Limerick needs a .......

Liam79

any suggestions?

Personally I think we could badly do with a City Centre Cinema, A proper sports bar, proper one now, and a decent, pay as you use, safe to park in Municipal Swimming Pool. Not UL, i am talking City Centre here

Like the one in Cork down the quays, Franciscan something or other. Class.
Or the Porterhouse ones in Dublin, excellent.

Franziskaner. Excellent beer:)

The Porterhouse is great. I love the strong Brain Blasta ale in there, it'll blow yer head off:eek:

We could definately do with a pub in Limerick that does international and obscure local beers. You'd really get sick of drinking the same mainstream crap all the time.

Indeed, the Franciscan well- home to rebel red, shandon stout, boh pils etc.
Seems the limerick tipplers in general are content with drinking tasteless p*ss

Some good suggestions here, and mine will repeat some of them.


A city centre cinema

A new Quins

A new Javas

A good range of retail outlets to make a proper shopping area.

A bowling alley without scumbags

A new music venue/club, maybe something like the Royal when it had Boogie Wonderland.

A small cinema that did nothing other than show older films, say from the 1940's to the 1990's, so you could catch films on the big screen that you are too young to have seen that way the first time round.

Either revamp the belltable a little or get a second quality town centre theatre venue.

More street theatre/street musicians etc.

Get the guys who did the grafitti art on the Dock Road to brighten up run down spots or to do art in the windows of closed businesses.

Some kind of financial aid for Limerick FC to allow them to get their own ground and promote them heavily to get the ground rocking for games.

Better lighting on O' Connell Street, maybe something similar to how the main street in Cork is lit, as it would make the street look far better if it were better lit.

Move the Richard Harris statue to a better location. Maybe put it on the roundabout by Shannon Bridge.

More walking tours like the ones that were going from Brown Thomas, but maybe add a few extra locations to the walks, plus tie in local businesses to the more touristy walks.

A visible Garda presence on the streets day and night, especially footpatrols.
Surely four gardai per shift could be spared to do a footpatrol on O Connell Street, with a pair walking each side of the street in the opposite direction to the pair on the other side of the street.

zuroph

...good hard kick up the arse.

wylo

a range of genuine quality bars and cafes

Smart all the way

BREWPUB what more need i say:cool:

Soulcrew09

A Judo and Sambo wrestling club.

Politicians who show as much interest in Limerick FC after they have been elected than they did before one (Mr M Quinlivan take a bow)

Oh and feck out all those people who have nothing nice to say about Limerick even though they use the place for education on all levels, jobs, hospitals ect....

steveon

what we need is all the stupid new bus lanes to be converted into proper inbound lanes for traffic...which in turn will reduce the congestion and therefore not only will busses benefit but every1...

grenache

A metro system.

iora_rua

A very large M&S somewhere/anywhere ...

bluemachaveli

a Batman! Failing that an Apple Store!

Last things Limerick needs are more pubs, coffee shops and retail stores.

Limerick needs:

To put more effort into sports other than munster rugby
To stop whinging about "scumbags"
To get back that community spirit we lost sometime during the 90's
Proper FREE sporting facilities (basketball, all weather soccer, a skatepark with a roof (so it can be used for more than 2 weeks of the year))
Less one-ways
Less dodgy politicans
A park in Raheen (on the way i know but lets see when, the sign says "work starts 2009" i think it meant to say 2019)
Less taxi's
To get those out of use cranes by tk maxx to be taken down
To kiss the opera centre goodbye

That would be a better and cheaper alternative to a metro system, given Limerick's size.

If the Gardaí are on the streets 24/7, who's going to be left in the station to answer calls? :pac:

fl4pj4ck

both of them?

I believe the city needs a good beer pub.
Instead of spending big money on the decor start investing in a big range of international beers like in the Porter House,Dublin or Rotterdam in Belfast.
Possibly a brew pub, but im not sure would a conservative town like Limerick embrace it......

A better traffic system when there is a match on!

There could be a match on in Thomond Park at 5pm and the city is jam packed with cars from early in the morning to late in the night...completely unnecessary!

Now now, its a plant not a drug. Think of it as the opposite of coffee.

lol good way to think of it..


I think Limerick could use a super laid back coffee shop...like was suggested in this thread or another.
Kinda like the one that Starbucks stole the idea from..lol.
Big couches..good lighting...fabulous music...games for the people that wanna hang out (chess, etc).. cool owners..as long as the coffee was somewhat decent...i would go there and possibly never leave
