Booked a table as a friend of mine was playing music there that night, booking easy to do and I was seated within a couple of minutes of arriving, food excellent and even able to have drinks brought to my table, handy as I was on my own, the staff were all very friendly. The actual pub and decor are amazing, especially all decorated for Christmas. To complete an already great night out we're the Murrey Bar Irish dancers, they took your breath away, totally 5+ stars for them. I'd definitely visit again.

Murray’s was a great experience. We arrived a little early for our reservation and they told us we could head over to the bar have some drinks and they’d come get us when they were ready. we ended up being able to sit 20 minutes early! The food was amazing, the fried brie is a must! The drinks were great and the band was fun to have at around 8. They were entertaining and fun to watch.

I really couldn’t be more satisfied with my experience here. Booking was easy. The food was really great. Hospitality and ambiance were incredible. The staff even encouraged us to move to a table closer to the musical performers once we had finished our meal. Weren’t hurried a long at all, but the staff was there for everything we needed. Such a perfect evening.

Lovely restaurant, food was tasty although seafood chowder was lukewarm. Service was rushed, not friendly. We were not offered 2nd drink or dessert. Clearly food is cooked in advance, rushed to table for fast turnover of tables. Very disappointed
