Limerick City

About the restaurant

Owing to the success of the Cornstore Wine Bar & Restaurant Cork, a sister restaurant was opened in Limerick in November 2008, situated on the newly refurbished and pedestrianised street, Thomas Street.

The concepts boasts 3 floors offering a lively, buzzy, Manhattan style surrounding, including private dining and contemporary heated smoking area. The interior is mirrored to match the stylish elegance of its sister restaurant in Cork with intricate floor tiling, pewter style bar, cosy booths and intimate lighting.

Like Cork, the menu consists of premium steaks and quality seafood, an extensive drinks list with cocktails, new world beers and a vast wine list.
Both Cornstore buildings were selected because of their historic presence and the belief that the old and new can be successfully combined to create an old style feel with a modern ambiance.

Clonmel

About the restaurant

At Bodega 1830 we wanted to create an authentic yet modern tapas experience that would not feel out of place if it were on a busy street in Madrid or Barcelona. Coupled with the very best wine selection, we hope that when you walk through the door that you leave the busy Clonmel streets behind for a delicious and delectable taste of Spain.
