The Venue · Upstairs at Walters

The best room
in Dún Laoghaire.

What's Included

A whole room,
and the team to run it.

Everything you'd expect from a function room, plus a few things you wouldn't: a real stage, a separate bar staffed by our team, and a kitchen that already does this for a living.

I.
Space

Your own room.

Hidden on the second floor, guests get a private staircase, an exclusive bar, and the run of the place for the night.

II.
Stage

Built for live music.

Dedicated stage, PA, optional lighting and microphones. Hire a band, hire ours, or play your own playlist.

III.
Bar

An exclusive bar.

Stocked from the same cellar as downstairs, served by our team. Tabs, packages, signature cocktails.

IV.
Food

Bistro kitchen.

Party menus from €35pp. Plated dinners, family spreads, canapés, late-night bites. Same kitchen as downstairs.

V.
Layout

Flexible.

Round tables for a wedding. Long banquet for a 40th. Standing for a launch. Tables move; the room reads to whatever you're doing.

VI.
People

One coordinator.

One person looking after your event from enquiry to last orders. Most of the team have been here years; nothing fazes them.

We had our 50th here on a Saturday. The upstairs room felt like ours for the night, the band was unreal, and the kitchen sent up plate after plate without a hitch.

Booked Walters for a company social. The team thought we'd splashed out. We hadn't. They'd just nailed it.

I came in for a quick pint and stayed for three sets of jazz. Walked home along the pier wondering why I don't do this every Thursday.
