6/10/26, business trip and I stopped for lunch. Sat at the bar, and the bartenders quickly engaged. Place is awesome, genuine pub with its own character. Brian is the man, great conversation and recommendations. I went with the French Dip. Loved it, quality taste and properly cooked. Would recommend finding a new bread supplier, the roll was a bit overpowering IMO. The sleeper in this place is the Tots! I mean so many places undercook tots, not Murphy's! The tots were crispy but not overcooked. Amazing! Shout out to the kitchen too! Fast, as ordered and delicious. #TryThisPlace #GreatVibe read more

Always a great craic at Murphy's! I love visiting here with my boyfriend, a Providence local, for a pint of Bulmers (magners)! SO happy they carry this beer as I usually only get it when home in Ireland! I love the decor, love the vibes, and your man behind the bar is fantastic! read more

A short walk from the Convention Center. Crowded for Sunday lunch. (We shared a table with 2 diners who'd also attended the Outdoors Show.) I had 1 stuffed clam, a bowl of NE chowder & a burger. Everything was great. This was the BEST lunch I've had in a while. I only wish I didn't live so far away. read more

Stopped by here on Sunday to watch the USA v Canadians Men's Hockey Final. FYI- this bar shows great Premiere League matches and is open early Saturdays and Sundays. It was easy to think that they would have on the game. Nothing has changed. One of the best places in Providence to get a pint of Guinness along with a great breakfast. Opted for the Luna Rueben. Instead of sauerkraut they add coleslaw to your sandwich. Spectacular! Service is great and friendly. Glad some things never change. read more

Wish I took a photo but top 2 best burger I've ever had. I don't know what they do to the meat but it's so simple and incredible. Cooked perfectly medium rare like I asked. Other restaurants never get that right. We also go some bbq wings with ranch. Top notch. Can't wait to come back. read more

Good Reuben, great staff, and delicious drinks! Love the hometown vibes, and the service is just how I like it. Would go back for the food, atmosphere, or just a drink! read more

Spent 4 days in Providence for Flight Sim Expo '25 and this pub was an easy walk from the convention center and my hotel. Very cool pub atmosphere and they were playing AEW on the TVs which was a nice bonus for a casual wrestling fan like me. I was there from around 6 to 8 PM on a Thursday and it definitely got more crowded and louder as the night went on. That is exactly what you want from a pub vibe though. Just do not come here expecting a quiet family dinner like TGIF because it can get pretty rowdy. I had the lobster roll which was fresh and delicious. The margarita I ordered though was pretty meh but that is on me. Spots like this are clearly more about beer than mixed drinks. I just like tequila because it hits faster and knocks me out like a baby. read more

Good local spot popped in on Easter Sunday while passing through town. The fish and chips were OK - had the melt burger which was good not great; the salted caramel old-fashioned was delicious and the cosmopolitan Yum Yum service was efficient but without any fanfare, you won't find any niceties but you will get efficient service as for the is a bar atmosphere. It was vibrant and lively and welcoming read more

We had some trouble finding the entrance, but once we did, everything was great. The servers top notch. They were friendly and helpful. The rotating draft menu was out dated, but the staff was able to make recommendations. The food was delicious across the board. The ambiance was nostalgic. There was great music being played. It will definitely be on the list next time I'm in this area. read more

Murphy's was just okay; it was exactly what we were expecting as a pub to grab a quick bite. The food was just okay - everything was pretty heavy with not a ton of balance or interesting flavors. It feels pretty dark inside, which we honestly expected. Our service was great though! read more

Good. Yea!!! Bartender. Meh. Was slow. My Luna Reuben was amazing! Buffalo chicken dip was one of the best I've had. Lots of shredded chicken and not the little cubes which I hate and fantastic heat. Not too much. But enough. The Reuben egg rolls. Huge! More than meal and looked amazing. Side of fries, enough for a meal! But, steak fries. And I'm not a fan. Great Irish pub. Was a fun place to sit and watch "football". I'll definitely visit again read more

Our first meal while visiting New England was our favorite ! The French onion soup was SO good ! Especially during a cold and rainy day. The poutine fries were the definition of perfect pub food. But the star of the show were the Reuben egg rolls. As a self proclaimed Reuben connoisseur, I was excited by the concept. They were everything we had hoped for and more ! So crispy, so meaty, so cheesy. Lowkey life changing haha The decor was very cool and the vibes were such that it's a must stop during any visit to Providence. A big thank you to Madison as well for the excellent service ! read more

Terrible bar. They wouldn't serve me because my license was out of state even though I'm over 30. Bartender was a super rude man and he was really mean. I would never ever go back. I'd give it zero stars if I could. read more

The food was amazing, it's a little chilly inside but the food and beer help make it warmer

This is a conveniently located, classic Irish Pub with 80s music playing on the TV. We stopped in after the Oddities Expo last weekend. As you can imagine, this spot is walking distance from the convention center, and it was slammed! We were still only waiting about 10 minutes before we got a table. The waitress was the only one working when we arrived, and despite the hustle and bustle, she got it done quickly, with a smile on her face. I personally got the steak tips, they were perfectly prepared and coated in a sweet/tangy sauce! This meal normally comes with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. The waitress let us know she was out of mixed veggies but could substitute it for spinach. Honestly I'm glad they did! The spinach was fresh, tart, and buttery, it really tied the meal together. All in all, I'll definitely be back to try their different styles of Rueban Sandwiches! read more

Early on a Super Bowl Sunday..already busy. Staff coming on and heading out. Food arrived...lots of food. Not the best food but lots of variety. Even before it got busy service was not good. They were very interested in setting up a buffet for the game...not much in serving. I'm going to chalk it up to game day jitters. read more

Took my girlfriend to Providence for the first time and we stopped here for an afternoon lunch. We were both starving and were ready to eat! We were seated promptly and decided on a grilled chicken caesar salad wrap for myself, and a Turkey club sandwich for my girlfriend. I was feeling potato, but not their steak fries, so I got the side of their tots, and my girlfriend got a garden salad with her sandwich. Right off the bat, I want to say that the food was DELICIOUS. The chicken in the wrap was cooked perfectly and was very juicy. The lettuce was fresh and the caesar dressing tasted homemade, and boy, was there a generous amount of it. That is exactly how I like it (no one likes a dry wrap!), so I was very impressed. The tater tots were lightly fried and had a good flavor to them, but I would've preferred them a tiny bit crispier. My girlfriend really enjoyed her Turkey club, and after stealing a few bites I can happily say I did as well. The vinaigrette dressing that came with her salad was on par! We also enjoyed having Malt Vinegar on the table-- which my girlfriend taught me goes on tater tots, so be sure to try that out too! Aside from the food, I honestly was not feeling the layout of the restaurant, as the table placement on the floor felt a bit awkward and it seemed counterproductive for waitstaff that were walking by. Our table was positioned in a way that made the walk way narrower, and I could feel the waiters trying to sneak by my chair every few minutes. Additionally, we came right in the middle of a Bruins game, so it was a bit on the louder side, which is totally acceptable for a sports bar. My last thought is that the payment system surprised me-- I was instructed to scan a QR code and pay virtually through ToastTab, which was efficient, but does not seem like a feasible system for customers of all segments. Overall, Providence success, and we left with our stomachs feeling satisfied!! read more

Definitely an Irish pub. The ambience of the interior like an old saloon. The service was fast and friendly. Was a little warm inside due to the weather but was okay. I ordered a sandwich Italian. Everything was fresh obviously I ordered a beer Irish style , fresh as well. The amenities definitely need some work. read more

This was a great stop for my first time in Providence! My girlfriend and I arrived ravenous and ready for a great lunch, and Murphy's delivered. Our waitress was attentive, and we felt taken care of by multiple members of the waitstaff. The positioning of some of the tables threw me off. There were as many chairs as could be at each table, some of which went a little far into the main dining area. This made it a little difficult to get in and out of our seats and navigate the restaurant, but not a huge deal. The bar was crowded, but there weren't a ton of tables that were full. It has a "seat yourself" policy, which I feel like could make it a little overwhelming. It also seemed like one waitress was in charge of every table, so the process of ordering our drinks to actually receiving them (we just ordered waters), along with ordering our food, seemed to take longer than it should. However, the time between ordering and receiving our food was super quick! We went with a turkey club and a house salad, and a chicken caesar wrap with tater tots. Everything was delicious!! The bread for the club sandwich was flavorful and complemented the sandwich fillings fantastically. The house salad was a great accompaniment. There was a variety of salad dressings to choose; I went with a classic balsamic this time, but I'm curious to try the peppercorn dressing next time. The caesar wrap had great chicken and was jam-packed with caesar salad. The tater tots were AMAZING, perfectly crunchy and paired nicely with the malt vinegar at every table. I'm from the mid-Atlantic originally and have since moved to Boston, and haven't seen malt vinegar anywhere in New England since now -- I loved having it! Murphy's was a great stop in Providence and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone visiting! We will definitely be back next time we're in Providence. read more

Murphy's Providence - Chicken caesar wrap, Turkey Club Sandwich, tater tots, house salad - Irish Pub Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I stopped in for lunch on my way to the train station. They had just opened but already the bar was half full of locals stopping in for a bite or a pint. The service was fast and friendly and the food was hot and fresh. I ordered the turkey club with mustard, and tots. I really liked how they put the tots in a little paper sack. It absorbed any extra oil, kept them crunchy, and prevented any of them from trying to roll away. I believe tots are superior to fries and will always order them if they are on a menu. The club was on point! Thick Italian bread, fresh veggies, salty bacon, and a giant pile of turkey. This was easily two full meals. And like a good club, it came with a toothpick keeping it together so the second half stayed together in my to go container. Even leftover, the sandwich was really good. The portions were huge, the waitress was charming, and she brought me a little ramekin of homemade pickles that were awesome. read more

Lovely cozy vibe, nice service, and good food and drinks! I had a delicious dirty martini with Hendricks gin. They brought out some pickles to start- I am a sucker for some good pickles!

Don't go if you only have 1 person. (I travel for work and it was across the street from my hotel) Waited over 30 mins and watched 4 tables of 2 get called before me. Finally asked and the hostess said "I need to sit tables of 2 first" ended up leaving and went to 110 grill across the street for the 2nd day. Waitress there was really sweet. read more

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Murphy's, so don't let the star rating fool you. Actually 4.5 stars. Very good French Onion Soup, Rueben and Patty Melt & Service. Good beers on tap. It's a pub with beer and pub food. Just nothing to knock your socks off. read more

Staff was friendly and the place had a good vibe but food is mediocre . We stopped in for a quick to go order. Decided on 2 salads - each with added grilled chicken. We walked back to the convention center and then we realized one salad didn't have any dressing. Who loves eating a container of plain lettuce? Overall quality of the salad was fair. Chicken was a little rubbery as it is precooked and heated for service. Salads were edible but nothing to rave about. But wait it gets better- We didn't look at our itemized receipt until the next day when we noticed that one salad the added chicken was charged $5 and the other $6.50. The salads had roughly the same amount chicken. Usually protein up charges for salads are the same for the same protein choice. Seems kind of shady - so if you do go there make sure you check your bill. read more

Fantastic service and delicious shepherd's pie made for an enjoyable lunch during my conference.

I've passed by Murphy's Providence many times in Downcity and saw its always crowded with people, but this was my first time going in. We came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. There are a lot of small tables and large tables which is great for groups. We ordered the Ginger Ale Yacht Club Soda and Caramel Apple White Sangria. The Caramel Apple White Sangria was with Pinto Grigio, Stoli Salted Caramel, apple cider, and oj. It was very good and nice for the fall season. My husband started with the French Onion Soup. He said it was good. For the entrees, my husband had the Murphy's sandwich. This sandwich has corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss, seedless rye, side of Russian dressing and comes with a choice of a side. He chose the coleslaw. I ordered the Shepards Pie. This was with slow-cooked lamb, corn, peas, mashed potatoes, gravy, mixed veggie, corn bread, and broccoli. This whole dish was very delicious. The slow-cooked lamb was very moist and tender. The corn bread was hard on the outside and really soft on the inside. Service was wonderful and I can't wait to come back to try other dishes. I also appreciated that when we got the check, it came with a QR code to pay. It's a lot quicker than waiting for hostess to go back and forth. read more

With a big snow storm coming in and every other restaurant closing, Murphy's remained open for those that needed food in downtown providence. They are even having some staff stay at a nearby hotel so they can serve those of us in town during this big event. Much appreciated. Thanks Hunter! read more

I work in a Providence and either come by or grab take out Murphys about once a month. This place had been a long-time staple in the city. The sandwiches are delicious and they serve up a green tomatoes, hot pepper, half sour pickle mixture to snack on while you wait for your food. I'd classify it as a dive bar/pub because the floors are sticky, the menus are worn and dirtyand the chairs and booths are so well worn that they wobble but the service is friendly and the food is consistently delicious. read more

Stopped in Providence for the night and this spot was close by with dog friendly outdoor seating. Although I needed to order food and beer from the bar as no service outside, the inside server was accommodating and checked in. Would've loved to hang longer since it was a beautiful night but as a single female, I became uncomfortable when a homeless man sat at the table next to me staring. I made the bartender aware and since the homeless man was a "regular" and was "harmless" they wouldn't ask him to leave. Instead, myself, a paying customer, left. Not sure how this made sense from a business standpoint but it definitely put a damper on a nice night. read more
