From pizza to pints: The Limerick bar quickly becoming a local favourite

Fordes Courtyard has fast become one of Limerick’s standout food and drink destinations, earning a reputation among locals as a serious contender for the city’s best pizza.

In the heart of Limerick on Little Ellen Street, Fordes blends the warmth of a traditional pub with the energy of a modern pizza and cocktail bar, making it a go-to spot from midweek catch-ups to big Saturday nights out.

Pizza is at the heart of what Fordes Courtyard does, and it’s clear from the first bite that quality comes first. Each pizza is cooked in a traditional Valoriani Italian-style oven.

The menu caters to all tastes, from classic crowd-pleasers to more adventurous flavour combinations, all made using top-quality ingredients and a dough that’s carefully prepared to deliver real depth of flavour.

Whether you’re dropping in for a casual slice or sitting down for a full meal with friends, the pizza alone is worth the visit.

Of course, great pizza deserves great drinks, and Fordes Courtyard more than delivers on that front. The bar is fully stocked with a wide range of beers and ciders that pair perfectly with food.

Cocktail lovers are equally well looked after, with a menu that mixes timeless classics with creative, modern twists, all made using premium spirits and fresh ingredients.

For wine drinkers, there’s a thoughtfully selected list of reds, whites and rosés, offering something to suit every palate and every plate.

What really sets Fordes Courtyard apart, though, is the atmosphere. By day and early evening it’s relaxed and welcoming, ideal for after-work pints or a laid-back meal. As the weekend rolls in, the energy lifts, and every Saturday night a DJ takes over, turning the space into a dynamic and lively spot.

It’s the perfect place to start the night, or to settle in and enjoy good music, great drinks and an unbeatable atmosphere without having to move on.

With its standout pizza, impressive drinks offering and buzzing Saturday night soundtrack, Fordes Courtyard has carved out a unique place in Limerick’s food and nightlife scene.

It’s not just a bar, and it’s not just a pizza place, it’s a destination, and one that more and more locals are proudly calling Limerick’s best.
