Absolutely a traditional Irish bar and they keep it that way by not trying to be anything else. The food is excellent the bartenders are excellent and the owners are great people. Great job guys love it. I only wish that other places would have true bartenders that pay attention period take a lesson from these guys they've got it down pat

Great wings. Cold beer. Great to watch sports. Bar tenders are Irishly friendly. Solid

My husband and I just picked up takeout. I've been recovering from an illness and haven't been able to eat anything because nothing appealed to me so I wanted to try something new. I got a burger and fries and my husband got a patty melt. It was really delicious! As I told my husband, I can't even remember the last time I actually finished a meal. We will definitely be back in person. Update: my husband said it might be the best burger he's ever had

I’m writing this as a local resident who lives around the corner. Went to this place tonight to support a friend whose grandmother was just diagnosed terminally ill. I sat down to order beer when I received a passing glance from the bartender, Tony. He made somewhat of a remark like “what do you want” to which I stammered a bit as I was taken aback and replied “Allagash”. He poured the beers and took my card coming back because it was prepaid. He asked me rudely if it was prepaid and then gave it back to me as I suggested Apple Pay to which he staunchly didn’t accept and also rudely responded to. I’m a local, I would’ve just walked to my house and got another card but my friend put me on his tab. After this is finished, I make one joke at the bar to which I receive a dirty look from this same bartender. At this point I had enough. I cash appd my friend enough for a couple of rounds and left resigning to never enter again. After ten years in hospitality management, I can honestly say Tony, you’re terrible at this. Get a different job. You’re old and washed up if you treat a customer this way.Edit:1 Star to 3 StarsDuring the day I went again,Breakfast burger was banging and Alex at the bar went above and beyond.Will continue to update as I’d like to see them with 5 stars.Thank you Alex!

Great Guinness, service is excellent, wings are very good as is the rest of the menu. Miss the live Irish music though.

Very good food. The prices are reasonable. And Tony the bartender is fabulous and very knowledgeable and friendly

Big E.

Great atmosphere. Great music. But that's it. Prices are really high. Nickel and dime you. Extra $2 for wing sauce on the side. C'mon?!? Used to go all the time but less and less now.

Best bar in Stamford! Friendly staff, great selection, underrated food (really good wings!). Jukebox you can control from your phone, dart boards, Murphy's has it all.We've tried all the bars around Stamford and always find ourselves coming back to Murphy's.

Great food. Great drinks. Great place. It is a local bar with limited parking. Sunday football at the bar is crazy, which is cool, but if you want quiet the tables in the back are better. I prefer a casual evening at the bar with food and drinks. Definitely a go to place for me if you want to be off the Bedford strip and relax.
