What User doesn't like about Shines:
The staff is very good both in the restaurant and pub. The rooms are huge and comfortable. The chef is top notch and the food is spot on. I met some very good people at Shines but at night in the pub I sensed a little bit of a rough crowed. The showers tend to back up. Shines is just a 10 min walk to the city center. View all feedback.

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

Visitors to this Athlone restaurant described a lukewarm atmosphere, food, as well as inexperienced and unwelcoming management. In contrast, other diners raved about the delicious food, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere. The varying reviews highlight the inconsistency of the restaurant's experience. Customers enjoyed dishes such as chicken liver pate, fish and chips, and pork with mushroom sauce. Overall, the establishment received mixed reviews, with some patrons planning to return and others advising against it.
