Limelight

About Limelight

Ormeau Avenue puts this at the edge of the Linen Quarter, close enough to the city centre that most people arrive on foot and stay out until the 2am close. Fridays and Saturdays open the doors early at 5pm and run long, while Monday, Wednesday and Thursday keep to a straight 10pm start — the rest of the week it's dark. Music moves between commercial hits, deep and lounge house and 80s throwbacks, and the room is small enough that the floor fills fast rather than spreading thin. VIP booths, bottle service and table service are there if you want a base for the night, though the $$ pricing and an 18-plus door skewing young keep it accessible. Smart casual is enough. The crowd is largely local, with couples, tourists and backpackers folded in, and it holds a 4.2 rating across more than three thousand reviews.
