Nice neighborhood bar. Pricing is good...not cheep, not expensive. The men's room was beyond disgusting - not clean - very smelly. My turkey sandwich smothered with gravy was made with shaved turkey sandwich meat - not what I expected, but acceptible....ish. My friends all liked their food... so that is good. One thin nj they did well ous that all three food (six plates) came out at the same time. Not every place is ankle to do that - I consider that a minimum standard. read more

Murph's for lunch? Not if you need to get back to work!!! Too slow! Waitress didn't bring napkins forgot the lemons. Waited 25 min for our BUT once it came the crabmeat sandwich was very good and the pizzas too. read more

Heard the wings here are amazing, but sadly I never got to try them.... Came in on a Monday night about 6:30 and was told it would be 20-30 min for a table as we had a pay of 8. We waited for over an hour beforewe finally got sat without updates or an apology for waiting so long. We ordered almost immediately, a couple of appetizers and then everyone at our table ordered wings as it was 50 cent wing night..... After another hour waiting, we still had no food. (It was busy, but not one person in the dining room had food either. Hmmmm?). Or waitress was absent but we finally tracked her down. .. apps came out shortly after... but again, no updates or apologies for our patience. After another 30 min, we had to track get down again to ask about our food. Her only response was a brusk "kitchen is backed up. Not my fault. " before she hauled ass again. 15 more minutes, we tracked down the manager, who didn't say a word after we explained wed been waiting almost 2 hours for food, but promptly headed into the kitchen. He came back out but never came back to the table, never offered and apology, nothing. We left at the 2 hour mark. Bottom line: terrible service. Don't even bother. read more

Sadly the end of an era for me and my family! Being Irondequoit residents we have been to Murph's several times at both their old location as well as the new location in Herrema's plaza and have had many good dinners but definitely not tonight! I took my wife and granddaughter out for a birthday dinner and thought she would enjoy a good Friday night fish fry as we have had there before. Instead what she got tonight was a tiny piece of broiled fish that was the size of a store bought fish stick with about a dozen cold French fries for $16! I got a beer battered fish fry which was okay but my dozen French fries were also cold & soggy like they had been sitting around for quite awhile. My granddaughter got the pizza roll appetizer which consisted of 5 tiny rolls for $10...$2 per roll! I complained to our server which is something I never do but this terrible meal was just more than I could tolerate. She apologized and took $5 off my bill which was still $49 for a table of crappy food. Used to be a good place to get a good meal but, like other reviewers have written, it is just a locals bar and you can see that their focus has shifted from good food, good service, and a good value for your dollar to just another bar that makes more money selling drinks and beer and could care less about customer service & satisfaction....so sad and disappointing but will not be going back anymore! read more

Best wings in New York State. I dream about these wings when I'm in NYC. Get them well done. Crispy & delicious:) read more

Glad Murphs reopened but he should have considered extra bartenders when the Coupe de Villes we're playing. I thought I wasn't getting waited on because I am female and not a regular read more

Went to Murphs for their .50 cent wing night. The wait time was quite long however I do not fault them for that as many people must of thought quite highly of them. The owner was very nice and personable. I noticed him going around and helping his staff along with asking us as we were waiting if he could get us some drinks. He got us some sodas and didn't charge us for it as we were waiting. I ordered the firecracker wings, they were amazing. The wait time was pretty high but again, with that many people that is no fault of the restaurant. Really enjoyed the friendly staff, amazing owner, and classic feel of a Rochester pub. 5 stars from me! read more

Murph's Irondequoit Pub - Ordered the firecracker wings. Asked they be burnt at least 25 minutes. They were amazing. - Pubs Near Me - Rochester, New York

Ate in on a Sunday with a live band playing. Pretty cool tunes and it's a typical pub with a really decent menu. I had the crab cakes with roulade sauce, nachos with chile covered in cheddar cheese and mild chicken wings. Service was excellent. It wasn't very busy. The crab cakes were near burnt on the outside and Luke warm on the inside. Didn't finish after a half one. The nachos were soggy and soft on the bottom the chili was cold and the melted cheddar cheese had cooled to the point where is was a mass of hard cheese on top. The chicken wings were PERFECT. They were piping hot crunchy and sopping with the perfect mix of hot sauce. What they do right are wings. And I'm pretty sure if you ask they will reheat your food. Will is go back? Yup. The wings were worth it. read more

Great Local Place for Wings - HOME of the Special: Pitcher Beer + 25 Wings - $20. Plenty of Sports on TV, Music, Pool Table, Bar with a Separate Dining Area. Service is Always Good, Owner on the Premises, (That's WHY It Operates Well.) A Very Comfortable Place to Enjoy a Night Out. Full Menu at a Reasonable Price. read more

I've been to Murph's a few times, but tonight was the first time I had their food. Wings and nachos were excellent, and their beer/booze selection is every bit as good as anything near my neck of the woods. We met the titular Murph, owner of the place, and he was very friendly and even offered to get us our drinks, as it's a busy Friday and our waitress was slammed. She was also very good and extremely patient. I will definitely come back here every time I go to Rochester. read more

Half time at Murph's was delicious. Sweet and sour meatball, vegetable and Cheese and crackers, pizza, artichoke dip with nacho dips and chocolate chip cookies. Thank you Murph! Super Bowl Sunday. read more

Murph's Irondequoit Pub - 7&7 drink - Pubs Near Me - Rochester, New York

Murph's on Titus was a great place. Great bar, great food, great atmosphere. Murph's moves.. Still a great bar with great food. That said.. Great attracts crowds the new place's square footage and staff aren't equipped to keep up with at times. It gets crowded. Not enough places to sit.. Tough to get waited on quickly by no fault to the staff. Glad they are doing so well. Just be patient when you go. read more

Came in on a Tuesday at noon, were the only customers in restaurant ordering food. Ordered two burgers, two salads, and a quesadilla. After 45 minutes, still had not received food or have refills on drinks offered. We asked for food to come to the table in to go containers, as we only had an hour for lunch. Waitress suggested that in the future we call and order take-out instead of dine in if we have less than an hour and a half for lunch. Meals arrived, not to order. Bathroom disgusting, no lock on stall door. read more

Had the "Classic Ruben" and it was a major disappointment! Menu description claims plenty of sauerkraut and that's all it was. I struggled to find the corned beef (used a magnifying glass and tweezers). Rename it the "Classic Sauerkraut" I would never order it again. Service was great! read more

Came here on a Friday night with a party of three. We were seated fast. I was craving a fish fry but I was informed that they had stopped serving it at ten pm. So instead I got the clam chowder which was delicious and the sweet and sour wing which are a MUST! It's a nice chill bar with music of all genres if you just want a beer some pub food and relax to some music this is a must on any night of the week! read more

Murph's Irondequoit Pub - Dining room and bar. - Pubs Near Me - Rochester, New York

Anytime I get back to Rochester I make a point to hightail it to Murph's. Besides having arguably the best Buffalo wings I've ever had, Anchor Bar included, their Friday Fish Fry is the best in all western New York. For a real treat try the Meat Hot Sauce; it goes with just about anything. It is especially tasty over their macaroni salad and tater tots. Throw in great ambience, the gracious hospitality shown by the Murphy family and the live music and you will understand why it's my go-to for a quintessential upstate joint. read more

Amazing food,cheap drinks, great owners, always friendly and comfortable environment. Best bar/pub in town. Great for family's, corporate events, happy hours, late night eats, music lovers, and more. 5 stars ! read more

I will admit, that there new location is a significant improvement from the old location, but Murph's still has it's issues. First of all, the food wasn't that great. I expected better from a popular pub in the region. Two, the cleanliness of the restaurant wasn't great, with a very dim atmosphere, not what I typically look for, and three, the restaurant was so ridiculously busy that we couldn't even get into the front entryway. I don't think I would try this place again. read more

Great new location opening day was awesome. Food was good and the entertainment was great new pub was nice

Love the new place. Clean ,bright, lots of parking. Had a great lunch on opening day.Generous portions of good food at reasonable prices along with friendly people. Will certainly return soon to try some other things on their broad menu. read more

Went back to get some wings for takeout and had a not-so-great experience. I called ahead to try and order, but no one ever picked up. I ended up calling a total of 12 times (see picture) as I drove there and ended up just going inside and ordering. The phone would just ring and ring and ring. Two of the times I called I got a busy signal, which means that they were picking up the phone. Called back and got through and once again it just rang and rang. So I finally get the wings, get to my friends house three minutes down the road, and there was no sauce on the wings - totally different from last time, where they were absolutely doused in sauce. The box they came in had a little bit of sauce on the bottom, but the wings themselves were dry and clearly not tossed in sauce. Overall they were just OK this time - nowhere near as great as last time. I opened the box as soon as I got in the car so they wouldn't get soggy on the drive home, but they were still a little chewy. Couldn't tell if it was from being undercooked or from sitting too long. Also, The menu says $8.99 per 10 wings - I was charged $9.99. I bought 20 - the $2 doesn't bother me really, it's the fact that I only got 18. read more

Visited the new Murph's for dinner tonight. After ordering burgers and a Buffalo wing appetizer, the waitress told us the wings would take at least 20 minutes. We didn't want them with our dinner, so opted to just get burgers .. a french onion burger and a rueben burger. They both looked great upon delivery, but sadly both were not medium as ordered, and both were extremely dry. The side salad with my burger was very small. It wasn't very busy when we arrived (5:30 Sunday), but service was quite slow. We'll probably return to try the wings, but on the $12 burgers. read more

The neighbors said it was a great place to eat and drink...so I finally checked it out. Wing nights are Monday and Saturday, so with $20 in your pocket you can get a pitcher of beer (premium micro brews are just $2 extra) and 20 wings. Not a bad deal! My review is solely based on service and selection of food and drink...I did not eat there the day I visited. The atmosphere was chock full of "townies" and the bartender, Adam, was incredibly friendly, polite, and welcoming. I will definitely go back! read more

I went to Murph's today for lunch at noon with four colleagues to celebrate my birthday. We were the only patrons in the restaurant ordering food, and after 45 minutes, had to ask the server to pack our food to-go as we needed to get back to work. The server responded by saying she would give me their phone number so that we could order food ahead of time in the event that we only had an hour/hour and a half for lunch. Once we all arrived back to work we realized that none of us were provided with plastic eating utensils, and found multiple issues with our order. If you're looking for a place to sit down and eat lunch within an hour/hour and a half window (celebrating a birthday or not), this is not the place to go. read more

Went to Murphy's Friday night for the fish fry. Best deal in town. Great beer selection too. Looking forward to my favorite band this Saturday night. Bottletrain is always great especially when Murph gets up there with them. read more

Instead of my usual hot wings with firecracker sauce on the side, which are amazing, I opted this time to stray from the shining path and try the honey cajun wings. What a mistake. Nice trademark crispy wing, but that it where it ended. The wings were literally swimming in a pool of honey with some cajun seasoning sprinkled in. I was thinking of honey as an add in, not THE sauce. Yuck, sickly sweet and a sticky mess. ...what was I thinking. And the Brooklyn draft I ordered tasted horrible...like the lines needed cleaning or something. Bad experience. I am going to have to stick to bottled beer at Murph's from now on, or order something that flows more regularly because that beer was not fresh at all. And when I mentioned it and didn't finish it, no attempt was made to rectify. Not a surprise. Service has never been a high point there. read more

I love this place, for a pub having fresh baked pita and hummus is awesome. The specials are awesome, everyone is friends, and the food is just plain good. Maybe I've watched too much "Bar Rescue", but my only complaint is the place needs a bit of an update, like cleaning the ceiling vents. read more

Not a bad little spot for some fun music and great bar fare....Ample parking and a nice staff of folks to serve you....Live music on the weekends and open mic nights.... read more

Murph's did a great job on the remodel. Can't say the same for the rest. Came in for dinner at 5:20. It's 5:45. No drinks yet. Observed 2 people walk out. Service was spotty at old location. It's nonexistent here No manager in sight. I had really hoped it would have gotten better here. This location has a history of failing restaurants. If Murph's doesn't get its act together soon, it will suffer the same fate. read more

Best wings I've had in awhile. Really nice people working here and fun to watch football and drink beer.

Food always very good, but the kitchen wait times have gotten real bad. Murph would've been upset had he been there tonight. A large table got up and left because their food took way long. We felt bad for the poor waitress, because it wasn't her fault. 8/11/15 7:00pm read more

Love the fact Murphs is still around (for now) . The wing special is always a smart idea. Great bartenders . Recently I ordered a burger. The tomato on it was about the size of a half dollar! And was missing 2 ingredients On it that I had asked for when placing the order. I'd understand if it was busy but there were only two other tables and ordered a half hour after we did! Murphs is a great man and I will always support this establishment but I just wish the food service was a tad better read more

Went there last night for the first time. Feels like your classic 1960s neighborhood pub. Had some amazing wings. As per the bartender's recommendation i ordered the Dino wings. They are not on the menu but are some of Rochester's best. Will be going back.... read more

Worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant!!! It took five minutes to be acknowledged by a hostess. Ordered our food-waited a half an hour before the waitress checked in and THEN offered us bread and butter. 15 more minutes goes by and we call her over to ask how much longer. She checks and tells us it will be another ten minutes. Got up to leave at that point-asked for the manager and he never came out. read more

Was told no one under 21 is allowed in the restaurant after 8. Have been eating here since they were established and have never been treated so poorly. The security guard escorted me and my family out of the establishment. Have never been so embarrassed. Boo hiss. read more

THE BEST wings in Rochester. Cajun dry rub is fantastic. Great service, chill atmosphere, live music, tvs, - we love this place!

Terrible! I walk in, sit at the open spot at the bar, 11pm when it is packed on 50 cent wing night during Monday night football. A lot of people eating wings, including the bartender, which must be why it took her over 5 minutes to even take my order. I ordered a beer and wings, but was told the kitchen was closed. 5 minutes later, I saw a couple dozen wings and other food come out for some other probably regulars. Terrible service...terrible bar tending. Never gain. Avoid this dump at all costs. read more

Just ordered takeout from Murph's. The bun is spotted with mold and I was lucky enough to receive a pickle with bite marks in it. I guess we're done with this place. It used to be good, but I would stay far away now. read more

came here with a group, and Liz gave us a tone right from the start. she is extremely rude, and condescending, wouldn't even take our name down, and barely looked at us when we asked questions. she kept telling us "i don't know what to tell you." sure the food is great, but needs a new hostess. read more

I worked at this place back in the 60's when it was the Towne Lounge. I live in Florida now. Stopped in and met Murph and told him my story. He took my on a tour of the place. What memories! Thanks, Murph. read more
