It was so good to be back to France! The flavors, the taste, the atmosphere, the way their dishes were prepared was just a perfect souvenir from France. My wife and I enjoyed the moment. The cassoulet was amazing. The real taste of this so famous traditional dish. I highly recommend the place. What to say about our host: Olivier A French nice and funny gentleman. I’ll go back there anytime to be able to visit all the menu. Merci et bon appétit à tous!

Amazing food, amazing service! We visited during Restaurant Week April 2023 and had their 3 course meal with french onion soup, cassoulet, and the lemon tart and creme brulee. Plus had their Monday wine special (half off bottles). Some of the best French food I've eaten! Definitely would go back.

I absolutely love this classic eatery from the white linen, professional staff, seating, cuisine, and wine service... to their respect for the origins and history that lend it a timeless elegance. Kudos Le Central 👍

Iconic San Francisco establishment. Scott our sever is the best of the best. Romantic ambiance. Best beef bourguignon. Delicious escargot. French onion soup beyond compare.

I’m never compelled to share a review, but Le Central was perfect. I stopped in and had a solo dinner at the bar, and everything was wonderful. I feel like I stepped back in time to when cozy, friendly, and delicious restaurants were all filled with regulars and didn’t need a gimmick.

Had dinner before a show at SF Playhouse and it was the PERFECT spot. The service was phenomenal - warm, welcoming and attentive. Food and drinks were fantastic, especially for “girl dinner” - truffle fries, salmon cake, French onion soup + kir royale and French 75s. Happy hour is bar seating only. Absolutely coming back.

Went for Christmas Eve family brunch. The food is excellent- I enjoyed the Beef Bourguignon which was tender & delicious. Others had the Salmon & the Le Central burger. The food is excellent, atmosphere feels like a neighborhood bistro & service impeccable. Would highly recommend.

Kinda spendy but beautiful decorations inside

I was there to watch the NFL game. Very nice place. I wish they had more screen and larger screen.

At a conference and stopped by for a meal and drinks, loved it! The owners are amazing and the Fish and Chips hit the spot. Drinks were on point and loved the local vibe. If you want a familiar place to meet a few good folks and feel at home - this is the place!

Everyone was nice and food was good. Bartender has a nice dog that Everyone loves. Good place to go

We hosted our wedding after party at Murphys and the team was incredible. From attentive servers to a stellar coordinator, we were able to come in and have a great time. There was a refundable deposit (no fee!) and they allowed us to play our own music. Strongly recommend!

Go support this great pub! All the other bars in the area were closed (even though the days/times on their doors said they were open. They’ve all given up except this great pub!). Had a great chat with the publican….it was 4pm Friday afternoon and he said before COVID, this bar was packed. Office workers working from home, 3 day weekends, no-one working Friday’s in the offices, this is hurting all the great hospitality business downtown. Go to Murphy’s Pub and support a battler! It is a great bar!

Best bar in FiDi to gather with coworkers. Fast service and great drinks (reasonably priced). The bartender Val treats all of us like family and is the reason we come back (:

Ric Murphy

Nice little bar for a pint of Guinness. Irish working behind the bar. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Good place to hang out with friends in evenings (after work etc). Pretty decent beer collection and cool atmosphere inside. What's also nice is that they have outdoor seating at the backside with not much foot or mobile traffic. One of the places in the city we end up going quite often.

Jenny Griffiths

We had nachos, chilli beef and chicken wings from the bar menu and all were good. Happy hour beer 👍. Good atmosphere.

Karen Phillips

Fun casual atmosphere. We happened to catch the comedy show and it was so much fun! An hour and 1/2 and about 4 comedians. They were all funny! It was well worth the $10. We didn't have food but it looked great!

Jim Darrell

Great local watering hole with cheap eats and a decent beer selection. Always busy but not so crowded you can't find a seat. Doesn't seem to attract a lot of tourists, which is good. Patio in the back alley for folks who still like to enjoy some nicotine with their beverages.

Valerie Paxton

We had such a great time at Murphy's Pub. And we loved that the bartender, Valerie, was from Dublin. Great beer and Irish whiskey selection. Squint and you'll swear you're in Temple Bar.

We looked for a bar that is not too crowded, has a good choice of beer and serves good food. The prices are good and the staff was really friendly! Five stars!

TLDR: classic French restaurant that has a decent happy hour and decent though pricey food (non happy hour) My favorite bite was the croquette. The small salad is very very small, and I did enjoy the deviled egg. The main we got to share was the cassoulet and the portion was huge and shareable. Tons of protein with beans and a few different types of meat.

We visited this place for a brunch with friends. When we arrived around 11:30, it was pretty empty, but it got busy later on. We enjoyed the food – everything was great; my favorite was onion soup and beef bourguignon. Our waiter was wonderful and fun.

Keith W

Good vibes, not too busy. Enjoyed my time here.

Michael Mccourt

Murphy's is an okay spot for happy hour. Food is not great, though I do enjoy the cheese sticks a great deal. Beer selection is good, I think, though I only drink Budweiser so I don't care that much. They do have a lot of space in the back and some alley seating as well, which is nice. Generally have the game on, which I rather appreciate.

Boy Meets Food

Great drinks and decent bar food. The mozzarella sticks were disappointing, but the chili was great!

John Tuffin

Good pub that is close to enough to the BART station to wait out rush hour. A good assortment of local brews and the food is not bad either. I had the fish and chips and really enjoyed the meal

Jennifer Andrews

Very nice atmosphere. I recommend the chicken sandwich with garlic fries. The garlic fries are excellent and are made with fresh chopped garlic.

Really liked the onion soup - full of cheese on top and a rich taste - salty but sweet. Crème brûlée is also a highlight, very crispy on the top and not too sweet. The main was okay. The restaurant itself is a little old, their sofa has cracks on the surface making sitting there a little uncomfortable. The server was also not very available - we sat for ~20mins before the server came to our table to get our order, and they had to separate drink and food order due to restaurant being too busy despite we were ready to order both. Then he got our bill wrong and charged 1 extra item..

Disappointed not a proper full pint of Guinness is available, unlike other Irish Bars within the area... although on the wa it states that it is a full pint. Bar tender was friendly.
