Shock as popular nightspot where Limerick hurlers toasted All-Ireland closes down
House Limerick in the city centre entered receivership last December
IT has been confirmed that a well-known Limerick bar and nightclub is to close, resulting in the loss of around 60 jobs.
House Limerick, located at Howley’s Quay in the city centre entered receivership last December. The Limerick hurlers chose to celebrate their major All-Ireland success at the venue last month.
A spokesperson for receivers Interpath confirmed the news, saying:
"Following an extended period during which all available options were explored to secure the future of House Limerick, the business will cease trading.
“The joint receivers have overseen the business while efforts were made to identify a sustainable long-term solution. Unfortunately, despite those efforts, the business remained loss-making and could not continue operating in its current form.
“A purchaser has been secured for the business and a sale contract has been signed.
“We recognise that this is difficult and disappointing news for employees and for all those connected with the business. The joint receivers’ immediate focus is on engaging directly with employees through the statutory consultation process and ensuring that appropriate supports are made available. We would like to thank employees, customers and stakeholders for their support throughout this period."
London-based Tribeca Holdings, owned by Limerick man Aidan Brooks, has purchased the building. Tribeca already owns the remainder of the building. It is understood that Tribeca Holdings is considering redevelopment options for the property following completion of the transaction.
Interpath was appointed as the Joint Receivers on December 2, 2025 and have overseen the business while options were assessed and a transaction process was undertaken.
A total of 59 employees work at the venue in full and part-time roles.
Tributes are being paid to the popular venue on social media with one local noting that it was the “absolute end of an era.”
“It’s been real, the amount of unforgettable memories will be cherished forever!”
House Limerick opened in the city centre back in 2016 following a significant refurbishment.
Around three-quarters of a million euro was invested and 40 jobs created when the bar opened.
Previously, the premises housed Clohessy’s Bar and Sin Bin nightclub.
That bar and nightclub had ceased trading two years earlier. It was positioned as a high-end bar, restaurant, event and late-night venue, linked to the House brand already established on Leeson Street in Dublin.
