Murphy's in Dublin

19/03/2025: RESERVATION ONLY. This establishment does not leave space for walk ins, not even at the bar. Bar seating is full dinner service and reservation only. I’m mentioning this because there are some reviews regarding leaving based on price which indicates some bitter feelings when they were likely turned away, had they reserved a table with their CC I don’t think they’d be walking out. First time diners we made a last min reservation at the bar which I highly recommend! We had the pleasure of interacting with the bar tenders (a tall balding gentleman was always singing and by the end of the night we were all in giggles) he also made me an excellent espresso martini. The lady next to me went on and on about her whiskey sour too! Declan the manager was so insightful about the history and loyalty of the restaurant/area and their customers! Quite insightful. They won most hospitable amount Michelin and we could certainly see why! Moving in to the incredible food- We had the deviled eggs, fondu toast, cock-a-leeki pie with salad and the parker house ox roll. Everything was divine. The signature cock-a-leeki pie takes the cake! So unique, filling and delicious.

17/03/2025: Had a great time at Spitalfields! The food was absolutely delicious, we tried the devilled eggs and the Cock-a-Leekie Pie, and both were amazing. The flavors were rich, and everything was cooked perfectly. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which added to the nice atmosphere. The only small downside was being asked to remove a coat from a handrail hanger, which felt unnecessary, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. The food was top-notch, and we'd definitely recommend this place. A must-visit spot in Dublin!
