About us

D4 is your Irish local in the heart of the Wellington. Owned and operated by Irishman Dermot Murphy, we bring a touch of Dublin 4 to the capital, offering authentic Irish hospitality since 2007.

As one of the few independently owned venues in the city, we pride ourselves on pouring great pints, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home.

Whether you're here for a meal, a catch-up with friends, or to watch the big game, D4 is where the community comes together for good times and great craic.
