Really nice place, looks like a traditional Irish pub. The Smithwick's beer was spot on. The fish and chips were really nicely fried; the fish was a haddock that was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, with a nice bit of exterior crisp in addition. The slaw was nicely vinegary and flavorful, the chips quite decent. The Shepherd's pie was a tad salty but presented in a disciplined, nicely layered way, with a mix of the mash, ground beef, and peas. The flavoring was rich, yet subtle. read more

Visited Mrs Murphy's before a concert at The Chevalier. Love the decor of this Irish Pub, and the pub is casual and comfortable. They have an outdoor patio as well as traditional pub bar and table seating indoors. Service was ok, things like placing an order, getting another round of drinks, and getting our check took a long time. Food was decent. We started with the poutine fries, which were really good. The Irish breakfast was amazing, and it is served all day. The shepherds pie was good as well. My steak and ale pie was disappointing because it wasn't really a pie - it was more like a stew with puff pastry on top and was nothing like what I've had in Ireland. All in all, a decent pub if you are in the area. read more

Terrible! I called ahead and asked if I could bring my daughter and they told me absolutely. We were having so much fun and enjoying the music until the drunk owner came over and shut down the music because it was not what he wanted. And said my daughter was not allowed and kicked us out. It was before 10pm and I specifically called and asked for my daughter to come and was told it was no problem. The rest of the place and my and my friends were having such a good time. The drunk owner was so rude and ruined the night. Don't go here. The guy is the worst. One guy can really ruin the whole place. The rest of the staff was awesome. read more

Came back to have the potato and leek soup and fish and chips. Fish and chips was served with a big piece of fresh haddock and it was pretty good. I also got a side of curry sauce for the chips and that was a good move. Service was a bit slow, it seemed like there was only one server. They forgot our waters and when the food arrived they forgot to give us cutlery and napkins, so we flagged them down a couple times. It was very dark inside, but the festive decor added some light and pops of color. The space was pretty full and it got a touch noisy but we were still able to have a decent conversation. Will be back for some Guinness and meat pies at the bar. read more

Solid Irish pub in Medford, I will definitely return! I had a steak and apple pie, which was equal to the best that you'd get in the UK. they had Peroni on draft. It would be good if they got an equivalent Irish or UK beer such as Harp or Tennents. read more

I wanted to try this place a second time before writing a review and I'm glad I did. First and foremost, this feels like an authentic Irish bar and is in fact a local neighborhood bar. Nice seating at the bar as well as high tops and regular tables as well as a patio out back. It's mostly hard seating with little acoustic treatment so it's a bit loud. But it's a friendly local bar with a very interesting menu. Despite my ancestry, I'm not the biggest fan of Irish food, but there was plenty on this menu that caught my interest. I went with the Reuben sandwich which I haven't had in a while and it was great. The other dish was Sausage Rolls, Irish sausage and a puff pastry nicely seasoned. This was really flavorful and filling. The service was prompt and friendly. The beer menu was quite nicely varied. The wine selection limited. All in all very satisfied with Mrs. Murphy's. read more

Solid Guinness pour, Irish breakfast all day, cool decor, homey vibe, friendly bartender, big whiskey selection... what's not to like? Just tried this place for the first time recently and will definitely be a regular stop for me when in medford. read more

Grabbed a quick lunch - love the interior vibes and staff was super friendly and attentive. Food was delicious as well! My dad and I both loved our meals, and will return. read more

Welcome to Medford Square and cannot wait to be back to try the food. The space was fairly dim not to make one out of place and neither makes one take out the phone torch for everything. The decor is cozy and loved the ambiance. 5 stars for the prompt service on an opening night which was super busy. I did not expect to have a host or find spot to be seated but the main guy behind the bar was super fast and attended all. Definitely want the "Not my Nana's tea" next time to try. The Tipperary was interesting and closer to a fruity old fashioned and the curry fries were hot and nice. Hope the service remains as good as today and we all can say : Job well done. read more

First time visiting this establishment and I ordered the Fish & Chips, believe it or not this was only the second time I've had fish & chips, this dish was beyond delicious, The Fish ( Haddock) was so flavorful & didn't need a knife to cut the fish just melts in your mouth all around very good meal, I would definitely recommend this restaurant, the only minor setback was parking, they do have parking in back of square, I'll definitely be returning again read more

It's been a few months since I've eaten here. I'm not sure if they have new kitchen staff, but our entire table agreed it wasn't very good at all. Much worse from prior times I've eaten here. That's disappointing as I want this place to thrive. The staff are friendly and the service is great. I'll still go for drinks but will likely dine elsewhere. read more

We visited on Saturday @5pm St. Patrick's day weekend. The place was packed! We were committed to wait for a table, so we grabbed a drink from the bar. Once seated, the service was amazing ,friendly and efficient. For starters the Eileen's Feta Dip was so tasty. Our entrees were the Veggie Shepherds Pie and a Reuben with fries. Both were Absolutely delicious and exactly what we're craving. They have an impressive cocktail, beer, bourbon and whiskey menu. Super inviting atmosphere, live music was a nice bonus. Overall, great experience! We're so excited to have this as an option in Medford Square. See you soon. read more

Absolute treat of a pub ahead of High Kings concert across the road. Guinness poured proper, cocktails decent, and our fish n chips, Shepard's pie, and sausage rolls hit the spot. Will be back for the Reuben and all day breakfast. Great live music and despite being packed to the brim st pattys weekend we secured a table for two that came with attentive friendly quick service. Glass was never empty despite barely any standing room. read more

Solid Irish pub in the heart of Medford. Guinness is as close as I've got outside of Ireland, fish and chips is the best I've had in the US. Sheperds pie needs more potato, the ratio is all off. read more

Mac and cheese is on point. Shepard's pie is fire. But the fish and chips are literally the best I've ever had, in the US or Ireland (or England for that matter.) Add to that - you can get a fantastic pint of Guinness and they have Irish sessions all week long. As someone who's lived in both Ireland and the States, this is now my little slice of Irish heaven. Truly authentic Irish pub. PS - I'm not usually a cocktail person but "Not Your Nana's Tea" comes served in proper China and is delicious. It's a conversation piece along with being a seriously good cocktail. read more

Disappointed in my visit to Mrs Murphys Pub. After seeing it on Phantom Gourmet, I was eager to go there. My wife and I were seeing a live show on a Sunday night so we went to MMP for dinner. There appeared to be only ONE server for the whole restaurant area. He never brought the water we requested along with our drinks. The Guinness was good but the food wasn't up to par. The shepherds pie was watery. The Reuben sandwich was just good enough. I never had Guinness cake dessert before so I don't know if it was supposed to be sooooo DRY. The live Irish music was a plus. read more

Fun atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food - what more could we ask for? Live music for St Paddy's weekend! The Irish nachos were surprisingly good- sauerkraut, Swiss & corned beef on tortilla chips? YES PLEASE!! Might have to go back tomorrow for the dinner menu :) read more

My new fav pub in the Medford area. Limited seating but def a typical pub feel. I did not visit the patio so seating may not be a big concern. The live duet was amazing- talented kids doing great work. Service was excellent...A+ late night food...fish and chips, fish...unreal light and flakey. Best I've had in Boston. The shepherds pie could use a twist, maybe more gravy and broiled top but hard to mess this up so I'm not complaining (kind of regret not getting the steak and ale though). Drinks were all amazing- 100 A+. Can't wait to visit again. read more

This place was busy at 8 PM on a Friday, but not crowded. East enough still to order from the bar and find a spot for a drink or two. Hostess was attentive and friendly. I thought the Irish music was just a recording but actually live, with musicians tucked away in the back. So good! Crowd was a bit older, but chill and friendly. It was like the Burren but smaller, newer, cleaner and less of the young drunkenness. I didn't eat any food, and one negative was that you are hit with the smell of fish and chips when you enter the pub, but otherwise beautiful, well designed and good use of space. Beer selection great - Sip of sunshine, Kona on tap! Thanks to the team for bringing this to Medford! read more

Had a great experience this evening before a show at the Chevalier Theatre. The pub was super busy but the staff was spectacular and worked very hard to get everyone served and to the show on time. Last but not least, both my Reuben and my wife's fish and chips were excellent. read more

Thank you Mrs Murphy for coming to good old Medford. We have been waiting for you for what feels like a lifetime. Our family of four were promptly welcomed for lunch and immediately brought to an open table. The live Irish music was a nice touch for opening weekend. We will be back to try the appetizers/soups/salads as we focused on a couple pints and the sandwiches for our first visit. Both the kids and adult cheese burgers were spot on with golden brown fries. The cheese and ham & cheese pressed sandwiches were good as well. Almost too pressed! We look forward to returning for dinner with appetizers and dessert. read more

Not a lot of drink choices. Limited with their alcohol stock. Good vibe though. Service was good.

Great food, perfect pours, fantastic traditional music. All around perfect Irish pub.

It's good to have an authentic Irish pub in town. They pour a good pint. Have tried only the Reuben with the potato and kale soup, both were excellent. Great wall decor read more

Absolutely terrible. Drinks are all ice asked for little ice got a 1/4 glass of drink, not even an inch when poured it into a water glass, food was aweful couldn't even eat it. Stay clear of this place. First and last visit. read more

Excelent food. Great service, except for the bartender. I ordered an Irish Coffee. 8t was delicious with the cream on top. I wanted to stir it and our serve3r was nowhere to be found. So I walked up to the bar and asked for a couple if stirrers. The bartender, female blonde hair, actually refused and told me to ask my server! Really? So I had to wait another 10 minutes foe my server to show up so I can enjoy my coffee. read more

We ordered take out and got the fish n chips. The haddock was delicious with the perfect amount of batter and the fries were yummy too. Good portions. read more

This place is great! Good food, fun bar, great servers! Love that is located right in Medford Square.

Loved our visit to Mrs. Murphy's Pub! Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and best of all--a proper pint of Guinness poured just right. It's the kind of place that feels like a true local pub. Sofia our waitress was attentive and a great waitress. We'll definitely be back for another round! read more

Food is great. Friendly service. Local vibe. Small but really adds to the ambience. Feels like it has been there for 100 years.

My sisters and I stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and everything was perfect! We walked into a cozy, neighborhood Irish pub where there was live music playing and a mix of people enjoying their perfect Guinness pours. The server was kind, friendly and attentive. The food and drink were great. The environment encourages making friends with the strangers at the next table. I cannot wait to return! read more

We went here for lunch on a Monday. Decor was traditional wood-paneled pub with comfortable wooden chairs and bench. Waitress was very busy but also attentive and pleasant demeanor. We both had the fish and chips. One very large piece of tasty, sweet white fish in crisp, light breading, correctly prepared chips, and a light simple cole slaw. Tartar sauce was good, and the fish and chips were also served with malt vinegar and a small cup of ketchup. Guinness is available in half pints. Nothing fancy, but very satisfying in the way that only comfort food correctly prepared can be. I asked the waitress to tell the cook that we wanted to take them home with us, and she said that she would pass the message along, but we never got a response. read more

Went there with my wife last week and had a great time! I highly recommend the Irish Maid cocktail! It was delicious! My wife wouldn't stop stealing sips from my glass. A HUGE plus is that the kitchen is open late! We got there at 9:30pm and were delighted when we could order a Reuben to split. The sandwich was great. Both slices of bread were crispy which was nice. Usually when I get a Reuben the bottom slice is a bit soggy. The fries that come with it were OK but could be better. The service was good. There was an attentive young man who stopped by our table a few times and I liked his vibe. The ambiance is awesome! The place looks great and there's so many things to look at and enjoy. However, I'm a bit surprised the live music is stuck in the corner by bathrooms and not in the front window, like most places. All in all, we will definitely be back! Have a feeling this will be a regular spot for the wife and I. We're extremely excited to have a much-needed pub, with live music, in Medford Square! read more

We went into the pub and ordered a mac n cheese and a pot pie. We got our food and the mac n cheese barely had any sauce on it, and the pie tasted like it came from a can. Not going back there! The food is disgusting! read more

Good Guinness. Great atmosphere. Incredible people....... one thing I know for certain, I will be coming back.
