Rachel and Daniel were so quick to respond in emails and had everything organised for us- nothing was an issue! They were so efficient and arranged a lovely menu for our group which was so reasonable. The food we were served was absolutely delicious, everyone was so impressed! Joe, the restaurant manager was amazing- had a designated area for our large group and the table was decorated beautifully for our celebration. Kelly and Daniel were just fabulous servers and so attentive and really lovely to all the children too. It made our day even more special to have been looked after so well by these lovely people, we are so grateful to have had such a wonderful day. We can’t thank them enough and will definitely be back and book any future parties with them.

09/05/2026: The only place open after 11pm but mqny options. Delicious vegan burger and pizza

21/04/2026: Used to be great, now staff feel like they have no joy in their soul, when you order on the app for collection, you're waiting another 20 minutes once you arrive (kinda defeats the whole point of collection?) also recently when you order something that requires a fork (such as taco fries), they never include the fork in the bag. Food is great as usual but the service really lets it down. Also rang us 20 minutes after we left asking if we were on our way to collect, clearly no communication between the team.

08/06/2026: This Supermac’s branch is located inside a petrol station and operates as a takeaway only, with no dine-in seating available. The food is what you would expect from Supermac’s - consistent and of standard quality. One thing to be aware of is that parking can be a bit challenging at busy times, as the car park is quite limited in size. Overall, it’s a convenient option for a quick takeaway when you’re passing through. A positive experience, look forward to dining again soon!

30/05/2026: Great place for a cup of coffee

05/05/2026: We recently hosted a party at The Bailey Bar on Saturday night, and it was outstanding from start to finish. The food was excellent, the service was seamless, and the staff were truly unbelievable throughout the evening. From the moment we arrived, everyone felt comfortable and well looked after. The team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and many of our guests commented on how friendly and attentive they were. It was an amazing experience overall, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Bailey for any special occasion. I’ll definitely be booking future parties there.

05/05/2026: Loved this place Great staff polite Professional And made us feel like valued customers.

05/04/2026: Lovely staff, good atmosphere although it’s like having pints on the surface of the sun 🔥🔥🔥

04/03/2026: Pregames before (and after) the most recent Athlone Town AFC game, Speedy and staff couldn’t have been lovelier! Everything I’d hoped it’d be. Well worth the trip from the States. Until next time…

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.

07/05/2026: Went for mid week lunch.The food was so good.I ordered the Australian Dragon Roll.....excellent!The guy that was running the restaurant was so good at his job.....friendly and chatty.Highly recommend 😋

04/05/2026: Food was good.but time it takes to get food on table is very long
