I was a bigger fan of Murphy's before they upscaled. They are no longer a local pub but a bit of a higher-end restaurant. The food is pretty good, but I feel its now over-priced.

Nigel the owner was kind and helpful in food recommendations. Eric my server was efficient and also very friendly. It is a very warm and friendly establishment. As for the food, It was very flavorful with very fresh ingredients. I would definitely return when in the area again. I had the scallops with amazing bacon on pineapple skewers, the ginger carrot soup and the carrot cake all prepared well.

I have been in town for a few years and am astounded how far Murphy's has come. It used to be just a place for wings and beers, which was great but, my wife and I found ourselves going elsewhere for dinner. THINGS HAVE CHANGED! At first I was thrown off by the semi upscale look but after talking to the staff and seeing the wide range of customers it still feels like Murphy's! The new chef is amazing and creates things that no one else in the valley does while keeping the prices reasonable. We come here every month or so and absolutely love it! I highly recommend Murphy's. I love the Laphroaig 18 Tom!!

Great entree salads, love the diverse menu and always look forward to hearing the day's specials. It gets very loud so be forewarned. I would choose Murphy's over Molly's any day of the week.

Great atmosphere! Great accommodations for groups! Tasty appetizers!

Murph’s is a very social restaurant. Nigel the owner and Liam the bartender add character and style to the place. It's worth having a beer at the bar before dinner to get to know the guys. The food is good. You can either stick with bar-style, comfort food or try something culinary. Be advised, it's a popular place and can get loud so bring grandma in early.

the murph burger?why on earth promote a burger,i dont get it.

New look and new chef. Not just for the burger/ taco minded set . Nice new look Nig!!

Murphy’s is a pretty solid choice for Hanover dining and is pretty much your direct alternative to eating at Mollys. They both offer American style cuisine (with other influences of course ) at reasonable prices with good beer selections. It has your standard mix of local brews like Harpoon, Longtrail, Magic Hat, and Switchback. It has a prime mainstreet location right next to Left Bank books and is hard to miss.

My favorite items at Murphy’s are their Nachos, which in my opinion are the best available in the UV. Forget the “Mexican” places Gusanoz or Margaritas and their sad attempts at nachos. Leave it up to the Irish/American place to have the best nachos around with a nice layer of bean dip being built upon by a perfectly crisp chips and a nice blend of cheeses + jalapeños + tomatoes on top.

Other things I can attest to being great at Murphy’s are their buffalo burgers which I like Smoke House style which comes with BBQ sauce, bacon and caramelized onions. They have excellent options for fries, original or sweet potato. Both are delicious.

Their fish tacos are an OK NE rendition of this California dish, and the fish and chips are better than Molly’s based on better fries along with a larger portion of haddock/cod.

For vegetarians their falafel wrap is marginally better than the already good one at Lous and is a great choice. The nacho’s I raved about are also vegetarian if you just opt out of the additional chili topping they will offer you. They also have several other veggie entrée options if you don’t just want a wrap such as Gnocchi, veggie mac+cheese, and an eggplant layered vegetable napoleon.

Other interesting tidbits are Murphy’s are the brass plates people can purchase and have hung on the wall to remember their favorite seating location, along with a kids menu that comes out on a soccer ball with the menu items written out on the panels. Not sure how hygienic that is, but it is cute!

I inevitably find myself coming back to Murphy’s, and enjoy it as being a safe local standby.
