Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visited yesterday while in Limerick for a late lunch. Each member of staff were so friendly & welcoming, we were shown to a table immediately. Menu choice was very good with options to suit everyone. We opted for a chicken wrap & fish & chips. Both meals were very well presented, plentiful, piping hot and delicious. We will definitely be back & highly recommend a visit here if in Limerick city.

Was in the Glen Tavern meeting up with friend for lunch. I had the best steak pie ever cooked perfectly with plenty of steak and the pastry was lovely and crispy with tasty chunky chips. The service was top notch as always and Mags also poured me my favourite pint of kronenburg which went down a treat. If you’re ever around the glen area I highly recommend you pop in.

Had dinner with a party of 7. We ordered a wide variety of food, The Glen Beef Burger, Lasagne, Cottage Pie, Fish and Chips etc.. All the dishes were fabulous, a consistently high standard at the Glen Tavern, and good value too. Had some pints of my favourite craft beer from Whitefield Brewery. Highly recommend the Glen for a meal out, or a few drinks. Your local in the City for sure.

We came across the Glen Tavern whilst searching for Irish Stew on the menu and wandered in and were immediately greeted by a young lady.
We were escorted to a table and she gave is menus to look out.
Three of us had Irish Stew, I had the slow cooked beef, which was absolutely divine.
All of us were very happy with our meals and definitely were value for money.
When we first ordered our pints of Guinness, instead of waiting for them at the bar, the friendly barman said he would bring our drinks to our table.
After a great meal and very full and content, I could not help myself and ordered the sticky date Pudding, I can't help myself when it comes to sticky date Pudding.
The chef bought out my dessert and again very nice and had big 2 scoops of Ice-cream with it as well.
The chef, Bernard or B as he is known as was very friendly had a good chat with us and we let him know just how good his food was.
Overall a great Irish Pub and thoroughly recommend if you want friendly staff and big filling meals.
Well done Bernard and also to bar staff for great service, much appreciated.

Excellent food! They were out of their famous cottage pie so we had some other awesome goodies. The burger was hands down the best I have ever had. Fish and chips was my hubbys choice and the portion was so large he couldn’t even finish it. He said it was amazing

Great pub in Limerick. We had dinner here during our stay in the city and I must say it was a very good experience. I took the stew cooked twelve hours and it was a treat for the palate, my husband took the clam soup and potato cake and said that both were delicious and my daughter the tortellini that she judged delicious.

Great spot for a drink was full of people when we went in had great live music with a fabulous atmosphere and most importantly fast and friendly staff to manage the crowd . I unfortunately left my driver licence and a lovely man named Ger went to the trouble of messaging me on social media and is kind enough to get it posted back to me. Il definitely be back for a drink the next time I’m down 😃

Visited the Glen Tavern with my family. Great experience from the minute we came in. With covid restrictions we felt at ease with social distancing. The staff were very attentive and were clearly trained on the guidelines. Food was excellent. We had cod and the burger and left nothing on the plate. Kids were well looked after also. Would highly recommend a visit when in Limerick!

Best Irish stew I’ve had in Ireland!
But even better was the service! Above and beyond! They really care about you. I accidentally left my jacket there, and one of the employees took the time to take my jacket to the post office and send it to me, and it would not let me pay for the postage. Kind, considerate, delicious, and good vibes!

Highly don't recommend this pub because my friend and I only sat down for 2 mins and we were rudely rushed to purchase a pint. Very unprofessional and poor customer service. My money will go to a different limerick pub that respects their customers.

On a recent 2 day midweek break to Limerick we visited this pub twice, always found the customers and staff very friendly, special shout out to bar person Helen for service with a smile. Food and drink top notch in a lovely quaint tavern with seating inside and out, plus plenty of well placed TV Screens for sports fans. Don’t leave Limerick without visiting this lovely traditional pub ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A very comfortable tavern. We came on a cold, windy day. I had a delicious beef soup, my friend had a seafood chowder, both were excellent. Lunch was shepherd's pie, tasted great and was such a hearty meal. A Guiness to wash it all down made the afternoon perfect despite the weather. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend stepping in here for a bite and a drink.

We fancied a hearty lunch before our trip to Thomond Park, and the Glen didn't disappoint. My cottage pie was simply delicious . The Glen is a great spot that does excellent food and beer, and I look forward to returning.

How to start on the delicious lunch we had today. Outstanding. Mouth watering delicious. Special today was Turkey & Ham dinner. How could we refuse. Atmosphere heightened our experience from Ger to Helen, Josie, Cathal & Pa the conversation flowed. It is so relaxing, friendly & welcoming in every meaning of the words. Exceptional service. Each visitor us treated like a family friend.
Highly recommend a visit to this wonderful family run business.

We were walking from our hotel and trying to find a place to eat which was harder than we thought it would be. But given the time of night and the day of the week I understood. We find this place and it turned out to have great food and of course no complaints about the beer.
