Murphy's Pub

Go support this great pub! All the other bars in the area were closed (even though the days/times on their doors said they were open. They’ve all given up except this great pub!). Had a great chat with the publican….it was 4pm Friday afternoon and he said before COVID, this bar was packed. Office workers working from home, 3 day weekends, no-one working Friday’s in the offices, this is hurting all the great hospitality business downtown. Go to Murphy’s Pub and support a battler! It is a great bar!

We looked for a bar that is not too crowded, has a good choice of beer and serves good food. The prices are good and the staff was really friendly! Five stars!

Disappointed not a proper full pint of Guinness is available, unlike other Irish Bars within the area... although on the wa it states that it is a full pint. Bar tender was friendly.

Good place to hang out with friends in evenings (after work etc). Pretty decent beer collection and cool atmosphere inside. What's also nice is that they have outdoor seating at the backside with not much foot or mobile traffic. One of the places in the city we end up going quite often.

Great local watering hole with cheap eats and a decent beer selection. Always busy but not so crowded you can't find a seat. Doesn't seem to attract a lot of tourists, which is good. Patio in the back alley for folks who still like to enjoy some nicotine with their beverages.

We had such a great time at Murphy's Pub. And we loved that the bartender, Valerie, was from Dublin. Great beer and Irish whiskey selection. Squint and you'll swear you're in Temple Bar.

Great! Tasty Guinness. Lovely people. Didn’t eat but heard it’s good food. Totally coming back!

Very nice atmosphere. I recommend the chicken sandwich with garlic fries. The garlic fries are excellent and are made with fresh chopped garlic.

Amazing food, better service. Great place!!! Hours on Yelp are wrong, it's M-F 11:30 am to 10:30 pm

Food is not even good here. I've eaten the food here with coworkers over 20 times here, and every time, my food was extremely bland and overcooked. You pay a high price for low end food. I've seen rats and cockroaches at Murphy's but just ignore it because I'm not the kind of person to cause a fuss. Their location being in the Financial district is what saves them. What pushed me over the edge in giving them a bad review for my last experience there. So, I met my coworkers for happy hour in the back patio outside. I ordered one beer and after 20 minutes, I went downstairs to go order another drink for a coworker. As I walked down the stairs (holding my first beer still), I tripped on a corner of the mat, on one of the stair's landing. The corner of the mat was flipped up causing me to trip and almost fall down the steps. I could have gotten hurt badly, but good thing, I was able to regain my balance and not take the tumble. (Yes, I was able to save the beer too. None of it spilled. If I was drunk, I would have fell and /or dropped my drink.) As I got to the bar, the bartenders told me I had to leave because their manager said I was too drunk. I was shocked. I thought it was a joke and asked are you serious? Then they got really upset with me and said they'd call the cops if I didn't leave immediately. So of course I left. I ended up going to Irish Bank, which is more of an aIrish pub. Murphy's is not an Irish pub, let alone a pub btw. I told the Irish Bank's staff my story and asked if they thought I was too drunk to be there and they all agreed that the Murphy's Pub staff was crazy. I get it, Murphy's owner's doesn't care for this one customer's experience they soured, because they have a great location to have whatever foot traffic they get. I suggest going to Irish Bank over this dirty facility and the unpleasant staff at Murphy. I have one star, but wish I can give zero. 3.5 stars on Yelp is still a bad score. 4 stars is ok. 4.5-5 stars is great.

Good afternoon, My name is Spencer I am new yelp reviewer. Let me just tell you what an amazing experience I have had every SINGLE time I have ever been the Murphys. Not only is the customer service exceptional but the drinks are cold and the vibes are positive. Please join me and my fellow peers in recognizing such a beautiful establishment. I would really like to point out one worker with the name of Val she is what some people like to call a #goat please pay your respects at Murphys. God bless you, SGD

One of the best bars in fidi! Such amazing energy and the staff is so amazing and kind. They also just opened the kitchen and have fries! Definitely a must for downtown.

Excellent food , be sure to try the corn beef nachos and the shepherds pie. Good selection of beers Personable servers Live music . Great, fun place

Always a 5 star for this place. Full transparency, I've been coming here for years! I love local places and places that transcend time. The grill is back open!!! Yes, that's right! Limited menu but enough for everyone. I left full and satisfied. Val is still the GOAT as one reviewer posted. Love her!! She is quick to greet you and keep you served. I love the local crowd and tourists alike. Great place for any and all. Please stop in. The space has great character. You'll love it and will want to return!

Murphy's is back open, a sign that the city is coming back to life. This was my local for many years; on the way back home after a long day at the office would pop in for a pint occasionally and it's a great local bar. When I saw it boarded up during the pandemic it felt like a little piece of SF had died. Then, on a rare trip back into the city tonight, saw the lights were back on and had to go in. The main bar hasn't changed a bit, still the same great selection and Val's behind the bar. She's an absolute gem who came over from Dave's (now The Lark and thus full of wankers) and it was lovely to chew the fat over what was open, what was no more, and where the life left in the city was. My mate and I ended up staying for multiple beers, it was that good to be back, and the bar is coming to life again. The kitchen is still closed (although the food was a bit meh) and the secondary bar in the back is still shuttered. But locals still come in and it's a proper SF pub again. Also, they haven't raised their prices - unlike most - and still a $7 pint for really good beer. So glad to see it return.

Cool bar. Great atmosphere. Cold drinks. No food anymore. That's the only drawback. But if I wasn't hungry & only wanted a chill bar.....I'd come here. The service was fast and quick!

Was in town visiting and a buddy from Sacramento came to town to say hello. He said "We have to go to Murphy's Pub...my wife and I always come here when we are in town!" I like hanging out in places that aren't necessarily too touristy so we stopped by for a couple of beers and had an awesome time. Decent beer selection, very friendly staff and great atmosphere. I ended up talking with some people at the bar for quite some time. Love this friendly type of environment where you can talk to a random stranger and feel like old friends when you're saying good bye. Service at the bar was quick, beer was cold and glasses were clean. Also, music in the background was great. That's pretty darn good in my book.

Great environment! Valory was very welcoming and made me feel right at home. I would highly recommend going here.

We had some time to kill in SF and got a bit hungry, so we popped into Murphys. The front area, by the bar, was scarce seating, although there is some more seating toward the back. Theres no table service, which isnt the end of the world, but ordering and paying at the bar when its crowded could be a pain. The menu isnt extensive or impressive, but pretty standard pub fare. We got the BBQ pork sandwich, which was decent. The steak fries were a bit bland, but had some crisp, which was nice. The drink selection was legit, but I'd expect that from an Irish pub. Overall, the place is decent for some good drinks and a quick bite.

Amazing pub! Being previous locals we were excited to spot a traditional Irish Pub on our recent visit. Ollie welcomed us with delicious drinks and a great story of their recent reopening. A must stop on your trek through the City.

If you want fairly cheap drinks, terrible service, low quality food selection/quality, and you're already drunk, then you might like this place. Too bad we arrived sober. It took about 15 minutes to wave down a server, and then another 5-10 before we could order a drink. The cocktails were made with bottom shelf liquor. Beer selection is not good for a pub. There are plenty of other dive bars to go to in SF that are better than this one!

So my bestie and I have came here a few times now, and each time we have had a blast. It is the perfect regular bar/pub. You don't have to be dressed up or be rich to go here come as you are. What we really like (besides the cold beer and alcohol) is the authentic vibe it has. It's not trying to be anything trendy or touristy. It's just a normal pub. The food is actually pretty good as well. The favorites here are the nachos (seemingly hard to find in downtown sf) onion rings and the quesadilla. Super good bar food that pairs well with almost any drink. If you just want to chill, drink a cold drink and have a good time with your friends I would def recommend this place.

I was only in here for a short period time, but I have no complaints. My friends wanted to get a bit boozy before heading off to do something else, so we stopped by this place and ordered a round of tequila shots. The drink menu consists of mostly beers; don't expect any fancy cocktails because after all this is an Irish pub. Despite its close proximity to Market Street and its large "MURPHY'S PUB" sign, Murphy's Pub is surprisingly not very conspicuous and not a tourist spot (maybe due to the ratings). When I was there with friends on a Saturday afternoon, there were just a bunch of older folks focused on the football game showing on the television. Service was fine, friendly, but felt slightly judgmental since my friends and I didn't seem to "fit in".

Came here with my coworkers for lunch on a Friday and it was honestly pretty disappointing. There were like 7 of us and we were able to snag a booth in the back. How it works: You order your food with the bartenders at the bar and then you find your own seating. There'll be a server who brings our your food. Majority of us ordered the fish and chips. The food came out really quickly. However, the fries and the fish were sooooo undercooked for ALL of our orders. /: yikes Tl;dr: don't recommend and won't be coming back. There's other bars in the area to go to.

So I attempted to go back to Murphy's Pub, to see if their was any changes to their policy of charging for club soda( you know the beverage....water with bubbles!) The bartender recognized me and read my review of the bar. She said I wasn't welcomed I told her I'm a paying patron, but she wouldn't hear of it. She had a Manager speak to me ( he wouldn't give his name) he basically said if I didn't leave he would physically remove me I was scared. I only weigh 140 pound and I'm 5'6. I left worrying for my safety They think they can bully you. I have never been this upset before. The Manager tried to push his chest on me. I feel like I should call the police

Good dive bar located in the downtown area. Cold beer and some decent appetizers, but I don't think I would recommend going there for a meal (there are some pretty great places to eat in SF). My work group has spent many a night in Murphy's. I made the fatal mistake of asking for my receipt (expense report requirement) and was told off by our waitress for being a 'total p.o.s. that doesn't care about our environment". I care about the environment, just need the receipt. That's all. Didn't mean to offend anyone, and certainly didn't need that. Goodbye Murphy's. It was a good run.

I'm not a big fan of Murphy's, actually. A pint of Carlsberg is around $7, which is $2 more than I'm happy to pay when I'm with my colleagues and $4 more than I'm willing if I'm honest with myself. I prefer a Carlsberg over the many other choices available. Back when I was younger and enjoying a summer in Hong Kong, I used to go to this cheap all you can eat hotpot restaurant with my then colleague. They also provide an all you can drink beer in these sweating green Carlsberg beer cans. We used to throw back six or seven of those while talking about dreams and the world with a boiling pot of water between us. I miss that guy. I remember those Carlsberg to be colder than the $7 ones at Murphy's. My current colleague likes this place because she discovered these tables in the back. It's outdoors, which makes it inconvenient and romantic at the same time when the rain pours in. Regardless of weather, there are these two large tables that can sit a big happy hour party provided there are enough chairs. During rainy days, some chairs are wet and some are dry. I'd like to think that this is nature's way of incentivizing professionals to be punctual for happy hour. I enjoy spending time with my two table full of colleagues, enough so that I pay $7 for that Carlsberg. We talk about little things and find out more little things about one another. Sometimes I wonder about each person's dreams and stories. I always have to go after my first drink since I have wifey and family obligations. Telling others a personal story usually happens much after the first drink. I think I'd like to hear them and look at my colleagues in a new light. It means I'll have to buy another Carlsberg. But that one would be well worth the $7.

Great dive bar in downtown. Cold drinks, surprisingly delicious apps, and great service. My coworkers are always hitting up Murphy's that they're on a first name basis. I love sitting outside in the back of the pub. The vibe is chill and casual with heaters overhead for the cold nights. It's not touristy or too busy. The servers do table service, outside or in. Ordered fries, mozzarella sticks, and some beers. Decent selection and the food hit the spot. Great place to either stop by at the beginning of your night or just hangout all Friday night long. You can even make friends with strangers near you, it's just that type of pub. Will continue to be coming back and forth to Murphy's.

Wow, Chicken Pot Pie. I've tried it twice and I loved it from the very first bite. Also been here for happy hour as well and it's a pretty nice place to chill and relax with a couple of friends. If you like chicken pot pie, you have to try it. It's a bit pricey ($12.25) but considering it's in Fidi and a bar, it's worth it. The crust is flakey and the top is like a crumble. There are big piece of tender and juicy chicken. You can choose a side of soup or salad; I think the soup changes often. I actually called and ordered ahead, the lady told me 20-25 minutes for it to be ready and we got there around 15 minutes, we had to wait another 30 minutes at the bar because they had a lot of customers. That was kind of inconvenient but the food was definitely worth it.

Good dive bar to enjoy the games and have a cold beer or drink. Food is OK. Some stools at the bar and a few tables. Place to have a quick drink but a place to hang out and bring a date. Bartender is great!

[In the tune of Reading Ranbow Theme] "Beers in the sky, Two Shots at a Time.. Just take a look, It's on your phone My Yelp Review Yo! I Can Yelp Anything!, Friends to know, And money to throw! My Yelp Review Yo! My Yelp Review Yoooooooooo!" Okay Yelpdom, I have to admit..I was totally feeling this intro. But what does it have to do with "Yelping?" Everything B! Like the Reading Rainbow theme is what we do as "Yelpers" or at least it should be. Sometimes it's really hard to break out a "Routine" so to speak and try something new. But seeing my low review count for the year..I have decided that I need to try a new place everytime I go to "The City" or anywhere for that matter. "Murphy's Pub" has been on my "Yelpdar" for a while now. I figured that in lew of me deciding to be adventurous, this place was known for their "Fish and Chips" I was hungry, so with my gold chains and "Yankee" gear on, I went into what I then realized was a West Cost "Red Sox" pub....here is my review. Thursday June 22, 2017 Location: Murphy's Pub San Francisco, CA People: 1 Adult Story: Well it was 103 degrees in Pittsburg, totally unacceptable in my opinion. So I checked the weather for "SF" and it was to my liking (73 Degrees). I felt like showing my "Yankee Fandom" that day and threw on my jersey and signiture "Gold Chains" and I set off to the "Bay Area Rapid Transit" station and headed out. I wanted to try "Murphy's Pub" out and had my sights set. When I walked in though....that was the intresting part....(Red Sox oriented Pub) But I was hungry and didn't mind an interesting conversation. Service/Hospitality: This place was busy because of baseball games, The NBA Draft, and it being around happy hour. The bartenders and servers we're attentive and moved very quickly to make sure everyone was getting the service they needed. The bartender that helped me was friendly..in spite of my "Yankee Fandom" the service here was pretty good if I say so myself. I have no complaints, Good Job Murphy's Pub Staff! Food/Cleanliness: In a kinda close quarters bar/pub they managed to keep everything pretty clean and tidy in here. The bar which I had my lunch was pretty clean and non sticky, so I was indeed pleased and made me more than willing to want to dine there. And from my observations when I scanned the bar, what I wanted the "Fish and Chips" $14.00 seemed to be the popular option so that's what I ordered, along with a nice cold "Union Jack IPA" $6.00 let me tell you....This was propabubly the best "Fish and Chips" I've had in a while.. Fish and Chips - Piping Hot, Fresh, Meaty, Great Batter and most of all "Filling". I wasn't hungry at all after finishing this meal. The Chips/Fries were cut in the Steakcut style. They were Hot and Crispy as a good french fry should be and with some ketchup and malt vinegar....poetry in motion for me. I loved this meal from start to finish and recommend it to anyone that drops by. Union Jack IPA - It pared perfect with my meal. It was hoppy, but not overly hoppy but did have a nice bite to it. A smooth finish and it was good. Overall: I would come back to Murphy's Pub sooner than later. Great service, cool crowd, great "Fish and Chips" and decent prices. My only grip is that the establishment seemed kinda cramped and cluttered, as everything seemed too close together. But I wouldn't hold that against this place too much..Unless you're closterfobic. Well as always I will leave you with this.... So now "Yelpdom", with an open heart and an empty stomach, I say unto you in the words of my uncle: "Allez Cuisine!"

Old school SF Giants/Irish pub in the Financial District (a couple blocks away form Chinatown). The walls are packed with pictures of the Giants in their Championship runs, old school Giants, famous folks of Irish descent, and funny other pictures. Plenty of TVs to watch a game, and there are always a few fans in their during a Giants game. I used the Yelp reviews and pictures to decide what I wanted to eat for lunch. The owners should put their menu up on the Yelp site (it would be super helpful). There weren't a ton of people there when I visited, so even if you're seated, you had to order from the bartender. I got fish and garlic chips. The bartender didn't mention that it was $1.50 extra for the garlic fries, which I would been fine with. The Stella on tap went nice with the food.

Great Irish pub food in San Francisco. I have tried the Cottage Pie, the Fish and Chips, and the Bangers. All good, standard fare. Usually plenty of seating, good service, and good selection of beers and whiskies. San Francisco has so much good food to offer, but occasionally I'll get a craving for pub food and this is where I go.

I had some serious cravings for a turkey burger with provolone and a side of fries. Murphy's hooked it up with some big ole steak fries and a tasty bird burger. My only criticism would be that the patty, although fresh and homemade, was just a smidge on the dry side. That condition was easily remedied with a dollop of mayo. Friendly enough bartender, and relaxed lunch time crowd made me wish my lunch hour were an actual hour rather than an uncivilized 30 minutes. Good thing I called ahead, as I did end up waiting a few minutes once I arrived. I don't mind - it means the food is actually made to order. So turkey burger with fries and a pint of Stella came to $24.55 - plus $5 tip. Definitely a splurge but well worth it when you have a craving that will not be denied!

Tourist trap! I have stopped in here a few times but it's not really a go to spot. Many better locations a few streets over that are much nicer and friendlier. I would be specific but we don't want the tourist zombies to herd over. The staff is not very friendly which probably has to do with the overcrowding. Food = would not recommend.

I had walked some 25,000 steps over the course of two days and just needed to sit down. This was honestly the first bar I came to. I sat at the bar and ordered a Murphy's Stout (no other choice seemed right). I spotted a container of mayo on the bar and soon decided I needed French fries to go with the beer. They arrived hot and crisp. It's simple pleasures like this that can make your day.

My wife and I came here twice this weekend. Being right next to our hotel was the only reason. In the cold and rain, you can't be too choosy. Lunch was beer with fish and chips. Nothing amazing but edible. They put the game I wanted on the TV and the service was fine....nothing remarkable. We also came by for an Irish coffee after dinner. Understaffed again and not the best service. The bartender forgot our order and the coffee was cold. Meh....

I love Murphys for their reasonably priced drinks on tap and bottled, along with their delicious bar appetizers! A lot of my coworkers love this spot for happy hour and it's one of the only bars in financial district that is probably the most "divey". They have a good beer selection, just about satisfying each beer type there is with ones that are most common (guinness, crispin cider, great white, anchor steam to name just a few out of their big list). As for their bar food, I've had their mozarella sticks, buffalo wings, garlic (and non garlic fries. Definitely would recommend their buffalo wings! You can request them to be spicy or not. They have burgers, sandwiches, and quesadillas for a more entree-style sort of meal if you aren't into sharing . The space here is huge which is why it's perfect for happy hours! They can fit large groups of people and even have a small outdoor patio.

Comfortable establishment with Anchor Steam on draft and rye in the bottle. Standard food of carbs, protein ,etc at the bar. A nice place to visit after a day of dealing with the public. Always a short Anchor and rye for me. Bartenders are chill guys too. Cheers.

My company sometimes has its Christmas luncheon here. Other than my company's Christmas luncheon I've eaten here a couple of times for lunch. This is a no nonsense pub that doesn't have an extensive menu, but the food here is excellent. In past I've had restaurant-named items like Murphy's Burger and Murphy's Cheese Steak Sandwich. The burger and cheese steak are delicious because the beef is tender and moist. The fish and chips are fantastic because you get 3 pieces of fish and the THICK steak frites are crispy. I came here to eat lunch yesterday. I didn't want to have a heavy lunch as my friend and I were going to have dinner at Sauced BBQ & Spirits in Livermore that night. For lunch I only ordered two items: fried calamari and garlic fries. The calamari is delicious because of the drizzled lemon aioli. The calamari maintains its crispness because it's not soaked in the lemon aioli. The garlic fries was amazing. Love the flavor of garlic fries but hate when fries become soggy? These garlic fries are not soggy at all. I think the reason is the steak frites. This type of fries hold up the garlic flavoring better than the thin cut fries because the thick cut fries don't become soggy. I was stuffed after these two items. I didn't even have a beer. For these two items, even though they're considered bar food, I only paid less than $20. For that price I had delicious, inexpensive, quality lunch.

Food is over priced. I know I didn't have 50 cents for ranch to eat with my garlic fries... I had only card... I didnt bring 50 cents because I have been coming here for over a year not bc this is my favorite place but bc they have garlic fries... anyways I've been here multiple times and never have been charged for ranch. I told the bar guy I only had card and he said only if you spend 10 dollars and up... and I explained to him how I have never been charged for ranch here and he said "oh well it's 50 cents" and he walked away. I'm couldn't believe they would rather have a un happy person at the bar than a happy customer with their ranch I mean I just bought a 8 dollar fries... like dude just give me some ranch. Which btw the ranch is not even mentioned on their menu as an extra charge... like I respect those pizza places that actually mentions that their ranch is 25 cents ... but Murphy's doesn't. Pretty upset I spent 8 dollars on fries and I couldn't enjoy them.

Pub place that is convenient to grab and grub. One of the older bars that have been around for awhile on the block. It's not a walk in impressive kind of pub scene, but it gets the drinking on and stop by for the game to watch for a bit. They have the typical bar food - like a burger!

The drinks are strong and my bartender was friendly. So far so good. I would recommend this spot.

After passing by Murphy's Pub so many times... I never thought that, I will have the chance to eat at this place... Finally on this day, I got a chance to eat at Murphy's Pub for the very first time!!! The meal that, I have ordered from the menu of Murphys Pub was The Chicken Pot Pie & Vegetable Soup and also got a chance to drink the Irish Coffee with the meal for the very first time as well!!! The meal that, I had after all tasted really good!!! Five Stars for Murphy's Pub!!! The service wasnt that bad either, my waitress Shannon who serve me was very friendly!!! Eventhough Murphy's Pub has a tough place to park best way to come here is by Muni Bus or Bart unless if you want to pay for parking by going to the private parking area!!!

In San Fran visiting for the holidays and stopped in here on our first evening. The bartender/ server Val was amazing! She was the only one working the floor but successfully took care of us and about a dozen other patrons. Ordered drinks (beers) while we waited on the food. The spicy wings were delicious and the fish and chips satisfied my British mother which is no small task. All food was made in a kitchen off the bar so you could watch the preparation. Very authentic; feel like you are in an Irish pub. If you are looking for something fancy or are picky about food this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for a true pub experience in San Fran come on in and enjoy. Cheers!!

Location, Location, Location... Typical SF downtown bar, smelly, crowded, hit or miss staff. Belly up to the bar, order a couple of drinks so you are not waiting for the second one to come. Sometimes you have to wait quite a long time to get that second drink. The food is the typical fried fare. Its all about the location.

If you are actually looking for a "pub", then this is a good spot. If you want fancy, keep stepping. This is the real deal in my opinion. Only had drinks and chatted with the bartender, Lenny. Can't tell you about the food. Ambiance is definitely a true pub feel.

My friend and I just wanted a place to grab a drink on our way home and this place happened to be conveniently on the way. Despite the name, we didn't find anything particularly "Irish" about the interior. It's just a well-worn and comfortable bar and the drink prices were right. I got a pint of decent IPA (Goose Island?) for $5, which is a good price, especially having just paid $9 for a pint at Sauce, yeesh. Anyhoo, it's a smallish place but wasn't too loud or crowded so my friend and I were able to easily find a seat and enjoy a nice conversation over a drink. Good to know they have snacks if you're hungry, but we didn't have any food so I can't comment on that. STEPH JUDGEMENT: Nondescript "Irish" pub that'll do in a pinch.

This pub was one of the many bars my wife and I went through a couple days ago. We ended up staying for a while because of the music being played here. When I went to close my tab I saw a sign about an app where you pick the songs. I downloaded it and was able to play some of my favorite songs for free. The other person picking music had similar tastes in music so we ended up buying a couple more rounds just to jam out. Anyways, the bartender was very friendly and attentive. They had some nice seats open that night so we were able to relax and drink a couple shots and have some beers. They had a kitchen in the same room as a bar which is kind of cool. It was late so no food was being served at the time so I cannot comment on their food. The bar was a nice place to relax and listen to some tunes. The prices were not fantastic but they also were not the worst. The bathrooms we decent for a pub; they were single use but I didn't have to wait to use it. The high ceilings in there also made it feel less claustrophobic than the other many bars in SF. Good place to hang out!

Stopped by on Wednesday, October 7th around 6:45pm for a round of drinks. We were nearby and someone suggested Murphy's Pub, so we decided to check it out. When we walked in, there were no seats avail, but once we got our drinks (a Guinness & Stella Artois), a couple opened up at the bar, so we snagged them. Pretty chill vibe. There weren't that many people there. Just enough to fill the seats. They have a good amount of TVs showing whatever sporting event is on. This time, it was baseball: Chicago Cubs vs Pittsburgh Pirates. Good bar to grab a round. I know they also serve food, but we didn't try any as we were heading to another bar afterwards. Also, if you don't see any seats in the bar area, go to the left of the bar and you'll see another section. I never went in, but I spotted it when I left through the alley exit.

Pathetic. Arrived with a going away party with a small group of 5 coworkers. Upon arrival the bartender was beyond rude. Anxious to take our order, flat out said, if u dont order, im kicking u out. People really need to know how mean the staff is. I would leave no stars, but its not an options. I have to say if that bartender hates her job, she should quit! We were kind, patient and typical customers . This establishmeht should be ashamed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice pub atmosphere, with a few muted TV's to watch sports if you'd like but easily ignored if you're there to talk with friends or sip your beer and read. There's a wide choice of beers, and unlike many places these days they have many that are NOT IPAs. The fish and chips were really surprisingly good, better than I remember from a year or two ago. I'll be back!

This pub has happy hour and lunch beers written all over it. Good place to come in, grab some pub food and just chill out. We came in around 5 pm on a Wednesday and there was space to sit at the bar and nice tables by the window and in the back. And they have gluten-free beer! Just a heads up: it's a $10 minimum charge on credit cards so treat yourself to that extra pint or basket of fries.

Saturday, June 6th, 5:30pm. My first ever One-Star Review. I hate writing negative things about a business. I take exactly no pleasure from sharing this experience. But, I will say this: If you're a tourist, go find someplace better. Almost any place in this neck of the woods is better. If you're a local, form your own opinions - I'll just add my two cents. About once a month, I have to work on a Saturday. Murphy's is on my way home and is one of the first options for a beer and a little TV to unwind. I've probably been in about two dozen times (even pre-dating Yelping). They have a reasonable selection of beers, and usually a good mix of locals and visitors. I've never had their food. Their beer is on the expensive side, but they have Little Sumpin', which is my go-to. But, I realize that it's my own complacency that led to my return visits. In my experience, the service has always been pretty luke-warm. There is one bartender who seems friendly, but overall it's never better than adequate. Today they were pretty busy, although, not exactly wall-to-wall. I grabbed my seat at the bar, and went about my normal routine of checking Yelp, texts, e-mail, scores, etc. Five minutes go by. Nothing. Ten. Nothing. By this time I'm realizing people there are quite a few empty seats at the bar, and that people who have arrived after me are getting served. Fifteen. Nothing. BTW - There are two bartenders and a manager, and only one seemed to be running around. None seem happy. I'm pretty sure bartender number two was serving a private party, although she definitely made drinks for others at the bar. Manager seems to be helping out, but is pretty ho hum. By now, I'm paying attention. 20 minutes. Nothing. Now manager is standing at the end of the bar taking in the scene and chatting. I don't like giving negative feedback, but at 22 minutes (I know because of my check-in), I just can't let this one go. I walked over to the Manager and made sure that was his role. Me: I hate to give negative feedback, but I've been sitting at the bar for 22 minutes and haven't been greeted. MGR: Oh. What can I get for you? Me: I think I'm just going to leave. MGR: Sorry to hear that. Indifference. I will tell you, the slightest bit of sincere acknowledgement would have been enough. Restaurants have bad days. People have bad days. If you're a Manager in the Service Industry though, you better have high standards for Service. Someone waiting at the bar for 22 minutes without a hello, followed by a non-apology is not that. Things add up. Luke-warm service at best. Over-priced beer that usually comes a half-inch low. Filthy bathrooms every time I've been there. Manager who's service is poor setting the standards for service. I'll let you judge whether to trust the freshness of the food, the sanitary conditions of the kitchen/staff, and whether or not another service lapse may be in the mix. I won't be back to find out. The place wasn't all that great to begin with. My Yelp Check-In said: "Work Saturday Over - Fun Saturday Getting Started". It was correct. Just 25 minutes too early. My advice is to keep on walking to Irish Times like I did after I left. It was busy, but I had an immediate hello, beer in less than three minutes and got to unwind to hockey while writing this review.

The chicken pot pie is the bees knees even though it is a little bit on the small side. It is paired with a really good salad that is topped with a vinaigrette that is not over powering but emphasizes the flavors of the pie really well. Really awkward way of ordering in my opinion and closing out the tab where there are no table runners but hey what can you do? The service is friendly and establishment is clean. Come check it out.

Sweet little spot to stop in and get a drink. Love the wall decor and whiskey selections! Lenny was our bartender and super nice. Didn't have any food here but we enjoyed a few drinks for the evening. Will definitely stop back in next time in downtown!

It's a bar alrhough I must agree with rhe comments about the woman bartender she is rude and has an attitude the first 2 times I was here. The 5 star is for our woman Server last Thursday night when we had a send off get together party of 10 ish peeps. Happy hour food is good, cant complain. Will come back but will definitely not sit at the bar to be waited on by that rude bartender.
