The Cellar Bistro@Gertie Brownes
Review
The Cellar Bistro@Gertie Brownes, nestled in the heart of Athlone’s historic quarter, is a shining example of Irish hospitality done right. Sharing its walls with one of the most atmospheric pubs in the country, the bistro delivers a warm and memorable dining experience. The menu strikes a perfect balance between comforting Irish classics and broader, crowd-pleasing dishes, all presented with care and flair. Whether you’re after a hearty stew, a perfectly cooked steak, or a vegetarian option done well, the kitchen never misses a beat. What truly elevates the experience is the exceptional team, friendly, attentive, and always going the extra mile to ensure every visit is special. With its cosy setting, top-notch food, and genuinely welcoming atmosphere, this restaurant is highly recommended
