Celebrating One Year of Business - Fordes Courtyard

Limerick’s Fordes Courtyard is marking its first anniversary in business with a week of high-energy celebrations. This is a significant milestone for one of the city’s newest and fastest-growing hospitality venues.

Since opening in April 2025, the bar and pizzeria has become a popular fixture in Limerick’s social scene, known for its Neapolitan-style pizzas, creative cocktails and lively late-night atmosphere. Over the past year, it has built a loyal customer base, with strong support from the people of Limerick playing a central role in its success.

To celebrate turning one, the venue is hosting a series of events to mark their birthday weekend on April 17 and 18. These include limited-edition birthday themed cocktails and pizzas, special offers as well as a customer giveaway, running throughout the week. The business has also launched a new ‘Birthday Club’ newsletter, giving subscribers access to exclusive updates, offers and personalised perks each year on their birthday.

For the team behind Fordes Courtyard, the milestone is as much about the community that has supported them as it is about the business itself. 

Owner JJ Mulcahy said the anniversary is a moment of pride and gratitude. “We’re incredibly proud to reach one year in business. The support from the people of Limerick has been unbelievable from day one, and it’s what has made Fordes Courtyard what it is today,” he said.

“To be able to celebrate this milestone with our customers, many of whom have been with us since the beginning, means a lot. We’re always looking to improve and grow, and we hope to keep building on this for many more years to come,” Mr Mulcahy added. 

As the celebrations get underway, the anniversary not only marks a successful first chapter for Fordes Courtyard but also reflects the growing appetite in Limerick for vibrant, community- driven spaces, with the venue firmly setting its sights on an even bigger year ahead.
