Limericks Public House — Restaurant in Wausau

Skip this place. Apparently this place has moved from previous location and is just not set up to handle business unless you are just ordering a drink. I went in the place because their menu items looked good online but unfortunately this place was a one man show trying to do everything. I simply wanted to place a simple to-go order for a ruben. The bar tender , who was the only one there after they opened on a SATURDAY when it's the weekend, was slow to take my order. I had to really go out of my way to get his attention, he then tried to take someone else's drink order when I had already been waiting 10 minutes already before that customer. He then made a comment that ' it wouldn't matter anyway because he was the only one there' , then he took my order on a paper ticket and set it down so I could wait some more. At that point I walked out. The place is very boring and plain inside as well with no decor, with the exception of a live band some days. Not sure how they wait on customers who want to sit in a booth and actually want to be waited on. Really good luck to this place if this is how you normally operate , especially on a weekend with downtown wausau already becoming as get-to as it is with everyone driving by who feels the need to 'pop off' in some way. What happened...

We were told that the food here was top notch. So we were expecting above average bar food; as this is an Irish Bar. We were given a menu, which is not something you normally get at a bar. We were very surprised by the items! Even more surprised by the quality of food! The food that we ate was better than any fancy, cloth napkin restaurant we have been to. We all ordered different dishes and every one was a banger! And this is a one person show people! The owner not only took orders, served drinks and chit chatted with us, but he also did all the cooking! And no one was neglected when other customers showed up! Holy cow! Lastly, to mention the drinks. My wife ordered a black and tan, and it was actually made properly. Meaning, the 2 beers did not mix together. He made the black and tan to look like a drink that had a black beer and a tan beer in one glass! Dude! Cannot gush about this place enough! Feel free to check it out yourself, because you won't be...

This bar and restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is consistently amazing — their Reuben is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly grilled, packed with flavor, and just the right balance of savory and tangy. Every time I stop in, I find something else to love on the menu.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, a perfect mix of cozy and energetic. Whether you’re out for a casual drink, dinner with friends, or just grabbing a bite solo, it feels like the kind of place where everyone is welcome.

What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. The owner is incredibly friendly and truly cares about the customer experience. The staff are just as welcoming — attentive, upbeat, and genuinely happy to be there.

Loving the new location too — it’s got a fresh vibe, plenty of space, and still retains all the charm that made me fall in love with this place to begin with.

Can’t recommend it enough. If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and...
