Matters regarding Limerick, Limerick Pubs, No Culture allowed

How far out is that before or after discount fuels? Assume you still run into same traffic if going to Kerry just from a different angle in town? Do you come up the side of the motel

From the Times of 1886. Perhaps we should intervene again after 131 years to point out the error of their ways to the Tories.

The Galway Bay Brewery finally signed the lease on O’Donnell’s yesterday. Works to commence on the building next week.

I really don’t get why they are taking that place. Be good to have it as an option though.

Not exactly on route to any other decent pubs in town. Looks small and poky from the outside as well. That area in town seems to be picking up slightly in the last year or 18 months though.

They looked at the Blind Pig but it was too big. I was chatting to a lad I know who does some work for them, and he said they generally take on a place that they don’t have to do much work to. O’Donnells seems like it would need a fair bit of work. Maybe they’re hoping to attract the staff from the nearby Uber?

Normally their places are big enough I’d have thought. Limerick is crying out for a hipster bar though, they’ll do alright wherever they are. But there are so many better venues around the place available that I’d have picked. But sure what do I know.
From the outside O’Donnells looks to be falling down but maybe it isn’t so bad inside.

Strange to collapse amid a housing shortage I’d have thought. The houses are very expensive out there, maybe they aren’t selling.

As I mentioned before Bourkes across the road would have been the ideal venue.
Directly opposite the young, hip workforce of uber for evening pints and directly on the busy Tom Collins / Flannerys / Mickeys / Nancys / Icon route.

Weird spot to put the pub as that whole street is run down. I suppose they think that’ll add to the charm. They’d have got it for small money too.

It looks down onto Thomas Street though and with that new veggie restaurant that area is looking up.
A face-lift at the front and it’ll be a grand spot.

That’d ruin it’s charm.

Throw up a picture there so our cousins up the country can have a chuckle at the new hipster bar.

Remember when there was 5 pubs on that street . The Navigator Bar was one of the city’s roughest . The dolphin gone too . Ditto Sadliers .

Here you go lads, fairly small inside though not in need of massive work by the looks of it. Potential upstairs as well

Ah here that’s an awful location. Can’t see them doing well there.

How is the recently Hipsterised Round House doing ??

They can now feed off each other

Quite well it seems. Only been in there a handful of times but it’s a nice spot
