    There's also the SinBin, Aubars and Costellos. There may not be a great choice, but there's more than one.
    And as bazz26 said, not everyone likes going to clubs. I much prefer the late bars.

    The Sinbin and Aubars and the late bars such as Nancy Blakes,Flannerys etc cater for the 'older' crowd which is pretty obvious when you walk into any of those spots which is fine. However most people in their 20's want the option of a decent nightclub to go to.

    They may cater for an older crowd, but they've got DJs and dance floors, therefore they're clubs not late bars.
    And if the demand was there for more nightclubs there would be more nightclubs.

    It's a pity really as it's a great looking venue, the nicest in the city!I think a lot of the 20 something year olds from Limerick have left the city due to the recession..employment etc and this figure will be even higher over the summer months.

    Nice venue but with an awful history.

    I reckon people went to the orchard a few times for nostalgia more than anything and only stayed for one or two.

    It should really do more money though considering how awful the staff in Icon are and how expensive angel lane is.

    Limerick nightclub venue set to reopen in July (Limerick Post)

    The refurbishment of the 14,000 sq ft nightclub will cost close to €1 million and will create 50 permanent jobs and a further 20 jobs during the re-fit phase which is currently well underway. The owners have been inundated with CVs for various roles at the club and are delighted with the level of interest.

    According to the owners, ‘Crush 87’ will provide a real ‘nightclub experience’, with some of the top DJs from around the world set to perform at the newly refurbished venue in the next 12 months.

    Only do it if you are beyond desperate. If anyone gets a call for an interview, I used to do the interviews for them so I know the questions and the answers.

    You don't really serve customers there. More like a conveyor belt of the same questions to each customer and trying to upsell and you get in trouble when you don't ask the same question. That's the till.

    When you are doing tables it is a never ending barrage of tables and cleaning tables and behin the counter busting your balls to go faster looking for spoons and stuff and telling you to clean tables.

    Coffee machine is an onslaught of coffees and moving fast and not making mistakes. Make a mistake or a bad coffee and you break the conveyor belt and you get in trouble.

    Calling the line is asking 5/6 customers their orders and dealing out the coffee to te machines and tills and making sure the till person has the right drinks an they are coming out ok. That's the hardest job and normally the best person/shift leader would do that. I generally did that.

    When it is queit, cleaning the most pointless stuff. Not allowed talk or chill out in the back when it is like that/ especially when busy.

    My own job was team leader/assistant manager. I reckon they will be hiring a team member which is above. If it is team leader I can tell ye what they will be looking for.

    But it really is a horrible job. They get upset about the most pointless things and take it far too personally.

    Obviously I can't tell tell you about the staff you work with but I obviously left for a reason.

    Any other questions?
