    It's called Dorsia now. Impossible to get a reservation there. There's a rumor you have to give the maitre d head to get in.

    The same people have owned since it was brimstone and have never really made it work. They also struggled with a restaurant up on Hartstonge Street and their Funky Donuts Shop.

    They’re clearly targeting an easy but trashy market now to get a few quid.

    Anyone know why The Glass House failed when it was there? I haven't been there since it closed but that was a lovely spot for dinner & a few drinks.

    I bet Paul Allen could get a reservation there on a Friday night.

    Trashy is being kind of the crowd there the last few weeks
    And I see Limerick City Hotel is now a homeless hub and the Mcgettians bar part is advising book dinner for a DJ
    Imagine walking into those two places as visitor to Limerick

    I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine.

    ln the morning, if my face is a little pufffy, I'll put on an icepack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now!

    Check out the management responses to some of the most recent 1 star reviews on trip advisor.... hard to believe they actually responded like this ...

    Wow, great responses, also the positives are all newish reviewers always a warning sign to me on tripadvisor if you're new member with very few reviews its usually not genuine

    Wow the reviews are fairly bad and the responses are disgraceful. I see Audi in Limerick had up that the owner of Skyline Bar was picking up his brand new S Line Audi A5. I was wondering where Skyline Bar was when j saw the picture. Looking at the reviews and the pictures of the food thrown out you'd have to wonder what's going on there.

    I'm shocked Audi Limerick would want to be associated with the Skyline bar.Its well known they are serving serious scumbags in there since reopening also not following rules.Just walk past and you will see how bad it is.Who is the owner?

    Just checked it there and it doesn't say specifically that he is the owner. But if you are buying a car like that you must be fairly high up in there. Usman Zaheer.

    I see a lot of the Skyline main courses are €9, very convenient. I would imagine food is secondary then to the beers.

    Cannot believe the responses to the Tripadvisor reviews, I certainly won't be going there.

    Previous owner (Brimstone) was Keith.
    He had a few others involved (and himself) when it was Establishment.

    He’s no longer involved.

    Think it kept the name establishment (not sure of it still does grub), though I've heard it referred to as Skyline Shisha Bar.... no idea who's running it. Have seen a fair few videos of late with 'young wans' thumping the heads off each other in there... LOL
