Social Pictures: The Purty Kitchen Courtyard launch party

Late last month, The Purty Kitchen in Dun Laoghaire officially launched the Courtyard, a stunning year-round al-fresco dining space.

On Tuesday, 26 September, guests arrived at Dun Laoghaire’s oldest surviving premises for the launch of The Purty Kitchen’s brand new dining space.

Known for its quality service and delicious food, The Purty Kitchen just celebrated two years of ownership of this building with an almost 300 year history. This kitchen, bar, and live event loft is committed to continuing a rich tradition in the social history of Dublin.

Welcoming guests for a fabulous meal in the area’s newest go-to, al fresco dining space, it was an evening of quality aperitifs, light bites, cocktails, and entertainment. Suitable for year-round outdoor dining, the space keeps patrons well-protected from the ever-changing Irish elements, which couldn’t be more important as we venture closer to winter.

So, if you want to get a sneak peak at the area, take a look at some social photos from the event…
