Had a nice time at Murray's it's close to our hotel and the food is really great. They have plenty of tvs and they are great for groups and couples. The service staff were attentive and it's a spot we will come back to. read more

The food was awesome. Started with a fried Brie and wings. Both were really good. Then roasted chicken with a potato gratin was very good. And the fish & chips were some of the best!! We were a large group so orders were taken fast but food & drinks arrived slow. When the music started and the Celtic dancers came on it was a really fun happy time!!! read more

We had dinner at Murrays Bar twice during our 2 short stays in Dublin. This place was definitely one of our favorites. And it was located only a few blocks from our first hotel. We were seated up front (on the right side) both times and enjoyed the relative solitude within a very popular restaurant, bar, and music venue. Music was playing in the other room, but piped in for easy listening. I enjoyed the first night's group (The Auld Brigade), that I purchased one of their CDs as we left. Music on the 2nd Night was not as interesting. I counted at least 3 bars, all smartly stacked with beer handles and bottles of hard liquor. Yet, outside of pints, glasses of wine, and lots of whiskey, Murrays Bar had a hard time with some as simple as Gayle's favorite: Bombay Sapphire Martini Up with Olives. We asked about it a couple of ways and the waiter was certainly game to get her what she wanted, but alas that was not to be per the message from the Bar. So over our 2 dinners, our collective choices (4 of us) were pints of Murphy's Stout, an O'Hara's Pale Ale, a Hop House Beer, Gayle's Chardonnay, and a Whiskey Sour. In the food department, Murray's Fish and Chips might be one of the best we've enjoyed during our trip to Ireland. All 4 of us ordered that on our second visit, while only half of us did son on the first night. I guess I'm the only smashed peas fan, but that's a minor point. Burgers filled out the Menu on our first visit, which were pretty darn good too. Table service was great both nights, with special kudos to the guy trying to with Gayle's failed Martini order. I'm not sure why there was "muscle" at the front door both nights, but I guess the four of us looked harmless. read more

The security guy at our hotel provided us with a few restaurant choices in Dublin within a twenty minute walk. We decided on Murrays Bar which had a classy entance and could hear loud Irish music coming from within as the door opened. Well illuminated displays of liquor at several areas of the restaurant. A four piece Irish band was playing fast and furious on stage and the crowd was singing along. The ambiance was great and the place was standing room only. There was a thirty minute wait for a table, and in a huge two story restaurant at 830pm that was a good sign that its a great place. We sat at the bar and ordered an Aperol Spritz and a Western Herd Brewing Blue Jumper craft beer. We listened to the band with our drinks in hand. Our table downstairs was ready and took the short walk. Another brightly lit full liquor bar next to our table. The server gave us a few recommendations and decided on Beef & Guinness Pie, Deep Fried Irish Brie with a chicken wings appetizer. The Brie was crazy good and supposedly the best seller here. Although the Beef & Guinness Pie pleased my palate, it was evident from the charcoal smell and taste that the bottom of the kettle was burnt and we informed the server. The restaurant had nice music and the price was great at 70€. read more

This place was incredible, food was fantastic and the service was exceptional. We were so lucky to get the small side table in a cozy nook'

Was hungry and didn't want to go far from our hotel. The security guard told us to check out this place around the corner. We walked in and it was very busy, but we're able to get a seat shortly after we arrived. We were escorted downstairs, which I was glad for because it was extremely loud upstairs as a band was playing. We ordered two appetizers because we didn't want to get too full. We ordered a fried brie and chicken wings. Both were delicious and we left satisfied. read more

Great spot to grab a bite and listen to some live music! Food was good. The cauliflower bites were breaded and deep fried and then tossed in a sauce (not quite what I was expecting, but tasty). Very busy spot but we were seated quickly without having a reservation (Thursday night around 7:30pm). We left before the Irish dancing started. read more

Was by our hotel and we felt like a late night beer. Staff here unfortunately isn't all that friendly. We came in at 10:45 PM and all they wanted to do was clean and ignore patrons at the bar. Not once were we asked how you doing can I get you anything. We had to stop them to get served. The only highlight on this visit was catching the backend of the band. Murray's was probably the most unfriendly pub we visited during our visit. Just felt like we were a huge inconvenience to the staff the entire time we were there. Will not return on the next visit to Dublin. Too many options where they are happy to see you. read more

Had the chicken crispy probably won't ever do that again eitherservice was all right. read more

A friend and I were looking for a full Irish breakfast and stumbled on Murray's after arriving in Dublin. We sat down at 10:40am, just before breakfast closed and lunch service started. The food was great with bacon, sausage, white and black pudding, mushrooms, beans, toast, two fried eggs and hash brown potatoes. Coffee was excellent (I had plain brew and my friend had cappuccino). Service was great and they didn't rush us at all. Nice welcome to Dublin. Full breakfast is 15 euros...lighter edition (no mushrooms or puddings, 1 egg) is 12 euros...and both include coffee or tea. read more

Had high hopes, but was disappointed at every turn. The seating at our table was so tight we could not get into the chairs. Our service was poor. Delivered our food without silverware. We saw each round of our drinks sitting at the bar for 10 minutes before he picked them up and delivered them the 6 feet to us. Our requests for refills of water (we had to ask?) and other items were forgotten. The Irish stew was borderline inedible. It was watery (not thick like gravy), bland, and the meat was fatty and rubbery. The chicken tenders were overcooked and took biting with the molars to get through. The truffle burger was ok, but relied too much on the sauce to save a mediocre item. We ordered a standard cocktail (Moscow Mule) that was not on the menu and were informed we would have to purchase the ingredients individually. Nothing was nasty or terrible, sparing it from a one star rating. But, we will not come here again, and I would humbly suggest you do the same. read more

We went there for brunch - and I was quite happy with it. Not the most hipster brunch (although I have to admit that's the first pub I have been in that does avocado toast!) but also not very expensive (by Dublin standards that is) We were shown our table, and the food arrived very quickly. It was also great that the place was open 10am-ish on Sunday! Not mangled places were! read more

Awesome venue with a restaurant downstairs and a sports bar upstairs. They support LFC, so I was able to watch their champions league match with ease while visiting Dublin. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious, better than most bar food. I tried the lamb stew which I would recommend! Will definitely be back! read more

Very poor experince and very disapointed in general. My family came to Ireland to visit and I had a very good impression fron this place when the pubs opened during the pandemic (maybe because we couldn't travel abroad and tourist couldn't came in, so there was less people around) so we choose this place. We needed to sit otside because it was packed so you need to pay in advance, and this is the best part, as we were 5 (consider as a group), you have a compulsory tip of 12.5% written by hand (is said on the website, but I find very unprofesional to have the price scratch by hand and writen the compulsory tip and the final price by hand) not knowing if the service is good or not. It would be more profesional in a country where tips are optional to charge a fixed amount instead of a percentage. The treatment of the waiter was very nice, but the treatment from the waitress that sitted us was very unpleasant, we didn't feel very welcome with her. As a person living in Dublin this is a place I do not recoment at all and probably never coming again. read more

Fish and chips - very crunchy and golden on the outside; nice and flaky on the inside. Loved the Irish music. Good service, good food.

Amazing people amazing service felt like a your at home kind of bar! We had the chicken pie and Irish stew! read more

I love this place! The live music and show are well worth staying for- make a reservation if you can. We got there around 7:30 for dinner and enjoyed the live musical duo on stage, then the dancers at 9:30ish (I think? Or maybe 10pm?). Everything we ordered was tasty and just the right amount- not big enough to share but enough for 1 person. Fish and chips, garlic Parmesan fries, and burger were all solid. Kids can stay for the show as long as you order food. Service was good, and prices are a little on the high side but consistent with other places in the area. We have been here both times we've been to Dublin and will definitely be back the next time we are in town! read more

For our last night in Dublin, we went to Murray's Public House. The food and the service was amazing. Ambiance was great as well. I started with the fried Brie ( it was phenomenal). The main course was chicken pot pie. While good, it was more like creamed chicken and mushrooms. It needed more flavor. The chocolate brownie was delicious with good cocoa. Highly recommend. The Irish music was good although a little loud for me. read more

Place was jammed packed to the gills. Every nook and cranny was filed with Sunday match revelers (we won!), tourists, travelers and locals. That said we were seated immediately and had our drink order taken with Guinness pints delivered within the first 5 minutes of seating . Deceiving the size of this establishment; there are 4 distinct sections; main dining hall, beer garden, upstairs bar, downstairs bar and seating. Different music and ambiance in each section. FIRST COURSE: We started with the baked Brie- OMG it was out of this world. 8oz wedge of Brie coated in panko and deep fried to a creamy center, served with honey, walnuts, blistered tomatoes, lingonberries. Absolutely Sublime MAIN COURSE: Beef with Guinness Pie came a bit deconstructed. Deep rich beefy flavors with carrots and onions, served with a half moon of puff pastry and a side of mash. We poured the stew over the mash and ate the puff in the side. So filling and delish. DESSERT COURSE: well the Smithwick's ended up being dessert. We were so stuffed from the appetizer and B&G pie. read more

Just meh. Our server disappeared and never came back to check on us nor ask if we wanted more beer. We also were waiting a good 20 minutes after finishing our meals and stacking plates to pay- in which another server ended helping with. The food was just okay. The Guinness pie was not as good as others in the area, brown bread was cold and hard, and the pot pie was lacking not in flavor, but in substance- minimal chicken and veggies. Other places to consider- Quays, the Shack, Old Storehouse. read more

My husband and I had lunch at Murray's while we were in Dublin. The fish & chips were okay but not as good as the haddock fish & chips we had the previous day at the Fish Shop. If you want fish & chips, and can get a reservation at the Fish Shop, go there. Otherwise, you are probably fine going to Murray's for a drink. It is a good location and has fun atmosphere. read more

Had a hamburger and fries. The burger was dry and was not seasoned well. The fries were ok but small portion. Overall the music was good so that is why it got two stars, I would not eat here again. Services was terrible, server took the order and someone else dropped off the food and no one returned to fill drinks or ask if we needed anything. I had to go find someone to pay my bill. read more

This is such a disappointing experience because I actually liked the food, music, and atmosphere. But they overcharged my credit card by $350!

I wasn't impressed. I am a single lady on a business trip. I stopped in for a quick dinner and drink. The hostess sat me at the bar and after 10 mins of No one even acknowledgeing me I asked to be put at a table. I was told they only had one in the downstairs part of resturant, okay so I will sit downstairs. Not too bad but when my Irish stew came I was more than disappointed. Not very good. I guess I was there on an off night because a friend had been earlier in September and said it was great. As for ambiance that part was good. But not good enough for me to go back. read more
