Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Traveled from Limerick for a surprise 40th. The team in Peddlers were great. They helped organize tables and finger food in advance of our visit and while we were there the service and friendliness was excellent. Great band on the Friday night and music over the in-house system on Saturday night. Great pint of Guinness and the cocktails were as good as we've had anywhere .. thanks to all the staff for a great few days

Lovely bar with loads of seating & cosy corners. Bar service was efficient on a very busy night. 90s music playing all night so there was a good atmosphere.

Here for a night out with a good pal. Was initially out for a walk but found this gem of a public house. Could hear the music and good atmosphere before I even opened the door. Started off with a lovely pint of Guinness (The best in Athlone followed by the Bailey) followed with a couple hot whiskeys. Was a great experience made even better with the service from Rob , Kellie , Shauna , James , Paddy Guinness , Neil , Seamus and Paulie T on the door. Unfortunately didn’t get to meet the fabulous Ogara brothers who iv heard so much about. Will definitely be back!!
