    A long time coming as Murphy's is right in my neighborhood and hadn't visited. Glad I've done so as rumors start warm that Murphy's and other neighboring buildings may be sold off. I Stopped by Murphys while doing a bit of bar hopping with a friend. We decided to grab some food here while at it. Wouldn't you know it, it was steak Wednesday and that's what I decided I'd go with. There are 4 to choose from - Blue Cheese Steak, Surf n Turf, Steak Oscar and Steak and Fries. I went with the Steak Oscar - which features crab meat, whiskey cream sauce, gravy and veggies. It came out great and as described, nice and tender, the sauce was a great addition, didn't need anything extra. It went great with a couple of pints. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's often crowded here but was able to appreciate watching some sport highlights with company and good meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If their quiet nights are like in my visit it would be a shame for such a long-standing pub to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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? [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love a good old historical building with some history and Murphys has got it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great vibes inside, good selection of drinks, and a back patio if you're not feeling it inside![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is large, but it can get tight in here during prime time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wonderful vibe with all sorts of seating - tables, high tables, bar, window ledge area, sofas, etc.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is outstanding.

    Love the stained glass and painted signs

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

    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!

    Great friendly staff and a fine selection of whiskey and beers. Cheers! Harry, Ben and John are super hosts. Don't miss sports on the patio.

    My boyfriend, his dad, and I were walking around the waterfront in downtown Seattle and decided to…read morestop into Owl 'N Thistle Irish Pub for a beer. We each grabbed a Harp Lager, and it was the perfect place to take a quick break. The service was fast, and the atmosphere was really nice. It had that classic Irish pub feel, and it was fairly dim inside, which fit the vibe well. We stopped in during the early afternoon, so it wasn't too busy. We didn't stay long.. just enjoyed our drinks and then continued exploring the waterfront. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I'd definitely stop in again if I was in the area and looking for a quick drink.

    Second pub we visited for St. Paddy's last night, there was a $10 entrance fee which I didn't mind…read moresince they had a live performance. The venue inside was very quaint and felt like how an Irish Pub should be. The live artists they had were great and very talented. Had the whole room filled with excitement, dancing, and laughter, all that I was looking for in this holiday. Entertainment aside though, the bartending section wasn't the best. Similar experience to what some Yelpers have mentioned, the service wasn't too friendly. I understand it was a busy and stressful night for the two men working, and ordering was a little disorganised. Tried ordering Irish Coffees, but the bartender said "no coffees" and they moved on to the next customer. I'm sorry, I know you had to tend to the next people, but you didn't even give us a chance to tell you what we alternatively wanted instead. That was rude. And then they ignored my group for ten minutes until we were finally able to grab their attention again. We ended up ordering a Guinness for everyone, and paid the tab right away. The bartenders then took the tab back, and took care of the other customers. We saw them pour our Guinness, but then left it sitting back there for quite a bit. We were just straight staring at it, wondering if we were going to be handed it? It wasn't until we spoke up that they gave our drinks to us. It was served in plastic cups which isn't a big issue, but I liked the glass cups better from the previous bar we went to. After that we brought our drinks over to whichever table was open in the side room. Not the cleanest pub as the only table we were able to get was filled with many empty cups and cans piled in the middle of the table. Again, I understand it was a busy night, but there could have been at least one staff member going around the place making sure things get cleaned up. It was also quite warm in the main room, but luckily the side room had a window opened for cool air. To be completely honest though, if it wasn't for the live music and environment - Owl'n Thistle would've earned my first ever one star review. Maybe on a normal night I would want to give this place another chance due to the holiday circumstances, but other reviews on a normal day seems to describe a similar disappointing experience.

    We finally got the chance to check this place out for St. Patrick's Day, and it did not disappoint…read more The food could have been better than I hoped, but the drinks and vibes were most definitely here. 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.
