Limericks Traditional Public House — Restaurant in Calgary

I recently visited The Limerick Pub on a quiet Sunday afternoon, hoping for a relaxed pub experience but, unfortunately, left disappointed. While the space itself is clean, tidy, and what you’d expect from a neighborhood pub, the experience was far from welcoming.

The service was the biggest letdown. Throughout our visit, one server in particular spent the entire time loudly complaining about their shift, which echoed through the room and created an uncomfortable atmosphere. To make matters worse, they left stacks of dirty dishes piling up on our table and even spilled a drink all over one of our seats without bothering to clean it up. Despite asking multiple staff members for a simple drink refill, it sat untouched at the bar while the same server continued venting about their job. Others around us had to leave their tables just to request basic condiments and meal essentials—something no guest should have to do.

The final straw was when we walked out, leaving food and drinks unfinished due to the poor service. Instead of any acknowledgment or concern, the server seemed more focused on whether we had paid than on the clear issues that drove us to leave in the first place.

The food? Passable at best. Classic pub fare, but the roast beef we ordered was disappointingly dry, paired with a watery au jus that did nothing to save the dish. It felt like a missed opportunity—especially for a Sunday roast, which should be a staple at a place like this.

The Limerick Pub has potential—the space is inviting—but the staff’s lack of professionalism and subpar food execution hold it back. Someone call Gordon Ramsay; this place could seriously use a...

Our office had our holiday party at this location. We called and spoke with Nitin and they were extremely accommodating and helpful. Nitin had our party booked the same day we called and gave us a very appetizing menu for the team and was very fast at responding to us leading up to the event. We had about 20 people and they put us in a beautiful and cozy room by the stairs. The tables were big, chairs were comfortable for everyone at the event. Not only was the room comfortable and perfect for a large group. The food for their holiday buffet was AMAZING. There was veggies and dip, meats and cheese, potatoes AND a delicious option of Turkey was provided. They even had a beautiful cranberry sauce and dinner rolls to finish off a classic Christmas lunch (no other pub was able to offer us a classic Christmas dinner for such a great price) The food came out in good time, it was HOT the entire time we were there (about 4 hours) and to finish off dinner they put out some beautiful deserts (small baked goods and assortment of treats). The service was fast, and every staff member was extremely kind to our 20 people needing drinks and other questions throughout the lunch. i was very impressed with the service provided. And to top off the whole experience, they let us all take a box home from whatever was left of the buffet as there was so much food provided. 10/10 service / 10/10 food. and thank you Nitin for helping accommodate us with not a lot of notice. And thank you for accommodating our requests and letting us know about your buffet. We will ALL be coming back for our future parties. Thank you,...

The food is good here. Best teriyaki wings I can find. Which is why I have gone many times despite the experience being miserable more often than not. The serving staff seems like a revolving door, it is rare to see the same server two visits in a row. I will focus on the last visit, but this type of service is typical here. The last time we were there it took about 20 minutes before they even came to our table. We ordered drinks and food together (knowing it would take forever to get another chance). It took forever for the wings to come out. My girlfriend got ranch instead of blue cheese dressing. Which is not a big deal - but the server never came to check on us after dropping the food. No "how's the first few bites" or "can I get you anything else". Eventually I had to go track her down. The nachos came after we had finished the wings and had time to wait. That means it took about 40 minutes to put nachos together. We thought they forgot them altogether In that time I had to go ask for a refill, because again no one checked on us. They dropped the nachos off and that was last last we saw of them until I had to go and get the server for my bill. There was 1-2 other tables occupied the entire time we were there. The server was not busy, just inattentive. One extra star because the food is good, but it is expensive for pub food and not worth the...
