While wandering around Limerick, we popped into Flannery's Bar, bellied up to the bar and ordered a…read morefew pints. It was absolutely perfection from entry to exit! The vibe is classic Irish pub, the staff is friendly and welcoming and the Guinness is delicious! The outside is classic red and welcomes you right in, when you enter through the small door, you walk right into the bar which is flanked by small seating areas on the right and left. The only gripe is the bathroom was pretty rough, but this is a super old place...but next renovation should include the restroom for sure. Overall, loved Flannery's!

Food came out good and was served to the right people and our waiter was so respectful and attentive. When I said we needed quite a bit of ketchup for some of us who got chips and burgers - he set a box right next to us to be able to help ourselves. I got the burger and chips and it was delicious. I would go to this place again when I make it back, I will definitely not hesitate eating here.

The food was definitely the highlight of our visit. The service was decent and our meal arrived in a reasonable amount of time. The atmosphere was lively, though it was quite loud during our visit, so it's not the best spot if you're looking for a quiet meal. Overall, we had a great experience and would happily return for the delicious food.

This is not good that you would expect in the US. There was very little Acai berry. My veggies included 2 mushrooms, fried potatoes and baked beans along with 2 sunny side eggs. The scone was really amazing as was the jelly that came with it. Irish pub food is special. It can only be evaluated on it's own context. Great food it was not. The service was wonderful, as was the ambience.

The fish was flaky, they used fresh dill which gave it a super fresh taste, and it was salty like I like it. Definitely give 4 thumbs up for the chowder.

What can one say about the first pub they visit in the Irish country side, especially after an…read more(what felt like) eternity on an airplane, and a 2 hour drive on the wrong side of the road? Is this review slightly biased? Did I see the world though jetlagged eyes? Yes absolutely, but who the hell cares; Bill hooked me up with my first pint after one long journey from NYC and I will be forever grateful for it. Walking in, we found a well sized pub with a nice selection of beers on tap. The usual selection of Smithwick's, Harp, Bulmer's cider were to be found, and I couldn't have been happier to see them waiting for me. The first thing that really struck me however was the music. How could we have known that Bill Chawkes was voted the number one country bar in Ireland? So while we were sipping on our pints Shania Twain and Toby Keith sang about pickup trucks and broken hearts.......just what we were looking for in Ireland, American rednecks haha. Again though we were exhausted and thrilled to be anywhere that had a cold pint and some food. We made our way to the nicely sized backyard and found a nice table in the shade. After a few minutes (and a few rounds) we ordered up a bite to eat; I had the burger (Irish beef is awesome), and my date had the chicken curry. As soon as the curry came out I knew I had made a terrible mistake, as it smelled like heaven (tasted like it too) but alas I had to settle for "curry fries" which were almost as good. Like I said maybe it was the jetlag, or the thrill of finally making it to our destination (or both), but this was one of the nicest meals I had on the whole trip. If you are in Adare, Bill Chawkes is absolutely worth checking out; good food, great location, and a lively crowd in the evening - you can't go wrong.

As the first Irish bar that I visited, Bill Chawkes Pub has a special place in my heart. Chawkes…read moreis a large pub with a great back yard space. It was still early so there was just a large party in the yard and a few locals sitting around the bar. Since it was such a pleasant day, we opted to sit out back to enjoy our first official Irish pints and lunch. The yard's walls are covered in old timey cigarette and alcohol ads with large statues of men and their dogs. The only thing that was slightly off putting was the american country music pouring out of the speakers. Once I got over the initial shock of realizing that Shania Twain, Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks were here to stay, I settled in. I just took it as a sign that Ireland was welcoming us with an easy transition. The bar tender was a friendly gentleman that helped us pick brews and took our orders after a few drinks. Even though we were outside, he was attentive and timely with service. As we enjoyed the afternoon, we got to meet another American couple that had been visiting Ireland. It was nice to get their opinions of what they've done and where we might look into going. Although, when the food arrived, we couldn't help but ignore them while we dug in. I had made a choice to eat local cuisine while in Ireland so I had chosen the chicken curry (diced chicken in a thick curry sauce served with rice). It was just delightful. My date had ordered the cheeseburger and french fries which was also quite good. The beef is certainly a different flavor over in Ireland and the french fries were great (especially dipped in the curry). The environment is great, food is fantastic and service is well done. What more could a person look for in a local pub. I would be happy to return to this little quaint town and, of course, I'd make sure to have my first pint here.
