Great, married men have some place to go with their secretaries again.

The hairy chest, gold medallion, tan line on the wedding ring finger nights are back.

Seriously though, that place was ok especially when you were locked.

Thank god and about time somewhere to escape the 17 year old drunken eejits which populate the other clubs in this city. Except Costellos which rocks

radioman

Costelloes is definitely the best club in town, don't tell anybody though!

Teds was always okay but it was grab a granny some nights in there. It had asshole bouncers too, but then again doesn't everywhere. Pity the sports bar isn't back that was great on a Saturday afternoon for football.

Well did anyone check this place out over the weekend?

Are the same old Ted heads there or are they after a more younger crowd?

Haket

Not yet, all the Teds crowd headed to The Bank upstairs (went once, oh good jeebus, never again). Teds used to be a laugh, once you ignored the leery old men :-)

They havent even changed the carpets
Recognised one of the barmen aswell
****ing timewarp

Teds has closed and reopened everytime the owner goes bankrupt.
I wouldnt be surprised if its the same owner again.

keevita

id go check it out, but im the wrong side of 40...being all of 21 years of age. anyway, i think we should be glad that there is a place for people of all ages in limerick.

Is the 'Ted' still around ? ...... or alive ? ..... I remember seeing him there now and then some years ago (when I was 5'ish!!!!) ..... one night I tipped the Piano Player a bundle to keep playing 'My Lagan Love' and drove everyone nuts ..... I was a bit of a wild child I guess :cool:

Was there Saturday nite of Sweet Mother of Jesus. Would a tin of paint gone astray i mean the place was mank and they got rid of the couch area up the front and dont even get me started about the smoking yard up the back stairs. I take back my previous comment except the piece about costellos

styer

Hadn't heard that, it's possible though. There's a very big ranch belonging to him AFAIK on the back roads between Newport and Nenagh.
