The Locke Bar

Highlight • Pub

The multi-award winning Locke Bar is picturesquely situated in the heart of Limerick City's medieval quarter, where the Abbey River meets the Shannon. The beautiful riverside location with a hugely popular outdoor seating and entertainment area offers the city of Limerick a unique offering.
A gastro pub serving food 7 days a week, it is particularly well known for its Ocean Fresh Seafood menu and fresh daily specials selection, as well as many other dishes to suit all tastes.
The Locke Bar has a history and a resonance to its premises that is rarely found in Ireland. It occupies the original site of one of Limerick City's oldest pubs, dating back to 1724. It is close to some of the city's most historic landmarks such as St Mary's Cathedral, King John's Castle and the Hunt Museum.

King John's Castle

Highlight • Castle

King John's Castle (Irish: Caisleán Luimnigh) also known as Limerick Castle is a 13th-century castle located on King's Island in Limerick, Ireland, next to the River Shannon. Although the site dates back to 922 when the Vikings lived on the Island, the castle itself was built on the orders of King John of England in 1200. Some of the external walls, towers and fortifications remain, and the site is open for visitors. The remains of a Viking settlement were uncovered during archaeological excavations at the site in 1900.
