Sat at the bar and enjoyed a great cider donut cider from Downeast Cider. So very good. Had the Bang Bang Shrimp with a side of Brussels Sprouts with Bacon. Lots of bacon! Should be named the bacon with Brussel Sprouts. Chicken sandwich was also very good! Lots of beer choices. Check it out read more

Great place they messed up my food but they made it right Very nice and happy they did the best job making everyone happy Thx a lot Murphy read more

We were passing through the area on the freeway and wanted lunch, so Yelp directed us into Sidney to Murphy's. It was about 100 times better than settling for the fast-food options near the freeway. We had burgers and truffle fries. The burgers were flavorful and cooked to a perfect medium rare. The truffle fries were crisp, well seasoned, and had enough truffle flavor to stand out without overpowering the meal. What made the stop especially memorable was the contrast between old and new. Downtown Sidney feels like stepping into another era, with historic storefronts and the beautiful courthouse anchoring the center of town. Murphy's, by comparison, feels modern, clean, and updated inside. You get the charm of an old small-town setting with good food, comfortable surroundings, and friendly service. read more

I'm giving 2 stars because the server was good and tried her best. The cocktails were good and they got them out fast. However, I have no idea how the food was because we left before it arrived. We waited at least 45 minutes, and rarely saw food leave the kitchen. We never got ours before we got too hangry and just left. The kitchen must be a hot mess and I never saw a manager to talk to. This was after we had waited 20 minutes for a table, even though three were open. It took them 20 minutes to clear them off to seat people. Either there is not enough staff or they just don't work efficiently. read more

We love Murphy's. Great place to hang with friends or family. Their cocktails are next level deliciousness! Staff are friendly.

We stopped for lunch with hopes of great food. What we got was an almost hour wait and cold food because there had been a large party. We almost left before the food came but the server said ours was next up. It had been sitting there for some time waiting to be served as it was cold, the bun dry. We were given the excuse that the kitchen didn't have a large enough grill etc. Okay then why accept large parties if you can't keep up with all customers? I would have likely been less disappointed if they had offered to take money off the bill or something of the sort. But nothing. Almost $34 for two cold sandwiches with cold fries as we only had water to drink. Not impressed. read more

Great drinks, great food, great vibes! We stopped in when we were in town for a wedding looking for some good food and drinks the night before! This hit everything we were looking for! read more

What a great place! We sat inside, but there was places to dine outside that were great. We both ordered a local beer and I ordered the crispy chicken wrap and my spouse ordered the sliders with fries. Great service. No long waits, server was pleasant. Our dinners were fine.

This was our first time visiting this establishment, immediately upon entering, we all commented on how much we loved the vibe of this craft bar. Due to having a large party, we made reservations and were sat immediately. Our friendly server was prompt in greeting us, immediately brought over several carafes of water and then took our drink orders right away. This place offers a great selection of beers (making my husband and son very happy). I enjoyed a delicious gin drink "Bees Knees". Some of the wine drinkers in our group were a little disappointed since they were out of some of the wine selections but ended up ordering a beer and enjoyed the selection. Within our large group we ordered the wraps (southwest and Caesar), the Bang Bang tacos (shrimp) and several burgers (Wagyu sliders and pretzel smash). Everything was really good, burgers looked great and my husband said the tacos were very tasty. For our sides, most of us ordered the fries (both regular and sweet potato) and we all agreed tasted great! I did take off one star, it appeared as if there was only one server for the table section of the restaurant. There seemed to be several staff members behind the bar and one did help deliver drinks when needed. The expo was helpful as well when we needed some additional napkins. As busy as our server was, she always had a smile on her face and didn't seem stressed at all. With that being said we may have waited a bit longer but we were not in a hurry enjoying the evening. I do appreciate that with our large party they didn't rush us and kept checking to see if we needed anything. Although we are only staying in town for a short time, we would definitely love to go back again if we could! read more

Warning if you are going there with a large group. They do not tell you up front that large groups get one check and they will not split it up. We had 15 people and the bill was $495. I along with others do not carry cash. The waitress said I don't know what to tell you but it is your on the menu. If it is, it is small print that I didn't see. And if you have large groups why not tell them that to begin with. My spouse even said when we were ordering that our bill was together and she never said a word. I will never go back there. It is a shame they do that for gratuity, I always tipped more than what they calculate anyway so they are missing out. read more

Delicious food, good vibes and service, and great beer selection! We had the chicken capesar wrap, chilli, and ribeye sliders with bacon Brussels sprouts as a side! read more

We ate here on Saturday 6/20/25 The food was great. we ordered sandwiches, the server said we get a side dish With our meal. My husband got onion Rings and I got a Cesar salad. After we order for some reason another server took over. THE BILL ARRIVED.. we were charged 3.50 (7.00) for our sides. I complained, the server argued with me stating I should have known. we chose the premium sides. Really? It's too bad we thought we found a fun place to go. I'm not a cheapskate but don't mislead me. No where on the menu did it state the premium sides were 3.50 Extra No where on the menu did it state you get a side but only standard. 1) poor training 2) poor menu 3) poor customer resolution read more

Wife and I passing through found Murphys and enjoyed i. Blackened chicken tacos combination of sauce/white cheddar and crunchy onions was very good. Pretzel burger was a darn good burger. I would order it again. Truffle fries were perfect. No dipping sauces needed! read more

Nice selection of beer on tap, although the selections seem somewhat random Instead of balanced across types of beer. Service was good and friendly. The food is good for a bar but not for a kitchen. A restaurant this size should have options for people with food allergies. Even very simple things like corn shells for their taco entrees and gluten free buns. For this restaurant to grow, they will need to consider these customers when making menu decisions. I have to add to this review, Kiersten is a shining star here, excellent customer experience skills and out of the box thinking on making the restaurant more successful. From this second interaction with this restaurant, it seems the Indians are more "I'm-tuned" with the customers, than the chiefs. My advice to the owners of Murphy's, listen to your front line, they know how to succeed in a small town! If you don't I'll be happy to buy you out read more

Good food and quick friendly service. Would recommend. If you want a mixed drink to cool off they make very nice ones.

Wow. What a surprise! Great food and service. Chicken Cesar wrap, truffle fries and asparagus was perfect. Great atmosphere. Nice bar area and relaxing environment. Highly recommend. read more

We randomly found this place on our way home from vacation. Tempura green beans EXCELLENT! Ribeye sliders and fries and burgers and salads stellar! Everything was delicious! Highly recommend! And great music! Great atmosphere!!! read more

Love Murphy's for drinks and a quick bite. They used to have bar bacon on the menu, and that would alone bring me in! Great beer options, limited bar beyond that, but a nice menu if you want to grab a meal in a fun environment. read more

I had a barbecue, hickory, bacon, burger with Gouda cheese. The bacon was not hickory flavored when I pulled the bun off. It looked like they put very little barbecue sauce on the bun like you would see at McDonald's a couple little dabs. The burger it's self replies was really good. The bun was a putter bun little too greasy for my tasting. . The sweet potato, waffle fries the pictures looked a lot better than they tasted . read more

I was so glad to try this place! There are not a lot of places to sit and relax at in Sindey so we were surprised to find this gem. It is right across the court house in downtown so it is a great location to explore. I loved the Kentucky blueberry mule that I tried from Tap. It was so tasty and unique. The nachos we're delicious though I feel like there wasn't enough cheese. The Nashville hot chicken was a dry even with their house-made Hot sauce. It was a bit hard to eat and then i was charged when I asked for ranch. I enjoyed the atmosphere; it feels local and cozy. Our server was nice but I think she was the only one working at the time with 10+ tables so service was a bit slow. Everything is fresh and clean at this restaurant. A must-try for this area! read more

Really good place. Great beer selection and good, healthy food options. Would definitely come back. It's located in the square amongst some of the other nice restaurants. They have a lovely patio too. I tried the Nashville hot Mac and cheese, and I'm not a huge fan of Mac and cheese. This was very good, and it was recommended by our server. Till next time. read more

4 of us stopped in for dinner, it's really good and I'll be back. The beer selection is extensive and unusual. Very cool. Ask the servers for advice, they got this. I had the classic burger with an egg on it and the broken bacon Brussel sprouts. I asked that it be cooked medium , it was. However, the egg was broken and fully cooked. Why? Who would order an egg on a burger and want it cooked hard? Next time I will remember to ask for the egg to be cooked sunny side up. The Brussel sprouts were great, especially with the sauce. Service was fast and very helpful. It gets a recommend and it's worth a trip to Sidney! read more

Classic downtown feel. Good service, and selection of craft beers was my first experience . Cheers read more

There was a mix up in our order, and we left after an hour without our meal. I understand that things can happen, my biggest gripe is that there was no effort to make amends. While the waitress was apologetic, the manager should've comped our drinks, or at least made an apology himself. read more

Stopped in here for lunch and a brew. Had 42 beers on tap to choose from. Picked a Melvin Citradamas, a double IPA, which complimented my order of Fish & Chips, very well. The beer was excellent. The fish & chips were awesome. The fish was two fillets, lightly batter, deep fried perfectly - no oil residue. Fries were perfect. The cole slaw was a vinegarett based of fresh green and red cabbage with a light seasoning. I would definitely return here to try different menu options. read more

Really nicely decorated pub. Staff was very nice. Food was not very good. We had a large party of 16 and reserved the party room. Our host waitresses left early and bar maids and bussers tried to keep up with our food orders and drinks. The burgers were ok but any dish that contained chicken (Caesar salad, street tacos...) were inedible. The chicken had a strange metallic taste and we were afraid to eat it. I would go back there for a drink and a burger but never again with a large party. read more

Pros: Good Beer, Good Pretzel Bread Sticks, and pretty good service. Cons: Their Burgers are awful! I've had them a couple times. The patty has no flavor. Their bacon was fried to a crisp with no flavor. The bun was dense and made the overall burger hard to want to eat. read more

Great place on the square in Sidney. Food was great! I had the shrimp tacos with sweet potato fries. Loved the blend of flavors in the tacos. We sat outdoors to enjoy the evening air and ordered cocktails. My husband had the New York Sour and I had the Molokai Mule both very good and not watered down. Server was very nice and helpful. read more

Staff acted like they were doing us a favor, and were impatient, even though we were nearly alone in the place. Ordered the "Hangover Burger," which came in a puddle of grease (necessitating a fork), and the patty itself was so well done, it felt like eating a hockey puck. I took two bites, put the burger across the table, and that didn't apparently generate any curiosity from our server, even after we declined a box. My daughter's kids meal was the usual fare, and the beer list is fine. read more

My family loved everything they ordered, and I think the pretzel appetizer was the best I've ever had. Waiters were super nice, and the lighting was calming and cozy. read more

The bar staff are very friendly, the drinks are a good price, and the food is good. It is also a pleasant place to be.

Awesome find in Sydney Ohio while in town for the Eldora Kings Royal!!! Awesome local craft beer and cocktails. Great Burger + Mac & Cheese. Definitely recommended Will be back!!! read more

made a reservation for 10 at 6:00. We confirmed the reservation over the phone and was told everything was good to go. We arrive and are told we have to be out by 7. I'm sorry but that is the most unprofessional thing I've heard. I will enjoy my meal else where and take a huge tab somewhere else. You guys missed out on some good money and business due to your dishonesty. read more

Decided to dine in at Murphys tonight... I brought few family members with me today after a very long trip and we waited for an hour and a half in an almost empty restaurant. Once seated we were informed that we would have to be gone within the hour because they had another party coming in for a reservation. WOW!! I have never experienced anything like this. We received our food Luke warm and not cooked all the way through and the manager refused to speak with any of us at the request. I absolutely am in shock that this is how they believe they should treat their customers. I will not be coming back read more

Love that place because of atmosphere and service, not big variety of food, but burgers are great and beers as well! Recommend and we also met come there every time a while read more

BEWARE Most beers are price $6.00 - $7.00.......about average for a craft beer bar. I wasn't sure what I wanted so I ordered a flight, so that I could sample a few of them. When I got the bill they charged $17.00 for the flight ! WHAT, totally absurd !! Most places would be $6.00 - $8.00 for a flight of 4 small beers. Heck, I could have order 3 full size beers for about the same price. They should have warning signs posted about the rip off for the flights ! read more

Visually, on the outside, the restaurant is very pleasing and modern looking. Inside, it is very industrial looking with very poor & loud acoustics. The tables and chairs are uncomfortable to say the least. The food is poor quality. I had the Broccoli Mac & Cheese that was supposed to have Pablo bread crumbs but there were no bread crumbs but did have 4 big chunks of tomatoes to top. The broccoli didn't taste fresh and the cheese sauce tasted very synthetic. The sweet potato tots had a weird sugary coating on them. Everything tastes as though you could get it from the budget section of the frozen food isle in the grocery store. I won't be back. read more
