    My boyfriend and I had a great experience at his birthday dinner. The food was amazing, and you guys have the best pesto sauce in town. The only odd thing we noticed was that there was no one available at the second bar near our table to take drink orders while we were waiting for our table, but it turned out fine in the end. Overall, we had a wonderful night with fantastic food and a lovely first experience. We highly recommend this place to all our friends.

    We had the most amazing evening, would recommend booking a table as we couldn’t get a table the first time we tried. The food was delicious, the waitress service was great and the entertainment was fantastic! Superb musicians, real Irish vibes, you can’t help but tap your hands and feet. The Irish dancers were a real treat to watch too. Such a happy friendly atmosphere. Thank you Murray’s we had the best evening of our holiday with you and we will be recommending Murray’s to anyone who is visiting Dublin.
