The Locke Bar

The Locke Bar is a multi-award-winning gastropub and riverside institution situated in Limerick's historic Medieval Quarter where the Abbey River meets the River Shannon, in the heart of Ireland's third city. Dating back to 1724, the venue boasts a charismatic interior of warm wood panelling and open fires alongside a sprawling outdoor riverside terrace widely regarded as Limerick's biggest outdoor beer garden, offering breathtaking views over the Shannon. The Locke is celebrated for its Ocean Fresh Seafood Menu, a curated selection of fresh locally caught fish and shellfish, alongside classic pub favourites, all served in a convivial and welcoming atmosphere. Seven nights a week, live traditional Irish music and dance sessions fill the venue with authentic Limerick spirit, making The Locke Bar an essential destination for visitors and locals alike seeking great food, drinks and culture by the river.
