What a gorgeous bar! I only stayed for a few drinks but the vibe was relaxing, clean, the staff are super friendly, I absolutely LOVE Karmela, she’s a star, very friendly, on the ball, bubbly and clearly amazing at her job. Always love seeing her when I come in View all feedback.
What Anonym dislikes about Murray's:
I had to think how I'm going to finish it, and that's it. I love murrays bar in the upper o 'connell street, I love the music groups dubh linn the Celtic gypsy play there in the evening and I love the murrays irish dancer and the bar staff super cool, but in the evening waiters up to the managers have to do something about the setting. that is not just my opinion when they look at some reviews. Unfortunately, the man... View all feedback.

A very nice bar, but also very large. Live music starts at 8:30 pm. The atmosphere was lovely and the restrooms were very clean.
A great place for a lovely evening with live music and dancing. Reservations are essential, but last-minute bookings are also possible.
Top-notch pub. Good food, reasonable prices, very friendly staff, and a great musical atmosphere in the evenings, with live singers/bands. I've been twice and I really enjoyed it.
A beautiful bar with a great atmosphere.
Spacious and well-maintained. A great pub for lunch or dinner, with excellent food and generous portions. The atmosphere is the main reason to visit this place.

My wife’s Irish stew was very good, and so was my fish and chips—the 2nd best I had (out of 5) in Ireland, and my wife. Both cost 20 euros. The ambience is nice. We arrived around 2 PM and were seated promptly, but the service was slow. When our server didn’t return with milk for my wife’s tea, I had to go over to the bar to get it. I noticed other patrons had to go to the bar to get drinks and food after waiting a long time for service.
Food was good, nothing to complain about. The entertainment was fantastic!! The band is so entertaining and talented and the dancers were awesome! Highly recommend. Thanks to Mumina for excellent service! I booked in advance and we were given table right in front of the band. Excellent!
O’Connell street mainstay. Very good fish and chips and beef and Guinness stew. My wife loved the hearty stew and my cod fish and chips were crispy white and delicious. Beware. If you like ketchup very few restaurants have bottles. Most only have packets which is very frustrating. Live music and huge back room bar. Very cozy in front part. Highly recommend.
I had a great visit last Tuesday evening, I had the Irish Stew with the best soda bread I've tasted, it made up for my visit in July when they ran out and I was given normal bread and not told. Anyway, the service was spot on, Una paid absolutely 100% attention to detail and spoke about dietary requirements, (I'm not a fan of cheese or butter) and the selections of drinks and the evening entertainment., very informative. She was very quick at clearing, cleaning the table and others around which looks good with many other customers arriving for some evening drinks. I've been in many other restaurants and its a bugbear of mine where they leave it so good work there!! Oh and yes, those Guinness pints.... pulled to perfection, left to settle and brought over and drank too
This quickly became our go-to spot while in Dublin! From Friday morning when we arrived until Sunday afternoon watching the England match, we visited daily. The atmosphere is fantastic, the Guinness is excellent, and be sure to explore Thomas Clarke’s downstairs. The place has a charming, maze-like layout too.

Erster Stopp während unserer Reise nach Dublin, gerade am Flughafen angekommen, wollten wir sofort die berühmte Biere willkommen der irischen Leute schmecken. Wir waren nicht enttäuscht, in diesem Restaurant können Sie eine köstliche Guinness genießen, bevor ein gutes Mittagessen mit mehreren Wahlen für Vegetarier. Der Kundenservice ist tadellos und wir empfehlen Ihnen, die vegetarischen Burger zu probieren, die köstlich sind, Ihr Magen wird Ihnen danken.

Keine nos decepcionó, en este restaurante puedes disfrutar de una rica Guinness antes de un buen almuerzo con varias opciones para vegetarianos. El servicio de atención al cliente es impecable y te aconsejamos que pruebes las hamburguesas vegetarianas que están riquísimas, tu estómago te lo agradecerá.
Very good food, fantastic atmosphere with live music, small gaps in the staff department that should be trained more to deliver a correct order (Translated by Google) very good food, fantastic atmosphere with live music, small lagoons in the staff department that should be trained more to deliver a correct order
