    Want to go to limerick city with herself on a saturday and stay overnight.

    Looking at the Absolute hotel and the Clarion...any preferences (pery square a bit expensive!!)

    Want to be within walking distance of restaurants and bars on a saturday night....so...any nice restaurants? We're both nearly 40 so a nice restaurant and a quieter bar woud be nice.

    What is a nice way to spend a saturday in Limerick?

    Thank you.

    Stay in the Absolute (VERY close to town), wander up to the Market (if you get to Limerick early), hit the Hunt Museum... lots of quiet pubs around later, dinner in Azur (near Absolute), Hamptons, Chocolat or Brimstone (close to Clarion if you stay there) and catch the Munster Match at 6.30 (if tomorrow) in your pub of choice.

    Pubs to avoid IF you want a quiet night - Nancys and Tom Collins (busy), Smyths/Icon (younger and full) and Mickey Martins. Though - they are all great bars.

    Maybe Flannerys or Myles Breens on Shannon St? Close to Hamptons and Chocolat. Or Jerry Flannerys or Clohessys for the match (munster/6 nations weekend) and a pint?

    Take a stroll around UL campus for an hour if ye have the car before ye leave.

    Enjoy

    If you intend walking back to your hotel after a night out I'd stay in the Clarion, Strand, George, Savoy before the Absolute, other than that The Absolute is fine, parking there is a bit of an issue.

    Pubs - Myles Breens or Flannery's on Shannon St, The Locke on George's Quay, Currogower bar across the river on Clancy Strand.

    Restaurants - Azur near the Locke, Freddie's off Lrw Glenthworth St, Cornstore on Thomas St, Chocolat on O'Connell St.

    Visit the Hunt Museum, King John's Castle, check Limetree Theatre or UCH for events, Milk market on Saturday mornings.
