I’ve been a huge fan of MurLarkey for years and have recommended it to countless friends and family. It was my go-to spot for unique, high-quality cocktails — especially because of Papi’s amazing drink creations. However, my recent visit to their new location left me incredibly disappointed.
First off, I tried to make a reservation through their website, but there was no clear option to do so. I also attempted to call several times with no answer. Still wanting to support them, I decided to make the two-hour drive with a couple of friends. When we arrived, I was shocked to find out that reservations were required and only available through the Resy app — something not mentioned or made clear on their site.
I explained the situation to the staff, hoping for some understanding or flexibility, especially since the patio was visibly empty. Unfortunately, they were dismissive and outright rude, simply saying “no” without even trying to offer alternatives. It was embarrassing, especially since I was the one who had talked up the place so much to my friends.
Still trying to salvage the evening, I suggested we grab food at 2 Silos and come back for drinks. But when we returned, we found that the new MurLarkey location no longer offers the creative, craft cocktails that made the original location so special. Instead, they now serve basic, generic drinks you can find anywhere. The originality is gone.
Between the poor customer service, lack of clear communication, and the major drop in drink quality and uniqueness, I can no longer recommend MurLarkey. It breaks my heart to say that — this used to be one of my favorite places. Sadly, it now feels like just another generic restaurant. A truly disappointing experience from a place I once loved and truly supported.
