EST. 1728 There are almost three hundred year’s of stories buried in our walls. ... ...
... There is speculation about how the bar acquired it’s current name ‘The Purty Kitchen’. The local narrative is that an American visitor, who had embarked at Kingstown port, walked up to the door of no. 4 and said to the proprietress, “Say Mamm, you sure have a mighty purty kitchen. ...”

Via Trove, an 1894 description - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/115549483?searchTerm=%...

" ... On the side of this road, past Monkstown, and about a mile from Dunleary, an excellent wayside inn was to be met, where thousands of people resorted, some for refreshments on their way to the sea coast to enjoy the sea breeze ; others went to the grounds to dance, pitch quits, play skittles, and drink genuine Irish whisky or Alley's famed ale at this house, well known as the 'Purty
Kitchen.' How the house received this name I know not, but I have no doubt it was in consequence of the coppers and pewter plates and dishes upon the dresser. These were kept more for ornament than use, and made as bright as hands could polish them. In fact everything about the kitchen was in first-class order, and it was laughable to hear some of the ladies and gentlemen from Thomas-street and the Liberties of Dublin saying: "Oh, then, Jim, isn't it a purty kitchen? Look at the beautiful coppers and pewters."
Jim would likely reply after this fashion: "Faith and it's myself would like to be sitting forninst one of thim dishes with a pig's head lying on a palliasse of cabbage upon it, and some good cup potatoes, and a quart of Guinness's stout to wash my dinner down."
"Just like you, Jim, always thinking of your stomach."
So the fun would go on at the 'purty kitchen.' ... ..."

As the beer is pulled in Joe’s Waterhole, Eumundi, stories of past beer-loving local legends are told. A former Queensland boxing champion and local larrikin, Joe Whiting traded his cane field for the hotel, previously known as the Commercial in the 1860s. Joe was famous for his mischievous behavior. A story is told about how Joe would glue money onto the bar and after someone would leave, he’d call out to them that they had left their change behind. Of course, when they tried to pick the money up it would be stuck there to great amusement of Joe. Source: www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/Council/News-Centre/Backward...

Joseph’s son William Burrell purchased the first three town lots subdivided in 1890 and constructed Eumundi’s first building – the Railway Hotel. It was renamed the Eumundi Hotel in 1900. After a second story was added it was renamed the Commercial Hotel… this one burnt down. For any visitors to Eumundi today, Joe’s Waterhole marks the site of the original Railway Hotel building.

Similar to poster outside shop flic.kr/p/2nPKwS4 The three women represent Scotland, England and India in their traditional dress No mention of Ireland All three have similar complexions and hair colour, even the Indian, thus conforming to Victorian ideals of beauty.

Suck Diesel Great suggestion. I think the type in caps under our three women says UNITED KINGDOM TEA COMPANY alright.
