    A great traditional Irish meal with a twist. We sat at the bar for dinner and had a great experience! Quaint and intimate interior. It is cash only, though. And I always forget!

    Not your average Irish pub! I may be biased since my husband shares his name with this restaurant, but it’s underrated. Great cocktails and pub fare in a cozy setting. Cash only!

    When you think you want pub food, this is what you really want. Hearty stews, killer fish and chips, in-house ketchup and no white sugar on the premises. [Eater 38 Member]

    An intimate but laid back Irish pub in Brookline Village that serves by far the best Irish fare in town.

    No TVs or commercial sodas allowed. Homemade takes on classic dishes and condiments. A lamb sirloin sandwich included on Esquire's Best Sandwiches in America list. Read more

    The newly renovated Matt Murphy's is very nice. Sit at the bar, play with the warm lamps, chat with Andy, order a Guinness, and enjoy the egg salad and salmon sandwich. I get it EVERY time.

    If you find yourself at MM's at 10pm, wait fir the late night menu. Get a Black Hill Maple while you wait for the menus to appear then order a boxty or three and the lamb butties. You'll be be set.

    Cash only-no credit cards accepted...strange for a restaurant where an entrée averages $20+ and a cocktail is $10+. Weird ambiance and not worth the money :( could have been better...

    There see American Irish Pubs, Irish Pubs, and then Matt Murphy's. I feel like I'm eating back in the mother country

    I've long been a regular of MM (& a long-time major) and am sad to report that w/ no Andy, no late night menu, & a pretty boy salesman waiter pushing cocktails -- things are going downhill fast. WTF?
