My husband and his friend rode down on the Harley's today and met me here for lunch. Â None of us had ever been here but I have passed by since my office is a block away and I am pretty happy we did. Â We walked in and I was really impressed with the cleanliness and look of the place. Â Brick walls, a nice long bar, a small stage, a pool table and a few tables. Â They have 11 beers on tap and daily lunch specials. Â Today's special were chicken enchiladads...odd to have at an Irish pub but whatever. Â I had the Assiago Tri Tip sandwich that came with a sauteed cabbage with bacon. Â Both items were wonderful. Â My husband had the Irish Nachos which were criss cut fries loaded with wonderfulness on top. Â My friend had a burger and he loved it. Â The bread was great, the lettuce and tomato were fresh as well. Â The bartender was nice and always asked if we needed anything else. Â All in all a good experiance, I would definitely go here again!
Review Source:I came here late one night. We ordered a few drinks (I drank Coca-Cola) and hung out at the bar. I never felt comfortable here. It was probably all of the Oakland Raiders jerseys being worn by other patrons. That never feels comfortable for me as a Niners fan. Oh, that and it was late June, early July and there was no NFL football at that time! Anyway, I won't be back any time soon.
Review Source:A beautifully little Irish bar with red brick walls and a kitchen in the back.
I stopped in for lunch this week and ordered the Thanksgiving Sandwich $10 and opted to swap the salad that came with it for sweet potato fries for an additional $3.
The food was very good, made with quality ingredients and a skillful hand. It's clear they have a talented cook and that food was not an after thought for this bar.
Sandwich, fries, and a coke came to $16.09.
Unfortunately for me, this is a bit much for a lunch time sandwich.
Although, If you were out drinking and were hungry (who cares about money at this point), this would be a nice place to end up.
Odd location, it's kind of under an overpass, but not quite. The place has been around for ages and the everything is pretty consistent. Good selection of beers on tap and apparently great food (I have yet to try). This place is insanely crowded on St. Patrick's Day (as most Irish pubs are), but try them out any other night. I know I'll be back for their food!
Review Source:Let me say that I was very impressed with McMurphys. I drive by all the time but can't stop for a bite to eat since I'm always with the kiddos!. Today I got my chance!!! The menu had a bunch of game time foods since Sunday football is on with the exception of the McMurphys burger. It was a fresh hand made angus burger with lettuce, tomato, carmelized nions, bacon, and a jalepeno guacamole on a ciabatta type bun. I'm not sure if there was cheese but the thing was very juicy and didn't need the extra ooomph that cheese gives a burger. The burger was cooked well and I am pleased I took the bartenders recommendation. Â I also had a side of sweet potato fries which were the best I have ever had. They had what looked like parsley and lime seasoning which made them very good. Cooked crispy just the way I like them. I finished the meal off with a cold glass of beer which went well with the burger and fries.
The service was good. The bartender didn't let me run dry and the other staff was very friendly. I would really call this pub food since it's mile beyond that. Anyone who likes burger should definitely give McMurphys a try. I will be back soon to review more of the menu!!!!
Well I've been coming here for lunches for the last couple of months, and the quality and cosistancy of the food has been getting better and better. Â They run a daily special, and the quality of the fresh products the chef uses shows up on the plate and on the palate. Â It is refreshing to find a chef excited about his food in Bakersfield, and I would highly recommend discovering this place for yourself before the downtown lunch crowd overwhelms this place.
Review Source:The second I walked into the bar I was in awe. It immediately looked like what I always picture a bar to look like.
Currently for lunch they offer food by Culinary Creations. I had the Hamburger and Sweet Potato fries. I usually don't eat hamburgers unless they're home made on a grill. I'm in LOVE with the hamburger. It was amazing. I can't wait til I go back again, I would really love to try something new on the menu but I don't know if I can NOT get the hamburger it was too good!
The staff there is super friendly and very helpful. Its a great place to stop in for lunch and a drink!
