Great Irish pub! The owners are amazing people and the service has always been top notch.

Updating this review to note the new ownership. The food is already much better, and the service is good during the week.

3.2.24 Service Hubby and I started at the bar while we waited for friends. Hubby and I struck up a conversation with the owner who was friendly and personable. Owner worked the bar and served drinks, but also came around and took order for drinks when we transitioned to our table. We later had a server who was great too and came by frequently to clear our table and asked if we needed anything. Ambiance Fun and cute Irish decor throughout the pub. Loved the vibe. Bar, dining, and patio seating. Live music at 8pm on Saturdays. Drinks Extensive menu of wine, whiskey, and beer. Happy hour on all pints (16 oz), Glass Wines and Rail Spirits, Monday-Friday from 4-7pm and all day on Sundays (only at the bar). $2 off on bottles and cans in Saturdays. Food Menu Weekly Specials include: Monday: half priced burgers (night and dine-in only) Tuesday: unlimited veggie curry Wednesday: prime rib Saturday/Sunday Brunch (11am-3pm) Food Rating -Fish and Chips: average -Reuben sandwich: delish -mozzarella sticks: good -calamari: average -banofee pie: average (Friend wanted to come here as she was on a mission to try this, but sadly it disappointed.) Final Impression Love the service and ambiance. I don't drink so can't comment on it. Food was decent, but didn't have anything that was noteworthy. A great pub for St. Paddy's Day approaching. read more

Cool Irish Pub! Stopped by during happy hour to catch up with my favorite Yelper. We sat at the bar. Great service by Lauren and Louie. I wasn't hungry so I can't speak on the food. Drinks were good. I was impressed with the selection of bourbon/whiskey! I ended up trying a new one, Heaven's Door - I liked it. The customers seem to be regulars. I like this type of vibe. I would come again and try the food. Parking wasn't bad - found a metered spot. Definitely pay the meter - they do check! read more

Went here Sunday night and had a horrible experience the bartender was behind the bar drinking from the bottles as they got low, and then the bartender was having a conversation with two other bar patrons and proceeded to ask where one of them was from the patron answered NC the bartender whom is a employee proceeded to ask the patron VERY loudly if the town they are from has a lot of "coons" I WILL NOT RETURNING and STRONGLY encourage others to do the same read more

I first came here in 2013 for a beer, and was immediately won over. On subsequent visits, I've enjoyed every meal I've had here, whether it be a simple burger, fish and chips, shepherd's pie, Guinness beef stew...all the classics. There are vegetarian options as well as less traditionally Irish offerings which I've not had, but am sure are wonderful as well. The service is excellent, and the staff are warm, courteous, and just really wonderful people. I've always felt welcome there, not only by the staff, but also by the regulars. This is more than just a pub, it's an active part of the local community. There is live music on Saturday nights, jam sessions on Wednesdays, and meal specials throughout the week. Find a friend and drop on by! read more

Had a birthday dinner here yesterday with seven friends - Limerick was kind enough to accommodate of our party of 8 wanting to sit outside despite the cold. The food was delicious, there were tons of drink options, and the service was amazing! Big shout out to our server Chris, who was super friendly and efficient - he took great care of us! We will definitely be back. read more

This is definitely a neighborhood staple Irish pub! It was a relaxed early Saturday evening back in October, and I just grabbed a beer and took in the atmosphere. Bartenders were laid back, the staff were laid back, the decor was amusing... there were signs with puns and just random things hanging up. I got an international beer that I wasn't familiar with and I was pleased! I just sipped water and hung out otherwise. I occasionally saw some food go by that looked really good, like the fish and chips! The next time I come I think I'll try some food. read more

Enjoyed the food and local beer selection. Had a warm pretzel with cheese and a salad which were good. Hamburgers and wings were good too. Good place for breakfast. read more

Overall, I think this is a great local spot for booze and bites. In my case, I stopped by primarily for booze rather than bites. ;) It seems like most of the folks that come here know each other. Even though I am new to the area, all of the folks with whom I interacted were very inviting and open to conversation. The pub has daily drink and food specials depending on the night of the week. I thought the prices for the most part were pretty reasonable. Service can be a bit interesting. One of the bartenders is quite good at his job, but his personality might be a bit off putting to some. read more

I went on a Tuesday (COVID times) for my actual birthday. I called ahead to reserve an outdoor table for safety issues, and also so my friend and I could bring our dogs. Unfortunately severe rain was predicted so I called ahead and asked to be seated indoors. No problem, they said. We arrived promptly at 6:30 and were surprised to see the county surface lot direct across from them on Price Street was marked as free, yay! I am now thankful we were seated indoors because everyone seated outdoors was smoking! It smelled awful. If we had our dogs we would have had to leave. Once inside it was a different story. There were only two other tables occupied. They had moved out many tables so proper social distancing was enforced. I ordered a shandy which hit the spot. I haven't had a beer since this pandemic began. (I can't say the same thing about wine though.) I got the fish and chips and my friend had a hamburger. The fish was tender inside the perfectly crisped batter. They give you oodles of fries which my friend was able to help me out with, and I still had leftovers. I accidentally deleted my picture, but there are others on this page to view. But perhaps the best part of my meal was my birthday treat (On the house thanks to an email that arrived that afternoon)... bread pudding. This was the hugest piece I have ever seen served in a restaurant. And it was warm and delicious. I only ate a small portion there, and had two additional servings later. Get this! Overall, it was a happy birthday for me. This was my first time dining out during the pandemic. I cannot praise them enough for all they do to keep everyone safe. Our server made it a pleasurable experience too. read more

Love this place. My so-called boyfriend and I come here all the time. Excellent, homey vibes. Relaxed. Dope food too.

We had an hour to kill between events and needed to grab a bite. I saw that there are a bunch of vegan options (even for brunch!), so this spot was the choice. Holy cow, it was awesome. The server was fantastic and on it. I didn't even mention we were in a slight rush, and we were still in and out in 45 minutes. Food was hot and fresh-- and delicious. The kid's menu was pleasing to my kid. I got a great brunch sandwich with vegan egg, and my husband enjoyed his dish, too. It's Silver Spring, so parking is always fun. There's a nearby lot, though, so it's not awful. Cannot wait to go back, and highly recommend you visit, too! read more

This is the best pub period You guys are doing a great job the service is excellent the food very delicious. Bravo keep it up

This will be my go to Irish pub in the area. Fantastic Reuben sandwich with lots of vegetarian options for the wife and daughter. There's an excellent brunch menu using just-egg which is a great "fake egg" alternative. I think this even makes the place great for vegans. That's truly rare for an Irish pub. Service was absolutely amazing, it was seat yourself but as soon as we sat down we had water and a server at our table. We happened to glance up at what our daughter was pointing at and the waiter came over immediately and if we need anything. Great service, fantastic food, rare Irish pub for vegetarians/vegans read more

Pretty hearty food. My wife got the beyond burger, I don't know why... but she's not big into pub food. I got the beef stew and Shepard pie combo and it was pretty flavorful. The service was friendly and it was a quiet atmosphere. I'll probably end up going here again by myself since my wife didn't seem to like it very much but that's more of a matter of preference than the service here. I took off the star cause there was no pokestop here. EDIT I changed to five star because their is actually a gym and there are multiple stops around. I apologize. I posted this review nearly two weeks later and confused my notes. read more

So, I just wrote a review of my favorite Irish pub I've ever been to and my favorite bar in Phoenix. I've been to my local Irish bar three times since living in Wheaton, and I want to like it more, but it doesn't quite hit the mark for me. The 3 times I went were: -My birthday party on Friday, February 9 -A date on Sunday, August 26 -A show last night Wednesday, September 19 February Birthday: I had considered having my birthday party here, but when I looked, I realized it was awfully small. So, we went for Nava Thai for dinner and then to Limerick afterward. The bartender was nicer to my g/f than me, but whatever. We enjoyed the dart board, and it was pretty good. Date on Sunday, August 26th: I suggested the Limerick to a woman I had met at another bar (which I won't name because I have a major issue with them & don't want to give them name recognition after going there in July). One of the positives from that other bar was meeting this girl. We each had a beer & talked for 3 hours. It was an excellent date. The server was great. He was quick with our drinks. He came around like 5 times asking if we needed anything else. That got slightly annoying. As for that woman, perhaps, you might remember I mentioned the movie, The Blind Side starring Sandra Bullock several reviews ago, which was Tropical Smoothie Cafe in Tempe, AZ. Similar analogy applies with her. On our second date, at the end it was determined that she DIDN'T consider that or the Limerick a date. I was totally blind-sided and angry. Wednesday, September 19th: I went for the Misbehaven Maidens show. A couple of us had gotten there early to get a table & eat dinner. Upon looking at the menu, I discovered that the Happy Hour (4-7 PM) drinks were only available at the bar. So, I got a water and then ordered their Wednesday special $16 petite prime rib, mashed potatoes, & veggie of the day. The person I was with at the table first went to the bar to try to get a drink up there, but gave up since they were a little busy. He ended up paying full-price at the table. A few minutes later, I went up to the bar. And the server asked if I needed anything. I told her that I'm getting the drink at the bar since HH is only at the bar. She said I'll have to check with the manager. The manager came out saying that the HH was only for bar patrons and said that she could have me switch to the bar. I told her that I'm NOT leaving the table where my friends were. The manager even had the nerve to say that most places the HH is only at the bar. I said that a lot of places the happy hour is anywhere. That wasn't even the point. Even when the HH was only at the bar at some restaurants/bars, I've never had an issue ANYWHERE where that was the case of ordering food at the table & getting the HH drink at the bar. It was unprecedented for them to denying me a HH drink and a huge disappointment. I told her I'll just drink water. They lost drink business from me and pissed me off, which was a bad business decision on management's part. I would've had a drink (In theory, I might've ordered 10 drinks; they wouldn't have known), but they only got the $16 for the prime rib. As for the Prime Rib deal, I start with the Veggie of the Day, which was squash, zucchini, & peppers, that was pretty good. I would've wanted a few more of that, but it was tasty. The mashed potatoes were excellent. I had a feeling they would be good because I had heard the Shephard's pie was good there. The prime rib was sub-par. It was good enough, but it was well below average. It was chewy, and there was quite a bit of fat, most of which I didn't eat. I did not think the $16 Prime Rib was a good value because it was weak. The server came around with water a couple of times, which was good, because I certainly made a stand to not get a beer. Conclusions: Making comparisons with the Dubliner Irish Pub (5-stars) in Phoenix (The review I just wrote before this) with Limerick in Wheaton: 1. Dubliner is huge, and Limerick is very small. They are both well decorated, but Limerick is cramped. 2. Dubliner: I never had an issue with the food, beer, service, etc. or needed to talk to the manager. And Limerick: The manager makes me seem stupid by adding the line about HH only at the bar is commonplace. I will come back to Limerick at some point. I wouldn't mind trying the Shepherd's Pie. Bars in Wheaton aren't great. It's mostly more like clubs like Unplugged. I just like a neighborhood bar like Limerick. My top choice for bar in Wheaton is Bar Louie by the mall. They don't have the charm of Limerick, but it's specious and nice in there. read more

The Limerick Pub - Prime Rib...good enough, but less than mediocre. Sides were good though - Pubs Near Me - Wheaton, Maryland

Our family loves the Limerick! Have been coming regularly since it opened. Vibes are laid back and comfortable. Cozy fireplace in the winter. Ample outdoor seating when it's warm. Service is on point but not in your face. Luis is awesome, ditto Tom, Elijah, Billy -- really everyone we've ever interacted with (and sorry for forgetting some names). Beer and whiskey selections are sizable. And we love the food. Burger night Monday, Prime rib Wednesday, throwback Thursday... and fish and chips or curry or Tom's Toastie or salmon with salad anytime. Just a great place to have in the neighborhood and worth a visit from wherever. When they have music or trad sessions it's an extra treat - they get great people in there and it's fun to sing along. Thank you Limerick! read more

I love this place! I've been here numerous times, and it is the perfect neighborhood joint. The burgers are excellent and I just tried the french toast for brunch--perfect! The wait staff recognize me now and I always get a kind greeting and great service! Highly recommend! read more

I want to love this place SOOOOO much more than I do. I want to go there because it's local and in my neighborhood but they make it a bit hard. It's an Irish pub - their fish and chips should be the star... but every time I get them I'm disappointed. It's too much food, too much grease, too much breading and not enough fish by comparison. It's frustrating. The kids chicken tenders were good but all the kids items come with fries. They also come with drinks and ice cream which is nice but the waiters often forget to even offer the ice cream. An issue when the kid can read... . With all this said I'm thrilled Wheaton has closed the street to make it easy to eat at the neighborhood joints. read more

In the spirit of supporting neighborhood businesses, I ventured over to Limerick Pub. Why did I do that to myself? I ordered the crab dip (no crab and covered in uncooked bread crumbs accompanied with cold chips). For my entree, I requested a medium-well burger with a fried egg and bacon. Once cut, I was greeted by a dry, well done patty. The mediocre crab dip I boxed to go thinking I could fix it up at home but the burger, the burger was sent back to be re-done. Shortly after, the older red-headed bartender returned to inform me that the cook was unable to make a medium well burger. Apparently, he's a one-trick chef and that trick is over cooked beef. The bartender then argued with me about the fact that there was no difference between "well done" and "medium-well". Needless to say, I returned the food and just opted to dine on beer. I'd say I'm disappointed but honestly, annoyed is best suited. If you want beer, come to the pub. If you want decent bar food, choose unplugged or one of the other options. read more

Three and a half stars for this traditional Irish pub. Looking for a bit of blarney, than look no further. The dark wood walls and cute Irish designs make you feel welcome and part of the Irish clan. Our waitress was a lot of fun. She joked with us and gave recommendations on her favorites. I wish I could give them another star just for their onion rings. They were huge (see my picture) and they were cooked to perfection! It is hard to find a good onion ring, lots of places are using onion straws,but these were the best I have had in years. Can you tell I love onion rings? :) We split a fried fish sandwich and a Rueben. The fish was supposed to be the same as the fish and chips you can order for dinner. I read how good it was in a review, but I was not impressed. It was good, but not anything spectacular. The amount of fish was a disappointment. I would have expected a larger portion of fish, but the roll dwarfed the small piece of fried fish. The Rueben was tasty. But, again I felt that they needed more corned beef. Maybe, I am used to my deli where they pile meat on a sandwich, but when you are paying $10.00-$12.00 dollars for a sandwich, please fill me up. All in all, I would go back to try the bangers and mash or a dinner size portion. It is a great place to sing Irish songs, have a beer, and play darts. read more

I just moved to this area and visited this restaurant for the first time. It was great! I really like the atmosphere and people there. The owner was also our server, it was really busy but he was super nice. The prices were decent and they fish and chips were good. They give you a lot of food for the price. I really like the chips (fries) and onion rings. My friend got a burger and said it was good too. They have good happy hour prices at the bar for $4 drafts and rails. They also have a seasonal beer for $4 a pint. When I was there, the beer was the silver branch Pilsner (local brewery), that's cheaper than the brewery prices. I plan to come back here again. The atmosphere was great! read more

The Limerick Pub - Fish and chips with a beer - Pubs Near Me - Wheaton, Maryland

It's Friday night and we're both driving home from work. Hubby gets on his phone to look for a place to go for dinner while I drive and he says how about Limerick Pub? Sure, why not. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. I got the PEI Mussels (that's Prince Edward Island if you didn't know because neither the waitress nor I did) and the pork nachos as my main meal even though they were on the appetizers side of the menu. Oh boy, those mussels were perfect. It came in a tomato, garlic, red chili, bleu cheese, white wine sauce with a slice of brown bread. I was afraid of the bleu cheese as I absolutely detest it but I couldn't taste it in the broth. The mussels and the nachos were a very generous portion. When they brought the food, I was afraid I couldn't finish and I was right. Nachos were good and was pleased to see large chunks of pork. No skimping there. Just a little disappointed that it was only cheese whiz. Hubby ordered the Fish & Chips. It was three pieces of beer battered cod and house made chips. Definitely no complaints there. It was a great atmosphere and family friendly. It was a lovely night if you wanted to eat outside as well. We were impressed with the extremely friendly service. They have weeknight specials such as date night on Thursday. We're pretty sure that we'll be back. read more

Decor/service: the decor is average at best. It has classic Irish pub vibe in some ways but not in others. The service was average and nothing spectacular. Food did come out quick. Food: the food was good! The potato croquettes were good however the sauce that came with them could be better. The bangers and mash was really good. A great combination of flavors and the sauce for it fit perfectly. read more

Came in while I was waiting for my car in the detail shop. Friendly locals and staff. A very good experience overall. I ordered the PEI muscles. Not bad, not great but the flavor with the addition of blue cheese was surprisingly very nice. The bartender on this Saturday, Thomas was really great. Kudos to this guy. Solid pub. read more

Fish and Chips here are lightly battered, perfectly cooked, piled high, pieces of perfection. Chips are not the cigar-thick traditional "chips", but are regular americanized french fries. I did not taste them, so I'm gonna have to leave you in the dark about those. According to other reviews, the jury is out and it looks like it's gonna mistrial with a hung panel. But man is that Fish on the Fish and Chips good. It's so good, that I didn't even order it, but I'm insisting that you do. The person I was meeting with gave me a small taste, and it's all I can think about. I ordered the salmon sandwich, opting to switch out the fries for side salad. Good choice on my part. The side salad ( which I asked for before my meal), was surprisingly fresh and full of a mix of lettuces. I asked for balsamic vinaigrette and got some type of lemon vinaigrette ( which I believe to be their house dressing). It was very good! Reminded me of the Tessamae's Lemon Dressing, but with more flavor. The salmon was a bit over for my liking. But when piled on a sandwich with their Old Bay tartar sauce ( extra points for that), it was pretty delicious. I wouldn't hesitate to order it again knowing that their fish is fresh. I might ask for it medium though. Man, did I tell you how fresh the fish was in the Fish and Chips. It was largely flaky tender hunks of white soft filet. We also got a side of the brown bread which is an Irish favorite that I don't see served many places. It was also delicious! Limerick Pub... nice job. Food there is truly fantastic. Server was a bit difficult to get ahold of, and was a bit inattentive as she was busy both tending to the bar, and the restaurant seating. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. read more

We stopped in for a pint and some food without realizing there would be music. Whole normally this is something I like, that night we just wanted to chat with our friends. But I digress. The Limerick bills itself as an authentic Irish pub, but it's just too clean, too new-looking, too bright. However, the server was funny and brought our drinks quickly. We ordered some buffalo wings and Irish potato croquettes. While the wings were only ok, the croquettes were really good! I'd definitely get then again if we go back. Wheaton has a serious lack of nice watering holes, so the Limerick Pub definitely fills a gap. read more

(4) ~ very good overall takeout experience. They send a Text &/or Email when it's ready to be picked up too;) MENU: ** Prime Rib Dip(w. au jus) = (4.25) Very tasty...kinda like an Irish Cheese Steak;)lol ** Banoffee = (4.25) Very rare Treat, although this version is lacking the Toffee Notes I crave. The Limerick Banoffee is more of a Banana Pudding Pie versus a Banoffee, but I still recommend getting it if you like Banana Pudding;) Just wish it had more Toffee Flavor:) ** Guinness Beef Stew = (4) very hearty * Irish Brown Bread = (3.5) good read more

Sadly, I have to write a one star review. Food was worth the visit, atmosphere was nice, service was severely lacking. I have a ton of patience and I typically tip my server more than what is necessary or deserved but after an evening of food and drinks being coldly thrown on the table and a server that seemed to be put out that he had to wait on me I will not be returning. During a two hour stay the only time he came to ask if we needed anything was the initial order, in which he never introduced himself. To top it all off, he confronted me and tried to publicly shame me with the lousy tip and seemed to try and strong arm me to give him more. Seems as if my favorite waiter has moved on. I will be visiting this fine establishment more often. read more

Depending on your expectations (mine were not all that high) i give this a very good rating. Nice selection of beer and beverages. Wait service was good, low key and helpful. Potato leek soup was heavier than traditional but flavor was nice and it was very satisfying. Shepherds pies were just delicious and the serving was ample. I agree w previous reviewer that the crab dip was short on crab. I would definitely go back. Easy parking across street. Have been looking for a nice but not fancy local spot. The elders here may also miss the Royal Mile. read more

I won't lie I had low expectations for this place, but I will admit I was very wrong. We ordered in on UberEats and everything was amazing. We started out with Shepard's Pie Potato Skins. There are two in the order, and let me totally honest - I could have just had these for dinner and been very happy. They were delicious. There was no skimping on the toppings either. My husband had the Twins of Ireland which is Shepard's pie and Guinness Stew. He enjoyed both and commented on the richness of both. I had the fish and chips. The fish was good and firm (which is how fish and chips should be). The coating was nice and fluffy. Perfect with some malt vinegar. We will be in once dining in is a thing again (and hopefully I will add that 5th star for service) read more
