    Shepherds Pie & Paddy Melt
    Carol C.

    I've not been here in a great while. Hubby wanted pub food, so we decided to check out Murphy's Pub. Shepherd's Pie was delish and hubby's Paddy Melt was tasty too. I'm interested in coming back for the fish & chips, which is served on Fridays. Good food with great service.

    What is there not to like about Murphys? I love a good old historical building with some history and Murphys has got it. Great vibes inside, good selection of drinks, and a back patio if you're not feeling it inside! Prompt service even when it's busy during trivia nights, can't ask for more! Love this spot!

    Not the healthiest options, but nothing beats the food here after a long day in the office, plus a little whiskey on the side. Big fan of the sandwiches, the beef stew, and that soda bread. Scotch Eggs are nice too if you can squeeze that in. The space is large, but it can get tight in here during prime time. Wonderful vibe with all sorts of seating - tables, high tables, bar, window ledge area, sofas, etc. Service is outstanding.

    Love the stained glass and painted signs

    Okay, I love this bar! An Irish pub is always a favorite for me but this one is great because it has that true Irish pub feel. Stained glass, wood interior, a great patio and a little snug. I love the cozy fireplace too!

    My friends and I came to Murphy's for the first time this past St. Patrick's Day. As expected, this Irish pub was booming with people. We arrived around midnight and were able to get in without having to wait in line. Note there is a $10 cover fee CASH ONLY when you enter. I'm not sure if they have a cover fee every night, or if it's only because they had live music that night. My group made our way to the bar and we're able to get service within ten minutes. Most of my friends got Guinness, but I opted for a simple Two Towns Cider on tap ($9 plus tip). The cider was crisp and fresh. After grabbing our drinks, we found a standing spot in the back as all tables were taken. We probably could've found seating outside on the patio though. We were hoping the kitchen would still be open, but there kitchen closes at 11 or 12 (I couldn't find an exact time anywhere). I was a little disappointed because their famous Reuben sandwich looks absolutely delicious and so I'll have to come back for that! The restaurant itself isn't super clean if I'm being honest. The outdoor patio is fine, but the floors inside are stickier than a frat house floor. It was like I was stepping in honey with every foot forward. There was also food on the ground and someone else's leftover food sitting on the window ledge that wasn't picked up until we left. The live music was decent and the lineup had a good selection of songs. It was very loud, but it was a St. Patty's Day party after all. Overall: 4/5 for drinks, 3/5 for service, 2.5/5 for atmosphere

    Fire place is so cozy!

    I came here years ago at the wee hours of the night! We sat near the fireplace! It was my birthday and I missed a flight to be with my bf. My friend came to meet me. I think it was the only place opened near by. I didn't order alcohol at all but the vibe was right :) Now I find myself parked close and it's the only place open. Feels very "How I Met Your Mother" vibe. Food is good. The size of the restaurant is nice.

    Love this place!  Owners are awesome people!

    Love Murphy's and I go whenever in Seattle! The food and drinks are fantastic and the owners are even better! Go for Trivia Night! Highly recommend!

    Oldest pub in Seattle. Great beers, service, amazing Reuben, and fries with gravy. Recommend.

    My husband and I were looking for ramen on our way to our parked car, however, we ended up going to…read moreKells because the hankering of a Guinness was greater than ramen in that instance of time. We ordered the Irish chowder, and corned beef and cabbage with mash potatoes, and a glass of Guinness beer. The chowder tasted like any chowder I had before but this came with soda bread, and the bread was really good. The corned beef dish was also delicious. Lots of flavor to it and certainly not salty. The cabbage (carrots and string beans) paired well with the mash and the beef. Service was quick and non- bothersome. Our waiter came to check in when they needed to and not when we were about to stuff food in our mouth which happens far too often than I would like to share. As for the establishment itself, it is quite dark, which all align with what pubs would be. Interesting to say though that the walls were adorned with art and the right pillar where we sat had a frame of what looked to be a collection of irish stamps. It was pretty neat to look at.

    I needed a Smithwick's. I frequently went to Kell's, but that was a long time ago. At Kell's…read moretoday you can get a Guinness and beer they brew themselves. Bartender recommended - no, suggested - a red ale similar to Smithwick's. It is not Smithwick's. I don't really remember the food, and I suspect that's a good thing. I asked the waiter if the corned beef and cabbage was good. He said, "We are an Irish bar." When gently pressed, he added, "A lot of people order it." The staff doesn't seem to think there's much to recommend at Kell's these days and I'm inclined to agree. 3 stars for some good memories, they still put on live music, and the fact that while nothing was great, nothing was terrible either.

Love the dark cherry wood throughout and the amazing service. FYI, they also have a few arcade games in the back. We ordered: Pot Pie - This was a bit strange because the Pie is topped with a flaky puff pastry instead of it being a pie we're accustomed to where the pie filling sits within the breaded/puff pastry. The inside was alright, but the pastry part was delicious! Shepherd's Pie - this was super light and didn't have much flavor, it more like a snack than a meal. Unlike a traditional shepherd's Pie, it wasn't topped with mashed potatoes, and there was hardly any meat inside. Maybe they forgot to top mine with potatoes? Even the menu describes this dish as having a mashed potato topping. :( Bangers & Mash - This was the best dish that we ordered. Savory and filling enough, as compared to the others. The burger sausages were delicious! Snakebites - Special St. Patty's drink special - Guinness and Cider a bunch of Guinness drafts They had a live band singing traditional Irish songs plus a few contemporary songs all night, and the pub hosted the Keith Highlanders Pipe Band, who also played throughout the evening and night. Ngl, the first time the Bagpipe band walked through the pub, everyone was hyped, and some got emotional. Such a fun night! I highly recommend catching their live bands. I'm curious how often they host bands, but it's worth visiting.
