Clodagh's Kitchen Pop-Up Event Slideshow

The menu setting was clean and rustic, evoking a home kitchen tucked away in Ireland, with a professional backdrop. 

Fresh oysters and shots of Guinness were walked around the room before guests entered the sit-down dining space. 

Guests waited in the entrance seating area upstairs before being greeted by Clodagh McKenna and taken downstairs.

Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny and wife Fionnuala Kenny were two honored guests of the evening.
