Murdoch's

The drinks at Murdoch's are great and it gives the state street market a classy vibe. I ordered an Old Fashioned to drink alongside my other food orders. I enjoyed it (even though I don't normally go for an Old Fashioned). Next time I come to State Street, I'll have to try another drink.

Beautiful bar in the State Street market. The martini had just the right amount of flavor, ice chips, and was very drinkable. We came in during Kevin Lu's fall event. The service is friendly and the drinks were made quite well. It was very enjoyable.

The los altos lemonade and pomegranate fizz were semisweet and delicious drinks, my fave being the former, but they were both good. Got to sip on these lovely cocktails and enjoy some good company while listening to live music as part of Los Altos First Friday. Service at the bar was standard and sufficient, and the atmosphere was noisy but full of energy inside the State Street Market food hall this past weekend, with bar seating not too difficult to find around 7pm.

Such a beautiful area. The bar is located next to several spots to eat. There was live music. All the bartenders were very friendly.

Glad to have a bar in this food court area. The Los Altos lemonade is very good. One of their signature drinks. Nice staff and lots of selections available.

Went there for a few drinks after dinner. The staff were friendly and were fast with the drinks. They have a decent selection of cocktails. When we were there there was live music which was nice way to relax.

Came here for my friend's birthday. Service was great. Parviz made our drinks quickly and was very friendly. He gave us great recommendations for drinks as well. The other staff were great too! Definitely recommend coming here with friends/family. Located in Los Altos street market so there's food to eat with your drinks!

Total absolute ripoff when this establishment charges 4 times the retail amount for a bottle of red wine with basic service at best.
