Reviews for Murphy's Grand Irish Pub in Alexandria, VA
Great happy hour price for Irish beers! Came here for restaurant week 2022 and they gave a pretty great deal for $25. The clam... chowder soup was good. The pork tenderloin tasted phenomenal! The Jameson cake was great as well. It’s a fun Irish Pub with agood atmosphere and I look forward to coming back. They’re probably my favorite Irish Pub for food/beer in the NOVA area. Read more
Best Happy Hour ever! Beer flights, oysters & some yummy fish ‘n chips. Be aware that street parking is tough to find.... Traffic can be a hassle, along with one way streets. Read more
Good solid bar food. We ordered off the late night menu so there wasn’t a ton of options, but we’d love to come back during... the day. Nachos, potato skins, and fish n chips were all perfectly simple and hit the spot. Decently priced. Live music on aweeknight was aight. Knocking off a star since they have police memorabilia all around the dining room (ew). Read more
Great food and great atmosphere. Very casual and the waitress was super nice. I got the fish and chips and my buddy got a... special where they fried a whole crab! Read more
We stopped in both nights during our stay for drinks and live entertainment. Maddie the bartender was great. Always there... before we we finished our drinks even with the bar full both nights. Never seemed rushed and took the time to answer all thequestions we had about the bar. Easily struck up conversations with people who had definitely been there before. Great vibe,friendly. Read more
Stopped in for drinks and appetizers. Live music started at around 9, so we stayed for that. It was a fun place to people... watch. Place is a little small. Bathrooms were clean, unisex downstairs, men and women restrooms upstairs. Plenty of craftbeers and Irish fare. Read more
Great atmosphere. Very friendly and attentive staff. Appropriate selection of beers and ale. But I was VERY disappointed in the... food. A place called Murphy's should know the difference between a Shepherd's Pie and a Cottage Pie. The Meat and Potato pie wasunlike any pie I ever had in Ireland, or anywhere else. The food is a bad joke. I may go back for a beverage but I'll buy myIrish food elsewhere. Read more
Stopped in to watch the Argentina/Mexico World Cup game and grab a couple of beers. Great ambience, the walls are covered with... the patches of police (& Fire?) Departments from all over the country. The place is obviously a local landmark and as such it'sthe beer & ambience that are key here. Ordered the French Dip after the locals on either side of me steered me away from myfirst choice (Fish and Chips). It was okay. Edible but nothing to write home about. The quality of the meat was a littlesubpar. Definitely not made there and about what you'd expect from a chain sandwich shop. But like I said, I don't think thisis the kind of place you patron for the food. Other notable things: - Service was pleasant and attentive. - Live music isoffered weekly. - Guinness and Black & Tans were perfect for the afternoon. Read more
