To round of a night out, we stopped in at Irish Murphy's so my husband could grab a Guinness.

Maybe the establishment should take more care in the sterilisation of the pipes? Especially as... More

How often does one get a calamari salad in an Irish Pub? It was yummy. The menu is very random, but the service was warm; and the prices are good for Tasmania. More

Always a good place to start off a friday/saturday night! The music is always good, it can get a little crowded at times but theres also an outside area and plenty of toilets. And i never seem to have to wait very long to get served for a drink here! More

We went to Irish Murphy's a couple of times during our (too) short stay in Launceston, had a couple of dinners and we were both happy with the food and the service. The staff very professional and accommodating to my wife's gluten-free requirement. We went back to the pub later to listen to some music and it was a good... More

Took my wife there late on a Sunday night, and the kitchen was still open. Had a lovely steak, cooked exactly as I asked...which is not always the way, but it was here...so well done. Good value and tasty food. Could do with a few more options of Irish Beer though! :) More
