About Murphy's Townhouse Cafe

Murphy's Townhouse Cafe is a beloved institution in Stamford, known for its exceptional wings, Guinness, and warm, old-school vibes. The staff are praised for their friendliness, making it a go-to weekend hangout for families. There is a separate area away from the main bar where kids can play, along with games like darts and table games to keep everyone entertained. The food is generally considered ridiculously good, with favorites like wings, burgers, and the Reuben, which one customer describes as basically a soulmate. Meals are served on paper plates, emphasizing that the focus is on the delicious food rather than fine dining.

The menu offers a variety of options, including a satisfying Caesar salad, miso-marinated cod, and orecchiette with short rib ragu. While the lunch menu may not differ significantly from dinner, the overall atmosphere and hospitality make Murphy's a great place for a relaxing family meal or a lively night out. Although the burger patties could use some seasoning, the service is friendly and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant experience. With TVs for sports and music at a perfect volume, Murphy's is a fantastic spot for food, drinks, and fun.

Celebrated our move to Stamford. Good food and drinks. John and Vince were very welcoming.

WARNING - THIS BAR IS NOT SAFE FOR WOMEN!

My partner and I were repeatedly harassed here tonight by an extremely drunk man at the bar, who had clearly been over-served and could barely string a sentence together. At first we just tried to ignore this person, but we finally asked the owner for some help. Instead of removing this person or doing anything, the owner Dan refused to help us and went so far as to call us "emotional" and gaslight us about the situation. He told...read full review
