Customer Review

Great spot, was a bit hungry and wandered in for a bite to eat. Friendly and a great atmosphere. Lots of decor to view on the walls and some interesting characters that frequent. Had a steak and the Guiness pie. Both were great and around $25 each. Check it out it's a good spot.

I've been to Irish Murphy's a few times and it's a really great pub style restaurant.
On my most recent visit, I ordered the loaded wedges, which were super tasty and generous in size. Loaded with slow cooked beef, jalapenos, sauce and cheese. Very very tasty and only $22.
They also have a large selection of drinks and often have live music, which is awesome.
Highly recommend if you're after a decent pub located in the city.

Dropped in for a drink and dinner.
Good service, good drinks.
When we found an empty table we settled in thinking the table would be cleared of he many glasses. It was eventually but was not cleaned or wiped down. Put us off staying from dinner, so we left.
Hey look, its a good pub, I just like a bit better table hygiene is all.

Decent atmosphere, nice music and service was good but disappointed with basic food. I've been here many times and I often ordered fries, fries never crispy, always soft and taste bad even I mentioned with the staff, still soft. never get better.

Food was great, Decent atmosphere. Service was average. However the pint of Guinness we had(we had a few over the last two days) was terrible. Probably the worst I've had in Australia to date. Staff need to learn how to pour it to start a quick tutorial on YouTube would help here. There's no need to swirl the glass or tap it on the counter before topping it. That kills the pint and flattens the head. 5 Stars given for the food, 2 for the pint, 3 stars for everything else.

Great place to stop, watch some sports and have a feed. We came here as part of our Christmas Party and ended up playing some beer pong out the back! The staff were accommodating, welcoming and enjoyed our company. It was a good way to spend the day and we thank Irish Murphy's for allowing us to have a good time! Cheers!

Nice place but just an average bar overall (which is not necessarily a bad thing since Aussie bars are generally good). Disappointed they don't have any red or amber ales, so if you drink Fat Tire or Bell's back in the States then good luck finding a similar beer. Bangers and Mash had good quality sausages and gravy, but the mashed part wasn't the best. Wanted to order a Shepard's Pie but they dont offer a minced beef version. Again, not a bad place, they just don't offer the items I like.

Great vegan parmy. Wish the bar staff knew which beers on tap were mid-strength the night we were in. Also pretty loud in there which can make conversation a bit hard.

The battle of lunch steak special in Brisbane CBD.

The sixth venue of 10 places.

Available on Friday.

$19 for a steak and $2 for the sauce, which they don't tell you.

200g rump.

Fantastic choices for the condiments.

The steak came in 15min.

A great presentation.

A fantastic amount of food for the price.

Ordered medium, came perfect M.

It was a chewy and sinewy steak.

Chips were slightly under done.

Salty mushroom sauce.

The salad was ordinary but loved the dressing.

A good Irish atmosphere but lots of construction workers who were having a liquid lunch.

36 points out of 55.

Preeeeeetty lame. Ran into a bunch of issues in my short drop-in for a pint.
No coasters in venue. Asked for a beer price and was given $13.50 - i got one - very thirsty. I was charged $14. I didn't bring it up but got to my table which i promptly spilt the beer off. Went back to the bar for a refill and was charged $15 for the beer. I was confused about the price point changing repeatedly and enquired about the price again. It was $14.80 this time. A price that would have given me leave to turn around and walk out when i first asked the poor lass behind bar. Reckon she wasn't left enough coins in the tills.

The place was alright, beer was good, but man, the food was a letdown. I'm always traveling for work and usually hit up pubs for meals. My go-to is always a steak. Honestly, if the steak had been just bad, I wouldn't even bother writing this review. But it was beyond bad, super salty and tough! Everything tasted like salt! Worst pub food I've had in ages. If you happen to be around, I'd say stick to their schnitzels, they might be better or simply go else where.

If you're looking for the quintessential Irish pub experience in Brisbane, then look no further. Irish Murphy's has live music every night, awesome food every day (and night), and all your favorite beers on tap.

If you told me I couldn't go to any other Irish pub in Queensland I wouldn't even mind. Irish Murphy's is all I'd need and it's all you need, too.

Live music every night is great! Good priced drinks. Male bartender needs an attitude check as he was very rude and sassy. Young female bartender in training was very good!! Will come here again as it has a great atmosphere.

Oh dear - great live music but please "Lizzy" behind the bar ... surely she can find a job more in keeping with her personality .. if that's what you can call it. Not a good vibe and no we won't be back 🙄??"? Best you find another paying customer to call 'Karen' Lovely 🤮 🫰🏾

Haven't tried food recently but the quality always was great, I finished the stainless kitchen and bar with my old boss and I have to say it was a pleasant and calming place to work considering it was an hour away from home. Design and whole feel of the place is just amazing you wouldn't think you're in Brisbane! Better! Pokies always have a good selection too ;)

Noisy pub but the live music makes the crowd noise bearable. Good live music too. Friendly staff, decent food and drinks.

Best Damn Night of my life
Was there on Saturday night with my sister and loved the live music, i think they were called 'Tales for Strangers' or something. They were great.

A wonderful place for music and dance with family and friend.
Until you get a racist little security guard in a light blue uniform. Who accused an innocent customer.
Don't go on a Sunday night!!!

Only popped in for a couple of drinks. Was catching up with an old friend so we wanted to chat. The band started and it became impossible to have a conversation so we went elsewhere. The bartender was friendly and helpful. Nice enough pub.

Very handy pub right next door to the hotel I was staying at. Had live music every day, so it's not your "sir down for a chat" kind of place. Decent range of beers on tap, with friendly staff. Had the Aussie Parvy for dinner one night, was excellent (a big portion too!).

Love the live music every night. Elevated pub fare for a great price, Guinness on tap and tasty cider. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the great entertainment.

It really is a good little boozer. Staff are nice and the regulars are friendly and seem to be mature in nature. It's surprising for a well established pub to be friendly. The only little issue was the bouncer at the door was a bit of grump, but that's neither here or there, like the job would be frustrating sometimes. Good drink selection, the bar staff are a good laugh and clearly enjoyed working there. I can see myself back there. Was a really fun atmosphere.

I was here tonight for St Patrick's celebrations and as always the pub puts on the best St. Pats traditions here in Brisbane... I want to give a shout out to Aiden (the bar tender) who is Awesome! It really nice when you get good hospitality from staff members and I give Aiden 5stars Plus!

Typical, but excellent pub meals. Try the ribs and wings Friday special, yum. Best pub chips I've tasted. Good choice of tap beers available. Will go again

Bar staff good, value good. Unfortunately last couple of visits have been marred by drunks and folk begging. Not a widespread issue and probably I've just been unlucky, but worth pointing out.

I love the place but: Sort out your aircon! Might as well be sitting with penguins in the artic.
Every time I've been here it's been fluctuating temperatures. Tonight it was freezing at the back and fine near the stage and firstly staff said "ye sure" but later basically said "tough shit". Sort out or get your zoned thermostats it's 2021!

Always a good time in this place. Good setting, with upstairs and downstairs areas. Drinks are affordable and they have Irish staff on. Live band is engaging and adds vibe to the place. Good location as well, great access to the river if you want to take a walkabout in between or after.

A lot of reviews here are saying that this is the best Irish pub in Brisbane.
It's actually THE best pub in Brisbane - Irish or otherwise.
Fantastic live music every night - all the artists are talented and entertaining.
Professional, friendly and welcoming bar staff and management.
Security staff are professional and helpful.
Food great. Good selection of beers.
Great decor and atmosphere.
Also to be noted are the regular customers - very lively and friendly.
This is our go-to venue, any time we are in the city.

Great staff, super friendly, but the bout of food poisoning I'm still recovering from wasn't exactly how I like spending my evenings. My friend also had food poisoning. Might want to clean your kitchen and review the hygiene practices. It was disappointing because the food looked great! Hope it was just an isolated incident.
