Go on a food crawl
Limerick has a fantastic array of restaurants and cafes. So why not try a load of them in the space of a few hours?
It’s like a pub crawl, but instead of heading from pub to pub for pints, you head to different spots for food and try a variety of cuisines in the one night.

Do an escape room
Honestly, this is one of the most fun things you can do with your mates.
Basically, you all have to work together to find clues and solve puzzles in order to figure out how to escape the room.
There are a few spots around Limerick you can have a whack at an escape room, including, Asyl Room on Cecil Street and Escape Limerick on Nicholas Street.
