    All depends what you're into,this has been discussed to death in here and always end up in arguments.

    One quick search,there's plenty of other threads there somewhere.
    Should be stickied at this stage.

    pubs wise, if your into the irish music dolans is good fun with trad secessions. a more modern vibe would be smyths, live bands always play there..if its cocktails u like then the old quarter or charlies are good, i was in cornmarket a few weeks back and really enjoyed it, nice atmosphere and do great miller. also micky martins on thomas st is a good alternative, wacky glasses and different beer is always a nice change!

    clubs theres trinity rooms, more of a younger crowd but deffinately worth a visit if u havnt been, icon is good crack beside smyths but be aware of tuesday nights, place is dangerously full and can get a bit clostraphobic!
    theres also mollys which is a disco bar and can be quite good if u dont plan on spending money on a club
    my personal favourite is angel lane, its the newest club in limerick and has loads of different floors and smoking areas!

    The market without the carpet, It's actually not a bad club was in there a small while back with the lads, had a great night. Like every place it depends on who you're out with and whether they're up for a laugh.

    I heard it being called Anal Pain.:D (it's not a gay club before you ask)

    It's a very swanky layout. Three floors, nice smoking area with a bar up top. All in all it is a nice club. Same kind of crowd that would be going into the Icon and Smiths.

    It's not really my scene, I'm more into the alternative places like The Wicked Chicken and Dolan's Warehouse. Give me a smellier dirtier club where there is great music, a sound crowd and you are not interrogated by a bouncer going in.

    This refers to an old legend about the place. It's rumoured that an angel of god visited the place in the middle of the night while the place was still the market WITH the carpet. her heavenly hoof became stuck to the gooey carpet at the top of the stairs and she proceeded to tumble down the stairs with such a clatter, leaving her permanently injured in one leg.
    and thus, Angel Lame was born. When the sign-writers arrived, they misread the instructions, and spelled it "angel lane". There being a recession meant they could not afford to change the sign, and since then it has remained.

    Nowhere has really opened up in Limerick since the last few threads, apart from Cocoon. Its a gay bar, might not be for you, or might be right up your alley. Excuse the pun.

    to be honest op you would need to say what type of scene you like when your out cos theres loads of different places for different types of people..oh and every club has nick names in Limerick! so dont be put off by them!

    as a limerickman i have to say sample the different clubs around, theres not any one that is absolute crap, all of them have their uniqueness to them,

    angel lane associated with people being lost in the endless amount of rooms

    icon associated with good 80/90s music in the downstairs floor

    trinity rooms associated with good high quality djs

    the sin bin associated with the older crowd

    the lodge associated with ul people!

    here are a few of the clubs websites so you get an idea on what they look like, if u need to know about different types of pubs just ask!
