About

Murphy’s Kitchen & Bar is located on High Street in Edinburgh, right in the heart of the city’s historic Royal Mile. This central spot makes it a convenient choice for anyone exploring the area, whether you’re visiting nearby attractions or simply strolling through this iconic part of town.

The menu leans into hearty, pub-style fare with a focus on classic comfort dishes. Expect a mix of familiar favourites and filling plates, with everything made fresh in-house. The kitchen takes pride in using local ingredients wherever possible, offering a taste of Scotland alongside more universal pub staples. Expect a variety of hearty dishes, from bangers and mash with lashings of gravy and the pub’s very own pies, to steak and chips or an indulgent double cheese burger.

The space itself is designed to feel approachable and functional, with a layout that caters to diners looking for a meal as well as those stopping in for a pint. The space offers comfy booth seating, with a vibrant green lighting that leans into the pub's Irish roots. Its location on the Royal Mile makes it well-suited for visitors and locals alike, whether you’re popping in for a quick bite or settling in for a longer meal.

The drinks list complements the food with a selection of beers, wines, and spirits, making it as much a place to enjoy a drink as it is to sit down for a meal. Murphy’s also welcomes walk-ins, so you can drop by without a reservation.
