Food there is OK. It strikes me as a place you go to be seen or to check in on instagram rather than somewhere you go for good food.

i like the tapa's in the Buttery in the evening. and like their DJ's that bring a cool ambience to the place. very different to what other restaurants do. Their lunch/brunch menu is only ok tho but there are far worse. If Marco Polo can get a 4.3 / 5 rating then that sums up Limerick eateries and peoples opinion of what good food should be!!

On the opening of the unit beside it, its great to see.

I also think the old Permanent TSB buidling on Sarsfield street will be highly sought after now that UL have purchased Dunnes stores. Amazed its still vacant

How so? Always found them to be good, with a nice buzz.

Can you imagine being stranded on a desert island with the type of person that checks into instagram or Facebook when they go for something to eat!

I stopped going there because you have to pay extra for coffee when you order an Irish breakfast. Works out at 12.50 or 12.95. That's just nonsense imo. The breakfast is hardly amazing either.

A friend had that unit at one point and had awful issues with the sewage system, hope it works out better for whoever has it now.

I remember Azur restaurant putting a lot of money into the downstairs seating area but the smell was overpowering - they tried to hide it with scented candles

if you think that's bad, the place across from the hunt museum charged me 7 euro for coffee (one cup Americano and a refill) on top of 11 euro for a full Irish. I decided I was not going to town for breakfast at all after that. The only reason I had a second cup is because the place was freezing cold and so was my coffee by the time the breakfast was out.

Anyone been to the new Philipino deli yet?

Looking at social media it looks like Treaty City are hoping to have their new brewery on Nicholas St open for visitors in May.

Are they going brewing they full time or is it a downsized version?
Also will it be a pub?

It's a visitor center with a micro brewery I imagine it will have some sort of bar

The new “visitor center” laws which are designed to promote micro breweries/distilleries stipulate that the bar cant serve after 6pm. If they want to stay open in the evenings they will need to open as a licensed premises, which may be too costly.

If they close at 6, maybe they could have Katie Daly’s sell Treaty stuff after 6? They may already have a plan like that in place for all we know.

Apparently M&S have identified the location that they are opening in Limerick.... near Arthur’s Quay &#55358;&#56611;

Could the old PTSB unit and the empty liddy street units be redevoleped or is that site too small?

It depends. I guess you'd have to have visited smaller M&S stores to get a perspective. Example would be the size of the store in Douglas in Cork. If they put size in Limerick then it would be quite disappointing considering that when they were poised to take the second/third Anchor store in the Parkway valley it was to be their flagship Irish store.

Smaller than Clonmel or Galway store is bad, similar to Cork city or Liffey Valley would be preferable.

Limerick Leader can stir it up all they want, let's read something concrete instead.

It's funny. The Limerick Leader Facebook page had almost 500 comments and infinitely more likes/views for this particular article about M&S. The M&S saga definitely drums up conversation and participation like no other retail rumour/announcement either here on Boards and elsewhere. The cynic in me wonders does the Leader deliberately do this as part of free advertising/promotion/awareness of it's paper strategy by drip feeding these unsubstantiated, lacking concrete evidence type tit bits every few months to get people visiting their site/page etc?

Interestingly, the vast majority of the comments on FB were in the vein of "how many times have we heard this?" The paper is doing more damage to it's integrity as a factual source if it keeps peddling such articles that amount to actually nothing in real life.

Sure M&S is too upmarket for the place! ;-)

I’d say if a local tradesman was chatting in the pub about where it could go, the leader would sell it as “Limerick Developer offers solution to bring M&S to the city”

The excitement is clearly palpable considering you said it twice , but is this not a Limerick Business opening thread?

Well Supermacs are a Galway business, I don't reckon there are too many posts in the Galway forums about Pet opening a chipper in Clonmel.
