Limericks was a perfect stop for an evening drink or for supper. It is a small place and is maybe missing a little bit of cozy ambiance but that is also what makes it charming. Bloody Mary’s were made with some extra love. I would say top 3 in the state for tastiest Bloody Mary. The tap beer was clean and delicious. The biggest surprise for us was the Irish Stew. It brought me back to Ireland with the first spoonful. The staff was down to earth, friendly, and made you feel like you were important no matter how busy they were. It’s a must stop for our future visits.

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.

We stopped in before a concert this last Tuesday. Service was top notch (especially for one person taking care of everything). The Shepherd's Pie was exceptional. Not something that is usually at the top of my list to order....but definitely 10 out of 10 here. Good job all around!
The food was amazing. Excellent shepherds pie.The Reuben was the best I’ve had and highly recommend it. I know we’ll be going back

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 disappointed :)

Amazing food, Black & Tans were perfect. Food handmade or locally sourced. The owner is so nice and fun to talk with. Can't wait to try more menu items, and hear the Irish music. A new favorite place.

We enjoyed a relaxing delicous dinner for 6 before a show at the Grand. Salads were amazing, mac and cheese with chicken was devoured and the Reubens were oustanding. The shepard pie was throughly enjoyed, no leftovers. We enjoyed a few black and tans that were well poured. It is nice to have great food, drink and conversations so close to all the activity.

The Rueben is the best I’ve ever had. Usually I don’t like corned beef because it’s usually gristly, but the corned beef here is melt in your mouth. Great job Cory!!

I just visited Limericks new location and it's beautiful! The new place looks great and it's warm and welcoming inside. The owner is friendly as ever and the food was delicious. And you can't go wrong with a cold Guinness on tap.

Claims to be open until 230 am. By 7 pm they stopped serving food. We walked by at 9 pm and they were closed. We were told to skip the place. We should have and you should too.

Traveled to Wausau from Waupaca to meet our friends from Eau Claire. Wausau is pretty much the halfway point for each of us. Stopped at Limericks for lunch. The owner was welcoming and engaging. There was a good selection of Irish beers on tap. Everyone's meal was delicious. Better yet the Shepherd's Pie was definitely a five.
