A George's Street pub since 1904.
Walters is an independent bar, restaurant and music venue in the heart of Dún Laoghaire, just a 2-minute walk from The People's Park. Walters has been here since 1904, and the pub reopened under new management in January 2022. We have free live music Wednesday to Sunday downstairs in the pub, as well as regular ticketed gigs and events upstairs at The Venue at Walters. See the food menu before you book a table.
In collaboration with ArtNetDLR, Walters is home to rotating exhibitions containing art adhering to a theme by local professional artists.
Our food menus were designed with a passion for fantastic food made with the best ingredients. We regularly update the menu and have lots of seasonal specials.
At Walters we have an extensive drinks menu with everything from draught beers and ciders, wines, cocktails, soft drinks, hot drinks & plenty of non-alcoholic options. We also have rotating drink specials so be sure to ask next time you're in!

Took the place over and never quite let go. The reason it's still family-run, and the one who books the bands.

Albanian roots with 25+ years of experience in kitchens across Ireland. Passionate about food and a creative mind that's always looking for new ways to make dishes exciting.
Oscar
Perfectionist that takes care of major function room enquiries and still finds his way behind the bar most weekends. Surprisingly makes a killer Whiskey Sour.
Finn
The cocktail engineer, makes cocktails look like 1300s alchemy, and a philosopher on the side... will talk about Dostoievski while making you an espresso martini.
Bianca
Customer service extraordinaire, and the one who makes sure the floor runs smoothly. She'll make you feel at home, and will always have a smile on her face.
