Don't know if it's been said already, but been trying to call the docklands restaurant in steamboat quay for the last week, no answer and the place has been closed and lights off every time I've drove past.
Looks like another one gone.
i've been holding out on posting this one myself for the last couple of weeks in the hope that it'd reopen but alas no...
about two months ago i was talking to the head waitress in there and she told me the two chefs had taken it over as the owner had pulled out, she said she didn't know how long they could last (as the meat was originally sourced from the owner's family farm back in tipperary), but then two weeks later, they seemed to be closed down for good, and there on saturday the original owner was moving furniture out into a white van.
it's an awful pity as i was a regular customer in there and the food was top quality. it just never seemed to take off though like the french table down from it, most nights they were fairly empty whereas to have made any money they would have had to turn over two full services every night.
it was an awful stumbling block too that they couldn't take cards, or even make some sort of an arrangement with the clarion (i know the heritage hotel in portlaoise has a dinner deal with the foundry steakhouse), that would have brought in the tourist trade at least instead of them all heading uptown for dinner (the clarion has a thai restaurant).
its a shame because he must only be there less than a year and i remember passing by the place every day when i used be going to and from work when he was setting it up and he must have poured a fortune into the place, as well as doing a lot of the work himself, like laying the floors, etc.
i cant see another restaurant going in there now tbh, because he took over where the indian closed down, if schooners was still there and they ripped that godawful skateboard park out of the ground, there might have been some hope of steamboat quay becoming a lively quarter of limerick city, but thats a discussion for another thread... 0 -

well i have to be honest BB i know fannyadams about fitting out a shop or the costs, i know he kept the seats alright from when it was the indian but that flooring couldn't have been cheap? i think you were involved in the SPAR renovation that time aswel, i remember you were saying something about the ceiling work? well he's only gone and put seats back inside again now, so its an even more uncomfortable squeezethrough between the deli and the tables!Beer Baron wrote: »It wasn't the location either. Other restaurants had failed in better locations. One major negative was the clamping. Numerous customers of his were clamped whilst inside having dinner. If you were clamped, rightly or wrongly, would you recommend it to anybody?
absolutely true, the clampers down here are viscious, often meet him out on patrol, totally agree with you there, but i thought Docklands validated parking? i dunno, never had to use it, but myself im always conscious when i have customers dropping stuff off to not keep them too long and remind them before they call that clamping is VERY MUCH in operation! at least that's one business that seems to be doing well! 0 -

i checked this BB as i was passing by the restaurant this morning- if they missed the A4 page sized notice in the entrance door that says "FREE PARKING FOR ALL OUR CUSTOMERS", then they deserved to get clamped! (never thought i'd hear myself saying that!), but seriously- specsavers!

The problem was the restaurant in the early days were giving out compliment slips with the clampers company details on it for their dashboards. The clampers clamped them anyway and said "that's not a ticket". :pac:0 -

Topshop in the Crescent is closing down pretty soon. Their lease is up apparently.
I'm in university in Cork and I have to admit, when I visit home, it genuinely makes me so sad and angry to see the state of the city and the amount of boarded up storefronts. All that's taking their place are discount stores and pop up shops. The difference between Limerick, a city that has so much potential culturally and Cork is phenomenal. I'm graduating next year and couldn't see myself moving home for a long time. Not even just because of the lack of jobs there, but the atmosphere in the city. It seems so... defeated.. 0 -

Uhh, I completely agree. It's so bad here compared to any other city in Ireland. There's no bustle at all.0 -

At least it looked gone, shutters down mid-day and "To Let" sign on the wall.
