I've been to this place three times now, and for St. Patrick's Day I decided this was a spot. I was gonna enjoy my day at. It was a hot one, but they had the AC running inside and that made drinking the green beer so enjoyable. The bartenders Evan and Britney were very nice and looked after me and everyone else I came up to the bar for beers, always asking if they wanted their beer green. Their food selection on that day was tremendously great. I had the corned beef on wheat bread and it was toast, toasted wheat bread to boot. With a cheese, and everything else that came with it, I was happily pleased with it all. Especially the carrot that tasted like pickled because it was laying on one. I will never forget that taste that I enjoyed so much on that day. The prices for beer are actually impressively cheap. I really have no complaints on this place and I think that what they do to get people's names on the wall for drinking 70 different beers from all around the world is really cool. I might have to try it one day. Thanks to all the people at Murphy's for putting on a great St. Patrick's Day for this fan. Oh, and by the way, they make such good popcorn. I used to have it at a different bar as a kid and then brought me back to those days. read more

Saturday Jan 10, 2026 Best Beer Bar in Belmont Shore. Why : Best prices ( Beer pitchers available ) High quality food :Sandwiches,& weekend Breakfast menu during NFL. Popular with fans= wear your colors. Many TV's & View packages for multiple sports and staff will change channels. View deck is great for Fresh air & people watching. There are challenges that come with the popularity and layout: 1.no waiters = one needs to Belly Up to the Bar & order...food will be delivered. 2. With popularity = things can get hectic, so patience is sometimes required. 3.There is a no fee"beer club" called Passport Enjoy read more

Came by Murphys on St. Patrick's day and it was a really cool spot. After going up the flight of stairs you reach a nicely air conditioned bar with great customer service. The beer was iced cold and we had some freshly made popcorn. The bartender was really nice and welcoming. Overall the vibes were cool. read more

Murphy's Pub At the Belmont - Pubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

First time at Murphy such a good time a lot of energy. There was a bingo or trivia session that looked like a lot of fun. I seen a couple of people order food I didn't get the chance. Definitely going to go back to this gem. Also the location is really beautiful you can see over 2nd street which is really nice read more

The bartenders are extremely rude. They bent my ID and offered me very poor service. Do NOT come here

I had never been here before but my friend suggested we meet here as our first stop for our bar hopping day. It wasn't very busy as we got there about 12:30pm (we love us some day drinking ;) The patio seating is nice with a cool view of 2nd street. We shared some nachos that were tasty. The other food sounded good too. I would go back again. read more

Located on the famous hidden beach city of Belmont Shore, Murphy's not only boasts a tasty nice rooftop view its offers great service, and brilliantly prepared beers with a smile ! read more

Not accessible by any means at all. Hard to get too hard to get around. Again not accessible for anyone with any type of disability at all. So no wheelchair access. If you walk with a cane or a crutch it's a huge fall hazard. If you can't go up and down stairs don't even bother it's up stairs with no alternate access available. You can ONLY order your food and drinks at the bar. If you're lucky enough to find a table you still have to go to the bar to order. That's a feet in itself to even get near the bar when it's crowded. Now the good. Decent food. GREAT prices and a good selection of drinks. Now for the staff. Kinda rude and don't really care unless you're tipping big. read more

Blimey!! What a cute Irish pub!! I loveeeee Irish pubs! The whole vibe and dark, coziness that usually comes with the experience. All the clovers and colors of the Irish flag (green, white, orange). It's just a great time! The food and service I experienced were both good. And my friend's enjoyed the alcoholic beverages. I really liked the staircase entrance to get to the pub. Adorable. read more

Pub is a short climb up some stairs. The outside terrace overlooking 2nd is great! Service was quick.

Just beer and wine no whiskey so it loses a star for that. No Harp on draft or Smithwicks the only Irish beer was Guinness. But they do have cans or bottles of O'Hara's Stout and Wexford plus a ton of other cans of beers from all over the place. Food is sandwiches and salads mostly. Nothing too exciting but satisfying nonetheless. Service was great and the patio overlooking Second St from the second floor is nice for late afternoon drinking. read more

I love Murphy's!! It's a great place to sit out in the balcony and watch people along 2nd Street or inside watching a game. To me it's a hidden gem, their sandwiches are piled with meats and cheese, plus it comes with a side salad, chips and salsa, or potato chips. It's a real bargain. My go to is the shore shuffle minus the center bread, squaw bread double toasted provolone with a side salad. The ranch dressing is so yummy. They have pickled eggs that I think beat Joe Jost's. I ask for no black pepper (my preference) Their pop corn is irresistible, once an order passes you you'll understand. Beer is cold and plenty of choices and the locals are cool, eh me being one of them. Oh it's dog friendly to boot!! read more

Best bartender on Saturday afternoon! Did a bar crawl and visited many places but by far the best service here. The outdoor deck is nice, clean bathrooms and not too busy! read more

Came to murpheys for a nice Sunday afternoon and Brittany absolutely made my day. She had a happy face when we walked in, helpful and quick despite the Sunday football fans! 10/10 will be back for Britt!!! read more

I came here with my friends from out of town, all above the age of 21 with no fake ID's. Somehow all our ID's didn't pass the "blue light test" and when we asked them to recheck it they said it still didn't pass. When we tried to let them know we came from out of town and our ID's weren't fake, the bartender and multiple customers and staff yelled at us to leave the establishment. Unfortunately we weren't able to enjoy a drink at this pub, but neighboring bars were more than welcoming to us! I recommend checking out the bars nearby before coming here! read more

my four friends and i came from vegas and are staying at long beach. we are all over the age of 21 and we tried to get some drinks but they claimed our ids didn't pass the "blue light test" and when we confronted them telling them our ids are real they screamed at us and told us to get out of the bar. I don't know what kind of tests they are doing but i couldn't stress that we are all over the age of 21 I think just because our ids are from nevada they kicked us out. read more

There was an absolutely beautiful view of the gym below us on one side. On the other, an adequate view of second street. read more

Murphy's is so cute! I had always walked past this place, but since it's kind of hidden, never went in. I am glad to have tried it and will be back. The interior is cute & classic bar, but my favorite part was the wall of beer tours! When you go there you can get a punch card with all the beers they offer, and if you finish it, you get to put a namecard on the wall. Reading all the name cards and the funny quotes people chose for them was really fun. I also loved that they have a balcony option that looks out over second street. It was nice and quieter than the other bars on second street, but still lively. Will definitely come back. read more

Saturday Sept 7,2024 After a late AM workout= "The Reward" Lunch & watching sports. Started with Pickled eggs, which includes pretzel sticks , peppers and spicy mustard.. The Pub has Many many types of Ice Cold beer. The kitchen crew knows what we like in a Tuna sandwich- Why this is special: each sandwich made using an entire unopened can of Tuna= NO vat of tuna sitting around all day. Wife LUVs the ultra fresh veggies that are included..sliced cucumber , carrot sticks, hot pepper, and great tasting Pickle slices. Sandwich includes a bag of potato chips or Tortilla chips The Pub has a Outside deck with umbrellas for great view of Second St&"people watching' Why we support this employee owned pub: Fair prices , cool A/C, is the cleanest "Dive Bar" in town. Tip : order at the bar first cause the staff gets BZ Worth the climb up the stairs read more

The bartender shortchanged me and I didn't get a receipt. Sketchy place that will take their own tips from you.

Zero stars. I tipped 50% on a tab for 6 people, we maybe got there about 11:20pm they close at 12am on a Friday. Felt super rushed to get out right at 12am. Thought maybe we'd get 5 to 10 more minutes to finish the beer we bought instead of getting rushed out. There was 5 of us. Definitely won't be back. Should have saved my money for elsewhere. read more

My absolutely, positively favorite place to drink in Belmont Shore! It's cheap, great wine selection, decent menu, outdoor seating on a balcony that is prime for people watching, and super nice staff. The bar hovers above the Belmont Shore Athletic Center and if you don't mind sitting inside, it's fun to watch the activities below. Large windows give a first-hand view of the racquetball courts and its super fun watching people working out hard while I sit on my duff and sip good wine. My favorite appetizer is the quesadilla, mostly because of the homemade salsa. It is to die for! And the portions are so huge at a very, very reasonable price. The menu is not huge, but everything is fresh and yummy. The atmosphere is casual and Murphy's fits the bill for being the perfect place to relax and enjoy your afternoon while still sticking to a budget. read more

Murphy's Pub At the Belmont - Pubs Near Me - Long Beach, California

PROS: Great food and very reasonable prices, especially these days. Good trivia program for the most part. CONS: Worst system of service. Essentially, ALL drink and food orders have to be made at the bar, which is run by a lone bartender who is always overwhelmed. Worse yet, there has never been a bartender who has a good sense of "who arrived first" and so you could be waiting for 15-20 minutes at the bar even though you arrived well before other patrons (who never have the decency to say "hey, this person was standing here before me!"). In the very least, there needs to be a "take a number" system employed because the bartenders have too much going on to keep track of who walked up first to the very long bar space. I understand that having only one employee serve the entire bar keeps the prices low. However, more often than not I choose NOT to order food and drinks because the bar is too crowded and I know I'm not going to get served in a equitable manner with the haphazard way customers are served. It's a vicious cycle: the management is too cheap to hire one more bartender for their very, very busy and lucrative trivia nights, which prevents customers from buying more items, which doesn't help pay for another employee. In reality, my one food and drink order of $15-25 would pay for that extra employee for one full hour so you've already made back your money, and then some. I've seen other people walk away from the bar space after it took too long so I know I'm not the only person who refuses to condone bad service. Also, can we talk about how crummy it is for the lone bartender? Have some respect for your employee because I'm sure they don't enjoy being swamped anymore than your customers enjoy waiting a long time to be served. On Wednesdays there is often a manger-type gentleman in the bar who steps in to help when the bartender doesn't know how to handle a transaction, but why not step in when there are 10 customers deep?? Perhaps it is his night off and he's only there to play trivia and help when really needed, but I don't see who could stand by and just watch as their employee/coworker struggles to meet demands and as their place of work does a poor job of satisfying customers. Just bad business practices in general and I won't support them. read more

I come here for trivia pretty often on Wednesdays, and I do really like Murphy's - their rotating selection of beers never disappoints, and the food I've tried here is pretty good. It's usually pretty crowded on Wednesdays when I'm there, but it's a good crowd with a lot of regulars. Three stars because I've noticed they're consistently understaffed (at least on Wednesdays) and kitchen service tends to be slow. The one bartender who's usually there on Wednesdays is so nice, always makes an effort to ask how I'm doing, and definitely deserves a raise/promotion/praise for doing her best to keep up with the Wednesday crowd! There's pretty much always a line at the bar on Wednesday evenings, and getting one more bartender scheduled on busy nights would get customers served much faster. Additionally, on trivia/crowded nights food usually takes upwards of 30 minutes to be served (none of the menu items are too fancy either). I ordered The Natural sandwich, a cold veggie sandwich, the last time I was there, and it took over an hour to be served. Great local spot with good energy and a ton of potential, but consistently understaffed. The staff that is there always works hard and is very friendly! read more

Great selection of beers. Friendly staff and really good sandwiches. The Rueben and tuna are highly recommended.

El servicio y el ambiente me gustaron mucho. Tienen gran variedad de cervezas y vino. Es un buen lugar para tomarse unos tragos y pasarla bien con los amigos. read more

When I'm in the mood for a chicken salad sandwich, this is the place I go. Absolutely amazing and my taste are in heaven after every bite. I add a salad, haven't had the fries yet. I'm not a fan of fries, I often never finish fries where ever I go, unless chili cheese is on them. read more

This place doesn't look like much on the outside....actually...it doesn't look like much on the inside either BUT, this place is a place where you can feel right at home. The staff are freaken awesome and friendly. The beer is fabulous (get a beer passport if you don't have one yet) and the food is surprisingly very very good for a bar. Everything I've tried has become my favorite, but the two that stick out the most is the Ruben sandwich and the ham sandwich. Sooooo good. So with the beer passport you drink 72 beers (obviously not all at once) and you once you're done, you get your name on a placard on the wall and I believe you get a shirt. They also have more then enough tv's to watch whatever game you want. You can either sit inside or enjoy your meal and beer outside on the patio. I love coming here. It's so relaxed and the atmosphere is super inviting and chill. Side note: if you leave a little too tipsy, don't take the stairs....and if you do....slide down the steps on your butt....IT'S FUN!! Like being a kid again....but tipsy! read more

Came back to this place after several years as part of a Sunday Fun Day with the wife. It has lots of WIN!: 1) $7.00 pitchers of Miller High Life 2) Great car and people watching below on 2nd Street. 3) Free Cheez-Its! 4) Historic building- used to be an old movie theater 5) Cool bartenders Look- this place ain't fancy. It's not what most consider to be a first date place, but the prices are good, the vibe is cool and the view is nice. It's amazing how few places allow you to sit outside and have a view of any kind read more

LOVE this place. Been coming here for years and it will always hold a special place in my heart, as I'll be moving out of state. I've finished a few passport tours and it's been a blast. Also, the food is fresh and delish, as is the very friendly service. Will always make a point to visit when I return. read more

Bartenders are mediocre. Beers are average priced. I met up with friends at Murphy's for the 2nd Street parade yesterday. I came straight from work and did not drink until I came to this bar. It was very busy so on my first 2 beers I tipped the bartender 50% ($4 for a $9 Can) for my first two. Come the third beer, they were out of cans so I ordered a draft. I paid, tipped, and was cut off. What? Cut off? On my third beer?! I get it; they were busy and stressed, but the fact they charged me, I tipped, and they took my beer before I had a sip is beyond me. There were plenty of people there that should have not been served another beer. I was not one of them. I did throw the third tip at them after the fact (solidifying me leaving). Poor judgement on the bartender which reflects directly on this bar. I will not be back. I will take my generous 50% tip elsewhere. read more

Yall this place is definitely discriminatory. I just walked in there and automatically was met with a bunch of weird stares from the customers and the bartenders. Super weird. Also the crowd is not diverse at all. Do not come here. read more

Cool little dive bar located above 2nd Street where you can have a drink on the patio and people watch all you want.

Massive selection of beers to choose from all around the world. I think you can keep tabs of all of them and they give you something once you have tried them all. Wouldn't advise to try doing it in one session tho lol read more

Cool spot for a drink. Great vibe inside. Tons of different beers to choose from. They have a punch card you can do and when you try all the different beers they put your name on the wall. read more

This place is great if it's open.... This is the 3rd time I've tried to come here and it closed early. Tonight we showed up at 9:12 pm and the bartender told us it she had already announced last call. She wasn't nice about it either. Don't say you close at 11:30 pm on Yelp and midnight on Google if you're going to close over 2 hours early every night. When I mentioned it to her, she said "sometimes we close early". Early doesn't mean over 2 hours. read more
