Irish Murphy's - Geelong West

Group of five adults for lunch, only one other table in restaurant occupied when we arrived. Given flyers for two specials, one Roast Pork with sweet potatoes or a Guinness Pie with potatoes, no communication from waiter re specials just handed flyers. When we went to order waiter said we only have two pies left. So one of the three of us that had gone to order pies said can i have the Roast Pork with normal potatoes instead of sweet potatoes, told no we don't have enough plain potatoes left. When food came it was Guinness pie small pie with a few potatoes and a few peas, nothing else plate looked very sparse. This was $29. Somebody else ordered Murphy burger which was a small burger in a plastic basket with a handful of chips. Food was placed on table for us to pass around for whose meal it was, waiter did not do this. We later asked another waiter if we could get coffees his reply was yes, then promptly walked off without asking for orders. We ordered at the bar coffees which again was passed around by us and they were luke warm. We had been to Murphy's several times pre covid and really enjoyed it there, but won't be back after this meal.

Tuesday Parmi Night. We both had different Parmi meals which we enjoyed. They were very reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and great service, quite a busy local Pub.

I had a 30th Birthday function in the dining area on the weekend. The staff were incredible and very accommodating. Michelle and Amrit are fantastic managers and made sure everything when accordingly. They set up everything for me after the dining service as a cocktail area with a dance floor they allowed me to hire their decks as I had a friend DJ for the night. The food was great and came out timely as requested. They allowed me to have balloons delivered earlier in the afternoon. Kelly behind the bar brought out her camera and took photos of me and my friends and family. They rustled up some candles and brought out the cake during the night. I would give these guys a 10/10 and would 100% recommend having a function here. I had an absolute ball! :

After coming back from Colac, we stopped at a peaceful and relaxed spot. The Carlton Draught beer was delightful. The menu was easy to navigate. We decided on the Chicken Parmi Sauce and Fish and Chips. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long journey.

Murphy's has a covered deck so weather is not an issue. The view is fantastic, overlooking Corio Bay towards the You Yangs. The food is delicious and the service is top-notch. Murphy's is a hidden gem in Geelong.
