    An excellent night, great food, wonderful musicians and good dancers. One of, if not the best Irish nights we have experienced. Would definitely recommend.

    Food is excellent, best burger I’ve ever had! Place is very interesting especially the ceiling. Don’t skimp on the dessert. The toffee pecan roulade was out of this world.

    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.
