Went there for a few drinks after dinner. The staff were friendly and were fast with the drinks. They have a decent selection of cocktails. When we were there there was live music which was nice way to relax.

Total absolute ripoff when this establishment charges 4 times the retail amount for a bottle of red wine with basic service at best.

Came here for my friend's birthday. Service was great. Parviz made our drinks quickly and was very friendly. He gave us great recommendations for drinks as well. The other staff were great too! Definitely recommend coming here with friends/family. Located in Los Altos street market so there's food to eat with your drinks!

Glad to have a bar in this food court area. The Los Altos lemonade is very good. One of their signature drinks. Nice staff and lots of selections available.

It’s fine for a quick beer. Been there twice and tried to order Manhattans. The first time they brought us old fashioneds, the second time brought us old fashioneds made with scotch. So, I guess if you want an old fashioned, go here!

Sat afternoon ( no one there)my wife ordered a Bloody Mary. Theyhad a promotion card on bar. Bartender seemed annoyed we ordered that. Used Bloody Mary mix, limp celery , a slice of lime and lemon on a stick, cost $14.The picture had a carrot stick. He could have said we are not set up right now for bloody Mary’s. Just not very good

Nice staff but not very efficient. Common complain amongst friends is that it takes too long to get a drink.

Murdoch's Los Altos CA Fri 1/7/22 © Friday night seventh day into January of New Year 2022, meeting friends for a drink. Time to catch up! Inside recently opened State Street Market, a food court in my downtown Los Altos, there are multiple food counters, concepts of food if you will, one of which is Murdoch's. Some counters offer meats and flatbreads, others greens and grains, oysters & raw foods, Murdoch's features Drinks & Eats for All. Simple nibbles to accompany your drink, olives, nuts, chips, salads and sides. Cheese or meat boards charcuterie, veggie board, or combos. We ordered a drink each and Sweet Potato Fries. Fries come with ketchup and vegan green harissa dip, sprinkled with smoked sea salt. Served on a platter to share, great munching food, who doesn't like fries! I got Monte Carlo, a specialty cocktail, greatly enjoyed my delicious concoction, you know I'm impartial to Rye Whiskeys, it was great! Made with Benedictine & Orange bitters. My friends ordered Spanish Influence, each, a satisfiable drink. Mixed with Gin, Pomegranate Shrub, Lemon, Apricot Sour. They liked! Cocktails are $14 each. You place your order via QR codes or through a hostess, which is what we did. Murdoch's is named after Los Altan Steven Murdoch who was a local Prohibition-era bootlegger. The intention for Murdoch's is celebrating the casual atmosphere, encouraging an after work gathering, a night out with friends or family. To get an idea of offerings at Murdoch's, peruse the menu below. *If food is the body of good living, wine is its soul Review #677 posted with 5 pictures on January 7, 2022 SWEET POTATO FRIES ketchup, vegan green harissa dip, smoked sea salt $7@MURDOCH'S Los Altos CA Fri 1/7/22 State Street Market Specialty Cocktails SPANISH INFLUENCE Gin, Pomegranate Shrub, Lemon, Apricot Sour $14@MURDOCH'S Los Altos CA Fri 1/7/22 MONTE CARLO Rye Whiskey, Benedictine, Orange bitters $14@MURDOCH'S Los Altos CA Fri 1/7/22 Menu NIBBLES MARINATED OLIVES fennel seed, chile flake, lemon $5 TOASTED CORN NUTS barbeque spice $6 KETTLE CHIPS whipped onion dip $5 SIDES ROASTED WINTER VEGEABLES garam masala, mint, yogurt $9 CRISPY BRUSSELS SPROUTS chipotle, balsamic vinegar, lime, honey $10 CHARRED BROCCOLINI mediterranean olive tapenade, fried shallots $9 FRIES CRISP HERBED sea salt $6 SWEET POTATO smoked sea salt $7 SERVED WITH KETCHUP, VEGAN GREEN HARISSA DIP PETIT WEDGE star route farms little gem lettuce, smoked bacon, vine ripe tomato, point reyes blue cheese $14 CAESAR SALAD hearts of romaine, parmesan, herbed croutons, yogurt caesar dressing $12 MAC & THREE CHEESES hearth baked, sharp cheddar, white cheddar and parmesan cheese, herbed breadcrumbs $10 MURDOCH'S SNACK BOARDS GARDEN from our farm partners to your plate, vegetables raw, steamed, and pickled, served with green goddess dip $15 CHEESE cow's milk cheeses curated by cowgirl creamery, featuring mt. tam, red hawk, chimney rock, and wagon wheel. served with flatbread crackers and dried fruits $20 CHARCUTERIE artisan madesalumifrom sustainably raised meats, with grained mustard, spicy pickles, and flatbread crackers $20 MURDOCH'S MUNCHIES marinated olives, kettle chips with whipped onion dip, bbq corn nuts, pickled farm vegetables, toasted nuts $16
