Murphy's Pub & Ale House

We had such a great time here! The next time you visit Geneva-on-the-Lake be sure to stop in here for food or drinks. The menu is full of Irish traditional specialties (shepherd's pie, Irish stew, Guiness, Harp) as well as typical bar food. Some of the items might not be available, but that is clearly stated on the menu. When we asked for Irish stew, they were out of it. To be fair, this is kind of common these days. Murphy's Pub is up there with other Cleveland area Irish restaurants like the Harp or PJ McIntyre's and is worth the drive out to GotL!Our server was excellent, our food was also excellent. The music and ambiance definitely have an Irish vibe. It has outdoor seating as well as indoor. Family friendly. Easy walk for anyone on the main strip in GotL.I have to give a special recommendation for the pork wings, which are a unique appetizer. The "Murphy Sauce" is a unique secret which you have to taste to believe.

Very good food with very very nice employees, nice Irish atmosphere, we ate there 2 nights and ate Rueben fries appetizer, and pork wings yes pork , very interesting very good but a bit pricey, and also a Rueben sandwich was good

Dark and loud. Patty melt was ok, Rueben was good. Macaroni was not good, very overcooked. Mules were very good! Not very busy during dinner time when we stopped in.

Great pub atmosphere. Friendly relatively prompt service. I've been there probably a dozen times over the past few years and found the food to be quite tasty. Shepherd's pie and Irish stew are both excellent...

Black apocalypse for GOTL St Patrick's day bar crawl! Great authentic Irish pub with great authentic Irish music!

Covid-19 Review:Luckily, we read great reviews on Yelp about this place so we decided to stop in while driving through Geneva, OH. There is another similar restaurant nearby, but just based on driving by I would recommend Murphy's 10/10 compared to the other option. First, the restaurant is super cool. As soon as you walk in, the design is pretty cool. I really felt like I was in an Irish Pub. Secondly, signage is everywhere reminding patrons to wear masks and wash their hands often. The waitstaff were extremely welcoming and friendly from the second that we stepped through the door. I would also like to mention that they all properly had their masks on, which made us feel very comfortable!They have indoor, and outdoor seating available. It was a beautiful day, so of course we opted for outside! The tables were nicely spread apart, and it was a really nice area to sit and have a few cocktails.Their menu selection wasn't huge, but we were just stopping in for drinks and appetizers so it really hit the spot! We had a little variety of drinks ranging from Christmas Mules, to Apple Bourbon Cider, and my favorite, the Dublin Mule which was made with Jameson rather than vodka (my new favorite drink)!!!Our appetizer, Irish Nachos, were not nachos at all - but rather thick, freshly cut potatoes, with a "Rueben-like" topping. Needless to say, I wish we would have ordered 3 of them instead of one, because they were delicious! Our server, Sierra, was super nice - and told us about a Halloween Crawl that happens there in the next few weeks, seems like an awesome time if you are in the neighborhood! Would recommend! Can't wait to stop back.

Great food and even better atmosphere. Authentic Irish charm. Hidden gem right on the strip.

Surprisingly great Bourbon selection. The Rubens were good. The service was good as well. Fun and lively Irish music was playing over the speakers. The menu includes a few traditional Irish dishes that I would try in the future.

Fun time. Owner was a treat to talk to. The chef allowed us to order food as he kept the kitchen open a bit later. Really nice people. Food was also good

Great atmosphere! Great service! Food is excellent!Our waiter was charming and personable! Highly recommend!
