If you set out to design the perfect gastropub you would end up with a version of the Purty Kitchen. As we crossed the road approaching the pub we were smiled at by some very happy diners leaving a full house at 8:00 PM on a Saturday night. This was a good sign. As you open the door and walk in the atmosphere immediately grabs you: it's got that almost impossible to measure buzz about it. IE the right mix of atmosphere, chatter, music, lighting, smell and interior design. All of this serves to immediately put you at ease and tell you you're in for a good evening. The staff are really helpful and brought us to a really nice corner table with a full view of the space. Pre-dinner drinks were promptly served while we went through the menu which is clearly designed to celebrate top quality Irish ingredients without being at all pretentious. It's the sort of place where you can have a really high end fish dish or top quality steak or just sit at the bar with a burger and a pint. Amongst the dishes we had where prawns pill pill, calamari, mussels and fish and chips All of which were as good as you will get and perfect for a place like this by the sea. We were really impressed with the selection of wines available by the glass which went well above and beyond the usual Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot.
There is a well-trained and enthusiastic young team running the floor and it's clear the owners take a hands on approach as their presence could be seen orchestrating affairs.
As the night went on and people finished their dinners the place morphed into being a nice relaxed local pub where people were enjoying a bottle of wine, a cocktail or just a few pints.
We travelled across town to meet friends there and it's really convenient being literally a couple of minutes from the dart station.
This is definitely a place we will be back to again and again and a big thank you to all the staff for a wonderful evening.

The most incredible food. Stunning venue. World class service. Upstairs in Purty Loft is the best comedy venue in south Dublin.

The Purty Kitchen, Dún Laoghaire – A Fantastic Music Venue!
I recently had the pleasure of attending a live music event at The Purty Kitchen in Dún Laoghaire, and I have to say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience!
The venue itself is charming, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The stage setup is perfect for live performances, offering an intimate experience with great sightlines from every corner of the room. The sound quality was exceptional, bringing the performance to life with crystal-clear audio.
The staff at The Purty Kitchen were incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. They managed the crowd well, ensuring everyone had a great experience while keeping things running smoothly.
The food and drink selection was also impressive, with delicious bites and a well-stocked bar that added to the venue’s appeal. The menu caters to all tastes, and everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavour.
Whether you’re a music lover looking for a great gig or just want to enjoy a night out with friends, The Purty Kitchen is a top spot. I’ll definitely be back for more live music and good vibes. Highly recommended!

Had a very fun Sunday here with a private event upstairs in the gorgeous loft space and then a very tasty lunch and cocktails afterwards. The service was great and the price was very very reasonable will definitely be back.

The Purty Kitchen is one of the best restaurants in the Monkstown/Dunlaoghaire area, and beyond. I go for dinner quite a bit, and am never disappointed. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and good fun, which adds to the overall environment.
The food is exceptional, as there's a great choice of wine or other drinks for every palate, including some amazing cocktails, and an excellent pint of Guinness!
Can't recommend this enough for any occasion, or just popping in for an open steak sandwich and a pint!
