If you're in Athlone, stop in to Coffee Haven. Their BLT is to die for. Crispy bacon, fresh lettuce…read moreand tomato with huge salad and crisps on the side. Friendly service, spacious and bright. Overall, great place!

Good centre for clothes shopping. They have M&S, H&M, Monsoon/Accessorize, River Island, Topshop,…read moreVero Moda & a soon to be opened TK Maxx, to name a few. There isn't really much on offer for food however, with some run-of-the-mill coffee shops and a juice bar. Something I liked about Athlone Town Centre was how spacious and quiet it was - not sure if it's always like this but every time I've been here it's been really easy to get around shops comfortably. Other shopping centres can often be so busy that you end up just giving up! The Sheraton Hotel is accessible by lift from within the shopping centre itself, and if you stay there you get free parking in the hotel/centre car park (Normally 8 euro per day).
