    I suppose it's just a café, but it calls itself a wine bar because it's allowed sell wine. Try the Wine Buff near the People's Park, on Mallow St I think, or maybe that's just a shop, I'm not sure.

    I like Costelloes - nice relaxed atmosphere and good music aswell. Granted I haven't been there in a while.

    Nancy Blakes is pretty good aswell.

    Then Molly's

    Other than that I'm pretty easy going. Haven't been to any real dives yet but then again there's a first time for everything.

    Cheers
    Rory

    Has to be Nancys for the music and generally the great crowd.
    Curragower for the Guinnnes, views and real pub atmosphere
    Dolans for the Trad and craic.

    Hi, I'm american, and I just spent part of December in Limerick for the first time. I loved it! The people of Limerick are awesome!!! My Fav 3 pubs were...

    #1) O'Riadas because the owner (Tom) and barmaid (Sophia) were so nice to me, and were my friends for the week I was there. I hope to see them again! Say 'Hi' for me if you're in there! They will know who I am... I hope. :D

    #2) Nancy's because I liked the outdoor patio and when I went there during the day it wasn't that crowded.

    #3) The pub across the street from Condells office center on Roches street. Because I had a lot of fun with Michelle! (works there on weekend). If you see her ask about my story with the drunk guy speaking gaelic.

    Cheers,
    Scott in Santa Cruz, Ca.

    Bullets, Quinns was a gay bar back in the day as well. Before it would have been cool to openly call a bar a gay bar like. But other alternative folks as you call em, drank in there too. When my parents were teenagers they were hippy/bikers and they drank there and they tell me there was a big gay clientelle back then.

    My fave pubs in Limerick are Portley's (though it's not as good a Frawley's (RIP) it's nearly as close to me). I'm also going to jump on the Tom Collin's bandwagon too. Love that place.

    Ohh, speaking of Cecil Street and gay bars, Bubblicious has a very fancy, foreign beers menu now. They're quite expensive but worth it if you fancy an unusual beer. Only thing is some of them have very high percentages which caused me to hit my forehead off the bar the last time I was in there (sorry Paul the bar man!)

    I don't understand the grá for Mickey's that going on around here. I always find that place way too loud. Plus the don't have Beamish and their Smithwicks is often dodgy. Shame!

    I think the main reason Mickeys is so popular is that there is no sh!t in there everyone is taken at face value and the arthurs is generally good and with the new fire its cosy in there not forgeting the golf machine

    Nancy's: Great crowd atmosphere..good drink (front bar) plus the outback where smokers and non-smokers can mix..
    KOB's- Great drink..haven't been there in a while
    Pier one- Very short walk when I'm feeling lazy plus I can get a nice steak there...

    Great to see your comments pouring in. I'm currently building a Google Map of Limerick[1] using the brilliant MapBuilder[2] service. I've got about a dozen pub and hotels done so far. I'm not familiar with some of the ones mentioned here though so if you can name the streets they're on please, I'll add them too.

    My fave's would have to be

    McDaids (opposite St. Michael's Church or Left out of the main Entrance of Arthurs Quay) - though it does get really crowded after a while, It's good for a quiet drink durin the week, but if ya don't like loud music, they crank up the music round 9.30 at the weekends

    Mollys - Normally end up in the smoking area even though very few of my friends smoke, always buzzin, except last Friday, cos evry1 woz still at UCC rag week, or recoving their wallets after it. Middle floor is good 4 a dance, top floor is great relaxed area (when its open). But ya can never go straight to the bar after 9.30 on a saturday

    Cornmarket - I'm only just 19, so the crowd's a bit old by my usual standard, but in fairness, there is a good mix of ages in there, under 25s can be a bit marginalised though (not in terms of fairness - just feelin outta place after a while)

    Why oh why did they turn PJs into a Knock Shrine Shop. It's a massive loss, loved it in there, good fun, great crowd and never too packed.
