    Great fun for a late night dancing with live music, or for watching the rugby! Friendly pub with decent cheap and cheerful food

    A place that looks like Irkkubup right next to the market. In the summer, there is also a terrace. Food available in addition to drinks. Not my culinary wish, but my stomach will be full. The piling music is playing quite loudly. Live music is also available. With liquids, you can also watch sports on many different screens.

    Live and vibrant bar in the old town where local musicians play. The atmosphere is pretty good but be cautious if you want to order food. Everything was bland and stale. The burger waa just awful and the fried stuff were bland and not crispy at all.

    The pub is amazing. It was an open mic night where a lot of talented musicians came to one place! It was my first night in Tallinn…Thanks to all musicians who made the night unbelievable 💜

    Very nice to have a beer and something light to eat. And cheap it is in the Town hall square of Tallinn. Good service. They are kind with customers.

    The location of this bar is great and you can not help but spot it right from the Old Town Square. The bar had a nice environment and I suppose is much nicer with live music, since there had the place for the band there, but unfortunately this time there was no music. The bartender was very friendly and the nice thing about this place and many others bars or restaurants in Tallinn was that they had a smoking room, so you don’t have to go outside in the cold to take a smoke. Quite unusual for a lot of European countries.

    Cozy venue, good choice of drinks. Barmens work is very good, live music was super! We have been lucky to enjoy fantastic band Tri Tones. However, food is not what you should come here for ;)

    Nice pub food and a decent selection of draft beers. There is a proper bristle dart board and they have darts behind the bar for use with a deposit. We played a few games - bullseye baseball, cricket, golf, and boring old 501. Service was slow at first but picked up so it made for a nice evening in Old Town Tallinn.

    An amazing bar to have a few drinks. Definitely recommend stopping by!

    I had a lot of fun at this pub singing during the karaoke party and dancing. The organizer of the party was kind, funny and she engaged with the people who went there. Keep on organizing lovely parties. Can't wait to try the food too!

    Mad Murphy's is a cozy and lively Irish pub in the heart of Tallinn old town. The food is tasty. The only downside is that the back rooms can get quite smoky from the food, so if you are sensitive to that, you might want to sit in the front or outside. Otherwise, Mad Murphy's is a great place to enjoy a pint and a bite in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.

    'Only been here in the afternoons, but it's a nice place to chill with a decent pint of Guinness. 'Tried the Hoggy's pear cider later on with a delicious hamburger, all good! There's also a nice vege-burger option available. Service was friendly and quick. Prices were a little expensive, but quite normal for the Old Square in Tallinn.

    Great pub, busy with a good atmosphere even though it was a Sunday night. Huge choice of whiskey. Open mic was on which we enjoyed along with the good music playing in the bar.

  • 2/5 Ellie G. 4 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    Nothing ‘mad’ or Irish about it. Beer tastes like the line hasn’t been cleared in a while. One very rude staff member, the rest were okay. No atmosphere to speak of, very very quiet even during the Christmas period. We visited on a Tuesday so maybe it’s livelier on a weekend, but as a tourist bar in the main square you’d expect a bit more. Didn’t have food so can’t comment on that.

  • 3/5 Han S. 8 months ago on Google
    Great own dark beer. The worst fish and chips in Tallinn so far and possibly in the whole galaxy. Good location and large patio in the heart of Tallinn. Do not order fish and chips, you’ve been warned! Service just ok.

  • 3/5 Madis 7 months ago on Google
    Typical tourist trap Irish pub. The bartender was attentive but generally more interested in the stories her workmate was telling her than the customers. Food was middling, at best. The fish and chips was clearly frozen fillets, deep fried and the shepherd's pie was mostly tomato sauce. Fries are decent if you're sick of wedges in Tallinn. Decent if you're into swilling beer and watching football.

    ⚠️ such an amazing place, if you once been here, you will be addicted 😁 ➡️ Really an international meeting point as well. I really recommend this place and I had the opportunity to visit when the Tri-Toon was playing, super cool 😎

    Nice spot in the middle of Talin's main square. Good food... service it's normal and the price it's normal.

    Irish coffee was good. Nice place with multiple tv screens.

  • 2/5 Pirkko S. 4 months ago on Google
    Mitään tekemistä "irkkujen" kanssa vaikka Shamrock valotaululla lukikin. Hah. Aika tyly meininki. Tiskin takana näytti olevan mielenkiintoisempaa jutella ns. kantisten kanssa kuin vastata " porojen" kysymyksiin. Baari jo tylsä sisustukseltaan, musiikista nuo plussat.

  • 4/5 Simon B. 1 year ago on Google
    It's an Irish bar style place with a bustling atmosphere. When I visited had a live band on who were great and the drinks selection is big enough to keep you going. It feels like a bit of travellers bar but was friendly and nice to hang out in.

  • 1/5 Arto T. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered two dishes, and waitress confimed order twice. We ordered two drinks without ice, we got drinks with ice. However dishes took long time. we got dishes very different time. Other managed eat his/her meal before get another. Meals were quite cold when they finally arrived.

    Cool and cozy place! Irish beer and air.

  • 5/5 Neil M. 2 years ago on Google
    An Irish pub in the very centre of old town Tallinn. Guinness more expensive than Dublin which is saying something :) lol. However, always nice for a quick pint of in the old town. Empty on this afternoon. Pandemic had got tourism and those is a tourist place for sure. Friendly English bar man. I'm sure it picked up after 5pm.

  • 5/5 Ance D. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good shots with Baileys. Decent toilets but you can mistake them with a supply closet, half decent chairs...BUT VERY NICE LEPRECHAUNS AFTER THE SHOT!❤

    Was assisted by a newly waiter. Was was slow by him self, but service good. He got good backup from colleagues/management. Food good, unfortunately no Heineken...

  • 5/5 Illimar S. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow i was there yesterday and there was so good rockband! I really like that place!

  • 5/5 SĂŠrgio P. 4 years ago on Google
    Service was friendly and live music was amazing! It was full of people but it is comprehensible for a Saturday night. Please try the local dark beer ;) Definitely I will be back!

  • 4/5 Melik D. 2 years ago on Google
    What’s the difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish funeral? There’s one less drunk at the party. As settled in the heart of Old Town square, foods and live music are nice, service is "slow", beers are expensive but good.

  • 4/5 Max S. 2 years ago on Google
    Belhaven on tap is excellent (6,5 euro) Food is mediocre (exactly what you can expect in pub). It's better to order on the bar as the service for the tables is delayed (only one person is running everything inside)

  • 5/5 Rihard K. 2 years ago on Google
    Cheapest beer I found in old town here in Tallin. If you need a rest and have a taste for beer, definitely go there :)

  • 3/5 Erkki K. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice place with a fairly good selection and many screens for sports. But a bit on the expensive side especially considering the local price level and how the mens restroom was so filthy and disgusting too.

  • 1/5 Dmitri S. 2 years ago on Google
    I visited that place at first time and I got a bad experience. Dirty seats and dirty tables. Personal is very kind but too much work for them ....

  • 5/5 Elizabeth T. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good food! Guinness beef was tender and delicious. Cottage pie was warm and hardy. Garlic bread was unexpected, hard strips, but good.

  • 5/5 Mulder M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great beer and good food the staff are on the ball here there was entertainment in the square opposite.

  • 3/5 Luke G. 1 year ago on Google
    Expensive compared to the local competition. Also not particularly authentically Irish. I’d recommend one of the countless other Irish bars for a more authentic experience.

  • 1/5 Dominik T. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst bar.Waited for 20 minutes, tried to order 2 beer at the bar. The barkeeper said no, he has to prepare something. There were about 10 people in and noone came to take an order. We left after 30 minutes.

  • 3/5 RiDyCY 1 year ago on Google
    Nice food served in decent-sized portions. Choices of beer are alright. Staff was the biggest problem - acted cool that they can get away without writing down the order, but then held us for 30 minutes to figure out where did 2 additional beers that we did not had came from on the bill... Disappointing.

  • 3/5 Jyrki M. 2 years ago on Google
    This pub a lot more Irish in the past. Unfortunately it has lost some of its appeal. I would describe this place more as a sports bar with an Irish twist. Good location though.

  • 2/5 Michael K. 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere was great. People were friendly. The bartender and her Indian BF was another issue. I ordered a snakebite. For an Irish bar it should be already learned. Step 1 - Pour hard apple cider into a pint glass about halfway. Step 2 - Pour Guinness over the back of a spoon to help create the layers in this drink. The goal is to pour equal parts of Guinness and hard apple beer. She poured them in the wrong order. When I objected she said I need to be charged for something different - unreal and not the Irish hospitality that I'm used to ... And I'm Irish.

👍 Dubliner sijaitsee vanhankaupungin laidalla, toisessa päässä kuin laivaterminaalit. Paikka näyttää olevan suomalaisten suosiossa ja kahtena peräkkäisenä iltana täällä syöneenä kuuli paljon suomea. Itse ruoka oli hintaansa nähden hyvää. Sisäfileepihvi lisukkeineen kustansi 12.50€. Juomat hanasta ovat...

👍 I enjoyed the food the lady who served me recommended. I had the Kiev cutlet and chicken filled with cheese. It was a different flavor than I was used to so it was good.
