A classic local Upper East Side bar where you will have a pleasant experience every time.

Murphy's Law is a quaint Upper East Side bar with a pub-style atmosphere that harkens to the tradition of Ireland's public houses. The bar dates back to the time of prohibition, when patrons would risk the wrath of the law for a pint of Murphy's tasty brews.

Located by three area hospitals, Murphy's Law has become a favorite local spot for doctors and medical staff as one can see from the daily happy hour crowds in the front bar.  Happy hour runs daily from 4pm-7pm.

The rear dining area is cozy, warm and inviting with painted murals on the walls depicting the Irish countryside. The restaurant serves seven days a week, with full lunch, dinner and brunch (served Saturdays and Sundays) menus. House specials are served daily.

View our menu.

The kitchen boasts delicious hot wings and one of the best burgers in the neighborhood. There are weekly nightly specials, including Monday night's "Burger and a Beer", and Sunday's Brunch special.

More than just your average bar:

Murphy's Law is now proud to be one of the best sports bars around, with state-of-the art televisions and sound system playing all NFL, MLB, NBA & NHL Packages every night, as well as English Premier & all UEAFA Champions League games.

Call us at 212-628-3724 for more information or to make reservations, or just stop by and have a pint with your friends!

  Forget the big corporate places... ( - Stephanie S. rates it 8 out of 10) - you can get it all here, and with a smile, not a grimace. From Italian to burgers, to finger foods, they do it well here.

  Love it here ( - ilsabugs rates it 8 out of 10) - Good but not great food and a very comfortable atmosphere. One of my favorite pubs. Decent juke box but can get a little too crowded with all the hospital staff. Not everyone thinks they are special and deserve a buy back just because… ...read more
