For a bunch of girls looking a bit of craic and to let the hair down stick to the main spots as mentioned.

Smyths
Nancys
Flannerys
Icon
Trinity Rooms
Angel Lane
Bailey
Charlies
Claws

For a bunch of twenty something year old girls; they probably are the spots but it does a say a lot about the lack of choice in Limerick. Only one pub (club) there I'd actually want to drink in.

Its a dingy dank hole with horrid pints. Its was rubbish when it was the thirsty scholar and a name change didn't change that fact.

They are terrible pubs. Not proper pubs at all. Awful drink and terrible music

Yeah those types of pubs are prevalent all over Ireland. The point I was making is that the pubs themselves aren't great pubs

I see that flew right over your head.

I get what you are attempting to say about load pubs blaring out modern plop music, but they are everywhere because people obviously like that kind of thing.

I am guessing you are one of those so and you wouldn't understand a proper Limerick pub that has the character of the city.

Magners is actually a grand pub; small dingy and has a regular who looks like Elvis. Great pub but DEFINITELY not one for twenty something year old girls.

All I am doing is directing them to the real pubs in the city. Thats where the character and culture of the city is. Not in a pub that blares Lady Gaga and people are off their eads on smirnof ice and shots.

whats a "real pub"?? i see what you are getting at and i personally would prefer the pubs you are advocating, however to totally disregard other pubs that other people are suggesting as might be worth a visit is both condescending and rude i think.

No way, where else would you get poetry and an elvis lookalike. She's nailed on for Limerick.

No need to take this too seriously. Not the Politics forums we're on!

:rolleyes:

If you read my post I said some of the pubs weren't places I would frequent myself but that they would most likely meet the needs of the OP.
I also said the pubs you mentioned were very good pubs, but unsuitable for what was asked.

Hey OP.

I take it from your username that your from Dublin, which places in dublin do yourself and your friends like. It will make it alot easier to recommend places in Limerick which are similar, much easier than reading through the constant arguments in this thread.

mormank

tis firmly in my pants.if it wasnt i would not be typing i can assure you!

Hey lads, thanks for all the advice. I've a serious list of pubs to be considering now. Galway was the chosen location last year so we're now waitin to see if limerick can live up to its standards. Suoopose a mix of both type of pubs wud be required for a proper pub crawl so will be taking all advice into account.
Thanks again

It wasn't an arguement. I was right and some people just can't accept that.

Avoid Bitter End unless you are a scobe and as previously posted in the 17-20 age group
