This was a great relaxing pub atmosphere with an affordable menu. They are opened later than most of the restaurants for those looking for a later night of fun.

We had an excellent lunch from a very good menu. Very good selection of beers & wines. Service was excellent and the place was very clean. Only problem was that there was only one restroom which had to be shared which really did not please my wife or daughter in law.

This is a little place off the beaten track of Carmel. Very clean, fun place to kick back...Have some drinks, meet friends and watch sports. The bloody mary's are the very best...and have bacon in it. Was very nice to Erin...She rocks!

Brophy's is a very cool sports bar with good grog and nice food. Although we enjoyed our evening there, we sensed a real attitude of the staff to non-locals. The service seemed dismissive and arrogant, preferring to only engage when ordering and even then pretty careless about any follow up service. This was one place where the old American custom...

I felt as if this was the type of place where if you didn't know someone, you didn't belong. They didn't make you feel welcome at all. Will never come back.

We ate at the bar because the place was packed on a week night. The Reuben Sandwiches were so good that they could have come from New York. We topped that of with an ale on tap that was a perfect fit. Large portions, fair pricing and excellent service.

It was late when we rolled into town, the streets were dark and most places were closed. Brophy's happened to be walking distance from our hotel. The place was lively, friendly, and quite a few patrons were sitting / eating / drinking. The food was good (a piece of advice; if you don't like spicy, make sure you tell them... More
