venue recommendations?

need a venue that holds around 100 people....im drawing a blank and just need a few ideas to get me thinking.fairly central and easily accessible (the odd few steps are fine) for a gran!

somewhere kind of different too would be cool..
thanks a million...

I would suggest the kilmurry lodge. you mention that the event is for your gran. I can assure you that the Kilmurry has zero steps, and if ye plan on staying there the night they have an elevator so she wouldn't have any difficulty.

It is not really central but if ye book a mini bus to take ye there and back you will find that it is well worth it.

LOL i shouldve made the post a bit clearer!! its a going away for myself and my boyfriend and his gran would feel awfully left out if she couldnt get to the party so its important that we can get her in

most of all it has to be somewhere that we like so the kilmurray isnt really our cup of tea.
thanks for the tip though!! much appreciated

sorry about that, i thought your gran might have been disabled due to old age or something.

Upstairs in Dolans can hold around 80 or so, pretty good spot, stairs could be problem.

The Locke have a function room, it's pretty much ground floor.

Jerry O Deas next to the jail have a lovely function room as does the Davin arms on the ennis road or the woodfield on the ennis road. Pretty sure Bentleys next to Teds has a upstairs room too
