Shines - Athlone

We had a fantastic time celebrating a 60th birthday party at this restaurant. The food was delicious and the live band was amazing.

The restaurant had a spacious and comfortable room, with well-sized bathrooms as well. The prices were very reasonable.

Stephen and Hazelnut are unpleasant individuals who my fiancée worked for at their restaurant for about a year. They manipulated and threatened the staff by constantly holding their employment over their heads. When my fiancée finally raised concerns about their working conditions, they never paid her the holiday wages she was owed. After numerous attempts to request her holiday pay, they blocked her number. They should have known better than to refuse to pay wages through official channels and insisted on cash payments. They should consider hiring a qualified barrister to ensure their company operates in a more professional manner.

On a Friday evening called to eat, very friendly helpful staff very clean kitchen area, delicious food, well cooked and presented, also inexpensive. had a visit with the family about a drink, had a nice evening. I would definitely go back.

We had a great meal at a reasonable price. My wife enjoyed the burger in the photo, while I had a delicious pasta dish. The staff was very friendly and we were pleasantly surprised to find this hidden gem on our way to Dublin, right across from the Carbaugh.
