Murphy’s Irish Pub

Absolutely INSANE on St. Patrick's Day! Definitely expected and definitely appreciated! Between the fantastic musicians, green beer and Jameson, we had an amazing time and will be back again! Of course the wait was long for a table to have some dinner but once we were sat the service was top notch and the food came out relatively quick. Good thing because we were needed some base!! We all had something different, some was great, some not so great! The egg rolls were devoid of any flavor, maybe with some 1000 Island it would be better? The honey mustard just didn't go well, too sweet. The best meal on the menu has to be the Bangers & Mash, it was delicious and everybody absolutely loved it! The burger was small but cooked nice and the fries were nice and crispy outside, soft inside. The Reuben was good, the corned beef was just really lacking much flavor. Spinach Dip is off the charts, I'll be going back for that several times while we're in town! All in all, we had an amazing time, loved the atmosphere, decor and staff!

Where do I begin...check into Embassy Suites--dog friendly, but nothing on-site is...not even a chair ouside at the end of an outside bar. They recommended Murphy's...I'm 1/3 Scottish anyway and was wearin' a Guiness hat so walked a bit down the Boardwalk. Murphys--great outdoor patio...really big, shaded areas, fire pits, nevermind the beer. Speaking of that, $2 off happy hour UK beer (Guiness, Kilkeny, Harp) and 1/2 off wings--but the blow your mind order--75 cent oysters...and HH is 7 days/week. I'm sold. Great service, good crowd, nice vibe / ambiance -- music piped outside. Just great! 5 stars!

At Christmas time this is THE place to get in the spirit! Fun staff! We got the crab cake which wasn’t prepared the way I ordered it. The server offered to replace it and even showed me the receipt when paying that he had ordered it correctly. It was above average and as the before and after photos show, I ate it all! My friend had the soup and sandwich. She later confessed Trader Joe’s soup is better but she enjoyed it. Definitely an enjoyable hang out. The fireplace was worth the visit!

Went in to have a dinner with the family. Food was good and the service was attentive. We did not know they were going to have a band playing right next to our table. The band was good but it really took away from our dinner vibe. I think I will go back for a lunch or dinner on a week night.

Stopped into Murphy’s for the first time and went with the Irish classics – Fish & Chips, Irish Stew with soda bread, and a pint of Guinness. Everything was excellent. The fish was perfectly fried and crispy, the stew was hearty and flavorful with tender beef, potatoes, and carrots, and the soda bread with butter was a great touch. The atmosphere feels like a true Irish pub – lively, welcoming, and yes, a bit loud with people cheering at the TVs for sports (which adds to the vibe). Service was friendly and attentive — my server, Macy E, was very nice and made the experience even better. If you’re in Virginia Beach and want great Irish food with an authentic pub feel, Murphy’s is definitely worth a visit.
