The drinking quarter, book the Hamptons for a feed after the match, right next to the Savoy, you won’t be disappointed
It was gone for a few years but recently noticed the mixed grill is back on the menu
The Greenhills mixed grill is part of the ICONIC TFK Limerick food golden triangle along with Finnegans chicken curry half n’half and stuffing chips
4 dubs will surely be looking for bags of knock. @Mark_Renton will sort them out

The Greenhills is a bit of a dump and they don’t do the mixed grill anymore but it is very handy for the GG and parking

Your trip up to us for the round robin fixture might just have gotten a little more attractive.

A resounding victory for me…
The reference to King John was introduced by John Ferrar in the late 18th century. It was always known as Limerick Castle or sometimes King’s castle more locally. Ferrar was the grandson of a Williamite settler so it’s interesting to see where you take your cues from. But I’m glad to see that we should dismiss what history departments teach (not that they did) and we should trust whst the twitter or insta picture tells us![]()
There are dozens of historic maps in this fantastic package that I picked up years ago
The Castle is generally referred to as Kings (or some variation on that spelling) Castle or just ‘castle’
The first mention of king John is here from the late 19th century

The lads who use source material for their history vs the lads who use what mikey down the pub said have won the day here.
Wasn’t i looking at that in O’Mahonys yesterday but it was in a sealed plastic cover so I couldn’t browse it. Is it worth the €35? I do enjoy maps.
