Any recommended places to buy beer in Limerick?

Bunnyhopper

I've been spending some time in the city lately (and discovering that it's not as bad as people say ) and I'm wondering, can anyone recommend a good place (off-licence) to buy beer in Limerick?

I'm looking for somewhere that goes a bit beyond the usual range that you'd expect to find in any decent Dunnes - somewhere more like Redmonds in Ranelagh, or The Vineyard in Belfast.

There seems to be a lot of places that sell the same old stuff, plus a few Polish labels, but nothing with a decent range of ales.

Any suggestions?

Hmm there is a good place on the dock road isnt there? Its like a huge off licence, never been in there but i've droven past it a few times, can someone else clarify?

Mac's on the Ennis Road have a great selection with a lot of stuff I haven't seen elsewhere. The boss there knows his stuff too - and to quote the man - 'Life's too short to drink sh't beer'

He's a legend that guy, he takes selling his beer so seriously. Fair play to him though.
Even Cider, he loves to discuss the different types available and will even tell you what he likes to sup on

Use Coasters next to Donkeys a bit good selection of foreign beers.

THe vinyard down next to dominos in mount kenneth saw me a lot when i lived down there.

But hard to beat Dunnes for the slab of miller or stella and the 2 for 15 or 3 for 20 on the vino

Place on the dock road is called coopers but have found that it is as expensive for beer as anywhere else.

Good range of beers and wines at the new fines wines next to the quality hotel. Plus dead cheap minerals slab of cans of coke for a tenner

New Carry out on hyde road not to shabby either.

Would second Macs on the Ennis rd.Guy there actually knows what he is talking about in beers.Unlike most of the other lot ,if you ask them for somthing different you get a look like you have grown another head.:rolleyes:

And it's not just the manager and owner, most of the guys ther have tried all the stuff too....including that St. Nicholas Austrian beer (14% vol. and tastes like bad chocolate)...well I didn't like it, I'll have to build up a taste before next Christmas

Thanks for all the suggestions. I had a look in Mac's on the Ennis Road and you were right about the range etc. I'd definitely recommend it.

I haven't tried any of the other places. Yet

And if you like Guinness then do yourself a favour and try some Old Peculier, available in bottles from Mac's. Yum.

Thanks again.

Where along the Ennis road is Mac's? Close to any other shops? I'm a bit unfamiliar with that side of town.

Macs is a rip off.

Next to Mace, (petrol station) just passed the Union Cross, with the Holy Rosary Church on the other side of it
