Paddy Murphys in Bangor - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great little Irish pub! Tuesday is open mic night for Irish music. About 10 people showed up with everything from fiddles to flutes to a harp. Great times!

Love this place. Food great and waitress was good.

They were busy so service was a little slow. The food was real good. Staff was friendly. Parking was difficult, but there was a concert somewhere close by.

The staff is very nice, prompt, and helpful. Inside, the atmosphere is cosy. Outside, is pleasant until motor cycles rev by. There are lots of tasty choices on the menu (I really like the sweet potato fries.)

Had such an enjoyable experience here! Food was wonderful, service was great. Prices were higher on some things but the food was worth the price. Every time we are in Bangor it a must go to!

I cannot drive 6 hours from Montréal to eat there and come back (!), and say the good isn't good, right ? Menu has completely change since my last visit (2019), and they sort out my favorite meal (Irish stew in a bread bowl), but that's ok, because EVERYTHING is good !

The butternut squash salad was super tasty. The fish and chips were pretty neutral. The fish was slightly overcooked but the taste was as expected. It's a great spot in Bangor with nice outdoor seating. I would return again.

Nice for a quick meal while on the road.

I can't miss experience in the heart of Bangor, definitely got to check out the "padio"

This place is a jewel! Abby was such a great server. She was both knowledgeable about the food and got extremely excited talking about her recommendations. We got the poutine, fish & chips, and a cup of French onion soup. It was all good, but the French onion soup was the best I've eaten anywhere. Additionally, they actually played Irish pub music in an authentic Irish pub atmosphere. Highly recommend!!

Recent menu changes have taken a few (of my) favorites off the menu. Decent selection of beers.

Boyfriend and I came here to pass the time before our around lunchtime . We were greeted promptly and the server was able to get us a spot outside on the patio. The host was sweet and ensured our table was clean. We had the Poutine to start and it was phenomenal. Bf had the Guinness burger and I had the Crabby Paddy (crabcake quesadilla). It was a delicious meal and perfect service by Jenn G. Thanks for having us!

Great Irish bar with delicious food and friendly staff.

Fun Irish pub/restaurant to visit when in Bangor Maine! Food and service were excellent!

True pub atmosphere, good food. A plus is that you are able to sample the different craft beers before deciding which to have. Lots of choices. We had fish and chips and cottage pie, both very good. My husband asked for some bread or rolls to go with his cottage pie but all they had was oysterette crackers, which was a bit disappointing. We shared a wonderful dessert! Service was excellent! We would have liked to have been seated outside but those tables were all taken. Inside was very comfortable.

Really enjoyed our supper here. We were able to eat outside and relax! Would definitely recommend it!

Loved it! Good food, good service, and had a couple of really good beers.

Great food and drinks and great service. Always a good experience at Paddy Murphys in Bangor.

Lovely atmosphere, very great vibes lots of amazing live music and friendly staff. Their guinness burger is a personal favorite of mine!

Excellent pub feel as always. Food is quite good as well.

We waited and waited by the door. No acknowledgement from the staff. Yes it was somewhat busy weekend lunch but having worked in restaurants this staff where wide eyed newbies. We ended up leaving as did the couple in front of us. We went to Seadog which was busier and were seated within 5 minutes and had our meals pretty quick.

Worst dining experience No service at all

Nice pub with an Irish feel. Lots of beers on tap, and a seizable menu to choose all your favorite tavern food! Always live entertainment in the evenings! Excellent place to kick back and enjoys a drink or two!!

The food was great, the menu has some traditional Irish and New England dishes as well as original takes. Great service.

Had a great experience at the bar, Tyler had good beer recommendations, and there was live music when I was there, will be back

I've always enjoyed the food, staff,layed back atmosphere ECT, Only reason I gave 4 stars is because I wish prices of drinks were a lil cheaper but other than that I'd highly recommend this place

Food was pretty good. The pickles were perfect and the French dip Sammy was killer. However, the chicken sandwich was dry. Service was stellar.

Excellent food. Good service. Professional staff. There is so much, not volume, just excellent choices, on the menu that's it difficult to choose.

Great food, friendly and prompt service. We'll be back. Highly recommended.

Great food, great atmosphere, reasonable pricing.

Disappointed. I Got bangers and mash. They came out fast. Too fast. Everything on the plate was cold. Good flavors, but cold. Greenbeans were raw and cold. Crisp is good, but these were raw or nearly raw. Bangers were charred, yet still cold. Cooked beforehand. Should have gotten the corned beef. I didn't complain as the place was a bit busy and I was hungry and in a hurry. Beer was a little overpriced, but the food was reasonable.

Good food, friendly service. Always happy to visit.

Typical Irish Pub, so the atmosphere was as expected. I'm GF, so I was grateful to find something on the menu that I could eat. I had the cottage pie which was delicious, and my kids both enjoyed their pulled pork sandwhich and burger. The service was ok. There was a mixup with my drink, not once, but twice. Maybe she was new, because aside from that, she was sweet. I'd go back.

Food is always very tasty and service is great.

Love the decor, the food was fantastic, I have had bangers this good in a long time, and their pulled pork is smoked to perfection. The staff was very friendly and attentive to all the tables. I would definitely recommend stopping in and having a bite or a brew if your in the area.

We sat outside and got Irish soda bread to start. It comes with a sweet spiced butter and was great. I got the corned beef and cabbage meal, and my partner got the steak and cheese with mashed potatoes (champ). Both were delicious. The atmosphere was great. There's a bucket of chalk on the sidewalk, several people stopped to write things and take pictures. We will be back next time we are in town.

The quintessential Irish pub experience. Great food, incredible staff, and karaoke Mondays are always a good time!

Garbage. Hostess was rude, music was a joke, food - no thanks. Guinness was warm. But really, the service was really the worst. Hope it closes down like the rest of the street.

The server was exactly what you would want. Very attentive, all around great experience

I wish I had taken a picture of my Butternut squash salad. It was Amazing!! Large portion, fresh ingredients, and amazing flavor. I finished it off by sharing their bread pudding with my husband. My husband had the Cottage Pie and barely finished it. 2 thumbs up!!!

Patty Murphy's Pub is a hidden gem that effortlessly marries the charm of a traditional Irish pub with the allure of exceptional, home-crafted beverages and distinctive snacks. A standout experience for visitors is undoubtedly their amazing home cider. This isn't your run-of-the-mill cider; it's a masterful creation that captures the essence of expertly curated apples, resulting in a drink that's both refreshing and complex, with a depth of flavor that's absolutely to die for. It's the kind of drink that not only quenches your thirst but also leaves a lasting impression, making you yearn for just one more sip. But what truly sets Patty Murphy's apart is their iconic gigantic pretzel. This isn't just any pretzel; it's an epicurean marvel that redefines what you thought possible in the world of baked dough. Its sheer size is a spectacle in itself, but it's the taste and texture that steal the show. Perfectly baked to achieve a golden crust while maintaining a soft, chewy interior, it's a pretzel that elevates the humble snack to new heights. Paired with their signature dipping sauces, each bite is a delightful journey through flavors and sensations. The atmosphere at Patty Murphy's adds another layer to the experience. Stepping into the pub, you're greeted by an ambiance that's both cozy and vibrant, a place where the troubles of the outside world seem to melt away as you're immersed in good cheer and the camaraderie of fellow patrons. In conclusion, Patty Murphy's Pub is more than just a place to grab a drink; it's a sanctuary for those who appreciate the finer things in life, like a cider that dances on your palate and a pretzel that's nothing short of legendary. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to make their night out a memorable one.

WELL WORN Irish pub that I am sure has seen a lot of fun late nights. Had the Guinness barbecue pub burger. Cooked perfect. A bun that held up to the half pound of beef. House potato chips were excellent. Of course Guinness and Harp Beer on tap. Gets crowded, even for lunch.

Great food great service and great atmosphere

I am an Irish pub connoisseur. Very niche restaurant with a small but very Irish pub feel dining room and nice views of the old buildings of downtown Bangor. This place is good, although seating is limited and they even have live music. Gets the official stamp of approval from the Irish Pub Connoisseur Committee.

Only been once when i was in Bangor for a few days, from what I recall, quite good.

three strikes - ordered takeout three different times.. tried five things on the menu... HARD pass. chicken tenders are actually chicken cutlets and are mediocre at best.. onion rings were overcooked.. then, tried the mac and cheese - safe, right? WRONG! whole cloves of garlic and absolutely disgusting! next time it was the bowl of french onion soup (a four ounce bowl, by the way) with a poor excuse for a slice of bread (not even toasted) on the side rather than actual croutons in the soup.. the bread had a thick layer of not even melted swiss cheese (isn't it supposed to be Gruyere?) .. the broth tasted like straight up beer.. onions not cooked nearly long enough or sliced correctly.. so gross! and the fried cheese curds were a sore disappointment as well.. the "marinara" that they come with needs to be eaten with a fork and just isn't good at all.. save your money or go to Geaghan's if you're set on an Irish spot. Never again..

One of my favorite places in Bangor to visit! Consistently good service and the food doesn't disappoint!

The only negative thing about this fine establishment is location. Parking on the street is very limited, we had to park in the public garage around the block. The city of Bangor must know this isn't a great situation because the first 2 hours in the garage is free. Especially during the colder months and other times of inclement weather. The menu offers so many options you will definitely not be disappointed. Everything we had was absolutely delicious. I'll definitely come back, in the warmer months.

When we first arrived the hostess sitter us at a table with stools, which fine. Then a gentleman got up from the booth beside us and said he was the owner and the lady was his manager and very graciously offered the booth to us. I knew we were on for wonderful service. And that is what we received. The food was also amazing. So thank you Paddy Murphys for a wonderful experience at my first Irish pub. ❤️

Wicked awesome Irish style pub in Bangor! I wish I was home more often to visit.

Cozy Irish pub with great food. Great ambience. Throw in some live Celtic music and it would be perfect.

Both occasions I got the corned beef and cabbage it was dry. It's a quaint atmosphere. The service has been good. Hard to find parking, but that's typical for downtown.

My go-to for lunch between errands

A nice atmosphere, not plastic Paddy at all. Good beer selection on tap.

This by far was my favorite spot I visited when I took a last minute adventure to Bangor, ME! It is super cute, cozy and inviting…I visited twice, both times I was greeted with friendly faces and both my server & bartender were so sweet and very competent!!

This is an amazing Irish pub. Atmosphere is fantastic. It’s cozy and warm and inviting. Great beers on tap, good food prepared and played well. Wait staff are friendly, polite and attentive. Menu is complete and provides great traditional Irish options and a lot of local additions. Highly recommended.

Live Irish Jam night is really great! Veg options on the menu are clearly listed. Not many but if it matters they are available!

Great time listening to Irish music tonight. Definitely worth the trip!

Awesome atmosphere with great Irish music. The food was very tasty and huge portions for a very reasonable price. The best part was the spectacular service. All workers were great but Morgan behind the bar was outstanding. She recommended food choices based upon our taste profiles. Can’t say enough good things about this very comfortable establishment

Our burgers were way overcooked, and they looked like black discs. They didn't even take one of them off the bill.

Fish n' Chips ... old school style

Great pub atmosphere, consistent quality service, and tasty food. It's a very solid choice.

Friendly staff, amazing food and it’s got a lively and warm atmosphere. Me and my friends frequent here and it’s our top destination for some fried pickles. Their french onion soup is to DIE for

Food was all over the appetizers we got, fried pickles and tater kegs, were fantastic, well seasoned and cooked. The entrees were very disappointing. The chicken tenders were not battered but covered in panko and swimming in grease on the plate. The Pub stew was bland, and had what looked like re purposed pot roast instead of stew meat which was odd. The whole meal was really hit or miss for us.

Irish pub it is. It's cozy and friendly atmosphere is lovely. Excellent selection of drafts and food is delicious. Irish music playing through, live music weekly. Game and trivia nights weekly to get your social on. My only note is the service. Staff were busy and I do appreciate their hard work but people were left standing as staff did not seat them while their were seats available. In addition, people were sat but did not receive their menus so we were left on our own. Don't expect for food to come out fast but the food will come out good and hot.

Simply one of my favorite places to go in Bangor!

Came to visit from VA and fell in love instantly!! Food was amazing, atmosphere was phenomenal and service from Scott was perfect!

I found Paddy Murphy’s one night on a trip between Ohio and Nova Scotia. It was late, I was exhausted from the long drive, and not much was open. I found an absolute gem. They have these huge wooden booths that I crawled up in and could really relax after a long drive. I decided to try the bangers and mash for the first time, and it was amazing. There was so much food, I could have made 2 meals, but it was so good I ate it all. I made a habit of stopping in every time I traveled through Bangor. And I’m sitting here in Nova Scotia hoping I get a chance to come back

Wonderful service. Wonderful music. And very tasty food for a reasonable price and huge portions. Definitely coming back!

Service was amazing The place is so lively with live music and amazing food

Excellent little Irish pub in the heart of Downtown Bangor. Great ambiance, the guitarist who was performing was a nice touch. The chicken wrap I had was akin to Shawarma and it was VERY GOOD.

Loved the atmosphere of this place. Downtown Bangor within walking distance to a lot of interesting shops. Good selection of draft and bar drinks at a reasonable price

The service and food are always excellent.

Haddock tacos were a crispy hit, stew was a thin watery miss. Atmosphere was fun, quarters were close, and the walk from the nearby parking deck after dark was extremely sketchy. Not what I expected from Maine, for sure.

Ireland and New England come together in this lively pub. Portions are generous and service is efficient and friendly. Located in walkable downtown Bangor. It was especially good on a rainy day.

Just had an outstanding lunch. Atmosphere was that of a traditional Irish pub from the moment you open the front door, the hardware of the door itself is gorgeous!! The wooden tables/booths, the floors, music and bar all on point. I had the soup of the day, Butternut Squash, delicious, hearty and flavorful, perfect for a crisp fall day. For my entree, I had the Bangers served with "champ" mashed potatoes, sauteed sauerkraut with diced apples and bacon and vegetables of the day, which was green beans. EVERY SINGLE BITE was delicious!!! Sweet, salty, savory. Comfort food at its best. My father and husband had the steak and cheese sandwich and the Guinees Beef Stew, both also so flavorful and delicious. The Guinness and Local Nonesure Red Ale were crisp and tasty. Cheers to the entire staff for the service and properly prepared food. Without a doubt, we will be back and I encourage anyone passing through or new to the area to stop in and enjoy as we did!!

Great pub ! The Guinness Stew was awesome as well as the tots !

A first rate pub experience in downtown Bangor.

Best burger in Bangor! Atmosphere was great!

Everything tasted great! Beyond the great food was great customer service. Wish I would’ve caught our waitresses name but she was very friendly and attentive. The place itself is very charming. We are visiting from South Carolina and we’re extremely impressed. Prices are great, especially when the portions are so large. If you haven’t been definitely go here!

Good location. Central to the downtown area. We ordered the haddock sandwich (good, sizable piece), chowder (it's tasted authentic), and cottage pie (neutral; needed more spice on the beef). Thu night when we dropped by and they had a jazz duo playing which added to the pub, fall atmosphere. Sat outside which allowed us to people watch.

Very fun place to dine. Excellent food!

We order two corned beef boiled dinners at what is supposed to be an Irish pub so you would think there boiled dinner would be amazing. But not at all. It came out uncooked and cold. The corned beef had no taste the cabbage was raw and hard. You couldn't even cut it with a fork. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone who want a good meal. It was vary disappointing to say the least

It's one of my favorite spots in downtown Bangor. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience. The staff is wonderful, the food is amazing, and the environment is warm and welcoming. Depending on the day there is live entertainment.

I would definitely come back/ recommend. I had the haddock sandwich and it was perfect. It was crispy, not greasy, and the bread went very well with it and didn’t feel like an afterthought. I got sweet potato fries and they were amazing. My boyfriend got a French dip and it was delicious. The fries were well seasoned as well. The only flaw was that the soda bread I ordered was a bit overdone but the house made butter was amazing and the bread itself had a great flavor outside the couple edges that were overdone so I still would give it 5 stars total for all the food.

The food was excellent! I don't know why I waited so long to try this place. I ordered Corned Beef with cabbage, carrots, and fingerling potatoes. The vegetables were crisp and fresh. The food had an amazing flavor. The prices are very comparable. The staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was definitely Irish; a cozy little pub. It was a very pleasant experience and I will definitely be going back.

I didn't eat so I can't comment on the food but the service was excellent and it's definitely a fun atmosphere. I was there on their Karaoke night and a time was had 😝.

Food is so good and felt like we was in Ireland. The inside is gorgeous. We ate outside and the city of Bangor is so interesting.

Outstanding food with great service.

Was our first time visiting. We greeted with a huge smile and seated. Our server was great. We ordered fried pickles for our start (one had a LONG hair in the batter), my daughter had the Rattlesnake Pasta and I had the Grilled Romaine with grilled steak. Both the main dishes were very tasty and to our satisfaction, although I personally would have liked a touch more balsamic reduction on my salad. We did also order dessert to go, which the Phill cake was a disappointment due to how dry it was and the ice cream and toffee sauce could not help. The dessert pretzel was delicious!! We will go back again.

best French fries that I've ever had 😭

Not the best Irish pub we've been to but we've been to a lot! Will say the toddler loved the hot dog Mac and cheese so he was happy making us happy

Normally love paddy’s. Went for lunch with my girlfriend and the wings we received were cold and uncooked in the middle. It was taken off our check and we will likely never be back.

Excellent food. Ate here on a recommendation. Butternut squash salad was good with I might want it as an entree and I don't usually eat salads. Portions including dessert were large for me, but I have a light appetite. Will visit again if I can the next time I'm seeing a meal in Bangor. Even had a good parking option nearby.

They were super busy when we arrived. Staff was friendly. Food was typical pub fare but good.

Been here for 15 minutes and NOBODY has attended to me. Just keep getting looked at like I am an exhibit at the zoo

We got the patty pub poutine and everything was great!

Les portions un peu petites mais les savoir étaient bien présentes et savoureuses.

Super leckere fish und chips, Quinoa Bowl auch lecker, sehr freundlicher Service, Blumentöpfe mit Kräutern und Tomaten bepflanzt 🥰, dicht an der Straße, daher nur 4 Sterne

Such a sweet place. The food was crazy good. Ordered poutine w/ Guinness gravy. Uh ya!!! Nice touch to the poutine and fish & chips. Why the beautifully portioned and battered haddock.
