“A perfect pub. Live music, lively service, and nachos. We came in for our second stop in Murphy's. They had all the drink info on the wall, a nice big food menu, and plenty of seating. The bartender who's name maybe Nick? Made us feel right at home. He was a step ahead of our needs the whole time as we sat at the bar and took over for an hour. We laughed and enjoyed ourselves immensely. I would consider that first class service. Ritz level, deep into Calaveras. Will be back for a stouty pint.“
“We came at off hours and the place was packed. We're a family of 4 with small kids and there was nowhere to wait for a table. There's also only a few tables to begin with. We were planning on waiting in our car, but just left because everyone was too hungry to wait for the table and then food. I was very disappointed that there weren't more tables, especially outside where a lot more could fit. It's definitely not a spot for a group or with small kids.“
“This is a very local place. If you live within 10 miles, it's a great place to meet the neighbors. If you live farther than that, you'd better have a designated driver because the road is dark and winding up to it. The bartender, Helen, is phenomenal, IMO. They have pool tables and a juke box and an outdoor patio for smokers. Doesn't matter what you smoke. I have not tried the food because I've never been there during serving hours and days. I'm told Friday evening early is when the older locals gather. That's me! Occasionally there is live music. Unfortunately there is no calendar of events.“
“Last August, I visited Camp Angel and Murphys with 4 friends, I discovered this little wine bar, and my fellow traveler said he could drive for me, so I had a cup of beer, it tasted so beautiful. So it was so much fun to find this unforgettable place on my map a year later...“
