20/06/2025: One of the best restaurants I have been! The people were nice and helped us choosing the plates! I certainly will be back!

16/06/2025: Slightly misunderstood, I was expecting Hotpot to feature on the menu so was a bit disappointed when there was none. . The sandwiches and salad are pretty good though and the chips are tasty. Also, importantly, the chips were hot. The soup was tasty but slightly over seasoned to my taste. Normally I don’t use salt, so even a little bit makes a strong hit for me. There were a couple of families eating at nearby tables and the kids were well catered for and the servers were very good with the young ones. Service was good, efficient & friendly. Price wise it was pretty reasonable too.

06/07/2025: Beautiful food but the service could have been better. We ordered drinks and they arrived straight away. We then ordered two mains and after 30 minutes had to ask where it was. We were told no food was ordered. When it did arrive it was really good. We then asked for the desert menu and that never arrived. So we decided to go to the till to pay only to have to track down someone so we could pay. Amazing food. Service needs an overhaul.

26/06/2025: I dropped into Murphy's yesterday for a quick lunch before heading back to Dublin. I had never been before and was pleasantly surprised. The bar/restaurant is lovely, lots of room but that's probably because it was mid-week so perhaps not overly busy. There was a lovely atmosphere, with it seems local people enjoying their lunches. The staff were very efficient and friendly. I ordered the starter Prawns Pil Pil along with a glass of Guinness. And this is were the experience faltered. The prawns were a disappointment. The prawns themselves were plentiful and cooked well. The pil pil sauce was dreadful and there was so much of it, the bowl was absolutely swimming with what looked like red oil, and some baby tomatoes and shaved garlic at the bottom. The sauce/oil was completely tasteless with none of the exected pil pil punch. However the accompanying sourdough was lovely as was the Guinness. The lunch was good value and the other dishes I saw going out looked great. So I may have been unlucky. Just a tip to the kitchen, Prawns Pil Pil doesn't need that huge amount of oil!

13/07/2025: Old authentic Irish Pub, no frills or fancy stuff, just character & crack.

15/05/2025: Without doubt the best pint in town!
