I went here on a very crowded weekend night. I was a solo traveler. I wasn't able to find a table but the manager kindly told me she found me a seat with another solo traveler. I was sat with Ms Mulligan at a table on the stage. She was so welcoming and the dancers seemed to know her. I was picked to come on stage and dance with Murray's Dancers. I had an amazing time and loved the food and atmosphere. Ms Mulligan invited me to come back the next night at the same time so I did. Murray's was a highlight to my trip in Dublin. read more

Fantastic! Our group of 8 was easily accommodated for a late lunch. We were warmly greeted and addressed as soon as we walked in. Service was prompt, drinks and food were quickly delivered. Food was awesomely good. From the Irish Stew to Cesar salad, all were pleased with their choices. Portions are very large. The atmosphere overall is welcoming and friendly. So much so we made reservations for dinner. We were fortunate to be seated near the stage to enjoy the live music and dancing which was pretty amazing. We discovered the downstairs area as well and the patio which are worth a visit. Worth noting was many a local were there each time, which indicated to us it was an establishment worth while not a tourist trap. Overall a great experience not just a resturant. read more

Lovely Irish restaurant and bar. Good food and drink served by pleasant and efficient staff. We used a 2 for 1 coupon from City Sightseeing hop on hop off bus which made it an even better deal. Although the 2 for 1 menu is limited the food was great. €12.95 for 2 including coffee read more

Murrays Bar is a fantastic dining choice in Dublin. The fish & chips are fantastic, and the atmosphere is always lively, whether there's a game on or live music and dancing. I recommend Murray's to anyone in the Dublin area! read more

Came in to Murray's Pub for a late dinner and were advised at the front door that if we want to sit and have dinner near the stage on the first floor we needed purchase a 2 course "fixed price meal". The fixed price menu choices were typical pub food with soup or salad, with beer or wine at an additional charge. The live music was traditional Irish with dancers doing several sets. The food tasted great and the service was awesome and friendly. The pub had a real festive feel to it once the music started. I would come here again! read more

So good.... I had the vegetarian curry and my mom had the beef stew. Best beef stew she ever had and the curry is amazing. Definitely recommend!! read more

Eh. The food didn't strike me as anything too amazing. Thought it was weird that my table was facing a television that was broadcasting servers and patrons eating upstairs. I get that it's for people to be able to see the live music, but there was no music so it was kind of weird. Like, if I wanted to see the live music, I'd just go upstairs. read more

Went in on a weekday for lunch, and was told they start serving lunch at noon. Ordered hot'n'spicy glin valley chicken wings traditional Irish beef stew and fish and chips from the traditional Irish dishes portion of the menu. Portion was of decent size, and the beef stew was to die for! Fish and chips was decent portion, though did not think it was as good as the stew. The wings were also saucy and tasty. Service was attentive. Wish we went in at night when they supposedly have live music every night and dance show every weekend. read more

GREAT atmosphere! Had dinner with my family and enjoyed it. I had some sort of Guinness stew and several pints and highly recommend! There was fun live music too. read more

Murrays is a really popular northside establishment right on O'Connell Street. It is part of a complex containing a music pub and restaurant, an attractive outdoor café, a courtyard sports bar, a late-night rock music bar, and a small hotel. That's a lot! Many people flow through its door every day. One of the things I like about Murrays is its full Irish Breakfast served each morning. With its eggs, sausage, white and black puddings, Irish brown bread and toast, beans and tomatoes, along with orange juice and Irish breakfast tea - this is a hearty way to begin a day in Dublin! read more

This cocktail lounge had been on my 'to try' list since it opened a few weeks ago and last week I finally got round to check it out. It looks really really nice. It's dark, it's got lot of corners and comfy seating, I love the ceiling and the bar looks inviting. It's got a bit of this old NYC to it. We were here for cocktails and got seated next to the TV in one of the booths. The TV was still on after the opening match of the Euros 2016 and was clashing with the music which was equally loud. We asked two different waitresses to turn down the TV (the match was well over) but neither knew how. So we changed seats and eventually ordered cocktails at recommendation from the waitress: mojito and raspberry collins. The raspberry collins arrived in due course but the mojito..... it took easily another 20mins after the other cocktails arrived and a few reminders to get it. It was served in a martini glass and was very strong. But nice. Not amazing but nice. Same for the raspberry collins: it was alright but neither of us would hurry back to order them again or a different one of their menu mainly because of the poor service. read more

Went here on a trip to Dublin as it was close to our hotel. The food was great! Got burgers, nothing special but they were very tasty. Hands down the best thing we had was their Bailey's cheese cake. It was no NY style cheese cake, much more light and airy but it was so good and the presentation was just goregeous. My only complaint was it is hard to get service as wait staff can be difficult to flag down. read more

Loved loved loved my visit here. Staff was very friendly, Guinness was flowing very nicely. I had the Guinness beef stew... Oh my was I in heaven. Big plop of delicious mashed potatoes in the middle topped with a flaky crust. To top it all of they had an Irish band who was it only incredible but also hysterical. Must stop! read more

Horrible experience. Very poor service, horrible wait staff. Asked us to leave at 10 for no reason. I guess they don't like Americans. Only our section was asked to leave. Strange. I thought we lived in an accepting society but not at Murray's. Stay away if you are not from Ireland. read more

Great food, vegetarian options even! We ate downstairs, good prices, good service, and a good selection of food options. I was wondering why people kept going out the back door, that must be where you go to get upstairs! I'll try it again... read more

Oh, my family and I had so much fun here. We were seated right on the stage next to the live musicians and Irish dancers. The musicians took requests and interacted with the audience for the whole night. It was great fun. The food was delicious, and the Guinness was delightful. read more

Went on a Thu with 2 kids and sat downstairs. The staff are very friendly. Mixture of locals and tourists. Fish and chips was excellent. Chicken tenders were great too. Cool chillaxing vibe. Upstairs starting playing live Irish music around 9p. We could hear it from downstairs and still have a conversation. When we went upstairs to leave it was really loud (but very good!). So if you want to talk sit downstairs. There is a full bar down there too. Highly recommend. read more

This fills a void in my life. You know what I mean: that aching hole left behind by not being able to watch college football. I guess I'm saying that Murray's has filled my aching hole. I sat all the way at the top level, which is very much a sports bar. I think the menu is not as complete as below, or perhaps cooked in a different kitchen. Anyway, the burger was waaaaaay too well done. I mean, it was cooked well and THEN forgotten about, then rewarmed to seal out any juices. I jest, but damn, the burger was dry. Then there was the small platter, with chicken goujons (tenders to Americans), fries, buffalo wings, onion rings, mini bangers, and a couple sauces (sweet & sour and garlic mayo). The small platter was actually pretty good. Everything was nice and crispy, and the sauce on the wings was really nice. In today's age of modified foods, some might complain about the wings being chicken-sized instead of ginormo monster chicken sized, but they really tasted nice. The selection of beers is sports appropriate and runs from Guinness to Smithwick's Red to O'Hara's Pale Ale with a couple fill-in-the-blanks in between. They have approximately 6 screens up here, all either big screen or projector. There were enough screens that I could watch college football without disturbing those who wanted to watch rugby, soccer, soccer, rugby, or rugby or soccer, which is nice. I took off the one star because of the super dried out burger and because the feed to the screen kept cutting out. Our barman was an absolute hero in doing his best to get the game back up, but it certainly was an annoyance. Notwithstanding, I plan on coming here again. read more

Great place and wonderful food. Lovely atmosphere. Service was fast and high quality. I had the burger and it was so good. I would definitely go here again. read more

I wish I could have stayed in Dublin longer so I could go back to Murray's. There were mostly tourists there but also some locals. Nice atmosphere, bit crowded. The music starts at 9, my family and I enjoyed it. I only wish the bar would sell the CDs of the bands that play there. The bands sell their own CDs but I didn't buy it when they were there and then regretted it. read more

Guiness was good here but the lamb stew left a lot to be desired. It was very soupy,not a thick stew, and was primarily potatoes and carrots. There were only three small bites of stringy, boiled lamb in the dish. Would not recommend this place for dinner. read more

Came here for the euros and the service, drinks, and availability of tv screens was fantastic! I'd come back again for the rest of the games without question. The beer garden connects to 2 other bars that you can walk in and out of. read more

Overall my experience was that I'm not welcomed there due to the following reasons: 1. I was sitting at the bar, ordered my drink&food and they asked me to pay immediately. For me it's like they don't want me around. 2. They refused to put a sports game I hoped to watch on the TV next to me although there was no one watching except me and they have tens of other TVs with other sports games. They couldn't give any logical explanation why not to... 3. All the (4) waiters I've spoken with were very unpleasant and didn't smile even once. read more

Lucky to find Murray's open til midnight. Luckier to taste the terrific veg soup, salmon and wings with Guinness and Irish whiskey. Even luckier to see Irish step and hear the the awesome Gypsy's! Great atmosphere and great service. When in Dunlin the next time, we'll definitely be coming back here. read more

Murrays Bar - Great performance by Gypsies - Pubs Near Me - Dublin, D

Perhaps not the most atmospheric of all Dublin pubs, but if you want to see any sporting event, this is the place to go. And I mean any event. From Champions League football to minor darts events and from big international rugby matches to powerboatracing in Patagonia, they have it all. If you can stomach the somewhat dark interior (or outright darkness on the first floor sportsbar) and dirty toilets, this is an excellent place to have a cheap beer and watch a game. Don't be put off if your game is not on the blackboard, the staff will often be able to free a screen for your game if you ask them nicely. 4 stars for the sports, 3 stars for the ambiance read more

Entertainment is the reason to come here more so than the food. They have great local bands & the night we went there, they also had Irish dancers after the band played. That was a lot of fun. If you don't like beer or wine, the cocktail menu is limited but I did enjoy their Zombie cocktail with passion fruit & pineapple. My entree was the Dublin Bay prawns with garlic & chili over greens which was quite good. read more

After an event in the Plaza Academy Hotel around the corner we (a group of around 30) ended up in Murrays Bar. As most of us first sat where later that night performances took place they arranged nicely for us to sit together somewhere else. The music started at around 9pm and from 10pm to 10.30pm there was Irish Dancing. Afterwards music again. This is their programme every night and I have to say it was excellent. I'm usually sceptic about the quality when a pub has a show on every night but at least in this case I shouldn't be. As Murrays is around the corner of the Living Room the building forms a lovely and big outside area. Obviously for smoker but also with big screens in case of any matches. And lots of seating with tables is available. I can't review their food as I had dinner elsewhere but from others I heard it was very good. read more

I can't understand, for the life of me, why this pub is not feautured in every single travel guide of Dublin. It is a great place for having a laugh, watching a game (you can see ANY football match from all over the world), having a nice meal (comford food all the way) and even enjoy an act of Irish dancing girls. Not as charming or beautiful as some others pubs, no doubt about it, but very useful and great located. read more

It's 6 Nations season and there's really only one place to watch the match .. in the pub. Murray's is the end all be all sports pub. Whatever it lacks in everything else it makes up for with every kind of sport. This pub really has nothing else going on, it's dingy and smelly, but if you're looking for a place to watch any sort of match, like one of those thousands of different football playoff matches this is the place to go to make sure you catch all the action! read more

WATCH OUT! If you do not want to get a surprise when the bill comes, read this. We were a group of 37 people eating there on 7th. April. We booked in advance - we talked with the manager (Chris?) on 6th. April. He told us that the price for 3 course meal was 29 Euro per person. The whole group agreed to go there on 7.th April evening. We sat there ready to order and suddenly it was not 3 but 2 course meal. That was not what it was agreed, but we were there already so we stayed. Imagine our surprise when the bill came, and the price was NOT 1.073€ (29€ x 37pax) but 1.313€! When we complained, the manager lied straight to our faces. He affirmed that he had not said anything about the price when three of us were there the day before, and that he said 2 course meal instead of 3. He said that it was written on the menu that groups have an extra charge of 10 %. In addition, with very small letters, it is written that there is an extra charge of 6€ for each steak. Imagine our faces. We had told our group how much it was it and collected 29€ cash from them as we were told. We thought that he was kidding, or maybe he was having difficulties to remember what he had said just the day before. Or that maybe - just maybe - we did not understand to each other. Better to think that than he was purposely lying to our faces. He was rude, unpolite and offensive. We do not understand how a place with so many good reviews have such a bad person as a manager. He is a descredit for the whole place. The meal was good - not very good but ok - and the waitresses kind and nice, but he managed to ruin our last night in Dublin. We took the whole group to another place where we were more than welcome. read more

This pub was dirty and badly kept. Despite the lovely fish tanks (which were smeared with fingerprints and saliva apparently) the seats were ripped,the mirrors smeary, and there was an aroma of neglect in this dark and dreary pub. Its a shame as the location is good as is the drinks menu. I did not eat there for obvious reasons. read more
