Johnny Murphy’s Bar & Restaurant
Review
Johnny Murphy’s in Meigh, near Newry, is an exceptional family-run pub that seamlessly blends tradition and modern hospitality. From the moment you walk into the place, the nostalgic atmosphere draws you in, with its cozy décor and welcoming ambiance. The food is undoubtedly a highlight, with people travelling from far and wide to savour the hearty, home-cooked meals. The pub is immaculately run, and the owners have clearly perfected their craft, ensuring every aspect, from the kitchen to the service, is absolutely top-notch. The staff are friendly, attentive, and embody the highest standards, making you feel right at home. Though steeped in traditional charm, Johnny Murphy’s offers a contemporary touch, welcoming guests from all walks of life. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is a must-visit spot on the border of counties Armagh and Down, and one of the finest pubs in Ireland that I have visited so far.
