    It's a diamond in the rough. It was a little more happening under the previous owner but the new ones are keeping the tradition alive. This is THE spot for soccer, Gaelic football events etc. The service is exceptional.

    There are great craft beers on tap, excellent atmosphere and the food is excellent. The crowd can be hit and miss, but the weekend is always interesting with open jam nights and pool tournaments.

    It's a local SW legend!

    Service is fine but nothing to write home about. Food leaves much to be desired. Would come back, but they seem to have a fruit fly problem.

    Been there quite a few times since the new owners took over in February. Have had almost every item on the menu and am yet to regret my choice. Service is friendly and efficient. New menu works for me

    Service is good but the food is horrible.  I ordered a burger and yam fries.  The burger was so dry, it tasted like sawdust and crumbled the same way.  There was no mustard on the burger and no mustard in the condiment/cutlery kit on the table so I asked for some and was given a small dish of what looked like possibly dijon mustard and mayonnaise, not regular yellow mustard and had no flavour at all.  Why no regular mustard?  The homemade (whose home I wonder) yam fries were OK, but just OK, and the chipotle mayo served alongside was a greasy disaster with zero flavour.  It was actually separated with some kind of oil floating on the top.  

    This is my second visit to Murdoch's.  The first time it was a busy evening and I wrote off the bad experience to an overworked kitchen and staff but this time the place had only one other table with patrons so there was no excuse.  One of the worst meals I've had in Calgary and if anyone ever suggests this greasy spoon again I will refuse.

    Tried the fish and chips, very average. Very thin skinny fish strips in a thick flour batter, oily

    French fries home made but undercooked and very greasy, sitting on a small pool of oil

    Service was excellent
