I don’t know Athlone very well. Took a chance here the menu looked nice and varied. Not disappointed 😋
Mesa starter. T-bone streak, braised beef. Everything was very tasty. The portions are very generous, arrive hungry.
Service was excellent too 😊

Everything was delicious & staff were excellent, and the air con was powerful on a very hot day. However, the steak was a little bit overdone and they had no cocktails despite them being advertised on the wall. Otherwise top marks!

Response from the owner

Thanks for your review-glad you enjoyed the food, service and air con.
Sorry the steak was a bit over done and for the confusion around cocktails. We will pass both points on.

Bacchus Team.
