We've been coming since we moved to Stamford two years ago. Yes, the kitchen/grill area is small - but let me tell you what Kyle puts out of it is fantastic. I specifically can recommend the patty melt, rueben and caesar with cajun chicken on top. The specials every day vary, but delicious. On Saturday nights during warm months they have a live band - no cover on their lovely outside patio. John has a quick funny wit and I always leave smiling. It's a wonderful bar for locals and newbys. Very reasonable prices read more

The best chicken wings & onion rings in Stamford ! Awesome customer service. Laid back atmosphere. Highly recommended

Wish I had heard of this place earlier. Really charming little place with a lot of personality. Fantastic service, amazing burger, good parking. Place has a lot of TVs, great for World Cup or any other kind of communal sports viewing. Prices are also excellent. Highly recommended to anyone in Fairfield County and beyond. read more

Murphy's Townhouse Cafe - Bars Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

The quintessential dive bar and a Stamford institution. The wings are hands down, the best in Stamford. Great flatbread pizzas too. Friendly bartenders, no frills decor, a little grungy but definitely clean. Sweet playlist. read more

Awesome neighborhood spot. I was visiting from out of town and found that the restaurant at the hotel was sub par, so I needed to branch out a bit. Great variety on the menu, and the food was great. Not only that, but the service was spectacular. Jessica was the bartender/server; she was super friendly and attentive. Next time I'm in Stamford I'll absolutely come back, great job! read more

Not long after moving to Stamford, this place became a favorite! The bar area has a better atmosphere than the dining area, in my opinion, and there's outdoor seating. I've tried a couple different menu items, as has my boyfriend, and we have always been pleased with our meals (especially fish and chips!). They also have a really impressive brunch menu. Friendly, attentive staff and quick service. A parking lot, too, which is a plus! read more

This one really breaks my heart,...because I like this place,...but they charged me six dollars for a Guinness blonde that's supposed to be $4. And the price was plastered everywhere because it was On st paddys day I uploaded the picture so you guys can see, My first order was an Irish coffee and he put up his hands, like he doesn't know what I'm talking about and then he walked away and took some one else's order! This action really irritated me...why would you walk away?, you clearly know that I want to order a drink!?...After a long time of waiting to get his attention I ordered the Guinness blonde because I thought that order would be easier for him and he overcharges me!, well I was about to have friends Meetup with me and I was hungry myself, BUT nope,...not going to help you make more money from me, with service like that!, I texted my crew and told them I was on my way to Casey's Tavern ..bad business decisions happen all the time I guess...oh well plenty of other Irish bars in town... read more

Murphy's Townhouse Cafe - Bars Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

I've been going here for almost 20 years. The food is great. I love their grilled wings... very chill atmosphere... play some cards or darts. read more

Went here for brunch the first time and I am really skeeved out. I think that if restaurants here were required to post letter grades of their sanitary compliance this place would not pass. I found several hairs in my food and the whole place smells like a damp basement. Even the bathroom is cringe worthy. This place would probably be fine for drinks but I would never eat here again. read more

This rating is solely based on their Brunch as that's the only time I go there. Their breakfast burger is still the best burger I've ever had! They also have great drinks for brunch. The screw drivers were quite generous, served in mason jars with lots of Tito's. The staff is so nice and attentive. Always a great experience. read more

The best bar I've been to in Stamford! The bartenders are so kind and respectful and the food is amazing. The spinach artichoke dip is superb. Tim and Dan are so attentive and truly care about the customers! Highly recommend! read more

Love this local Restaurant, burgers are bomb plus Tim and Dan provide the best service!! Couldn't speak more highly of this family owned joint! read more

Just ate at Murphy's Townhouse. Absolutely one of The best meals ever...5 stars. Service was fabulous too. Thanks. read more

Awesome dive bar spot for the locals in the area. This place had a great vibe compared to some of the stuffy expensive bars in Stamford. The bartender was quick and polite. The outdoor patio has a ping pong table and a couple little games to keep you busy while enjoying drinks. We did not eat here but my friends got a burger and a quesadilla which both looked very good and they both seemed to enjoy their meals. Would definitely come back next time I'm in the area. read more

Looking for a true neighborhood bar with really good drinks, great pub food and a slew of character and characters? This is it! Nothing pretentious. Friendly bar keeps. Bar, table and outdoor seating (complete with water feature). KILLER Cheeseburgers & Wings...KILLER! Go, relax, enjoy... Wish I was there right now! :-) read more

Moved across the street a few months ago. This is a great find for football Sunday's. Great neighborhood bar with good food/service. Can't wait to see what college bball (cuuuse!) season brings. Loses a star because people do smoke on the patio but will still be back. read more

I love this place! Have been coming for years! Went on a Saturday afternoon for a beer and burger. Bartender was great. Customers at the bar were clearly drunk at 1230 and vaping and laughing at the sign on the door that said "no vaping". They dropped the f bomb every 2 seconds and made rude remarks about women and minorities. Very sad. Quickly paid my tab and left. read more

Great dive type place. Service was very good. Grilled chicken wings are some of the best I have ever had. Very reasonably priced. I will go back. read more

This is my FAVORITE local brunch spot! The unlimited mimosas are the icing on the proverbial cake. Nice, clean atmosphere!

Hands down the best bar in Stamford... bar service is top notch and food is great... not many places left like this in Stamford... get the grilled naked wings all day! read more

Murphy's Townhouse Cafe - Bars Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

Fun place. Especially the outside deck. Hang out in the sun in summer or around the fire pit in winter. Regular menu has great wings and burgers, but the specials deserve attention. read more

Went here for a big unplanned family dinner a few weeks ago with a bunch of us and they were so accomodating! We had the whole back room to ourselves. Every one of us had a delicious meal! Their burgers are delicious and the potpie is really amazing (and HUGE), baked there on the spot. read more

Visited this place on a Sunday afternoon because of the reviews.It was pretty empty. I have to say this place is pretty overrated. The waiter was nice. The wings were alright, nothing special really. The burger wasn't special ether. Probably won't be going back. read more

I luv the ombionce of this place. Any time u go to a Irish bar, u must have a pint of guiness. Great place to have brunch. Chicken and waffles was really good. The steak and eggs were average. The staff was very nice and courteous. read more

What an amazing experience! Had to pinch myself twice to make sure I wasn't dreaming!

Definitely coming back again. Friendly, un-pretentious bartenders, stiff drinks, locals, outdoor seating. Minimal tool population.

Yesterday I went with friends to Murphy's Townhouse cafe. We ordered a few drinks and food. We liked the food. We paid the bill with a Decent TIP to the lady who served us. This was my first time and liked the place. My friends and I were discussing to frequently visit this pub to hangout. But this thought changed after this staff guy(Bald and beard with black t- shirt) followed us to parking lot and asking DID YOU GUYS PAY TIP. First thing is he didn't serve us and also didn't check our BIll, where we did add a decent tip. I hope Murphy's owner/management take action to train this guy on basic things like how to talk or behave with customers and not chase to parking lot and asking for TIP. I would definitely not go there again as it seems quite dangerous to get followed. read more

Not sure I would call this a "hipster pub" like the guy below me but it's a cool place. A great neighborhood joint... amazing people, drinks are strong and the food was pretty darn good. Just a great place to hang out, relax and have some fun. read more

Came here for brunch, left 4 hours later. Service was incredible along with the bottomless mimosas, screwdrivers and bloody marys! Awesome patio with it's very own ping pong table!!! read more

Love Murphys! It's my happy hour go to on Friday night with my girlfriends! Rich and John are amazing! the marg flatbread is a great drunk food with a side of onion rings! I definitely recommend Murphys all throughout the year. Their patio is perfect for summer with ping pong and another game. Inside they have I believe 4 dart boards. Highly recommended. read more

Yup, Murphy's. This place rocks. It's hard to find a local, unpretentious bar where you can hear yourself think and isn't littered with girls who are way too impressed with themselves and dudes that can't think of anything but doing Jeager bombs. Do you like hamburgers? I bet you do. Murphy's has the best burger in town, hands down. As a previous review stated, if you live in (and around) Stamford and "you haven't been here, then you suck." I completely agree. read more

Great Bar. This is a traditional bar, no frills. Great Bartenders, a few dinner specials, fair prices. Outdoor seating.

Officially the cheapest beer in the city. It's around $3 a pint for the basics which is safely a bought half that for the rest of this silly city. The Chick (also cheap around $8) on the menu is by far the best, always the same, and delicious. You almost cant go wrong with most anything on the specials. The place hs one bartender and one cook. Can't beat the simplicity. It seems like a rough place when walking in but don't judge too quickly. This is quickly becoming our go to spot for a good and cheap meal or drinks out. read more

Really solid neighborhood joint. Just came back from brunch and Murphy's did not disappoint. We were a party of 5 and the bill came out to less than $80. A steal for the quality of food you get. I ordered the eggs benedict, the egg yolk was just right, not too runny or solid. We also got the steak & eggs, french toast & the breakfast burger - all of them cooked right. Also - if you come in after 2:30pm - try the quesadilla! read more

Great burger. Friendly service. Friendly gathering of what seemed to be laid-back regulars. Almost forgot I was still in Fairfield County.

Love it here. Great outdoor seating, music and service. Food is great! Try the turkey wrap.

I've never seen such a selection of great beers on tap, including Sip Of Sunshine. Enjoyed delicious beer on the nice patio and will definitely be coming back. read more

Love Murphy's. Great food and drink at a reasonable price! Had the Cobb salad and my husband had the Cajun chicken wrap, along with Sip of Sunshine on draft, and we loved both. read more

Great burgers, great beer, great atmosphere. My wife and i were so excited to find a cool neighborhood pub that has an outdoor patio (with outdoor TV's and firepit), a lot of TV's and good ambiance. This will likely become our neighborhood go to for great food and drinks. it's just genuine. read more

Been a regular for so many years. The upgrade defiantly helped the place. Better beer on tap, and more food options. If I go downtown, I'll go to Murphy's. read more
