Vini   (08 August 2004)         

the best warmup bar there is in zante.

murphys is the best warmup bar there is. prices are a tad harsh, but when you have the music, the birds + the t**t of a dj to take the p**s out of its all worth it.

definitely one to checkout!

Emily G  (06 August 2004)         

Best bar!!!screaming orgasms are mint!!!
great place to go before heading across the road to rescue!!

Craig   (20 July 2004)         

THE SCOTTISH BOYS HAD A GREAT TIME IN LAGANAS AND MAD MURPHYS WAS A HUGE REASON 4 THAT.CHEERS

Sarah B  (18 July 2004)

Carli   (25 June 2004)         

this bar is great! we came in here every night! loved the guy n girl barstaff who did the dance thing from 'Dirty Dancing' that must of took loads of practise guys! well done!

Dan M  (23 June 2004)         

Over priced over rated and a real let down.

Chris M  (21 June 2004)         

Everything you need for a fun night out - especially Leanne behind the bar.

Andrea S  (09 June 2004)         

Just arrived back from Zante and Mad Murphys is without a doubt the best bar on the island. The craic is 90 and staff are fantastic some may be a little cheeky (Mark). Went there most nights as the music and the singing was excellent. Well done guys have a good season.

Aoife (30 March 2004)

myself and a group of 10 friends will be coming to laganas in july we are wonderin how much on average a drink or cocktail is over there is it roughly the same as here in eire????

Ant M  (25 March 2004)         

good bar if u want to get away from the teenie bopper crowd and have a relativley quiet night out. one word to describe the guinnes tho: undrinkable. and thats unforgivable for an irish pub (im a bit dubious about the full extent of the irishness). the rest of the drinks were ok tho and its one of the few places u can get proper lager on draught.

good laugh tho and the music is a different pace from the house/ garage type of stuff everywhere else plays.

fewer burberry wearing lager louts than the rest of the island as well.

Bill & Anna  (18 March 2004)         

Was over in Laganas at the end of September with my partner and had a superb holiday, and enjoyed many nights in Mad Murphys. Great entertainment and had a good laugh with the lads behind the bar especially ian and lee. Hope you are both well lads if you read this. Would also like to say hello to the PR girl lauren enjoyed having our little chat with you each night we walked up the strip. Any way we would highly recommend this bar for a good night for all! And im happy to say we are coming back over this year on the 2nd of September and hope to see you all again.

Bill & Anna

Eleanor W  (26 January 2004)         

This is for Skutt, Ian and Lee! I hope one of you lot actually read this! Its Eleanor here I used to work in hot lips! I want to thank you guys for keeping me company in the nights and giving me sambouka when I needed a lift, actuallly I never needed that lift! Loved singing karaoke with you guys and espeshially something stupid with skutt! Skutt I really fancied that pants off you!I'm home now working my bottom off, nearly driving! well I can dream! Are you guys going back next year? I'm not so sure yet lets see how my love life develops with this special someone I met! Fingers crossed! Get in touch boys! Skutt meet me at three! Lots of love elz

Emily H  (21 January 2004)         

Thinkin of comin to laganas this summer after visitin last year while satyin in kalamaki! Was just wonderin if anyone can let me know if the gaa matches will be shown cos i couldnt go here unless i know i wud get to see my boys in blue in action!

Sara C  (20 October 2003)         

Hello Skutt, now ur probably won't even check this but hey i don't mind. Its really good wen blokes that you spend the night with tell you that they've only been with about 10 girls over the whole summer. And yes i really believe that, just check on cherry bay mate every other comment is about you and your antics. Ah but never mind mate i don't mind you being a slag you're only young. But you were still great and Eleanor agrees. See you next year darling! xxx O and why don't you tell people your real name?!

Louise R  (10 August 2003)         

best pint of guiness ever - and a barman from Lancashire, what more could you want?!

Jenni R  (04 August 2003)         

Mad Murphys was fantastic, the only place that had a pub atmosphere rather than a bar. The staff are really friendly, and a great laugh. They give you free shots and even dance for you! Who cares if they're not Irish, the atmosphere is, without excluding the rest of us. Me and my boyfriend went there most nights, because apart from anything else they bother to know your name and make you feel welcome. They also won't try and con you like a lot of bars did (Pop Bar..) Iain the barman rocks!

Jenni & James

Marianne C  (27 July 2003)         

Brilliant place, Staff were amazin! Especially Mark , Stef , Iain and paula and cleonni! the twins will never forget u guys!

Laura C  (22 July 2003)         

mad murphys is no doubt the best bar on the island!
great to get away from all of the rnb that seems to be played in every other bar/club.
mark the dj was brilliant, and the barman/women are a great laugh.
karaoke was hilarious and jackass is on the big screen all night
the manageresss needs to get off her a**e though and do some work.

overall brilliant place, thoroughly enjoyed myself in murphys every night

Jj +  (19 July 2003)         

Steve, I totally agree with your comments. Murphy's is a top banana....oops no thats the bar-nar-nar bar.....definately worth a beer or two, but must recommend the LONG FLUGELS !!!

Music good, atmosphere brilliant and the bar staff are cool....

Big up top man Len !!!!

Hanna A  (07 July 2003)         

Just come back from Zante and we wish that we were still there!! We spent most nights in Mad Murphys and always had a fab night. the staff are fab - esp Iain - the music is brill and the cocktails were among the best that we had all holiday, and not expensive as some people said!! Cant believe some people have slated this place so much, we really would recommend it to everyone. They may not have Irish Staff, but they have the friendliest staff!! Get yourself in there and we guarantee you will have fun!!!

Steve K  (05 July 2003)         

the worcester boys were in laganas for 2 weeks - big boy, scratch, spiro, jj, sonic, and creesey. there wasnt one day where we didnt go murphys bar. the atmosphere is brilliant. the staff were really friendly (especially denise!! coz she has the fittest a**e on the island!!).

it was the only bar that we visited to give out free shots all night!!!

Kerry   (04 June 2003)         

what a joke heh we went there in may this yr and its a irish bar with english bar staff with the manager standin by the bar all night like a sour face cow. as my fella is irish he really thought it took the p**s english workin in a irish bar!!maybee next year they wil get it right hehe (",)

Julie G  (24 May 2003)         

ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE HAD MANY A GOOD NIGHT IN HERE! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT!!! THE DRINKS WERE BRILLIENT AND THE PRICE WERE THE SAME AS EVERY WHERE ELSE!!!!

THE BAR STAFF ARE WICKED! BUT I THINK THE MANAGER NEEDS A KICK UP THE BACKSIDE, SHE STOOD AROUND DOING NOWT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE MUSIC WAS GREAT AND THEY HAD JACKASS ON THE BIG SCREENS FROM MIDNIGHT, THEY ALSO SO ALL THE FOOTBALL/RUGBY GAMES!!

I RECONMEND IT TO ALL, GO IN AND HAVE A GOOD NIGHT!!!!!

Sam L  (20 February 2003)         

fate hath brought me to this establishment during the early period of leo's astrological reign - july. except for the post-modern dylanesque musings of the musicians, this place resembled the shameful readings of plato's "republic" in the venetian oratoriums during the separatist rioting of 1557. twas indeed rather a vague attempt at phenomenology, on the part of the bar staff. the marie antoinette-like "manager" displayed a rather extravagant propensity towards the habits and appearance of the greek medusa. for the uninitiated (dumb), this place is s**te.

Dana H  (18 January 2003)         

we were here in aug and the two guys behind the bar were irish and totally lovely good bar to start of in and there is a huge tri coulour out side the bar good for a photo if your in to that sort of thing

Kit M  (26 September 2002)         

AM JUST BACK 4 DAYS AND BY GOD A WISH I WAS STILL THERE.MAD MURPHYS WAS A GREAT BAR FOR ME, THE STAFF WERE FANTASTIC REALLY FRIENDLY.THIS IS A PUB WERE YOU CAN GO TO CHILLOUT OR GET IN THE DANCING MOOD.ADAM WAS THE DJ AND HE IS A ACE GUY THE GIRLS ARE SCATTY.DESPITE THIS IRISH PUB BEEN OWND BY A GREEK AND FULL OF ENGLISH WORKERS THE ATMOSTFEAR WAS THERE,SO TAKE A JONT IN IF YOU GO TO LAGANOS.SOBER KIT.

Jo   (21 September 2002)         

WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH,THE BIT WHERE WE SAT WAS DIRTY,1 AND A HALF PINTS OF LAGER & A PK OF CRISPS COST US 7euros,the bar man was not even polite.MAJOR RIP OFF,ID SAY SPEND THAT CASH NEXT DOOR.

Susan E  (18 September 2002)         

It was not too bad, when I went the footie was on and it was happy hour, cocktails were buy one get one free @ 4€ the staff did seem a bit stressed but it was ok.

Toni C  (15 September 2002)         

Allegedly two couples from our complex visited this bar and one of the guys came away with a nice black eye for doing nothing off the doorstaff....(.nice way to treat ya income me thinks.) Am sure there are two sides to the storey but not a place i would visit am glad was told b4 going there

Gary C  (09 September 2002)         

This was the most expensive bar that we come across on holidya and the worst! it was freezing cold cause the air conditioning was on too long and the bar staff were rude! i wouldnt go here again if they paid me!! save your euros and go somewhere else :-)

Basil T  (02 September 2002)         

Expensive. Avoid, unless you're desperate for a pint of Guinness (I had two in two weeks) €5 each.

Keith W  (01 September 2002)         

The same round was half the price in our hotel! Very expensive with very little in the way of atmosphere. The redeeming feature was the view of the street from the balcony.

Sin B  (30 August 2002)         

Whatever they try and tell you, this is definitely not an Irish bar. The girls on the door are English, the owner is Greek and its run by Dutch!! Need i say more - totally fake and over-priced. Didn;t even show the GAA matches when an English bar down the road did!!

Samantha P  (13 August 2002)         

hi though this bar was wicked and coming to greece in may looking for summer work May till october... COuld you please emial me if any1 knows of jobs. sampurkis2001@yahoo.co.uk

Kelly   (24 July 2002)         

Smashing Bar, great place to party into the night, Get the barmen to do their S Club 7 dance its wicked :) Cant wait to come back in September

Bex   (18 July 2002)         

Having Irish roots I loved this bar, but wherever you come from you will enjoy the live music and cheap drinks all night. Perfect place just to chill out, listen to classic music and watch some sexy lads play pool!

Nk   (09 July 2002)         

best bar around, drinks cheaper than all the other bars on the strip, staff lovely cool session on each night well worth the visit made our holiday!!!!

Claire O  (14 May 2002)         

I enjoyed this bar. Staff were very friendly and good entertainment on most nights. You can sit at the bar which overlooks the main road of laganas.
