Went to Murphy's for the first time Thursday night and sat at the bar. Janet, the bartender was outstanding. Full bar the entire time we were there, and we never waited for a single thing. Food was delicious, but second to the superior service. Will be back sooner than later. Looking forward to our next visit!

Great service, delicious food and great ambiance. I went on a Friday night and was quickly seated in the bar area. Our bartender was very attentive and personable.

Great place for small get togethers as they have medium to smaller rooms you can use. Food is good and price is where you expect for the area.Only down side was the time between placing orders. As an example, when asked for a second drink we asked to place the order in about ten minutes, we were trying to time it with the desert. After about five minutes we placed the desert order, then an additional ten minutes and we were asked if we now wanted to order the drinks? So we ended up with the deserts then the drinks when we were expecting to do just the opposite. Once placed it did not take long though.

Only went here twice - Thanksgiving and Easter Brunch. Both times had the same waitress, both times horrible service. You would think we were diseased the way we were avoided. On Thanksgiving we had the joy of watching the waitress eating with patrons that I guess were friends and on Easter she couldn’t care less if we were on fire. Three trips to fill water glasses one time as she kept leaving and fawning over another table. Never took our plates, never asked what we wanted. I had enough and spoke to the owner. We were then attended to by a manager but it was too late. I will NEVER go back here. Two holidays ruined by the same person is enough. Shame on us for going back.

Great place to grab dinner. We were heading back to MA after seeing a great play in Manchester, NH when we decided to give Murphy's Tavern a try. The bourbon steak tips were delicious and the fish and chips were the best I've had in a very long time! The ambience was lovely, with a solo guitarist on the mic. All in all, a great find!!

The Watermelon "Salad" was amazing! Sweet and savory and so unexpected. The combination of the watermelon and feta and tomato and basil was perfection ? Add a glass of Pinot Grigio to this and it is truly a party for your taste buds! Yum! Service was EXTREMELY slow but the staff was very nice. We'll be back for sure! My husband and I also had the Ahi Tuna Poke appetizer, Buffalo Wings, Tomato Basil soup and the Filet and everything was just fantastic!! What a treat! Thank you!

I’m so confused. All the food was so bland I feel like I shouldn’t be full. It’s like eating air… Like, the restaurant equivalent of pickled ginger. I don’t even taste anything on my tongue… I don’t understand! Really pretty place, lovely staff, the weirdest food experience I’ve ever had… It’s like I dreamed of eating, then woke up.Place is like a siren. Lures you in with a beautiful atmosphere and sweet staff, then you walk out full, but unsatisfied.

We went tonight for the first time ever. We moved here in 2019 and never visited due to the lackluster reviews. We saw the owner personally address some of the biggest past issues on a local Facebook post and decided to finally try the restaurant. It was so good. Our waitress, Bailey, was amazing and we took her recommendations for wine, app, salad and main. Everything was excellent. The fruits and veggies were fresh, the meat was perfectly cooked, and we enjoyed the wine she suggested. They apparently ironed out their staffing issues and hired a new chef a year ago. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

I haven't had a bad experience here. Food is good and service is good. My daughter had her wedding in the carriage house and it was beautiful.

Unexpected pleasure! Great beer selection. Faux Irish pub atmosphere. Best Shepherds Pie this side of Dublin.

Once again had a fantastic time at Murphy's Taproom. Janet was bartending and made my evening so much fun. She is so warm hearted and welcoming.

Amazing food & friendly staff. My only complaint was that the steak was about 1/2 fat - but otherwise very good.

Service was fantastic! Our waitress was attentive, kind and quick. Atmosphere was casual upscale and the establishment was clean. Drinks were strong and tasty. Food tasted really good but felt overpriced.Vegetarian options: A sparse vegetarian selection, and it's not labeled. But there a few options

Valentine's Day was a disaster. Servers/management unclear on menu items. Very long time between courses. Didn't receive one of the items paid for. Very disorganized and disappointing
