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 entrance, 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, our DJ, 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, or sharing platters from €80 (serves ~10). Plated dinners, family spreads, canapés, late-night bites. Same kitchen as downstairs.

V.
Layout

Flexible.

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 held our wedding dinner and dance celebration for 75 people on the upper level at Walter's. Michelle, Lorcan and team were outstanding… The menu, superbly prepared by Vinny and his team, was a hit with our guests… The venue is spacious enough to cater for pre-dinner drinks and live music throughout the evening. We would highly recommend Walter's as a wedding reception venue.

We had the absolute pleasure of having our Wedding reception in Walter's… The food was sensational! Our lovely chef Igli Lapraku made us his special oven baked hake and oh my goodness absolutely incredible!… As for the lovely manager Michelle and all her amazing staff, they were amazing and looked after everything for us… we are so very happy we chose Walter's.

We had our Christmas party here tonight and we were a group of 33… the staff was able to manage it very well, all our little requests were met. One of the serving staff, Raevita (special mention) was amazing and very helpful… Food wise, all that we ordered were delicious and the portion size were very generous.
