Murphy’s Irish Pub in Berlin

We've been coming to Murphey for years when we're in Berlin. Last year we celebrated a birthday there where we left a lot of money, but the employees gave us a dustpan and a broom, which should have made us suspicious. From then on there were no more tips. This year we were there too and our jaws almost dropped! Beer in PLASTE CUP for almost €7 0.4 ml! 2cl shots that are declared as 4cl shots, which is fraud, are for 7€!!! The Irish flag didn't taste like whiskey, Bailys and Pfeffi, it tasted like nail polish remover and gave me heartburn! Service in Germany doesn't speak German and if you complain, they no longer understand English! In addition, the “singer” made it deafeningly loud, you couldn’t understand your own words and the toilets were at rest stop level! An absolute disgrace and a tourist rip-off!!! The bar used to be cool and worth a visit, but now it's run down, dirty and smelly. We won't be coming back. It's just shameful to serve beer in plastic cups in a bar and cheekily rip people off with it! Unfortunately you can also tell that the bar is drunk because of the clientele, it's a shame about the ambience!

Yes, you have to have deposit and like a lot of people. But live music is always great

I was there for the first time today, and it was very nice. The service was friendly and courteous. It's strange that you have to pay before you get your drink and food, but as the waitress told us, it's because the guests simply leave after they've finished their meal.

Typical Irish pub with daily live music.

Everything is great, the prices are very affordable (€5.50 for a Guiness), there is a friendly atmosphere and we really liked the menu and the prices of the food. For being in Germany, some dishes were €5-6! There is a Zoltar machine at the entrance that transported me to Big!

Very bland and watery iced coffee. Service was okay but had to be reminded of the orders. Nice outdoor seating.

Food wasn't pleasant and was not up to standards especially with the price you are paying. The table service is terrible, waiting way too long to get a drink. I got one drink, and tried to order another and waited a long time. They were trying to prolong, I went back up to ask about my drink and I got told they weren't bothered to make it and got refunded! One person behind the bar that can pull pints and make drinks, 4/5 girls running around doing nothing. Pulling faces at customers behind their backs. A worker loves to push people around as if she's all high and mighty. It's so disrespectful and horrible atmosphere to be in. Only good thing about this pub was the music. And the singer deserved the tip she got. Workers don't deserve a tip especially with atrocious service.

The staff is stressed, the music and all the guests are American and there is hardly any Guinness (€6.50!!) drunk. This is definitely not an Irish pub, more of a tourist trap

We just went for a drink. The restaurant was quite full and the empty seats were reserved, but the staff tried hard to organize a seat, which went smoothly. A huge compliment from this side to the staff.

Murphy's on the river expensive food

It is a Vary bad place for the people who likes a good beer. I think, they add water in it.

Live Music, ice cold Heineken and perfect Guinness

The direct comparison with the originals in Ireland is still fresh in my mind, so I apply a possibly strict standard here and find more of a "decal" of an Irish pub. Nevertheless, there is a bit of an Irish feeling. The seating situation alone is very cramped.

Monday was St. Patrick's Day, and for years I've wanted to spend this day in a proper pub. The ambience and mood in the restaurant was as expected. It was packed, but everyone was in a good mood; People sang along enthusiastically with the music; There were a few classics from the American pop and swing scene, as well as a few well-known Irish hits. There was no food that evening and there was no place to sit. But the memory card looks promising, I'll go there on a normal day and try the shepherd's pie. The ladies behind the counter didn't lose interest in all the hustle and bustle, and my beer was ready after a few minutes and it was cold, well tapped and refreshing. It was like an hour's vacation in Ireland and I will come back to Murphys...

Very nice St. Patrick's Day party, with live music and enough staff so you don't have to wait long for your drinks.

Two members of staff are extremely rude. One member of our party ordered a cocktail, waited for half an hour then got their money back because the person behind the bar didn't want to make it. Ordered an Irish shepherds pie, it was smothered in cheese. Shepherds pie does NOT contain cheese Irish or otherwise

Great pub, large selection of whiskeys and tasty beers and the food is also very tasty. The service is friendly and spoke politely.

If you get a chance and your in Berlin this is a must goto pub great staff nice night out with live music and great food I felt at home here ever night of my visit

On the evening before St. Patrick's Day, drinks are only served in plastic cups. Food was OK. edit: From 17 onwards there were no more cocktails. Orders had to be paid immediately. edit 2: the last beer was just soda. I don't come here anymore.

Impossible, drinks are served in plastic cups - never again

Racist bouncer - wouldn't let me in at St. Patrick's Day party because supposedly the pub was "too full" (people kept going home in between). I only got in after a lot of persuasion and because friends already had a place at the table... that's why there was no tip at the end - a shame, otherwise a very cozy and atmospheric pub with good drinks and live music. We actually like being there more often, but not anymore.

Guinness!!! The best beer in the world!!!

Great pub and was very full to the point they had to stop others coming in. The service was quick, with very friendly staff and the price of the beer was reasonable

Terrible pub. Very rude staff. Not helpful at all. Bier is overpriced and my glass was dirty.

Nice Irish pub with great food. Unfortunately it was pretty full on Saturday and after a day of walking through the city I couldn't get a seat. We went there again a little earlier two days later and were lucky this time. Seat right next to the small stage - and very close to it with live music from 8 p.m.! I was very pleased to find Shepherd's Pie on the menu here - one of my favorite Irish dishes since my visit to Dublin. The Murphy's beer isn't bad either and so the evening was very entertaining and very enjoyable! ;)

I'm not sure why, but irish pubs are a great place in most places. Was looking for live music after 2200, and this was the only one still playing. Great vide, great songs, and wonderful Guinness

Staff were rude and unhelpful, the layout was poor so tables were limited and all squashed in one area.

Very nice bar with outdoor seating by the water when the weather is nice.

Great pub, perfect Guinnes, good live music. Top

Amazing food, great drinks, and very rude woman at the cashier. Come on, you can’t be barking that much at people visiting the restaurant. Otherwise it’s a very nice pub which I visited twice already.

Music was okay for the first 20 minutes. When Schalke chants filled the room, everything was okay.... When we were banned from singing, we also knew that the pub was useless. Never again eder, NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!!

Extremely unfriendly service. The store doesn't even allow a second slice of lime in the drink upon request.

It was a very nice evening here again... With Guinness and steak 🥩... I'll still be here in 2025 🍺👍

Friendly staff. Reasonable prices

I felt very comfortable. The food is very simple.

Relaxed evening, good food. Great service. For the second time and I'll be back.

Cozy bar, good atmosphere, excellent choice of different beers. Also enjoyed nice music on Friday. Highly recommended for a drink! We did not eat here either time.

cant wait to come back tomorrow morning. cant complain

I was visiting various bars to write an article for my travel blog and youtube channel. I went to this establishment. I first ordered a Dunkle,it was a 0.5 liter served in a plastic pint pot. When I went back to order another pint of lager,they gave me a 0.3liter in a plastic pot,they charged me full price of €6.50. When I complained the bar maid was very rude to me,when I complained she poured a shot glass of lager and put it next it. So to prove I'm not lying I took a photo of what they served me at Murphys bar vs an actual 0.5 liter drink from a bar round the corner. There are much better places to drink,I was going to have some dinner there as well,but after being treated badly I went somewhere else.

Went to watch the rugby and then enjoyed some live music, food and service great fantastic atmosphere as an Irish person I’d be visiting here again!

I can't say anything about the food but the service was very quick, the pub was exactly like a pub should be and with nice live music. Totally worth visiting.

Nice pub, delicious beers, attentive service. The live act on Friday was more of a disappointment

Good beer, great atmosphere. Live music. Spent many fun evenings there.

Good pub to have a few beers. Live music and good atmosphere!

Great pub and good atmosphere - even got to see a lady’s bottom get 👆 yippee! Seriously good place fr and the staff are sound - particularly the aussie lad

Another glass in the pub and live music awaited us on a Monday evening. Great atmosphere, friendly service, good atmosphere!

Great pup. Reminds me of my last visit to Ireland. Very authentic.

Nice pub, beautiful decor, very good atmosphere, often concerts, Guinness at a good temperature and at a fair price, staff not unpleasant but on the other hand you have to be at a table to order a drink, first time I've seen that in a pub!..... The bar is nice and wasn't full...

Unfortunately not... We were turned away very rudely and unfriendly on a Saturday evening. One could certainly find nicer words, but the lady apparently wasn't in the mood to receive guests. Well then not! Other restaurants are also open. At least we are still in Berlin!!! Update to owner's response: They seem to be confusing us, we weren't a group and there was no queue in front of us, just an aggressive lady who more or less slammed the door in our faces without us even having the chance to say anything at all. A note would have been nice, but being yelled at at the door for no reason doesn't meet my expectations of service.

Kids unfriendly, not because of the place or people, but because of the unpolite manager.

A rude welcome at the door, never again... Unfortunately one star is only possible if it's really bad, they don't deserve one... Update, how can you lie so boldly. The lady at the door made such a fuss about us when we opened the door, even though it was our first time there, so this review was our only opportunity to express our displeasure... But okay, management apparently can't handle criticism either. Professionally is different. If the restaurant hadn't been so well located, people would certainly have reacted completely differently...

One star, but only because of the "friendly" welcome. Update on the owner's lie: Which group? Which queue? There was neither.

Always good here! Service quick and friendly. Toilets clean!!

Super bad service. The staff is impolite. The service is super slow.

Always a nice visit and great live music

Great pub with a great atmosphere in the evening!

Great Irish pub - had Murphy's stout and red on draft. We had the Irish breakfast was ok.

Cool pub in the middle of Berlin.

Sadly added a round we did not have be very carful

This place was a repeat visit from us........ Food was good and well priced but one of the main reasons for us enjoying our time here and returning was a young gent named Jessie! His manner and hospitality was second to none and you should be very proud to have him working with you guys!! Thanks again Jessie and all the staff at Murphys. Lee & Glynn

Yesterday I tried to get in the bar but this man standing at the bar was screaming people to wait in a really aggressive way, so we left…Weird situation, It kinda ruined the vibe of my vacations

I don’t normally bother with Irish bars abroad because they are usually full of stereotypes but this is just a fantastic bar, brilliant live music and great pints. Well done 👍

I went Saturday night with live music. Very talented guitarist. Very clean atmosphere and excellent service from the guys who serve. Very good disposition to our orders and always a smile.

Nice and cozy atmosphere. Good beer on tap.

I thought for a long time whether I should write something about it. But I would still like to do it as constructive criticism. We had dinner with you on Sunday evening. In itself it was a very nice evening. But there was something very annoying while eating. I had the Murphy sandwich with fries and cole slaw. But the portion of cole slaw was a joke. I can't say it any other way. The cole slaw came in a tiny waffle cup usually used for breakfast jams. In principle, the amount corresponds to one tablespoon, so to speak. I find that very cheeky. Do you have to be so extremely frugal? Which boss decides something like that? You should definitely change that very quickly or at least remove it from the map.

Nice pub. However, it was really unpleasantly cold that day. Otherwise, gladly again

Somewhat messed up service. Dogs were not allowed in the afternoon even though there were few people in the pub. I have a little quiet old dog and I had to drink my beer in the cold. Doesn't work at all

You're great! What else can you say? Very varied live music, the drinks come quickly, everyone is friendly and the atmosphere is simply exceptionally good. Great mood ♥️

Okay, to spend an evening with colleagues. Location directly on the Spree, parking spaces in the immediate vicinity.

I've spent 6 months in Ireland and to come here was like coming to a familiar place. Very nice atmosphere, I went only one time but the live music was amazing and the beer very good (as the name suggests, aside for Guinness they have Murphy's as well, which I personally prefer). Slightly more expensive than an average german's brewery, but to spend a nice evening is perfect and I consider it worthy.

Very nice live music. Delicious Guinness. Very crowded on Saturday evening. Fun crowd, nice service. Prices relatively high. Toilet clean.

slow service but it was very full so can't really blame the staff. The food was tasty and drinks very well poured

Relatively cheap, decent location. Service definitely could have been better, but a great place for a pit-stop drink just outside of Berlin center.

Once a great pub. But since there has been a new management, the quality, competence and service have declined significantly.

Not for me table service was poor pint of murphys

Nice classic beers 🍺 can't go wrong with Guinness Currywurst was nice too

Best service ever, our server Bianca was extremely welcoming and friendly. This might be the best Irish pub in Berlin.

Good pub with a great atmosphere, friendly waiters and a good selection of drinks.

Best toilet I've ever defecated in in my life. Great experience

Very bad experience at The Irish Pub because of one waitress: the tall brunette one. She was unbearable and horrible with us for no real apparent reason. We only gave 5% tips, maybe that wasn't enough, but that's absolutely not a reason to explain her behaviour: she insulted us, refused to serve us drinks again even though it was 9pm, and even ask the security to throw us out. It's the first time that's this happened for us in a bar. That's really a shame from this waitress, especially the 31st of December...

Very good whiskeys and delicious beer. Cool atmosphere.

We were there for New Year’s Eve. The place was crowded, and there was a nice atmosphere. We enjoyed the fireworks on the bridge in front of it.

We were just here to drink. Great ambience and very nice and attentive service.

Great place, always full of people

Really nice place great atmosphere and music. Not the cheapest but worth it for the atmosphere. If in Berlin again id definitely return

Very nice place in a good location. Variety of drinks and beers. We ordered nachos and they were very good. Very friendly workers. Recommended to spend some time and have a few beers.

Bad service. Beer is tapped worthlessly. And you can't say anything about that. Commercial tent with no attention to customers.

Charming place, very good beers and very cool atmosphere.

Probably the very best Cheese Fries in all of Berlin! Staff is friendly, but mostly only will act if you call them.

I like Irish/English pubs/ale/atmosphere/very nice staff

DONT GET THE IRISH STEW! I went here for traditional Irish stew after moving from Dublin. It was really bad and not traditional at all! All the ingredients were chopped super small and the beef was so dry. The bar itself is nice and a normal pub.

There are better pubs in Berlin where you get served faster.

Hay algunos excelentes pubs y bares irlandeses en Berlín y en Schiffbauerdamm yo y mi hermano gemelo fuimos a un brillante pub irlandés llamado Murphy's y lo que un pub magnífico para visitar. Este pub tiene un aspecto temático irlandés con muchos elementos interesantes y características relacionadas con la Isla Esmeralda. Es un pub enorme con excelentes opciones de asientos en todo su interior y cuando visitamos aquí en una fría noche de diciembre estaba muy ocupado. Cuando visitamos aquí tuvimos unas pintas de Guinness que estaban perfectamente servidos y para un pub irlandés a un precio razonable. Este es un magnífico pub irlandés en una zona magnífica y bien vale la pena visitar si estás por esta zona. (Esta es mi primera reseña de Murphy's Irish Pub). Horario de apertura. Lunes - Viernes - 12. 00 - 00 . 00 . Sábado - Domingo - 10. 00 - 00 . 00 . Las horas pueden diferir de arriba. Transporte público. Parada de autobús. S+U Friedrichnstraße Bus Stop - 147 - 245 - N 6 . Bahn Stop. Friedrichnstraße S - Bahn Stop - S 1 - S 2 - S 3 - S 5 - 7 - S 9 - S 25 - S 26 . Parada de tranvía. Parada de tranvía S+U Friedrichnstraße - 12 - M 1. U-Bahn Stop. Friedrichnstraße U - Bahn Stop - U 6 .

Nice pub with typical decor. However, I had to speak English to order something.

cool Irish pub with live music, pretty crowded

Super fun! Live show was fantastic too.

Always a great place to go for a nice beer or a whiskey from the large menu.

Gladly again and again. Delicious food, the right beer and super great service.

Great pub to grab a drink and watch live music. The staff were very nice and organized. There is a pub crawl that rolls through later in the evening and it really packed the bar to capacity leaving very little room to stand or order drinks.

I just paid €14 for two large beers, with a tip €15. Unfortunately I only noticed it afterwards. How does the price come about? Does not match the map.
