Bacchus, Restaurant in Athlone, Ireland
Bacchus is a restaurant on the banks of the River Shannon in Athlone, Ireland, serving Mediterranean and European dishes. Large windows run along the dining room, giving every table a direct view of the water.
Athlone grew as a town around a crossing point on the River Shannon, which has served as a key route through the middle of Ireland for centuries. Bacchus sits on this same riverbank that has drawn people to gather and trade since the medieval period.
Booking a table in advance is a good idea, particularly on weekends and busy evenings when the restaurant tends to fill up. The location along the river is easy to reach on foot from the town center.
Bacchus is said to be the only restaurant on the Shannon where every seat faces the water, not just those by the windows. This means no table is better positioned than another when it comes to the river view.
