I have never experienced such rudeness! The rude person happens to be the owner. If you hate your job and want to loose your customers, you need to keep your unhappy rude ass at home. The food is good but not worth feeling unvalued as a person, let alone a customer. So who do complain to when the rude rude ,rude ,unprofessional, RUDE PERSON is the OWNER. I live in the neighborhood 30 years, and I cannot frequent this establishment without wanting to slap the crap out of her.. If you want abuse with your meal, go to Matt Murphy’s in Brookline, Ma.
HORRIBLE place!!!!!!!! My husband and I lived in Brookline village 15 years ago and frequented Murphy’s. We moved out of state and returned with our kids this summer and decided to have a lunch there. What an AWFUL experience….the HORRENDOUSLY RUDE woman at the bar wouldn’t even let us in the door because we had a stroller….. which was a folded up umbrella stroller! When we asked her if we could just place it outside the front doors she still refused! RUDE!RUDE! RUDE! We would understand if the place was packed but only one couple was inside! The best part was finding the WONDERFUL Italian place in Washington Square…..I hope your days are numbered Murphy’s Pub!
Service was great….. Food even better and I have to say it has been my best meal in Boston so far. Looking forward to returning!
Best irish coffee. Nice clean place with an interesting liquor selection. had a good wheat beer from nantucket, grey lady & a terrific irish coffee. bartender was nice. looking forward to returning to explore their menu.
Rude management with no consideration for business clients.. While Murphy’s has a nice draft selection and cocktail menu, the food is pedestrian and poorly seasoned. Tonight was my third visit and each dish was underwhelming. This I could forgive as I knowingly prefer complex, layered flavors that stand up and provide a nice punch. The owner’s behavior is what I cannot forgive and what will keep me from ever coming back.The owner is rude and confident that she – and only she – knows how to run a restaurant. I and another patron were seated at the bar. Both of us were on laptops working (hello – welcome to the world of consulting – we don’t get to take a dinner break). Both of us were seated at the bar, not at tables. The owner came over to us and INFORMED us that she was moving us to a less visible location because she is not running an internet cafe. She did not ask in any polite way – just told us that she was moving us in a VERY rude manner. If I am in a pub sitting at a bar, I expect to be able to receive good service, have a few drinks, and get some work done in a location other than the third hotel room I’ve been in that week. This is NOT a business friendly location.Instead of complying with her demand, I put my laptop away, but informed her that I would not be back. At that point she offered that I could leave then and possibly find a Starbucks where I could eat and work. Let me be frank – how dare you be so rude to your paying customers! I worked in the restaurant industry for 9 years managing everything from a corporate chain to a private brew pub. I would never have considered treating a guest in such a rude manner.The owner needs to realize she is in a combined business and residential neighborhood and needs to cater to both sets of customers. I can understand not wanting laptops open at tables – but not at the bar which is by definition more casual and supportive of single patrons – often those traveling on business.Drop the attitude and don’t put your staff in a position where they have to apologize for your behavior in the hopes of not losing their tips. (I still tipped over 20%, BTW)Oh, and while I am at it, it’s 2011. Accepting credit cards is a cost of doing business. Load the cost into your menu prices and stop being ridiculous about taking only cash. Many of us simply don’t carry cash. This screams to the IRS that you are cheating on your books and you will be audited.
Great place. Do yourself a favor and wait for a table if you have to. It’s a small pub in Brookline Village serving very creative dishes–it’s not your typical pub food, it’s fabulous.
