“This is one of my favorite spots! I absolutely love the vibe – perfect for watching sports, chatting and laughing with friends, and just having a great time.The beer perfectly Cold!

It truly feels like home. The bartender made us feel so welcome, like we were guests in his own living room. He was cooking and serving – what a pro!

The venue boasts a large bar, a pool table, and plenty of TVs. Plus, there's a liquor store inside with tables where you can eat and relax. Highly recommend!“

“Houlihan's is definitely one of my go to dinner or lunch places on a regular basis. I always ask for Colleen as her customer service skills are an A+++. She is pleasant, knowledgeable, and makes great recommendations. Besides the made to order food; the amazing french onion soup, yummy chicken wings, perfect salmon, prime rib sandwich, just like homemade pot roast, just to name a few good foods, Colleen is a main reason why I have been a regular for so many years. A shout out also to Al, one of the managers who is also a staple at the Holmdel Houlihan's. He is a true customer service person and he always greets you with a big smile. As a matter of fact I am going to Houlihan's tonight for dinner and have already requested my favorite waitress Colleen. Now what should I order tonight....mmmmm“

“On an ordinary day, we go here for beers and a burger with cottage fries and always have the best time. I have to mention this weekend specifically though because we had our wedding after party here. The owner, Kevin, is truly one of the nicest people and always provides service with a genuine smile. He is courteous and made all of our family and friends feel welcome and well taken care of throughout our evening. Even in the busiest moments, Kevin and staff managed to be accommodating and attentive. Cannot say enough enough about this place, the family and the staff. Wonderful!“

“Went because it is listed as being on Diners Drive-ins and Dives. Was greeted as soon as we entered by a friendly bartender. All servers and bartenders are fun and pleasant. The food was much better than I thought it was going to be. Two drinks, appetizers and entrees for 2 people and it was under $100!!! Will go again.“

“Great food, service and atmosphere! Cynthia was a friendly and caring waitress. We really enjoyed her service. She added a lot to our experience.“

“My husband recently hosted a bunch of old college buddies and their wives for our wedding! Since about 25 of them were visiting the Shore area for the first time, he wanted to make sure they experienced all the sights and sounds Monmouth County has to offer. Normally, finding something fun (and legal) for a large group of out-of-towners to do after midnight is a challenge—but not in Rumson! He took the whole crew to Murphy’s Tavern with the promise that they’d get a taste of a local legend: a good old-fashioned speakeasy tucked away in the basement of a house, right in the heart of a residential neighborhood. Needless to say, they had a blast! Whether you’re kicking off a weekend wedding celebration or just grabbing a late-night drink, we highly recommend popping into Murphy’s Tavern.“

“Manager is amazing!!!!!!!!“

“It's a small place but the food was amazing! I had the Caliente Cali burger. It was delicious! The chipotle Mayo was really good and their frys are amazing! Definitely will stop by again if I get the chance.
