What recent reviewers mention most:
Atmosphere
We had some great fish dishes here and thoroughly enjoyed the Irish Pub vibes! The Locke Bar and surrounding area is really nice with the River Shannon right there! The musicians and step dancer were wonderful to hear & watch!
Nice place to grab a drink and listen to music. We enjoyed a late dinner after traveling all day.
As Austrian Inlanders we highly appreciate fresh seafood, so we started off with the half dozen Oysters. It's so rare we can have such authentic gifts off the seashore, I have them twice a year e.g in Belgium, Jersey or Kingston upon Hull, my last ones I had last autumn in Sydney. In Limerick they were within the freshest and reasonably priced, naturel with lemon.
Main course Duo of Sea bass and Hake, pan-fried very much to our likings... Strong roast aroma, not killing off the bridge own base taste, especially the oily skin on the Sea bass, wonderful thanks Locke & lovely, competent service as well, despite real crowds flooding the outside siting area and live-music accompanied indoors restaurant.
