Called in for a light lunch whilst on holiday. We had roast beef sandwiches with horseradish and my two year old daughter had Irish Stew. The food was excellent, staff and service were first class and the price was good too. Great atmosphere in a busy pub, just out of the town centre bustle - lovely.

This is still the best food and entertainment venue in Limerick. Excellent food, open fire ambience and great traditional music session on our last evening visit. Super venue for lunch also

We had a lovely dinner at the Locke Bar & Oyster House. The service was excellent, and the seafood stew - one of their signature dishes, was just superb. The atmosphere was warm and calm early in the evening, but got louder & rowdier as the night went on - we stayed for the traditional Irish music, but it was... More

A lively place for a pint if you're a tourist. The music was good. However, if you're looking for a place with traditional irish music, the Locke only does it on certain nights. We ate dinner here when a guy was taking requests on a piano...It was nice, but we preferred something else. The Traditional Irish Guinness Beef Casserole was... More

On a visit to a friend in Limerick this weekend, he recommended The Locke Bar for Food and a Pint. The three of us sat in the Restaurant Section, next to the fire, crackling away in the back ground. We ordered our Drinks, the Guinness was Superb. We looked over the menu and there was a good variety of seafood,... More

My wife and I were walking the city... decided to stop in and have a drink. We were impressed by the staff and atmosphere. We looked over the menu and decided it might be a good spot for dinner. We came back with our family (kids 12, 15, 20) and had an EXCELLENT time. Well worth the cost... the staff... More

When we visited the Locke Bar, we had sunshine overhead for our entire session of large Caesar Salad and two perfect pints of Guinness.
