Matters regarding Limerick, Limerick Pubs, No Culture allowed

[TreatyStones]

@myboyblue

I stayed in The George Boutique Hotel once or twice a few years back and found it cheap and cheerful. Nicely located too. Maybe a Limerick native could confirm if its still a viable option.

Probably the best value hotel in Limerick (or at least it used to be).

Actually go with Julio Georgios selection of OnePery Square.

You’d want to stay in the Maldron. It’s in a lovely spot surrounded by amenities, easily accessible from motorway etc. Have a top level golf course a few hundred yards away. Nice short, safe walk into town too. You could also go for a jog through the estates that surround it and immerse yourself in Limerick culture.

Thanks, all. I used to walk back across the bridge from The Strand to go disco dancing in Ted’s. Is the bridge at that end of town near to all the great pubs you guys regularly chat about? Also, there was a quality restaurant which may be closed. It might have been beside The Locke or it might even have been part of it. Other side of the water to Deloitte or one of the accountancy firms. What was that called? Is it still there? Is Freddie’s Bistro still going?

You are never far from anywhere once you are in the city centre. Come back to us closer to the time and we’ll give you a full run down. Freddies is still going mate, though I’ve never been. It’s on my list of things to do since my return.

Great memories. It’s where I first got to know @Rocko. Is Moll’s gone?

Mol Darby’s

Now known as Azur. Wouldn’t be a fan but I know plenty who like it. @Bandage - Freddie’s is still going strong, though if you fancy good quality beef/steak etc, you won’t do better than Brimstone on Bishop’s Quay - almost directly across the river from The Strand.

And you can tie your horse to the railings outside.

Were you his bag carrier?

@The_Dunph was always a big fan of the Railway Hotel

[Bandage]

I was indeed. I was the first year junior, Coins was the second year semi-senior, Rocko was the third year senior and Jambers was the fourth year super senior. Coins had some kind of breakdown during the 3-month audit.

Hard to believe there was a company requiring a three month audit in Limerick. Ye must have been tearing the arse out of it.

My GEuss would be it was a big company in the General Shannon area.

@bandage, no.1 Pery is nice but some of the rooms can be small, so if you are going down that route request one of their bigger rooms… The food in there is lovely and the buffet breakfast is a step up from the standard Neanderthal version you get in a lot of hotels. Just don’t confuse it with the Best Western Perry hotel when you go researching… Overall, I’d recommend it, lovely quaint bar serving all night and they try to accommodate most requests for room service late into the night.

The Strand and Absolute are next up, both modern, spacious rooms and decent food…not as personable as the Perry but fine hotels nonetheless and both a short stroll from the city…the Strand has an OK gym (and pool?) That you could avail of… Freddy’s is still going but I’d be making a booking now…shame princess and I won’t be around for a double date, pal…request a pub itinerary closer to the date.

I’m planning a romantic night in Limerick on Saturday 13th February to coincide with Valentine’s weekend. Any hotel recommendations, chaps? I used to stay in The Clarion on the quay/docks or the defunct Jury’s (now known as The Strand possibly?) during my Stokes Kennedy Crowley days over a decade ago but I haven’t stayed in Limerick since. I’d like to be city centre based and in walking distance to pubs/restaurants rather than staying in The Radisson or somewhere on the outskirts. Any (genuine) assistance appreciated.

Did you not get the Christnmas bonus?

@bandage treat yourself to the Savoy. Your woman will thank you.
One Pery sq would mean walking thru a quasi red light district. She won’t thank you for that.
The Strand is good but forgettable.

[Bandage]

We live in a brothel so she won’t be phased by the red light district, mate.

@ChocolateMice, thanks for the tips - No 1 Per®y seems to be very expensive but you’ve sold it to me.

@Fagan_ODowd - this isn’t about bonuses. What better way to spend Valentine’s Eve than watching Wexford hurlers take on Teege’s Tigers in the Treaty city?
