Murphy's Law

Decent set of taps and good bartenders. Their burger is decent but i'd avoid the other foods.

The quesadillas are delicious!! Beers on tap are cold :)

The only reason to come here is if you work at the hospital and want to grab a quick drink with the coworkers (I am a resident). I.e. the location.

Service: the waitresses never know what beers they have on tap. They are a little impatient ("You want to pull the table together? can't you guys just sit at two separate tables?" -- for a party of 14).

Menu... everything is blah. Chicken wings they probably get from Food Emporium across the street. The burgers you can only get well-done. Not good.

And finally, prices. Look, if at least it was cheap, I'd give it 4 stars. But they price the crappy service and food at the same level as any decent restaurant in the neighbourhood (which, despite the obsolete reputation of being "food desert", the UES now has plenty of.

Don't come here. Unless you work at the hosp and the location is convenient. By the way, if you hear about 10% discount for hospital employees, this is for food only... not drinks. And only on Fridays between 5 and 7PM.

3.5 Stars.

Murphy's is great for after-work happy hours, and the management is incredibly hospitable with planning for larger parties. The beer menu has a variety of Irish offerings (and served by legitimate Irish staff). The food is typical pub-fare if you need a snack to go along with your drinks -- typically, the appetizer combo platter is the way to go for a party of 3-4 people. Would be a great place to watch a soccer game or golf...other sports, not as much. Due to its prime location next to the hospital, Murphy's offers a 10% discount for NYP employees, which is always enticing.

I had such a terrible experience at this restaurant. The hostess took my take out order and I specified my food allergies, however, she brought me an entirely pork dish, the food I'm allergic to. So clearly never checked the order and just handed the food to me. Upon arriving at work, I opened the box and was totally astonished to see the wrong order. This wasted my time and I had to walk back to the restaurant. I went back and asked her about it and she was very rude and started yelling "I don't know, this is chef's mistake and not my mistake." She kept yelling so I asked her if I could speak to the manager. He was a very reasonable and nice guy. My only request to him is to look into his employees, especially the hostess who actually should be the nicest and most polite person rather than rude, ignorant, immature, and stubborn.
