It was late night so we arrived with drinks and snacks on our mind, but we got that and so much more. This is because the Barre keep was so attentive; he really took care of us and our order and anticipated needs or desires, and then quickly fulfilled them. The best way to describe the experience because of him is one of joy... One slightly unrelated concern I will share has to do with the plants that were there: see it is winter time and the person caring for the Barre or the plants or whatever doesn't is not aware that the tropical plants do not belong in the window because it is too cold for them and so they looked really sad and in need of care. I'm the kind of person that notices these things (in fact, plants actually speak to me and let me know their needs). But other than that, we had a great time so I highly recommend and would visit Murphy's on the Green again

My friends & I (6 of us total) dined at Murphy's on the Green for New Year's Eve. It was an unforgettable dining experience with its perfect blend of warm ambiance, exceptional service, and extraordinary cuisine. Every dish, was packed with flavor. The attentive staff made us feel truly special, and the tiramisu was the perfect ending to a flawless meal. Whether for a special occasion or a treat-yourself moment, this restaurant is a must-visit. Five stars!

Great food, great ambiance, nice big TVs for football. Polite server checked on us and frequently filled our waters. Brisket sandwich is so good and not disgustingly heavy. Sometimes you order one and think to yourself why did I order this? Not here. Just the right size. Good smoke ring. I had a chicken Cesar wrap which was nice and lightly dressed(just right) and not too huge where it's gross. Good portions. My son had a burger which he liked also. Better than anywhere else in the area for sure. Recommend.

Murphy's on the Green is such a fixture of downtown Hanover, it almost seems silly to post a review, but I am here for all the vegans and vegetarians who enjoy the dark and cozy atmosphere of a pub or who are tagging along with their omnivorous companions and can sometimes feel left out. This is a comfortable, casual venue serving up classic pub fare, sometimes with a surprising and delightful twist, that has something for everyone. Recommendations are always advisable unless you go at an off time (i.e. very early). We went for an early dinner on Easter Sunday because we don't care for the traditional foods of the holiday, although they did offer a ham dinner which one of our companions selected and said was great (the mashed potatoes were particularly noteworthy, and the roasted carrots were very fresh). We were greeted at the door by our friendly and super sweet server, who also did double duty at the bar and could speak intelligently about the offerings, which helped us make personalized choices. For dinner, I enjoyed the beet salad and their house-made chickpea burger smash style. The beet salad was satisfying and the chickpea burger was served on a soft brioche and held together well, which made savoring the subtle flavors much easier! Neither of my dishes was heavily salted, flavored or spiced; they were the way they would be if I took the care to make them at home. For travelers, this might come as a welcome relief! I chose their fries for my side, and they were delicious! My husband had their wings and the lobster risotto, the latter of which I was unable to snap a photo of because it disappeared rather quickly. Of course, it was the standard risotto serving size (big plate, tiny scoop). The cocktails were fresh and delightful. The desserts were a little split. I chose the brownie sundae and found the brownie itself kind of dry and flavorless, which sounds bad to say, but it's done by design as the dish is punched up with a not-too-large (appreciated) scoop of good vanilla ice cream and drizzled sauces on top. If you love a deep, dark, rich, chewy brownie, keep this in mind, because this was light and not the fudgy, total sugar bomb you might be expecting. They featured a Crème Brûlée-egg, which was a festive spin on crème brûlée designed to taste like the famed Cadbury Crème Egg, which both the people who had it said it in fact did, and one said it was the best crème brûlée he had ever tasted.

Grading solely on food, I'd say between a 3-4...but overall such good service that I am giving a 5. It strikes me as a typical college pub. Decent tap list with an assortment of local beers. Typical bar fare: burgers, fish&chips, etc. We got the calamari, Murphy's burger, chicken sandwich, as well as the mussels. While most of the food tasted like what you expect, the mussels were the surprise hit - they aren't cooked solely in your typical butter and wine, but actually cooked with chorizo, which gives it a wonderful flavor. Our waitress was a delight. She was affable with us, helpful in recommendations, and attentive in service. The owner was also so friendly - he stopped by multiple times to make sure everything was ok and to chit chat. It's been rare I've encountered such friendly service, and really gave our crew a great night out at the restaurant. Definitely plan on coming back for the good vibes!
