The Old Barracks Restaurant, Guesthouse & Bakery is situated at Cross St. Athenry.  The Restaurant is owned by Fiona King, but was developed by her late husband Cathal O Malley. The business began in October 2010, although the Barracks building itself has been owned by Fiona's family since 1988, when it was purchased by Fiona's parents, Charlie and Mary King of Bawnmore, Athenry with the winnings from that years Galway Plate, which was won by their horse "Afford A King". The Barracks its self was originally an RIC barracks and later taken on by the FCA.
