A LEADING Irish hospitality group has opened a new gastro bar in Dublin following a €2.5m renovation.
The Wright Group opened The Brooklyn this week, after their expensive investment completely transformed the space.
Based in Swords, the venue now boasts a mix of rustic materials with soft contrasting patterns and textures.
Led by CEO Michael Wright, The Wright Group operates outlets across Dublin, including at Dublin airport.

“The Brooklyn is the next chapter, a mix of masculine and feminine, like an old urban warehouse in Brooklyn that is filled with moments of luxury, like little jewels,” Ann-Marie O’Neil, Creative Director at O’Donnell + O’Neil Design, says of the project.
The bar offers an all-day menu, which focuses on flavour and skill while using artisanal, local and quality ingredients to create “bold, playful signature dishes inspired by the best flavours in the world”.

“We’re brining, braising, confiting, grilling, baking... all with the focus on flavour,” he said.
“The Brooklyn menu is about taste, technique and ingredients, it’s as simple as that,” he added.
Among the dishes customers can enjoy are Wild Mushroom and Scamorza Arancini with Romesco sauce, herb oil, Gold River Farm leaves and shaved pecorino, or Brisket Melt Sandwiches with beer onions and smoked applewood cheese, or vibrant Korean Chicken Burger with free-range chicken and kimchi slaw.
