The best restaurants in Athlone

13/11/2025: Really chill bar Me and my friends had a lovely time😁

20/06/2025: Very pleasant people here . Not expensive alcohol and good music.

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.

26/11/2025: We had a wonderful evening at Fatted Calf. The ambiance was beautiful, and lovely background music played softly. The welcome was warm and inviting. The service was attentive, humorous, and never intrusive! The food was divine! The combination of the appetizer with the black pudding croquettes, the scallops, and the various sauces was an explosion of flavor! Thank you! For the main course, the meat was tender and juicy with a delicious chimichurri sauce. Wonderful! The desserts were simply amazing! Our restaurant visit was the highlight of our time here in Athlone!

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!

19/08/2025: Excellent office space with canteen and plenty's of parking

13/12/2025: The pints are fine and fine are the pints. I popped in to read a book and made some friends along the way. I'm now a full blown alcoholic and I wouldn't change a thing.

13/12/2025: Lovely bar. Spotless. Friendly, polite staff. Well decorated, felt comfortable. Will definitely go there again. Nice smoking area too.

02/02/2026: One of the girls behind the counter was very hostile. There were books etc. that were on the counter which shouldn't have been as there are four seats for customers there and because of her items the customer doesn't have the space that they need to eat etc. She gave out to us because apparently a sticker of hers had gone missing. Definitely needs a new occupation. Would put anyone off returning with that hostile attitude. The girl who served us was lovely and the food was great

15/01/2026: This is the worst delivery experience I have ever had. First I pre-order hoping it will get to me before 4:00pm, only for the time frame for delivery to keep getting shifted. I chat with someone in customer care and I am told they will be with me within 10-15mins, I end up waiting for about 25mins again before someone calls me claiming to be the driver. He said he can’t see any house where he is that I should give him the last 2digits of my phone number which coincidentally is the confirm code for the delivery. The driver confirms the delivery while I am standing outside waiting for him to deliver. His phone number is not going through anymore. I chat with a customer care representative who tells me the order has been delivered and there is nothing they can do about it and that they cannot refund me. I literally had to insist before they offered me a refund which will be available in 3-5 working days.

06/02/2026: Very hit and miss.... food is nice but lazy week day staff let's it down , that big guy in the black jacket is a waste of space and very unprofessional.. took my order, didn't leave the order slip out and proceeded to wander round talking crap to other staff who apparently had nothing to do either, I was on a lunch break so the delay in getting 1 wrap really annoyed me . He is either related to the owner or there for free as I don't know how he gets away with it .

10/12/2025: Really good takeaway. Usual supermacs offering. Deli counter also- often a better option than supermacs. No seating is only down side

17/12/2025: Place is spotless.quick service. OK value.

26/11/2025: Sometimes you just want curry chips

31/01/2026: Delicious food and excellent service.

13/09/2025: Nice small restaurant, very good food and service.

09/01/2026: The area was understaffed, causing a 10-minute wait.

03/01/2026: I would give 0 start if it was possible. After making the other and wait for more than 1 hour past the supposed delivered time. We got a notification from Uber Eats that the restaurant will not delivery the order to our address with no reason. Then I decided to call and ask what happened with the other they said that they did not have any control over the uber eats service delivery so I said if I could then make the other over the phone, they say yes, or course, as soon as I finished the order I provided with my Eircode they just said, we don't delivery to that area and hanged out the call without any explanation. Most likely the worst customer service in Ireland.

14/08/2025: Amazing place to enjoy some pints of Guinness. Live music and wonderful irish people
