Exactly what we expected and hoped for.... We were there on a Sunday night. The football games were on and the real log fire was raging. I think I would live here if they let me. My only complaint is that the food is cooked with no salt. I understand this since many folks need to avoid. There was plenty of on the table to salt to taste. read more

I've been coming to Virginia Beach for 20 years and have recently relocated here. Of the 50 some restaurants that I've eaten at, Murphy's Irish Pub has the worst food that I've eaten. Their Irish standards, including the Sheppard pie, are bland with no seasoning. Anything fried, fish, chips, wings etc are soggy and under seasoned. I'm not sure that their kitchen knows that you need to change out the frier oil on a regular basis. It's a shame as they have a great location, fun attentive staff and have great entertainment. I would suggest eating elsewhere before you come to an event at the pub. read more

Still loving Murphy's Irish Pub after coming here for many years. Every time I've come here, service is great. The food is simple. Nothing too extraordinary. Definitely one of my fav places after a long run. Came here during a taco special once and enjoyed. Each and every time service has been courteous by all employees I've encountered. I love I can go in, grab a quick bite and my tab is taken care of right there at the table. Thank you. read more

Went on Sunday for their Champagne Brunch during the Shamrock Marathon weekend. Got there right at 9 - no wait for a table. Server was very friendly and service was good despite our food being a bit slow to come out (but that was unfortunate timing on our part ordering after a very large party). I got the $2 32oz mimosa and thought when I ordered it that with the price it probably didn't have much alcohol- well I can say that it definitely does! I ordered the dirty bird which was absolutely delicious and the perfect amount of food. Husband got the Irish breakfast with double eggs and an Irish coffee and was very happy with everything. We will absolutely be back next time we are in town! read more

Walked in at about 130, which seems like a good time, but they couldn't even decide which menu was available so they gave me a brunch menu and a lunch menu. Apparently around that time half of the menu isn't even available. After sitting inside and finding something to order we waited 45 minutes for a burger before finally walking out. To make it worse, we were told that our food was late because "there are a lot of people outside on the patio today". I guess the inside people are second rate. Terrible. read more

Live music inside and out and a perfectly poured Guinness. Top it off with a giant collection of patches and a pair of brothers behind the bar that shared my last name! My new watering hole in VB. read more

Ambiance is cool. Nice Irish pub decor. Cocktail drinks are mediocre at best. The "TQ" tasted like children's cough medicine. Burnetts vodka? Yeesh. The Assateauge Island beer was good! The "Hazy like a fox" tasted like cider. The Nachos were third rate- the queso was watery, the actual cheese wasn't melted, the "homemade salsa" was essentially relish and ketchup. Shrimp burger was all bread crumbs and bay seasoning. Good thing it was half priced! Potato skins were flavorless, but the bacon bits were actual bacon. With so many other places to eat in the area, I'd pass this one. read more

The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Our first choice was directly across the street for happy hour oysters, however Murphy's had their own happy hour specials and oysters were on the list! The Jameson bbq wings and Old Bay wings were crispy and flavorful. The steamed shrimp and oysters were also very tasty. There are a few happy drink specials as well as other food items. The restaurant is huge with a nice outdoor eating area. The staff was friendly and helpful. Service was quick and especially for a Friday afternoon! read more

Great service and food! Also priced very well, we really enjoyed the $3 mimosas! Everyone is so friendly even as customers. I fully enjoyed having brunch here. read more

The service was quick and very courteous. However, the claimed signature item, the Beer-Battered Fish and Chips, was underwhelming. We received the orders within literal minutes which suggested it was "sitting". The drinks specials are phenomenal though! I'd definitely return. Overall: 3 out of 5 read more

Must-do on VA beach. Been here a couple Nights and can't believe the quality of live music Sunday-Wednesday nights off season. Amazing. Did wing Wednesday. Big, crispy wings foe $.60 each. Are you kidding me!?!! But super Saucy. So unless you like a wing that swims, order light sauce or on the side. read more

A mix of locals and tourists. Menu needed some help. A very unorganized dining area. Seat yourself, wait for a waitress? The live music was good, but hard to hear over the crowd and lack of speakers. I was staying across the street and went back to back nights. I left the second night after a couple of minutes of standing around waiting to order a beverage. ‍ read more

Last day in VA Beach...out for brunch... Pocahontas was on our list but was too crowded...so we opted for this pub which turned out to be an excellent choice. We had a beautiful waitress named Nicole who took wonderful care of us. She was knowledgeable, sweet, funny, considerate and just generally awesome. They had 2 dollar 32 oz mimosas to start with....and we were off to a great start. We ordered the Irish Country Breakfast, side order of corned beef hash, 3 egg omelette and breakfast burrito. I have to pause and give out a well done for the biscuits..you talk about light, fluffy and tender biscuits. They were delectable. I think I'm going to have to stop here on my regular treks up and down the east coast. Dont sleep on the best Irish pub I've frequented in a long time. read more

Love murphys! Great atmosphere food and trivia. Went there throughout the summer and had a great experience each time!

Our stops at Murphy's have been consistently good since we found it 2 years ago. We stop each beach visit. We have had the Reuben, the burgers the wings and my fav the fried oysters. You can def tell they are Fresh fresh. The she crab soup is the best I have tasted so far here at Va beach...yum! The fries here are amaze balls, kinda a cross between a homemade chip, wedge type potato deliciousness. The service has been consistently good and reliable. The ambiance is def Pub feel but definitely have restaurant seating for families. You can tell there are some regulars at the bar area. It has outside seating as well. Nice friendly place to grab a bite. read more

Murphy's has the best weekend brunch around! If you are a traditional breakfast person, I recommend the Irish Country Breakfast. It comes with eggs, bacon, sausage (delicious links), breakfast potatoes, and a biscuit. The atmosphere is fun, can be loud at times. Service is usually good. read more

Murphy's has been around for a while at the Oceanfront and I was finally able to check them out during lunch. It was eh....I came in and asked if I could sit at the bar. When I looked, I was greeted with a glare from maybe a manager sitting in the bar section (she was the only person in there) that gave me the impression, "don't even think about it". Uhh okay....the dining room is fine I guess. It took longer than usual to be greeted by a server. I sat for a good while when Shana approached me to get my drink order. She appeared to be very timid, like she didn't want to be there. As she walked away, another server greeted me, and wanted to make sure I was being taken care of, since he too, noticed I had been sitting there for awhile. I went ahead and ordered the corned beef sandwich with sauerkraut. That also took quite some time to be served. The restaurant was not that busy since it was during the middle of the week at lunchtime, and after all, what I ordered was nothing fancy. To top it all off, I was charged $2 for a side of sauerkraut, to which Shana never mentioned. Really? I'm glad I was never in a rush to try this place. read more

We ended the day with a wonderful dinner at Murphy's. I'd give this place a 4.5 stars. The atmosphere was pleasant and the food was really good. I recommend this place to anyone. We were promptly seated when we arrived and we had a good server. Stephani continued to check on us all night. We only got water to drink but I did order a drink special called an "Irish Wake." It was a deceivingly strong drink with a pleasant mild alcohol taste. By ordering the drink you get to take home a souvenir mason jar with the Murphy's logo on the side. Anyway, I ordered the Bangers and Mash and my wife ordered two fish tacos(which were on special for $2 each!) Our food arrived to our table in a reasonable amount of time The order was correct and everything was hot and fresh. The gravy on my Bangers and Mash was the star of the show. It made this dish qualify as "comfort food!" The entire dish was actually great. It came with a side of sautéed vegetables. My wife was very satisfied with her fish tacos. I had enough food that she ate a portion of my plate. The place appeared and felt clean. They had live music outside and offered outside seating upon request. You couldn't hear the music inside. The decor infused an Irish theme with a coastal/beach theme. I had a really nice dining experience tonight. read more

I was pleased with the curtsey of the server. Food was fresh not premade or frozen like some of the other restaurants in the area. Overall the environment was comfortable usual Irish pub vibe. read more

Fun atmosphere. Great pour on Guinness (heck, I would hope so) Main dinner was good- fish and chips were not greasy and fish was tasty. Fried Shrimp also cooked nicely. Baked clams with parmesan appetizer was awful, though. Just not cooked/composed well- cheese not melted, overall lukewarm. Server literally tossed it onto the table without plates. What? It wasn't at all crowded so there was no reason for that. Disappointed. read more

Great Irish pub. Had everything you would want. My fish was a little under hooked but everyone else's orders looked great. The place was packed but there was no wait. They have more seating than you would think by looking at the outside. Great crowd and lots of tvs to watch that important game you are looking for. read more

Ordered food via toast to-go. Ordered 8 wings fried hard with extra sauce. I WILL NEVER AGAIN ORDER WINGS FROM THERE! The wings were OVERLY fried! BURNT, I had to pick off the skin to get to the meat because the outside was soo tough, legit unchewable. After maybe 3 wings of having to spit out the tough pieces & pick at it, I threw it in the trash! I love my wings fried hard, I feel like they threw some old wings in the box. Like I'm really disappointed. read more

Good food, good vibe, amazing service. We came back here twice for the food and ambience.

I got the fish and chips; our waitress said that is what they are known for. The fish and chips were very good. My wife got the steak. Bonus: Our waitress was very patient with us (we brought 4 kids). I know we're difficult but she was a champ read more

Love this place. The drinks are good. The live music is a definite plus. The service is good. Food is delicious as well.

I start by saying it's clean spot with live music. Although the food was pretty poor and the waitress we had was unfriendly. We were sat by the kitchen and I asked to change and was sat next to the drink and trash outside but after third table change we got a Great spot on the deck. Lovely deck and fire pits!! We ordered Rubens and salad and burgers. The Ruben has caused awful burps for the rest of the night, I asked my waitress if they had mustard and she walked away and brought back honey mustard salad dressing. The Cesar salad was the butt ends of the romaine and five croutons.. Overall the deck and music is nice but more of just a bar. Treat it as just that and you will be happy just maybe not for dinner read more

The food was pretty good. The happy hour menu was priced well, and the food and service were impressive. The place had a hometown feel without too much going on. I felt right at home in the restaurant. I will be back! read more

A quickly planned trip brought us to Virginia Beach so we didn't research much on things to do. We stopped by based on location and word of mouth. This establishment was just off the main road and very easy to find. Parking seemed adequate although we walked. We were seated right away. There is restaurant, bar, and outside seating. Amanda was great! She was very attentive, personable, and service was on spot. We had fish tacos and Shepherds Pie, both were fantastic. Cocktails were tasty (try Murphy's Irish Wake). There was live music in the bar area which we throughly enjoyed. Exactly what we were looking for. We recommend visiting and are hopeful we will make it back before leaving the area. Loved, Loved, Loved that they support Law enforcement, Military, and First Responders as evidenced by fixtures on walls. read more

Coming here a couple of days after Saint Patrick's day, I kind of expected the staff to still have hangovers. To my delight and surprise, service was attentive, courteous, and prompt. I tried a bowl of their Award-winning she crab soup. It was good. Very good. Almost as good as Manninos, but at a much better price. I had the meat and potato pie. It was delicious! read more
