Limerick Castle Hotel

It’s a good old school pub with good, cheap meals. It’s where the true locals of North Melbourne come to eat, drink and relax with each other. The décor could use a refresh desperately but the friendly staff and atmosphere make up for it. The chef is native Nepalese and makes the curry from scratch, if you like a good curry then come here to try it out!

Okay, we have this traditional pub in the heart of a gastro infected North Melbourne and I have to say that it is a bit of a refresher. There certainly aren’t any of the trendy crowds piling into the doors of this place (and in fact it still boasts the collection of old guys sitting at the bar staring into their beers). It also serves traditional pub food, and even comes with a happy hour (something that I very rarely see anymore). Okay, it isn’t my favourite pub, and is a little out of the way for me, but I still don’t mind coming here occasionally. The one thing that did annoy me was that the beer garden closed early and I was directed out the front when I indicated that I wanted to sit outside. Personally, I really don’t like sitting out on the side of the road, but what can you do?
