The best restaurantsof irish in Limerick

06/01/2026: We attended a Hermitage Green concert. The members of staff were fantastic.

06/01/2026: Easily the best run bar and venue in Limerick City. A haven for mature punters who appreciate alternative sounds and laid back atmosphere. I've not tried the food but the menu looks enticing.

11/01/2026: Enjoyed a few nice pints of Heino.

31/12/2025: Stopped here for a break on our way to Kerry. Had a seafood chowder, it was so good that we stopped again on our way back as well.

26/12/2025: Dining experience superb. Food was surprisingly mediocre. I wish there’s more flavor and that the other elements on the plate blended well with the main

24/12/2025: My wife and I were visiting Limerick in October from Canada, and this restaurant came highly recommended by our air bnb hosts. The servers were nice and the atmosphere matched, but the food was very slow. We BOTH ordered the chimichuri chicken, which tasted great.... However, less than an hour later we were both violently ill. Truly horror movie sick. We could not leave our air bnb and even had to change our travel plans because we were still bed ridden on day 2. This was a terrible experience and we would NOT recommend going to Freddy's. There was an email sent to management from our kind Airbnb hosts, and they never received a response to try and remedy this.

16/01/2026: Great spot to have a pint with friends or solo even

15/01/2026: A good bar in a great location. Wide selection of drinks and a decent food selection. There were outdoor seats with a nice view of the river. They're currently undergoing renovations. We're sure they'll reopen by summer. In the evenings, there's live music and even dancing. In four years, it's never let me down. Sometimes the smell is a bit heavy. Suitable for large groups.

18/01/2026: Very overpriced. Spent 279 for room only. Then had to pay 14e extra to park across the road. Had hassle getting out of carpark next morning. Ticket machine wouldn't work to lift the barrier up. Contacted the hotel they said its nothing to do with them. Unfortunately because of the parking situation I won't be back again. Very poor customer service.

05/01/2026: Perfect location in the city centre. Very quite and comfortable rooms. Staff were lovely.

06/01/2026: Had the cauliflower steak and some sides at a birthday party staff were great especially the man who took the orders and the other fella who brought out the cake food was top class

04/01/2026: We went here for dinner and the food itself was fine. The restaurant was very busy, which can often be a good sign, but unfortunately the staff seemed too rushed to really pay attention to the guests. My main issue came when we paid. We paid by card, but the waitress did not give us a receipt. I immediately felt something was off, as it seemed like the amount charged was higher than what was on the bill. When I asked to see the receipt, she only handed me the bill again and somewhat cheekily asked if there was a problem. When I later checked my bank account at home, I discovered that a 10% tip had been added without my consent. I was very surprised that this could happen. It’s not about whether I can afford to tip or not, but adding a tip without asking the customer feels dishonest and unacceptable. Because of this experience, I can only give the restaurant a low rating. I hope management will address this internally and reflect on how their customers are treated

15/01/2026: Nice place The guy with bandana is really kind and helpful I love this place❤️❤️❤️❤️

14/01/2026: The service was excellent and the food even better, I'll be back

30/11/2025: Really stuck for something nice to eat always went here if we where in the city not anymore soup and toasted sandwich 25 euro ok a bit pricey toastie was burned on one side and not melted on the other and the soup was salted out really poor food

18/11/2025: Asked for eggs well done brought same eggs back just flipped over!

10/12/2025: If you're going just go for the carvery, don't bother with à la carte in the evening. Russell's used to be GOATed but in recent years the prices have gone up and the portions have gotten smaller. Still a good carvery though, the chicken curry is great.

22/11/2025: Great food, great value You won't leave here hungry. Great selection of carveries on offer and they really fill your plate. And it's good food and very tasty. Excellent value. Would definitely recommend and return here again.

10/12/2025: Fab staff, great pint, atmosphere and food second to none, keep up the great work, fantastic for family occasions, Christmas partys

23/11/2025: Food for a Sunday lunch was poor, loads of staff talking but not working. TVs on but volume turned up far two loud. Will not be returning here and bad sign if they have 2 doormen on duty at 3pm during the day.

01/12/2025: The food is amazing. Good prices. Good service. I definitely recommend this pub/restaurant 👌

04/11/2025: Excellent food, quick and reasonable 😄

26/12/2025: Average place for coffee. Matcha was so grassy - it’s either bad quality matcha or they don’t know how to make it. Oatmeal cookie was fab. It can be packed on busy day. I recall having to wait to be seated and took a while to get the food. By the time I had my full Irish breakfast, it was a bit cold and just doesn’t feel fresh.

22/12/2025: Came for breakfast while I waited for a hospital appointment. No option to remove meat from breakfast burrito to make it vegetarian friendly. Ordered scrambled eggs on toast and the toast was barely warm. The table next to me also had the same problem. It was warm bread as opposed to toast. The eggs were more akin to a chopped up omelette than scrambled eggs

20/12/2025: Thank you so much to the owner for treating my grieving mother in law with so much kindness today, it was greatly appreciated and meant the world.

20/12/2025: Visited Bobby Byrnes today. Not sure whether it is the time of year or what but I didn't really enjoy the experience. I was there with 3 friends. We all ordered food. It was carvery. When my order was eventually taken after the chef finished chatting with the lady behind the counter I collected my dinner and sat down. One of my friends said her dinner was only lukewarm. I tried mine and it was just that, warm, not hot. I went up and asked the chef if he could put mine in the microwave for a minute. He told me he didnt have a microwave! I found this hard to believe. My friend called the manager and told him that while the food was lovely, it was only lukewarm. He apologised and said he would try and get that checked. Another friend joined us 10 mins later. She had the pork, and the first thing she said when she tried her dinner was that it wasnt hot. Surely the bain marie could have been turned up to heat up the food. Strange

25/09/2025: Excellent breakfast. Wide selection of sweet and savory options. Everything we tried was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful, patient with my parents, who didn't speak English and had trouble choosing what to order. We were staying at the hotel across the street and easily walked here since breakfast wasn't included. Recommended!

21/08/2025: Lovely staff , kind , friendly helpful

14/12/2025: Excellent food, good prices, generous portions. My compliments again to Edit, who surprised me by speaking perfect Italian and giving us excellent advice on food and our short visit to Limerick! If you're Italian and want a break from English, ask for her.

29/11/2025: Great restaurant in Punches bar. Lovely friendly staff and great food. Not a large selection but very god quality.
