Stag do in Limerick - Suggestions and Accommodation?

Paddy McGinty

Pal of mine from Birmingham with Limerick roots wants to spend a couple of nights there early in March.

He's of an age where he ought to have more sense then to get wed again (40+) so I'd guess a handful of half decent pub suggestions would be a great place to start.

Also appreciate any suggestions on any recommended B&B/guesthouses suitable for maybe 12-20 room-sharing guests.

Thanks in anticipation ;o)

I think Bourkes bar on Catherine street is a great pub, The Blind pig is another of my regulars quite like the place and other than that I like Mickey martins, all pubs are within 1 minute of each other too !

As for accommodation id reckon Jurys Inn would be the cheapest

The Blind Pig is a "cultural hub" so you'll be able to have pints and take advantage of the "cultural installations" while there.

Actually no... it's just a pub.

Lol stopped going there actually a few months ago, got the feeling it was an exclusive thing for an exclusive group ! But they do a nice pint

Have a look at here for accommodation. Bang snack in the middle of town.

There's also the old jury's which is now The limerick city centre hotel I think.

You could try the crafty fox as a bar to start off. They do craft beers and would only be delighted to give you a tasting session.

The red hen is also a decent place for a drink. Nancy Blake's is also one of limericks most frequented bars. Smyths across the road has a nightclub called Icon. Actually any bar in the Market square will be busy on a weekend.

I used to go there the whole time. Great times were had down in the basement for metal gigs. Then they closed that and it became infested with hipster types. Could be different now but I'm in New Zealand so can't check...

Check.:)

The national karting centre is worth experiencing during the day. Great fun out in Corbally. Unigolf in Castletoy to pass away an hour or two.


Usual pub crawl suggestions in town(think there should be a sticky on this):

Tom Collins, Jerry Flannery's, Bourkes, Mickey Martins, Paddy Frawleys, Phil Flannery's, Cobblestone Joes. Nancy Blakes is the only late bar guaranteed to have a crowd every night.


Further out in O' Connell Avenue there is a rake of quiet pubs:

Souths, 0'Dwyer's, Bobby Byrne's, Fenessys, Glen Tavern, The Windmill(upstairs pool), Sextons.

Paintballing. I think they will organise a bus from Limerick out to the place as well.

Many thanks to all.. really helpful.

Limerick bloke from my local recommended the following...

Nancy Blakes
Timmy Martins
The Glen Tavern
The Bank
The Square
Dolan's
Billy Fitz's
Kinsella's
Bill Bourkes

I think if we have 3 or 4 pints in each one mentioned in this thread then come Monday morning I'll be well able to $hit through the eye of a needle
