Bobby Byrnes

About

Bobby’s, located on 3 O'Connell Avenue in the heart of Limerick, has been a beloved cornerstone of the city’s culinary scene since 1963. What began as a traditional Irish neighbourhood pub has evolved into a bustling gastropub that prides itself on hearty, homestyle dishes and an extensive selection of drinks – from local craft beers to fine wines and a full cocktail menu. The welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and a menu that caters to everyone – from casual lunchers and families to beer enthusiasts and food connoisseurs – make Bobby’s a must‑visit for both locals and travelers. Beyond the main dining area, Bobby’s features the “Bath Club,” a relaxed cocktail garden where patrons can unwind with live music or until the early hours of the morning. On Wednesdays to Saturdays, the carvery is open for a midday spread of prime meats and sides, while the kids' menu provides wholesome options for younger guests. The venue also offers a food hall, perfect for takeaway breakfast, lunch, and homemade desserts, and is open until 7 p.m. on weekdays. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick pint, a leisurely Sunday brunch, or a memorable night out, Bobby’s guarantees a laid‑back experience, a rotating menu of seasonal specials, and authentic Irish hospitality. Reservations are recommended for dinner and large groups, though tables for up to seven can be secured on a first‑come, first‑served basis. The venue’s commitment to community extends beyond food and drink; from support of local rugby teams to hosting live music sessions, Bobby’s has remained a vital social hub in Limerick for over six decades. A visit promises good food, great company, and a taste of the city’s vibrant culture.
