Murphy's Bar

About

Murphy’s Bar — usually styled Murphy’s Irish Pub & Restaurant — is a long-standing Irish pub in the Nong Prue / East Pattaya area, off Soi Khao Noi, known for Guinness, Sunday roasts, sports and a family-friendly welcome. Its current trading status, however, is uncertain.

Status

The pub’s own Facebook page currently lists it as permanently closed, while older review pages preserve trading-era descriptions. Treat the operator status as controlling unless the business publishes a reopening.

Details

• Area: East Pattaya (Nong Prue), off Soi Khao Noi

Which status signal carries most weight

The operator Facebook page is the strongest current identity source and marks the business permanently closed. Tripadvisor and the REm Magazine feature preserve the Soi Khao Noi venue’s trading-era format, including its pub-and-restaurant role, sports and pool facilities. Those older descriptions cannot override an operator closure flag. Until the operator posts a reopening or another current source documents trading, the evidence supports avoiding a dedicated journey.

The facilities are historical

The REm Magazine profile describes the former operation with sports screens, a pool table and a small swimming pool at the rear, while the restaurant record preserves its food role. These are details about what Murphy’s was, not facilities a visitor can use now. The operator’s permanent-closure label controls the recommendation regardless of how recently an older review was posted.

REm’s profile was published on 10 March 2021 and described a modern, light interior rather than the dark-wood styling associated with many Irish pubs. It also said the dining area was set apart but customers could eat elsewhere while watching televised sport. Those layout details help identify the former operation, but they remain historical because the operator page now carries the closure label.
