Durty Nelly's was designed and constructed in Ireland by Irish architects, using genuine Irish materials. It was then disassembled, transported to Shafto Lane in the heart of Perth Western Australia and reassembled. In this sense, it is safe to say that Durty Nelly's is Perth's first and only genuine Irish pub.

Durty Nelly's is divided into three distinctive sections, chosen to represent the culture and history of Ireland.

The Brewery Bar: reflects ancient Brew house traditions, its design inspired by the original Guinness brewery at St James Gate, Dublin.

The Victorian: is ornate and decorative, designed to emulate the nineteenth century Victorian era in which detail and quality craftsmanship went hand in hand with the philosophy that is as vital to please the eye as the palate.

The General Merchant: takes its appearance from a traditional public house, reflecting a time when a pub would double up with all manner of other businesses: grocers, tailors etc.
