Friendly owners with live music some nights. Had a great time, up beat atmosphere and the food is good....

WOW!!! Vena greeted us and caused us to decide immediately to stay and dine here after checking out 4 other restaurants in this area! Her daughter Caitlyn is very attentive to detail! Reuben was delicious and the side of coleslaw was ever more delicious! Shepard's pie very wonderfully made and tasted tremendous! Potato soup in bread bowl was tasty and sour dough bread top was toasted! Highly recommend and would absolutely return. read more

We stopped by while in town visiting Murphy's, Ca. We ordered a round of beers for our group. There was a guy playing music and was an excellent one man band. Patrons were friendly and we had danced a few songs. Three of us ladies went to use restroom and we always go in a pack...that's just what us girls do in our group wherever we are. One friend gets high anxiety visiting a restroom she's never been in. I was in restroom first and then the other two had followed. A tall lady with tats came from back and stopped one of my friends and said only one at a time. When the female employee walked away, my friend knocked on door and I let her in. All of the sudden someone starts banging on door and the whole bathroom shook from her banging so hard on the door. I talked through the door saying, yeah, just a minute." This hard banging happened two more times with me replying the same thing and no one ever said a word on the other side, just kept banging. We took all but 7-8 minutes in this one toilet bathroom. We opened the door and the tall Tat girl was there telling a worker, "Close out their tab and escort thto the door, they can follow the bathroom rules I told them!" read more

Came here for a cocktail and their baileys panini. Hella bomb! Definitely recommend coming to try it. read more

Murphys Irish Pub - Irish Pub Near Me - Murphys, California

So - to start off, I adore Murphys. I think it's the prime spot for a little getaway or just a nice night on the town. That being said... the Irish pub has become the place I want to go to.. always. With the new management takeover at the end of February this year... I can't tell you how much my view has changed. Brandy (the new owner) and her girls (Misty and Lexi to name a few) are the most hospitable people around leaving you feeling so well taken care of that it's an experience you want to have over and over. They have been introducing new specials - like Irish nachos.. ridiculously amazing - as well as having fun with different beer concoctions (last week they did a pb&j beer (belching beaver peanut butter stout and indigent blackberry) - not something I would have thought of but something that literally blew my mind.) If you're ever in Murphys, you have to stop by and try their Reuben or chicken panini and end your meal with their dessert - Nutella panini with home made cinnamon sugar whipped cream.. if I'm not mistaken! You will NOT be disappointed.. but you will be left with a full belly and a multitude of good vibes! read more

We love the Murphys Irish Pub - a major fixture in our magical village! Thursday evenings are extra special. Locals night with local musicians live. Good Irish pub grub and a fabulous variety of beers and local wines. read more

So good! The best shepherds pie. There's soo many wine options around so it's nice to have some beer options

Customer service is superb in this place. The owners went 10 miles more for us. Their food was great too! Ordered almost all on the menu. Some in our group ordered their white wine tasters, i had cabernet. Make your Murphys experience a pleasant one. Do wine tasting with them and you'll have an unforgettable experience. read more

The management at this restaurant is amazing! I am a vegan, and we came in to make a reservation and to ask if they had any vegan options, and unfortunately they didn't. The manager, however, went back to the kitchen and asked the chef what he could do, and he made a variation on their vegetarian pot pie that was TO DIE FOR. Often times, to accommodate vegans, restaurants offer pretty boring options, but the Murphys Hotel went above and beyond. 10/10 would recommend. And come back! read more

Excellent place to hang out for happy hour and dinner. Great staff and reasonable prices with music!

Excellent food and service! Had the delicious Mac & Cheese and a glass of local Chardonnay. Restaurant was very clean, service was excellent and the prices were great! As a local I think I have found my new favorite place to eat! read more

Went to this place on a friday night and was excited for the live music. The bar was really crowded which seemed like a good sign. My friends and I ordered beers and I asked my husband to get me a Founder's which is normally a stout. When he handed it to me and it turned out to be a cider, I was very disappointed. He went back to the bartender and explained that I accidentally ordered the wrong drink and wanted to trade it for something I would enjoy. The bartender was extremely rude and told him that we were stuck with what I ordered and if I wanted a stout I would have to pay extra for it. I've never had a bartender be so unwilling to make their customer happy. read more

It is flat out amazing what this pub can turn out with such a tiny kitchen. Great cottage pie (beef not lamb) and the pretzels are always a hit with my son. Magners on tap is always a plus. The energy is friendly and it is a great spot for locals, especially Mondays where you can bring your own LP's to play. read more

Nice pub & good food. Lucy's Lavender Lemonade is good after an afternoon of wine tasting. ...But I prefer a perfectly poured Guinness. :-)

Ordered nachos and literally waited one hour for them...had two rounds waiting, would have been nice to have had the nachos with the drinks. The excuse was that the convection oven is small..,.Really? Advice: buy a larger oven to accommodate your patrons read more

I will say this place definitely took me by surprise, if the courteous and fast service wasn't enough, the food was phenomenal, I came here with a few friends to grab a quick bite, we quickly ended up ordering half the menu to share and I will say we were all THRILLED with what we got, the bread is sooo fresh! The pretzels are amazing and the meat and cheese plate was perfectly paired with some great made in house sauces, the home made broccoli cheese soup was AMAZING on the brisk winter day, this place is a MUST if you are in murphys! read more

Murphys Irish Pub - Irish Pub Near Me - Murphys, California

Had the Bangers and Mash for lunch. Moderately priced. Excellent preperation and presentation. Superb flavor and perfect portion size. 85% of pub food in the UK is pretty bad and consequently I have low expectations for "pub food." So I was very pleasantly surprised and happy with my lunch. Had Harp lager and momentarily forgot I was 6000 miles from home. I live here now, but it still happens from time to time. read more

Not only was the food excellent and well priced, wines were good and came with highest quality customer service we experienced during our trip here. If you like pina coladas be sure to order their Smoothie version. And the cheese platter was superb read more

Good service, nice atmosphere, excellent grilled cheese! I came here with my grandma and she ordered the Shepard's pie. She enjoyed it but thought it was a little dry. I'd come back for the grilled cheese alone. read more

Fun bar with great live music! Enjoyed lemon lady drinks and Irish iced coffees. Consider getting the iced Irish coffee the homemade whipped cream with Nutella was crave worthy! Nibbled on some wonderful soft pretzels dipped in a homemade cheese sauce. Great place! Super fun! We enjoyed our servers sense of humor and was checked on by each employee! read more

An Irish Pub in Murphys! So glad to have Irish Pub food as an option. They just opened on Sunday. Nice decor. Irish tunes. Irish beers. Limited menu, hoping to see some home cooked Corned Beef and cabbage and Reuben sandwiches, perhaps a lamb stew. Good service was by Jessica, the owner. She was busy keeping tables covered and pouring beers. Food was good - not great. Split the Shepherds Pie and Bangers and Mash. Both had onions which wasn't specified on menu - patrons need to know what is in their food in case of allergies. First week open learning curve. We will be returning. Live music is already on their calendar! read more

This review is for the drinks. We went July 27, 2016. They play great music, but not so loud that we had to yell. Service was great. Our server was friendly and answered our questions. He didn't ask us if we wanted a menu, which was fine. We tried Guinness Nitro IPA for the first time on tap. One word: smooth. I loved it! Hubby wished he had gotten a stout instead :p We asked to sample the hard cider on tap. Awesome! He poured us a generous sample, so I had to grab a pint. Like the beer, the cider was nice and cold. It was perfect. Indigeny Hard Cider, yum. Sweet and tasty. It hit me later. Server warned me it's dangerous. He also told us it was made locally in Sonora, CA and most stores in area carried it. We made sure to grab a few 6 packs before leaving town. Can't find it in our area. read more

The Pub has extremely tasty food. The best musicians play always. Friendly staff and always a fun time. Best place I know of.

Finally, authentic Irish food and drink in a town founded by the Irish! The decor is homey, which I personally enjoy. Not too much on the walls thankfully. I had a banger sandwich and Guinness Stout. Yes, you can get Guinness in Murphys now. The sandwich and accompanying pasta salad was delicious. I cleaned my plate. The service was friendly and unrushed. It's definitely a place to hang with you friends over a pint. Five stars all around! read more

1st time hanging in Murphys (driven thru a dozen times.) The short but to the point menu got our attention. I'm sometimes turned off by the super long menus. The result was pretty amazing. Ordered were the 1) bangers & mash, 2) shepherd's pie, and 3) mac & cheese topped with bacon jam. All three were on point. The four-cheese blend made the m&c awesome. The bacon jam (blended with brown sugar) was a savory bonus. Gravy and bangers tasted fantastic. The mash could've been a little more moist...perhaps that's just my preference. Shepherd's pie was delicious, thankfully, because it's not as large as some. Would've easily been 5 stars but they were out of root beer AND coke. Normally not a big deal but they advertise root beer floats AND coke floats on their menu. One in our group specifically targeted this spot for that reason. Service was attentive and fast. Didn't wait long for food. Beer selection didn't knock our socks off but some decent choices there (Guinness nitro ipa, Smithwicks brown, et al.) Environment was very cool & clean. Almost ate outside at one of their four outdoor tables but it was just too damn hot. Live band was setting up...wouldn't mind catching some tunes next time. Will def return! read more

This place is awesome!! We went in to have a couple of drinks and left wishing we had space in our stomach to try their food! The owner was very nice, the chef was made food that smelled amazing, and the owners best friend (Veena) is the life of the party. I would recommend going and checking this place out! read more
