It starts as just a little throwaway thought as you go about your day. But then it begins to grow; taking your concentration prisoner. Then the physical symptoms set in. The stomach rumbles, the mouth salivates, the eyes bulge, and pretty soon all you can think about is when you can get your next fix. Yes, hunger is a curse.

€12 for a €25 food and drink voucher to spend on lunch or evening menu at Whelans Bar and Restaurant, Denmark Street.

Playing host to a gifted Italian chef who turns out the most bellissimo of authentic Italian pizzas; Whelans' menu features such hunger-busting combination as saucy boscaiola with penne pasta, chicken, bacon, peas and mushrooms in a creamy tomato sauce or farm house beef burger with three delicious toppings. 

Located just a short stroll away from the hub of Limerick's nightlife; Whelans is a great spot for a bite to eat with some mates before heading out on the town. No need to book ahead, just arrive when that hunger starts to kick in and enjoy some food off their fantastic menu.
