Welcome to The Limerick, a charming cafe nestled at Lopikerstraat 21, 2871 BT Schoonhoven, Netherlands. This vibrant spot is not just a place to grab a cup of coffee; it’s an experience steeped in warmth and community. With the phone number +31 182 384 064, you can easily reach out for reservations or inquiries.

Stepping inside The Limerick, you’ll find a delightful blend of classic and contemporary cafe vibes that cater to a young and lively crowd, as well as families looking for a welcoming atmosphere. The decor exudes an inviting and cozy charm, reminiscent of a traditional 'bruine kroeg', complete with wooden accents and comfortable seating that encourages guests to relax and linger a little longer over their drinks.

As you peruse the menu, you're sure to discover an array of satisfying options. While specific dishes weren’t provided, customer favorites like a refreshing Merlot red wine, which was described as “deliciously soft” and light on tannins, pair beautifully with any meal. Vegetarians will enjoy a hearty vega plate highlighted by a substantial kaassoufflé, while meat lovers might be tempted by an indulgent curry wurst. The cafe prides itself on flavor, making it treasured by patrons like Aad Geusebroek, who praised the quality of their meals after a delightful stopover.

The Limerick isn’t just about great food and beverages; it serves as a communal gathering place where people of all ages come together. As noted by F. Koops, this lively cafe frequently hosts events and live music performances across the street, enhancing the social experience and ensuring that there's always something exciting happening. Whether you’re meeting friends or enjoying a family outing, the friendly staff makes everyone feel welcomed, a sentiment echoed by Bert Vogel, who enjoyed the convenient central location and friendly service.

It’s important to note that while The Limerick caters predominantly to young adults and families, they have an age restriction after 10 PM as mentioned by Iris; this is to maintain the comfort and enjoyment of all guests. As Rob Ipenburg amusingly points out, it's best to visit later in the day if you're looking to soak in the lively atmosphere.

All in all, The Limerick thrives as a delightful destination for anyone in the Schoonhoven area looking for a great place to unwind, eat, and socialize. Whether you’re popping in for a refreshing drink, a satisfying meal, or to enjoy one of the many local events, this cafe promises a memorable experience filled with warmth and camaraderie.

For the young crowd, but I was tolerated with my daughter. And don't come early.

juli 2020 vanuit Belgie in Schoonhoven een tussenstop gemaakt en hier wat gegeten en gedronken. De wijn (Merlot) was een heerlijke zacht smakende huiswijn met opvallend weinig tannines. Toppertje. De dames aten een vega plate met een enorme kaassoufflé, en ik een plate curry wurst. We waren het erover eens dat alles prima smaakte! Een leuke ouderwets bruine kroeg met een gezellige gastvrije gastheer! Zo hoort het.

Een gezellig café die zeer actief evenementen organiseert. Hier komen Jong en oud samen. Regelmatig wordt er aan de overkant in de straat live optredens georganiseerd.

Vriendelijk personeel, prima plek om even op te warmen en goed centraal gelegen. En je kan gewoon met pin betalen.

Erg gezellige kroeg in Schoonhoven voor het wat jongere tot mid publiek. Na 1:00 kun je niet meer naar binnen, maar dat wil je ook niet want dan begint iedereen massaal sigaretten te verbranden en kun je amper ademen;)

Heel gezellige kroeg. Sfeervol ingericht. Aardig personeel. Lekker geluncht. Jammer genoeg daar mijn das vergeten. Maar het weer was zo slecht, natte sneeuw, dat we niet terug zijn gegaan om hem te halen. Als we ooit nog eens in de buurt komen bezoeken we het café zeker weer. De das is een col. Zwart witmotief.
