sporina

Heading to a show in The Lime Tree theatre Thurs night - staying in The Clayton..

wanna go to Dolan's for a drink after the show for sure..

but where to go for dinner? thinking Bobby Byrne's?

any recommendations for a nice b'fast Fri am? booked room only in the hotel..

any recommendations for whats not to be missed in Limerick while we are there?

We love arts and culture.. TIA..

Bobby Byrne's would be the last place I'd go for an evening meal.

The Cornstore, Freddy's, The Spitjack, Hamptons or treat yourself and go to The French Table.

I like Cafe Rose on Roches St or Story on Denmark St for breakfast

Touristy stuff, check out the Hunt Museum, St Mary's Cathedral & King John's Castle

There's a new exhibition at the Hunt museum that my college aged son said was great.

For dinner close to the Clayton, maybe mcgettigans in Jury's Inn? It's a couple of hundred meters away. For Breakfast, maybe House on the Quays? Or even Bobby Burns for that one

If you're going to be in Dolans, then you can eat there. Their food is pretty good.

would it be noisy there in the restaurant? hate eating in noisy environments.. I see they have what looks like a metal band playing tomorrow night - never been so don't know the set up

The Metal gig is in the Kasbah which is an adjacent bar so won't interfere with your eating experience. If you're eating in Dolans before the Limetree it will be fairly quiet.
