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.

Google says 36 O'Connell St which seems to be around the Wokking area, opposite Findlater, is there an empty unit there?

There is, between WokKing and Taikichi. It's had hording up for months.

CosmicFool

There is actaully a unit next to Taikichi that's been vacant for quite a while.

You have to admire these people opening up in the middle of a pandemic. Similar kudos to Lockeburger

I hope Doh pizza is a proper stonebaked place and not another kebab shop

Mc Love

It probably is a kebab shop

CosmicFool

Found their insta. Seems like it's going to be a legit pizza place and not a kebab shop

Hopefully they do pizza by the slice which for some reason has never taken off or been tried here...

I knew I wasn't imagining things, assuming they don't do pizza by the slice anymore?

How times have changed anytime before this year when I saw DOH I would immediately think of Homer Simpson, this morning I was reading it thinking why is the Department of Health being delayed to open.

Best of luck to them some of the best business are set up during unprecedented times

Locke burger advertising on their Instagram stories that they are opening another place in Castletroy which is currently being renovated! Don’t know the location yet. They will also have a cocktail menu..

Anyone hear about a new coffee place open on Catherine St.? I just saw something on social media about a business called Fika Coffee, just wondering what unit they've gone into. Unusual time to open, but hope they do well.

In next to Fine Wines on Catherine Street in the old Joe O Mara unit. Very in the old rift vide tbh. Good coffee with 3 beans on the go.

In fairness a coffee shop on Catherine St. is about the only viable business in town at the moment

La Bamba

Not an opening but noticed there was a good bit of work being done in the Groody Centre while I was in Subway yesterday.
Looks like they have knocked through all those empty units between 4 star pizza and kebab corner and combined them into 1.
Would probably be a good spot for some form of convenience store- big population on the Groody Road along with the School in the works

Popped in today. Very much in the rift/habit style of coffee shop. Its a nice little spot and I'm sure they will do just as good or bad as the others round there especially if they ever extended the pedestrianised area up a block.

If you were to walk from rift to Paparazzi along Catherine St. You would pass an amazing amount of good coffee shops for one area. It's a seriously high concentration of quality cafes

Raw Cycles are expanding their shop and workshop into the space where their indoor skate park used to be.

Good to see them doing well tbh

Called in yesterday like that they are also selling the 3 coffees on bags. Cloud picker you can get in Duo but west cork roasters and bean in Dingle are excellent coffee suppliers

dominatinMC

Another +1 for Fika Coffee.
Called in this evening, and very impressed with the place. They've done a great job on the unit, and have a nice range of coffees. Will be calling back. Also, as another poster alluded to, between this, Rift, Canteen, Habit all within walking distance of each other, we are spoilt for choice when it comes to coffee. Not to mention Abbey River Coffee and The Green Onion further down town.

Popped into Fika myself yesterday for a brew and had a chat was very impressed, agree with ye lads... our little city center really has some great coffee spots. We really are spoilt.

Across the board Limerick is lagging way behind on the manufacture of the various craft and artisan products which are popular at the moment.

There was a fella doing coffee about 15 years ago but was far too ahead of his time to survive
