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.

Excellent pub food, great beer and service. You wont go wrong with the Glen.

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.More

Good Eats in Limerick - Glen Tavern

What a treat to eat at a traditional Irish Tavern. We were in for a day trip from Cobh. The Shepherd’s Pie was tasty. My wife had a traditional Limerick Ham sandwich.

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.

Hidden gem

We had a hard time finding a place for dinner while in limerick, mostly pubs and no food service. We went into a pub and the bartender recommended The Glenn Tavern. Glad we stopped in. Great value. Chowder was good.

Best Irish stew I had, but even better service

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!More
