CLOSED FOR GOOD??? This was my go-to sports bar for years. To me, they had the best Buffalo wings in town and something like 40 beers on tap. I'm sad, they will be missed. read more

This is a regular spot for me. Specially for the weekday specials. Monday's they have the burger special which is very well made and juicy, soft buns and a total flavor bomb. With a pint of beer, it is a great deal. $15 Tuesdays is the day we come the most and I started noticing more people coming too. The New York steak with a side plus a pint of beer $20. Get it rare so it can come medium rare. Also, ask for the fries on the side because I am not sure why the standard is laying the steak and sauce over the fries which makes the soggy almost immediately. Sweet potato fries are excellent and I highly recommend that over fries. The tater tots are also crispy and plentiful. The beer menu has shrunk significantly which sucks. Hope they can bring back more crafts. Service can be slow on Tuesdays because it's busy and the staff does it all. Cool place to watch games and chill. read more

Here for all the weekday specials and they play all the fights, sports games, and Olympics. Great place to WFB (work from the bar) while you wait for friends or a date. Or just enjoy the specials on your own. Monday special: burgers, side, and beer for $20 Tuesday special: steak, side, and beer for $20 Wednesday special: half off whiskey, wings, and wine Thursday special: 50% off tacos and Tequila The service has really improved and I'm here for it. read more

This is one of the bars I frequent since they offer great food deals Monday thru Wednesday. Happy hour is popular and this place is never without a customer. The only drawback is the service and they have a high turnover on their wait staff as I always see new employees every time I stop by here. If you want to watch a game then you won't be disappointed as they have plenty of big screen televisions. read more

Henry was an amazing server who helped make my group's first visit surely not our last! He was great at accommodating our group size by putting 2 tables together. The music and TV's weren't distracting so that's a plus! Then Henry helped us navigate the All Day Happy Hour offerings since we came on a Sunday. We got some refreshing drinks and delicious food ~ we got one of the last Scotch Eggs and Egg Roll to share at the table. I also got the Shepherd's Pie which came out piping hot! Upon mentioning food allergies, Henry went above and beyond to make sure everything we ordered didn't contain the allergens. I'll definitely be back with friends in tow! read more

Limericks definitely has their food program down. My experience with their food offerings has been nothing short of amazing. It's not fine dining but they offer great plated dishes that would rival a great steakhouse! The folks working here are super attentive and very knowledgeable about their food program. The service is great, never had a problem with getting sub par service here. The vibe is super lively when it gets crowded. If you come for a game, it gets packed and be ready for a limited menu on food items. People will probably ding them on this but when you have a small kitchen and an even smaller kitchen staff trying to turn out hundreds of plates at one time, you'll understand why they have to go with a short menu on game days. This place is a great neighborhood gem, if you are looking for a great steak, their ribeye is stupid good! read more

Limericks Tavern - Ribeye - New American Near Me - Alhambra, California

Stopped by for their lunch specials. Heard their food and service were great, but we were very disappointed. We ordered the Cali Classic Burger, Bacon Mac & Cheese, and Asada Street Tacos. Food tasted very bland and needed a lot of seasoning. Since it was the lunch crowd, they only had one server who was running around when it got busy later on. We had to keep flagging them down to get their attention. Their restrooms and tables weren't very clean. read more

This is one of those places you past by and don't think much of until you actually walk in. Met one of the nicest dudes ever (Bear). Who reccomended to me some amazing garlic tots with my smashburger I ordered. This place absolutely all good vibes and the food was all super tasty. He was patient with us as we ordered too. I'll be coming here again when I'm ready to celebrate something. Cheers to you guys :) read more

Well I tried them when they first opened and was not a fan, and now I gave them another chance, and I guess it will be my swan song. It's supposedly an Irish pub, but it feels more like a standard sports bar inside. Located on the busy main strip of Alhambra with all the restaurants between Atlantic and Garfield, sits Limerick's. There is free parking in the back, which is good. Service is actually incredibly friendly and attentive. I'm sure if I complained about the food, they would've taken it off, but I didn't see the point. The food here, at least the Irish food, is just not good. Went on a Tuesday night, so one dish we had was the special - a "top" sirloin with a side (got tater tots) and a beer (got a perfectly poured half and half - the best part of the meal). While they can pour a mean Guinness, the steak is smothered in a not so terrific gravy and mushrooms. It was okay, but not something we'd get again. The most successful dish was the spicy chicken sandwich my kid had. He said it was decent. I had the sheperd's pie, which was a disaster in my opinion. It needed way more potato and less cheese on top. The inside was soupy and didn't have a great flavor. What struck me the most and was off putting is that the cast iron it is served in had a strong rusty smell, probably from cleaning products or just from age. Either way, it overpowered the smell of the pie and made for a very unsavory experience. I didn't finish it. The waitress did take notice and asked if I didn't enjoy it. But what can they do. Someone must like it. I don't. Basically, while I would maybe come in for a half and half if I craved one, I seriously doubt I will be eating the food here again any time soon. Cannot recommend. Griffins of Kinsale in South Pasadena is close by and so much better. read more

A couple months back, my housemate and I were walking on Main Street and stumbled upon Limericks Tavern. We've been back almost every Monday for their $10 Burger + Beer happy hour ever since!! My go-to order is the Limericks Burger with seasoned fries. The Limericks Burger is pretty amazing. It's cooked perfectly, super juicy, and loaded with crunchy bacon and a really good whiskey bbq sauce that's sweet and tangy. They also have a great selection of beers on tap, from local crafts to popular favorites. I found that the Einstock Toasted Porter to be really refreshing and pairs well with the food. Highly recommend checking them out. **Happy Hour Mon-Fri 3pm-7pm & 11pm-2am / All day on Sundays read more

I was looking for a spot to meet up with friends and Limericks seemed ideal. However, what I didn't expect was to arrive to a completely packed house due to the NFL Playoff (49ers vs Cowboys). We were greeted immediately by a very nice man. He asked if we wanted a table and sat us at the last available booth. Our server Rihanna was delightful and kept her cool amongst the chaos. She recognized my friend from the bar where he works. Despite being busy our food came out quickly as did our drinks. I kept it simple with a vodka soda. One friend had a whiskey neat, and the other a Jack n' Coke. Our drinks were served in plastic cups, which I thought was odd but it was most likely due to how busy they were. I ordered another drink after the game was over and it came in a glass. One friend ordered a burger with fries, the other had a Vegan burger with onion rings. They both enjoyed their selections. I helped with the fries, which were quite tasty. Limericks Tavern is a modern gastropub that serves Irish & American comfort food. They also have 60 different kinds of draught beer. There are plenty of TV's - including one in each booth. It can get loud and lively during games, especially it its playoffs. There is an outdoor patio with heated lamps in case you want a quieter environment. Shout out to the staff. This place was packed to the gills, yet the service was not lacking. Several other employees checked on us frequently in addition to Rihanna. I'll definitely come back to watch a game or enjoy Happy Hour. (HH M-F 3pm - 7 pm & 11 pm -2 pm / All day Sundays.) *Street parking on Main or parking lot around the corner. read more

New fav place! Their daily specials are awesome! We came in on a Wednesday and it's Whiskey and Wings !!! My two favs Whiskey drink was half off and wings were too. Both really good!

The restaurant has parking in the back in a structure. Easy to find parking. They have both indoor and outdoor dining. I ordered for takeout and servcie was quick and friendly. I tried the shepherd's pie, corned beef and cabbage and clam chowder. They have so many optuins to choose from and in the mood for some Irish feel it's an awesome place. The food was good, not overly salty. The clam chowder had a good amount of clams. It's a cool spot! read more

Updating my review here. Still come here fairly often, and it's always a good time. Although the last time I had their Irish stew, I was on a first date and was so nervous I barely ate any of it. We have now been together for over 2 years. read more

Great food and the beer is really cold and the service is always great!!! Love the hamburger special !

Always a casual friendly and a favorite spot with good food which does not disappoint. Plenty of space and enough TV's to meet up with friends for a game. They have an outdoor patio with heated lamps where they set up a TV as needed, they have tble games and is Dog friendly. They have a full bar and offer a wide selection of beers on tap as well as typical and not so typical bar food that is surprisingly great. Daily HH 3pm-7pm: They have amazing happy hour daily specials that will have you wanting to return; the burgers are large and filling, the tacos are tasty, the steak and beer deal is a steal! And don't forget to ask about the Sunday all day special! ** The regular Buffalo wings are good - but ONLY If you can handle spicy, then try the Buffalo Fire whooo! Thank me later! Other food items worth a try: Sheppard pie, clam chowder, fish tacos and Irish stew. Definitely worth giving a try, so go and enjoy! read more

Parking on the back of the building for 2 hours Easy to find. FOOD: as you can see on the pictures food portions are very big and delicious. Give it a try. I heard the chicken wraps and the poutine was always asked. SERVICE: we were here on a Sunday night so it's hard to tell if they will be busier on a Friday or Saturday. Henry was cool and informative about food and drinks and also he made sure we were all taking care of with food preferences. AMBIANCE: again; Sunday night: chill and less people but I can tell you this place could easily get busier any other day except a Sunday night. read more

I planned to meet two girlfriends and wanted to find a casual place to talk and watch a sports game. I pass by Limericks Tavern all the time so I wanted to give it a try! There is parking on the street or if you turn to the corner parking lot when you pass the 85 degree bakery, you're golden! We walked in and sat next to the bar. The bartender, waiters and waitresses were all very friendly and helpful. Once we ordered drinks and food, it all came out super fast! We were delighted to have chose Limericks Tavern for a casual night of catching up. The tater tots, wings, and ceviche were all great dishes to share. I'm will definitely be back with more friends for more experiences! read more

I love the beers on draft always nice and cold. The mix drinks are pretty good !

Awesome pub ! read more

My friends and I stumbled upon Limericks Tavern while visiting Alhambra on a Thursday night and wandered in. Seating was pretty quick, and so were our orders and drinks. I ordered a Paloma, and I thought it tasted alright. I felt it was off though, kinda like when something is missing. I couldn't tell if it was too watered down or not, but something felt off. That night, they had an open karaoke with a live DJ, and I thought it was an unexpected adventure. We sang quite a few songs, and they have an okay selection of American songs. The selections for songs in other languages were quite small despite the songs being queued up on a website server, which surprised me. Overall, though, I felt it was just an OK / average experience. read more

I love Limericks! I'm obsessed with trying new happy hour spots, so I don't know how I overlooked Limericks in the past when I literally tried almost every other bar/restaurant on Main Street. Seriously, I didn't even know it existed until I walked right by it the other day, despite having been to restaurants right across the street or next door before. Limericks is an Irish pub style sports bar with THE BEST service in the game, and delicious food and cocktails. Our waitress was super friendly and went above and beyond, as I wanted to try a few cocktails I saw in the Yelp photos that were no longer on the current menu. I was able to order the Limericks Lemon Martini, one such off-menu drink, and it was both aesthetically pleasing and top-notch in taste. I also ordered the mac and cheese which was fire, and the bread pudding which was divine and an absolute-must. All in all, Limericks has everything - great food, drinks, & service - so it really is the perfect local spot for hanging out after work! read more

I eat once a day. All I ask for is a good meal. Tell me why Mc Donald's fish sandwich is better than yours?? The fish was cold, bland, overcooked and greasy. The Cesar salad was warmer. Just saying to your cook....Do better please. read more

I would say the Irish aren't really known for their food. It's more about the beer and the vibe, and for that I'm happy.

Cool bar to hang out grab a drink or 2 or 3 ha nd talk to ppl. Good prices especially happy hour!

This place used to be good but the customer service has gone WAAAAY down. I come here a lot and in more recent occasions, bartenders are too busy making out and hanging out with their gf's while being clocked in and working. Waiter's are slow to even come by and sit us. We sit ourselves most of the time. I thought I was overreacting when they took their time coming to our table to ask for drinks but timed it and they took about 25-35mins to come by each time to order anything at all. They'll get us one drink and won't come around for another 30mins. One thing that hasn't changed is the food! Amazing, delicious food! Which is what I would give 5 stars. Waiters, bartenders? You can do better. Y'all got nothing but competition down Main St. read more

One of my go to bars I like to go in the SGV (there's not much to choose from) ~ Parking: Garage behind the pub Staff: Always nice, happy and fun. Never had any bad servers whenever I'm here. Food: Their kitchen closes early, so I never got to try any of their food items. T_T I usually come 1-2 hours prior to closing..I did get lucky one time, right before they closed to try the Irish Nachos, which were bomb. Will try their food one day ~ Drinks: Amazing ! I think I've tried almost everything from their speciality cocktails. Favorite one is the Peppermint Patty Martin ! It's like a mint ice cream spiked LOL. It's a great place to chill with friends, not as noisy or pack as other bars around Main ~ read more

1) Limerick's Burger The burger itself was so big!! It was so big, even our dad was only able to eat half! I personally loved the whiskey glaze in it and if you love bleu cheese then you definitely have to try this. I do recommend getting the burger cooked medium so it's not as dry! 2) Clam Chowder We love a thick clam chowder that has a good amount of clams. This had the perfect consistency and was perfectly creamy. There were so many clams and also bacon bits! 3) Pastrami Sandwich The pastrami meat itself was not dry or too fatty! The sandwich itself wasn't soggy like some sandwiches are. 4) Calamari Our favorite calamari but I do think this isn't a good dish to eat at home since it does get soggy and soft. I've had this while dining in and it was so crispy and perfect with the mango and jalapeño pieces read more

After picking my wife from work,I decided ro take her to Limericks Tavern Irish Pub in Alhambra it's next door to 85 C Bakery cafe a very popular bakery in Alhambra. I park the car in the same structure were the 85C bakery cafe and Limericks Tavern. They we walk a very distances to the pub wow it was busy because it was a Friday night. The patio very full we put our name on the waiting list and see we get a table soon but the chances may be slim because they the pub was showing the NBA Finals. We know everyone is watching the game because the Lakers are in the finals and they are cheering the Lakers to win the NBA title. They one of the waiter told us they are putting tables outside of their patios and they we got a table it was nice of them. They the waiter took to the table and we were seated and he pass us the menu and we thank him. We were looking at menu and see what we like to get on the menu my wife like the pastrami sandwich,I know she was very hungry like a tiger and she like pastrami. For myself it was hard I like to get the clam chowder because I love it and the like chicken pesto sandwich a tough choice I decided to get the pesto chicken sandwich it was a good choice. We order our drinks my wife order a glass of Mascato she like to drink. I order a classic Irish drink a pint of Guinness I haven't have a Guinness for a long time. We waited for our food and watch the good and see the people watching the game and enjoying their food and drinks cheering the Lakers. They the waitress brought us our food wow our food looks ao good. My wife pastrami sandwich look mouthing watering good and my chicken pesto sandwich was looking different than other chicken pesto sandwich I have try in the past. The sandwich was a in square some thing different and also I notice the bread was toasted I like how they present the sandwich a new concept of the sandwich. I took a bit of the the sandwich great flavors and the pesto was good but the chicken was very tasty and the flavor of the pesto on the add more flavor in the chicken I really enjoy the sandwich. My wife enjoy her pastrami sandwich very much including her Moscato and also enjoy my Guinness that's a authentic Irish drink company with a great meal. We need to come back again try different items and drinks. read more

The food is good here. They make everything from scratch but it doesn't take long. They have a nice outdoors seating for parties between 2-5 people. You can watch a game there because they put a tv outside as well. We came during a happy hour and got $5 margaritas. They also have some food on happy hour menu. Unfortunately they don't tell you that food on the happy hour menu is actually full price. I was surprised to see it on the check. Their explanation was that they are struggling during covid and keep food at full price even during happy hour. I am totally fine with that and prefer to pay full price to keep businesses running, but I think they should mention that beforehand otherwise you end up feeling lied to. read more
