Fodor's Expert Review JJ Bowles Pub
Limerick City
Supposedly the oldest inn in town---it has served ale to locals from its low-ceiling quarters in a narrow slip lane by the west end of Thomond Bridge since 1794 (the building dates back over a hundred years earlier). JJ Bowles offers wonderful views from its riverside beer garden. It has a good reputation for the quality of its Guinness, making it a good stop on a chilly day if you can find a seat by the warm glow from its fireplace. And, being midway between the city center and Thomond Park Stadium, expect lively crowds during rugby season.
