It seems to be a popular spot for Limerick locals, with most of the tables and booths hosting business meetings. I enjoyed the special of the day--Bacon and cabbage on a creamy mash. The portions were generous and the rashers thick and tasty. I had a Bulmer's 0.0 with my lunch. The servers were really busy with the noontime crowd, but attentive to my table, even pausing to give me a history of the tavern. A hearty two thumbs up for The Locke Bar: this Locke recommends it!

The fish was a bit soggy in the middle and could have done with a few more minutes/ hotter oil. Prawns were okay -- the three sauces sounded amazing but underwhelming. Had hoped for flavour kick -- prawns were both over cooked (about to become rubbery & undercooked -- shell not crispy. I think the grill may not have been hot enough ? But tasty and enjoyed the fresh seafood quality Other tables ordered the wings & mussels-- looked yummy. Portions ample! Arrived to weird 5-10 min wait (despite reservation) between bar and terrace areas. Hostess eventually arrived. Waitress rushed the order (no drinks menu provided), seemed surprised to be asked for a recommendation. At end was awhile before could flag someone down to pay.

The prices were reasonable and the lead singer took requests. They had an Irish step dancer who did a few routines in coordination with the band. There was room to dance if folks were inspired, which led to a group of high school kids taking turns doing a quick Irish king or reel in sneakers from the audience. There was not the usual pressure to keep ordering drinks when your glass emptied out. Great Craic overall
