Lads this thread is so depressing to read .... is it just getting worse so?

I thought it would be an interesting exercise to compile a headcount on businesses that have opened since the recession has taken a grip of the City.

Owned by the same fella who ran Xtreme Karting in Moneygall. Sound chap. Karts are very fast, good set up too. Official opening is Friday (I think), couple of mates had the first night of a go karting league there this week.

Good location, right in between Charlie's/Bailey/Icon/Angel Lane/Molly's/Trooms etc. Should do well if it's promoted right.

Container ship all the way home. Sleeping in a hammock on the deck. Always keeping one eye open for a sneaky crew member looking to "court" you.

Going under the same name of the last cafe there, Aroma. Same sign above the door and same "celtic tiger era" rip off prices too. E3.50 for a hot chocolate in there! :eek: I can go across the road to French's Cafe and get the same size for E2.50.

E2.90 gets you a great hot chocolate in the moody cow - they melt a full bar of choc (whichever one you choose) and they also give you marshmallows, cream and a flake on top. My favourite is Terry's choc orange!!

new restaurant, Franklyns, opened in the crescent, near McCabes. Not tried it yet, but heard that its really nice and is cheaper than centrepeice was:D
Also out there is a small toy? shop next to Quigleys, think is linked to the Crescent bookshop.

Was there the other day, I felt like one of the kids in Willie Wonka waiting on the candyman!! The sweets are amazing and I believe the milk teeth are on order woo hoo!! :P

L.T.P.

Was in the new sweet shop but thought it was very expensive, I can't see it lasting after the novelty wears off though.

Give em a chance, lets not write off they're chances before they get off the ground!

A new bar called Leddin's has opened where Kennedy O'Briens on Lower Hartstonge Street. Didn't get to go inside but spotted it last night driving past.

Berty

They actually managed to sell Kennedy O'Briens. I gave up hope of that happening years ago. Fair play.

Cherrycoke

New kebab shop opening where O'Briens was on William St.

Why does Limerick need so many kebab shops?

AnCapaillMor

I reckon its a polish thing, although it makes no sense as most of them got smart and went elsewhere. Was in poland there last year and there's kebab shops all over the place. We went down this massive street and there was at least 20 of them.

There's another one opening on Denmark street just beside The Old Quarter Hotel. Woody had his Eden Park shop there for a while and there was a few ladies clothes shops there on and off as well. Be handy for those leaving Nancy's and D'Icon at night.

Had a look in the window there yesterday, seemed pricey enough
