Food - decent bar food and I would say it's inspired by the Irish. Service - excellent service even when you're at tables and booths Ambiance - def a tavern bar with sports, several TVs throughout which I appreciate read more

Small tavern hidden that is on Main Street. Very lively atmosphere and friendly people. Good place to watch sports events and the food there-many options to choose from. The Shepherds pie is very unique, never tried it before but very amazing. I had the chicken club sandwich and the choice of bread made it amazing. The servers are very friendly there! read more

Pandemic review Seated outside. Limited menu. Had the shrimp ceviche and their version of the mai tai. Both were delicious. Great service and decent food/drink selections. Looking forward to come back for their full menu. read more

Food was fine but I would not recommend getting the Shepards pie. It is very small. Drinks were good. Seemed more like a sports bar than a tavern. Servers were willing to change the channel when we asked. read more

Great Irish place hidden away in a rather unassuming building. Really great service we were there for some time and they checked in regularly and made drink and food recommendations. Had some really lovely deserts while we where will be making the trek out from the valley again read more

Staff was rude and the food was horrible. It would be a good location to open a nice bar though.

As a fellow bartender of 10 years it's disappointing when you come in and ask for a simple request and don't get an answer. I come 9:30pm to see if the kitchen is still open cause i wanna see if i can still grab a bite. Simple request ya? Instead I have to wait for one of the bartenders (shaved sides of the head with a ponytail) to finally ask me what i need after 5 min of it not being that busy. If he's just slow then it's fine, not your pace. But after asking if the kitchen is closed instead of just letting me know know within seconds I gotta wait for another 5-7 min which is longer than you think of no answer and just walking right past me like I'm some ghost, I just left. If the place was slammed and everyone needs something then I get it, other than that I have to let my grievances be known so others don't have to experience this crap as well. read more

Calling all St. Patrick's Day Enthusiasts! If you've never been to Limericks, now is the time to visit! Incredible beer selection and an even better happy hour menu! Buy one beer, get the second beer for $1? And we're talking craft beers, fellas, none of that bud light nonsense (unless that's your jam, in which case, more power to you). Main Street in Alhambra has always had a great variety of bars and beer selection, but Limericks is your tried-and-true gritty pub with sports on the Telly and cold brew on tap. Now that I've sold you on this place, definitely come check them out for great drinks and a good time. I will say that the food is just okay, and the street tacos might've given me some GI issues. Can't say I'm surprised, though. Most tables are for 4-person parties, so if you're coming in a larger group maybe check if they can push the tables together. There are some booth seats but it's very dim and not a great table for casual socializing IMO. Cheers! read more

Came for Green Beer on St.Patty's Day I order the Sheppard pie ,it was so blain and absolutely no flavor. The vibe was fun,loved all the waitresses were in Sprit on wearing green but there set menu for today was very dissatisfying. My friends plate were bad and tasted awful. Sorry won't be back . read more

Spicy chicken sando ($10 lunch price). This place never disappoints me. This place is better than average, no doubt about it. If you're looking to get a pint and some bar food. Limrick's got it. I got a spicy chicken sandwich. I was satisfied with the food, beer and service. read more

Limericks Tavern - New American Near Me - Alhambra, California

I love this spot! Definitely my favorite local bar to chill at on a regular basis. Pros? Where do I start? Mondays: Burgers & Beer -$10 Tuesdays: Steak & Beer - $15 Wednesday: 50% off on Wings / Wine / Whiskey Thursdays: Taco Night & $5 Margarita Need I go on???? The best part is the parking. They have a huge parking structure in the back and that's a must for me as I hate looking for a parking space especially when I'm already starving. I frequent downtown a lot and we all know how bad parking is over there so coming here is heaven's sent. ALL the staffs here are Top Notch! They are friendly and fun - all seems to really enjoy working here as they even stop by on their days off. They give the best customer service which is rarely nowadays. I definitely recommend all my fellow elites to stop by to have a great time! :) read more

Limericks is a nice spot to meet up for a drink. Nice woodsy look and service was good. Bathrooms need to be cleaned more often and refurbished as the graffiti and carvings are not up to par with the rest of the decor. Food was good and they have nightly specials. Food was a bit pricey in my opinion but that is the sign of the times I guess. I had street tacos which were okay. My buddy loves the Limericks Burger with bleu cheese and bacon. I'll be back for happy hour which is good for drinks. read more

I've been here several times. The great service has been consistent, I love their happy hour prices, and they have free parking in the back. Only one time ever I ordered a clam chowder, and it didn't taste flavorful-- i'm guessing they had a new cook and they forgot to put salt. But all the other times, the food has tasted really great! I highly recommend if you're looking for a casual, comfy, cheap, friendly place. read more

Excellent food and service. Clean and well spaced. Great bar service too. Clam chowder- the ABSOLUTE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD. Seriously great sandwiches too. read more

Service: Excellent :') Food: Delicious!!! ⁃Clam chowder: Clams, bacon, potatoes, celery, onion, cream, and chives (SUPER loaded) ⁃Sliders: Guinness caramelized onions, american cheese, mayonnaise on mini brioche buns, and pickles (sooo cute and tasty) ⁃Fish & chips: Beer battered fish fillet served with Tartar sauce, lemon & spicy bacon green peas (the fish is HUGE and cooked super well) Overall, i'd definitely recommend this place if you just want to grab drinks with friends and eat bomb food! read more

Finally visited this establishment!!! I enjoyed the inside and outside seatings. The chicken chicharron was BOMB!! We ordered several drinks and the spicy margarita is on point!! Perfect amount of spicyyyy . Our bartender was great. Fast and attentive. Will be back for their weekly specials. read more

This place turned out to be a surprisingly good outdoor adjusted bar food experience. I enjoy bar food but if we are honest about bar food, bar food is usually just food with a lot of salt and some good beer to wash it down Street Tacos: choice of carne asada, carnitas, chicken served with pickled onions, cilantro & choice of green or red salsa. Good tacos, carne asada was tender a f flavorful. Chix-charrones: Fried chicken skin served with Tapatio lime aioli - more restaurants should do this! Brilliant and yummy!! Scotch Eggs: Soft boiled eggs wrapped in ground beef & panko. Served with Guinness mustard - egg wasn't as super gooey as I would have liked. Overall, it's a good sized strained Mixed Greens Salad: Mixed greens, red onions, tomatoes, bleu cheese crumbles, candied walnuts & dried cranberries. Tossed in balsamic vinaigrette - good combination fo sweet & savory. Bread Pudding: Served with caramel cream sauce, powdered sugar & whipped cream. read more

I've been coming to this place a few years now and it never disappoints. Food is good and drinks are good. However, Alyssa is the star of the show! She's always greeting everyone with a smile, making sure everyone is taken care of, and she makes the best Old Fashioned and pours the perfect pint of Guinness, shamrock and all! Next time you're in the area on a Friday night, I highly recommend you drop in. read more

I've been coming here for over a few years now, and I gotta say Tuesday nights have become my favorite! That's probably because of Alyssa their bartender. I love the feeling of coming in and not having to say what my drink will be, she's on top of it. Good humor and great conversations, even when my girlfriend is there Alyssa is on top of it (my gf doesn't always make drink orders easy). Honestly most of the staff is exceptional, but Alyssa is the cherry on top that makes us want to keep coming here. read more

Limericks Tavern - too good - New American Near Me - Alhambra, California

We came in our Sunday night during football and the place was hopping! There was just one server for at least 7 tables and he apologized to us as soon as we sat down, but we found the service to only be moderately slow considering everything he was juggling. Poor guy was doing a great job. We started with happy hour wine, which as someone who indulges in happy hours quite frequently I'd say it wasn't great, but was drinkable. Then we shared the Irish nachos (just two of us) and it was pretty good! The menu said house made chips and as it was nachos I was expecting tortilla chips, but the potato chips were a pleasant surprise, though they made the dish itself richer. For two people this was able to be enough to fill us for dinner (with a quick stop for some dessert next door at 85C) Also parking is so easy, free structure right in the back! read more

Limericks Tavern - Irish Nachos - New American Near Me - Alhambra, California

Been here a couple of times now, atmosphere is great, came to watch the NFL season debut and its great because they have tv s in every possible area so you don't have to worry about where you're gonna sit, and not be able to watch comfortably. If you're still not down to sit in a crowded room full of cheering people, don't worry the patio is open, spacious and also showing the big game. Of course they have beers on beers and mixed drinks. So if you're coming to drink, you'll have lots of choices. As far as the food, I've only had appetizers, the chicharrones, onion rings, wings and sliders. Would definitely recommend the chicharrones. Let me tell you that they have the best mixed green salad, so good with blue cheese and walnuts and red onion, delicious, I guess you can add bacon or chicken, but I've only had it plain and it's so good, it's menacing at first all you see is a big pile on your plate, but trust me you'll finish it and it will feel like it was just enough. Definitely coming back!! read more

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

There isn't much of a night life in SGV, so it was nice to find this spot when my two other options were closed on a Monday. First of all, there's a parking structure in the same building so that's nice and convenient. Second, they have a really amazing HH menu even though I just missed it. I would definitely return for the HH. They have a little patio area in the front with string lights, which had a nice and chill vibe. Since I was only here for drinks, I only had a Moscow Mule ($12). It was pretty standard, but good. Our waiter checked on us multiple times and was very friendly. Pretty cool bar, especially since there aren't many around in the area. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for years. We don't just come for the food (steak and frits is our fav!) we come for the service. Specifically from Alyssa who not only is an excellent bartender, but a top notch mixologist. She knows our drink and food favorites as soon as we walk in the door. I love when she asks, "Are we having the usual today?" Always friendly, always smiling and always good conversation. Alyssa always keeps her bar space clean and tidy. She is best in class at her craft. read more

The food and ambience is great. They have daily specials as well as speedy and friendly service. Underground parking is available. Taco Thursday is my favorite because of their savory delicious carne asada tacos. Yumsterville craft beers are great as well as their mixxed cocktails. read more

Limericks Tavern is conveniently located close to the apartment so my fiance and I walked over for some Friday HH to get the weekend started. We ordered two items off the HH menu; Irish nachos and angus sliders with Limerick's stout and whiskey sour. They ran out of the pretzels, which was what I really wanted. The Irish nachos were extremely salty and barely had any cheese. We left half uneaten. Angus sliders were thankfully tasty. It was juicy and tender, but had few hardened bits that I needed to spit out. Drinks were good. The whiskey sour was refreshing and gave me a nice lil buzz. Overall, Limericks Tavern was just average. Our waitress was very friendly, but it took a while to get our check. I would not come back. read more

Limericks Tavern - New American Near Me - Alhambra, California

My co-workers and I like to destress by trying various happy hour places around Alhambra, but the one we frequent the most is Limericks. It's usually not too busy during after-work hours, parking is convenient, and it's close by. Not only do they offer Happy Hour on weeknights, but they also have weekday specials. Their HH menu is fairly good for satisfying those munchies after a long day of work - there are beers and appetizers for a discounted price. I'm not sure if the cocktails are also discounted, but the marked price is fairly decent compared to other locations so I'm not complaining. I've tried several of their cocktails - Dolores ($8), Limericks Sour ($10), Royal Stewart ($8) - and all of them are fairly decent. I don't have an absolute favorite, but all of them have good flavor and I'm able to taste the alcohol in them (i.e. they're not too watered down). And you get a good amount in each cup. Some co-workers prefer beer and they do have an extensive list; I think there was one time that they were running a test run on IPAs so all they had on tap was discounted. As for the appetizers, I've tried the calamari, chix-charrones, wings (garlic parmesan, lemon pepper), sliders, and poutine. I don't think there's something on the menu that nobody enjoyed. Most of the food is fried, and as I like to think, all fried food is pretty tasty. If they can work on improving service just a bit, I think that would make this review to 5 stars. The place isn't too busy, but the server helping us on both occasions constantly forgot orders, took long before bringing us needed items (plates, water, utensils, etc), forgot to put in orders. Which wasn't too big a bother since we weren't in a rush, but I can't imagine how it would be if things were super busy. They also have trivia on Wednesdays, which is fun and brings a lively crowd. Decent place to come for happy hour. Located next to 85 Bakery. Lots of TVs around the restaurant. Good place to kill time if needed. read more

A group of us wanted to meet up and we decided on Limericks Tavern. This is just the perfect place for us to meet up as it is in the center of the cities we reside. We got seated outside and we were the only table there which was just perfect. There were 9 of us and we got to try many different dishes. I love the Irish Nachos and the fish and chips was just delicious. It was drizzling at one point but we didn't care. Thank God the rain came and went fast. We talked and drank ... Until they closed. If any of you wanted to find the perfect spot for gathering after the three dreadful years of pandemic. Come to Limerick ... And they have parking structure just right in the back. Don't forget to try the wings too .. yum yum read more

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

I used to frequent this part of Alhambra a lot more when they were barely building this spot. I finally dropped in on a quiet Sunday night. I liked the variety of beers and the good selection of food. We had some calamari and some wings while I went down the list of IPA's. While the service could have been a bit better it was a good visit overall. Walking distance to all other spots if you want to start off here and make your way to other bars or restaurants. read more

Good food, good ambiance and great Happy Hour Specials. We had the Limericks burgers and beer on Monday, you can sub the patty for alternate meat patty. We originally came in for take out but our waiter was so nice and charming we ended up staying to eat in. read more

Limericks Tavern - Happy Hour Specials - New American Near Me - Alhambra, California

I have been coming to this place for a few years now. The staff is great and I will honestly say that I discovered it during a very tough (physically) time in my life, after getting very sick from the vaccine. I was suddenly on a very limited income and their daily specials literally saved my life! Monday Burger and a beer, Tuesday, Steak and a beer, Whiskey/Wing/Wine Wednesdays! I knew them all by heart and that was literally my diet 2020/2021. Very strange as I didn't even start drinking alcohol until a few years prior! But Limericks bar/staff and patrons (a group of regulars who literally all care about one another), became my "Cheers." Sal (Owner or Mgr. I'm not sure) may appear serious, but has a playful side. The regular bartenders at that time were Shane, Elisa, Shelby and Jesse and are all spirited and amazing in their own right. I came there, literally only drinking ONLY dirty martini's and an occassional Cider. Elisa changed that, she asked if I liked Gin and I said "no, I don't think so, never had it really." She said "I'm going to make you something I think you're going to love - it's called a Bee's Knee's. It has honey and gin, and egg white and some bitters. NEVER did I ever think I would like it but guess what!?? It's literally my FAVORITE DRINK ever and Limericks is the ONLY place I've ordered it where it is made the way it's supposed to be made! So absolutely delicious!! The best most sexy mouthful of liquid I've ever had!! Elisa & Shelby both make it to perfection!! I appreciate their super friendly/real vibe and outstanding customer service! Guys you all are great too, but these two are literally something special! So warm, friendly and caring, they make it a place where you truly feel valued as a customer & friend. Not to mention, Elisa just so happens to go above and beyond in perfecting her craft and takes no short cuts in getting the drinks AND food ordered exactly the way you like it. Thank you to ALL the staff and the Sal for putting together such a top-notch group! read more

Gotta love the consistency. Tonight was legend. My whole crew took heed to my word and showed up after close to this bar. Been here for specials and happy hours and it's worth it. Not a bad price and they have solid deals during the week. Check out the Monday Wednesday food / drink combo deals. TV within an eyeshot for the sports fans. A backup bar Incase it gets dicey. Maranda is the truth. She knows how to layer a snakebite! She's fast and friendly! We had too much fun with the jukebox and crushed last call, and that's a statement. We're industry lifers. Very taken care of. The regulars and locals were fun conversation as long as you're not being antisocial. Who's down for trivia night?! read more

If you want somewhere to hang out, have drinks, and enjoy good food Limericks Tavern is a good place to go to! Our server that we had definitely gave a lot of good recommendations and just gave off a welcoming vibe. As for the food my favorite would have to be the Irish potato's. Goes well with any drinks that you have and is shareable with everyone at your table! Overall I'd give a 4 star from service, food, and environment. read more

Amazing place. It looks like a restaurant from the outside, but once you go in... it's amazing! It has television sets set up everywhere. Some of the television are even inside the booth so you get your own television if you sit there. Great way to watch sports. Love it during NFL and MLB season. Their food is delicious and their drinks are amazing. The service is fast and everyone that works there is genuinely nice, courteous and efficient read more

It's been a while since I've last written a review, but I'm excited to share with you about this hidden gem in the SGV. I can't tell you how many times I've passed by this bar, but never went in because I was always under the impression it was more for drinking. Being a huge foodie- I always want to make sure to have good eats when I'm having a nice cold beer or cocktail. When I first tried this spot- they had open dining on their patio, it was quite a hot day so I appreciated that they had umbrellas. Our waitress recommended trying the Irish cold brew and boy was it satisfying! Deep, rich flavors of coffee with the Jameson whiskey and whipped cream on top! For food, we ordered: Calamari $16 Garlic parmesan wings $12 Carne asada fries $12 Clam chowder $12 Fish & chips $18 Bread pudding $7 Everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious- when I first caught a whiff of the garlic parmesan my mouth was already watering. Their clam chowder is definitely one of the best I've had in SGV- generous portions of clams and I loved that they included a few whole manila clams with their shell. After eating all the appetizers/main dishes- I wasn't sure if I could handle dessert, but I have a soft spot for bread pudding so why not?! If you're planning to get this- definitely go ala mode with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It is to die for with the warm caramel cream sauce & whipped cream. During COVID- they're offering their take out menu so definitely stop in and give them a try if you're in the area :) read more

Your average Irish tavern. Bartenders are super nice and honest about what is/isn't good. I had an old fashioned, and it wasn't the best I've had but was about what I expected. I do like that the place is fairly large and so there was no issue finding seating and talking with my friend. Stay Cheerful ;) read more
