Murphy's Pub - Abhijit - Irish Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The new owners have destroyed this magnificent bar. On multiple occasions, myself and friends have experienced rude behavior, especially to the female customers. The staff used to be the main reason a lot of us came to Murphy's. Hard working, congenial people who loved being there. Most of the good staff have either quit or have been fired. These owners appear to be new to the bar ownership game. They will need to rethink how they operate or they'll be bankrupt in a year. So sad. read more

A long time coming as Murphy's is right in my neighborhood and hadn't visited. Glad I've done so as rumors start warm that Murphy's and other neighboring buildings may be sold off. I Stopped by Murphys while doing a bit of bar hopping with a friend. We decided to grab some food here while at it. Wouldn't you know it, it was steak Wednesday and that's what I decided I'd go with. There are 4 to choose from - Blue Cheese Steak, Surf n Turf, Steak Oscar and Steak and Fries. I went with the Steak Oscar - which features crab meat, whiskey cream sauce, gravy and veggies. It came out great and as described, nice and tender, the sauce was a great addition, didn't need anything extra. It went great with a couple of pints. It's often crowded here but was able to appreciate watching some sport highlights with company and good meal. If their quiet nights are like in my visit it would be a shame for such a long-standing pub to go. read more

I've not been here in a great while. Hubby wanted pub food, so we decided to check out Murphy's Pub. Shepherd's Pie was delish and hubby's Paddy Melt was tasty too. I'm interested in coming back for the fish & chips, which is served on Fridays. Good food with great service. read more

What is there not to like about Murphys? I love a good old historical building with some history and Murphys has got it. Great vibes inside, good selection of drinks, and a back patio if you're not feeling it inside! Prompt service even when it's busy during trivia nights, can't ask for more! Love this spot! read more

Murphy's Pub - Vitamin G - Irish Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This used to be an Irish bar that played Irish music. As I'm sitting here having a really not-that-great cocktail with a portion half what it used to be, I have heard Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Extreme and Metallica. I know this place got bought recently, and I am placing this solely on the owner. You bought a neighborhood Irish bar and fucked the atmosphere. Some of the live "entertainment" that has shown up in the past month is unfit for this place. We come here for the atmosphere, the employees, and the food (which thankfully seems to still be the same). Not sure how much longer I can support this place as regularly as I once did. Nobody asked for these changes. literally nobody. read more

Brrrrr. Cold day.Thank goodness for the fireplace and delicious food here! Started with the salmon and vegetable soup, which came with a healthy amount of tortilla chips fried in-house. So fresh! Also had the hot and freshly made mac n cheese, with garlic bread. Really good! Mmmmmmm read more

Haven't been to Murphys in decades but it delivered even better vibes and food than I remember from the 90s. Fun.

Not the healthiest options, but nothing beats the food here after a long day in the office, plus a little whiskey on the side. Big fan of the sandwiches, the beef stew, and that soda bread. Scotch Eggs are nice too if you can squeeze that in. The space is large, but it can get tight in here during prime time. Wonderful vibe with all sorts of seating - tables, high tables, bar, window ledge area, sofas, etc. Service is outstanding. read more

Murphy's Pub - Irish Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I hate to leave a bad review, because Murphy's is one of our neighborhood pubs, and my family and I really want to support it. It has lovely ambiance, acceptable pub grub, and good live music. But today, for the third time in a row, the service was non-existent. We stopped in on a slow afternoon to have a beer and some food. There was one person working, and he never even looked up. Just kept his eyes and full attention on the bar, and the two(!) people sitting there. We were hungry, and there was only one other table-seated party in the place besides us. But after over ten minutes of waiting, we left and looked for another place to eat. And as mentioned, this wasn't the first time. Once, we waited 45 minutes for food after ordering. When our waiter brought the check, he apologized profusely for the food wait, and said our drinks would be free, as an apology. But the guy working the bar (not our waiter), took the check from my hand, took it back up to the bar, and put the drinks back on it. Yet another time, we finished our meal and waited over thirty minutes for the check, I don't understand it. We're always polite to the staff, and we tip generously. Is it because we often have a kid with us? Or do all customers have the same experience? Once, I was paying the cover charge there for St. Patrick's Day, in the early evening. I commented to the woman working the door that it was nice to have an Irish pub within walking distance. She replied, "we're open other days of the year too, you know." Yes, I know. And I have tried to be supportive of this beloved local neighborhood pub. But the service is consistently glacial in both speed and warmth. Hence, I tend to look for other restaurants and watering holes. It saddens me, because I really want to love Murphy's. Maybe I'll go back if the service gets better. But based on past experience, I doubt that will happen any time soon. read more

Okay, I love this bar! An Irish pub is always a favorite for me but this one is great because it has that true Irish pub feel. Stained glass, wood interior, a great patio and a little snug. I love the cozy fireplace too! read more

Some of the best Irish/comfort food I've had in Seattle. Fried chicken dinner is amazing, good portion size and very reasonable price, especially considering the average price eating out these days. Service is great too! Every server and bartender have been professional and friendly. One of my new favorite places for drinks and food. read more

My friends and I came to Murphy's for the first time this past St. Patrick's Day. As expected, this Irish pub was booming with people. We arrived around midnight and were able to get in without having to wait in line. Note there is a $10 cover fee CASH ONLY when you enter. I'm not sure if they have a cover fee every night, or if it's only because they had live music that night. My group made our way to the bar and we're able to get service within ten minutes. Most of my friends got Guinness, but I opted for a simple Two Towns Cider on tap ($9 plus tip). The cider was crisp and fresh. After grabbing our drinks, we found a standing spot in the back as all tables were taken. We probably could've found seating outside on the patio though. We were hoping the kitchen would still be open, but there kitchen closes at 11 or 12 (I couldn't find an exact time anywhere). I was a little disappointed because their famous Reuben sandwich looks absolutely delicious and so I'll have to come back for that! The restaurant itself isn't super clean if I'm being honest. The outdoor patio is fine, but the floors inside are stickier than a frat house floor. It was like I was stepping in honey with every foot forward. There was also food on the ground and someone else's leftover food sitting on the window ledge that wasn't picked up until we left. The live music was decent and the lineup had a good selection of songs. It was very loud, but it was a St. Patty's Day party after all. Overall: 4/5 for drinks, 3/5 for service, 2.5/5 for atmosphere read more

I came here years ago at the wee hours of the night! We sat near the fireplace! It was my birthday and I missed a flight to be with my bf. My friend came to meet me. I think it was the only place opened near by. I didn't order alcohol at all but the vibe was right :) Now I find myself parked close and it's the only place open. Feels very "How I Met Your Mother" vibe. Food is good. The size of the restaurant is nice. read more

Our whole family loves Murphy's - the baby and the dog! We really appreciate that it's dog-friendly inside. The atmosphere is warm and authentic with really good vibes - it gives us that feeling of home (we moved from Ireland a decade ago). The Irish nachos and fish and chips are our go-tos, and the Guinness is always poured right. Eamonn (the owner) is a top guy, and all the staff are so welcoming. Always a great experience - our favorite spot in Seattle! read more

A cute, cozy pub with good Irish food! We all enjoyed our meals (though they are definitely hearty & rich!). I've tried twice now to attend trivia night but the place is always packed! Must have to get there very early to snag a slot on tues/Thurs nights. read more

The ambiance is stellar! An old traditional bar is a cornerstone in the Wallingford district.

Murphy's Pub - Irish Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A fun little Irish pub nestled into the heart of Wallingford -- it's a no-frills spot with tables, booths, and bar seating. They serve up classic Irish pub fare which is filling and tasty, as well as a selection of beers on draft. They have a small stage, occasionally featuring performers. It's a fun spot to catch a game and I'm sure that it would be really fun on St. Patrick's! read more

Seattle's oldest Irish pub. Great place to pop into for a sandwich and a cold brew and the service was amazing. Only one person during lunch but a lot of people and she ran it like a pro, hats off to her. My Reuben was outstanding. Food is good, nice authentic Irish feel to the place. Definitely worth checking out. read more

One of my favorite bars in the whole city. Great food, super-friendly staff, fun live music. I know they're odd thing to get at an Irish pub, but you won't be disappointed in the Taco Tuesday deal or the Blackened Salmon/Chicken Caesar Salad. Trivia on Tuesdays and Thursdays!! read more

Stopped by this Irish pub for a meal on Sunday. The service was great, love the bartender/waitress! The meat was a bit bland and underwhelming, we weren't sure if that is an Irish thing or this spot in particular does season their meat/stew. Would be willing to try other things on their menu as it is very extensive!. The whiskey bread pudding with Guinness was the best part. read more

21+ cute little joint. The service was good, the drinks were tasty. The food was awesome. We tried the Irish nachos, the crispy brussel sprouts, and the shepherds pie. The Irish nachos were perfectly cooked, and all of the toppings were perfect compliments to the potatoes. I wish I had ordered no jalapeños because I don't do spicy, but after pulling them off the spice wasn't too bad. The Brussels were well seasoned and the bacon and pecans were crispy compliments. I wish the Brussels themselves were a little crispier, but the flavor was awesome. The shepherd's pie was good, not over the top delicious, but good. The bread was decent. It was hearty and earthy and went well with the gravy. Overall, a super good experience. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area. read more

Fiiinaaalllyyy properly made fish and chips!!! They were awesome. We also had the Scottish eggs and the beef stew that did not come in a bread bowl but was adequately paired with a slice of sourdough buttered bread that was amazing, the bowl might have been too much! The bar tender made me a "black velvet" (Guinness and strawberry cider) it was amazing. The atmosphere was cool and laid back, they had a live band playing soulful bluesy music, good crowd and the service was awesome. Will definitely come back whenever we're in Seattle. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Seattle. I had my first date with my boyfriend here and feel a deep connection to Irish pubs in general. The food Ive had is great, always meant to go on the weekend for brunch. Beer is always cold, foods always hot, service is pub style and bathrooms are clean. Its my favorite Seattle Irish pub left standing. I think they may be affiliated with Trinity food truck. read more

Murphy's Pub - Refreshments - Irish Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Murphy's is just about as classic as an Irish pub can get. There's lots of dark wood, stained glass windows, and (of course) plenty of Guinness on tap. They offer the requisite Irish pub-inspired dishes, like stew and fish & chips, along with a few healthier options to cater to the active Seattle crowd. They have a pretty well hidden beer garden that's lovely on a warm evening. They have lots of great local beers on tap, but I usually grab my fave Irish bar drink: an immortal Black 'n Tan. Their trivia nights (held twice a week) are super fun. I've been a few times now and there's always a large crowd. Service can (understandably) be a little slow when it's busy, so I try to settle up my tab before the trivia rounds are finished. read more

Murphy's Pub - Trivia night! - Irish Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Traditional Irish Pub, late night food great beers on tap and the best corned beef Reuben sandwich well worth going even if it for that.

The best Irish pub I've ever been to! Awesome staff, atmosphere, food (including the specials) and selection of beers especially the Guinness! You definitely must stop by on a Thursday night for their trivia. I've never done a trivia like theirs, and now I don't want to play trivia anywhere else! The layout of trivia is just so unique and is very interactive. Get there early though because it gets packed! We also stopped by one morning to try the Irish breakfast, and it was everything I hoped for (and more). Delicious and filling. Can't wait to go back and visit again soon! read more

A hidden gem in downtown Everett. The perfect atmosphere to remind me of of my visits to Ireland. Yes, they have Guinness and sherds pie, what more does one need. OK, the Bar Winch is very nice also! read more

Consistently excellent place to be. Last visit was over twenty years ago and the ambiance and craic are still spot on. Lovely food and great service. Beer is always good. Just wish they had Murphy's on tap or if they could resurrect Caffreys.... read more

Finally made it back yesterday & happy to report they've fixed the Reuben and it's now the best I've ever had and I can't wait to go back and have another one. But, the order of fish & chips for $14 only had 2 small pieces of fish. We arrived at 1:55pm on Sunday afternoon looking for a bite & a pint and the Sounders match to watch. Our excellent server Princess Katie put the TV on the right channel for us. She is a rockstar. Fabulous service. Note: On Sunday they serve Brunch til 3pm with limited other lunch food offerings. read more

Great staff and great food, and kid-friendly. The wait staff were very attentive and friendly. Good selection of beers. We've eaten at Irish pubs in many cities, and the food at Murphy's is the best. I'm not sure if Irish Gourmet" is a term, but it accurately describes this place! I had the Reuben - really good corned beef, the kraut was just the right tang (tasty but didn't overpower the sandwich like at other places), and the marble rye was excellent. Wife had the Paddy Melt (also on the marble rye) and said it was one of the best she's had. Kiddos had the Mac and cheese and chicken strips and scarfed them down. Happy family = great dining experience :-). Our new favorite Irish pub. read more
