H.Murray's Amsterdam in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

Small nice pub with very friendly people and great service

In regards to the previous review left by ignorant americans, I am the bartender in question. I am not scottish I am Danish and Bosnian Serbian. I kindly explained why we don't do "irish car bomb" shots as we are irish owned and we respect the irish who died in their fight for freedom and everyone Irish who have lost someone in the troubles (where over 4.000 people died and almost 50.00 were injured - but I know some Americans struggle with understanding history, even when it is politely and simply explained). When one of them snickered, I explained that ordering a car bomb in an irish bar is as offensive as ordering a 9/11 in an american bar. These costumers smiled, said okay, stayed for a second round, seemed happy and never asked clarifying questions. These Americans clearly don't know their history. Instead of asking questions they left a comically wrong review. We support the irish and that is exactly why we don't make irish car bombs. It could have easily been cleared up. If you say "up the RA" in you review you really should know not to order a carbomb? Try going to Ireland and ordering an 'irish car bomb", let me know how it goes. Ignorance is tragically funny sometimes. - Kind regards, the Danish/Bosnian Serbian bartender with Irish owners, irish boyfriend, irish friends, irish colleagues and regulars, who wrote her thesis on Irish resistance during the troubles and played rebel songs while you were in the bar :)

Walked in, tried to order a drink and got lectured by the Scottish bartender about how it’s an offensive name for a drink. She immediately compared it to 9/11, an event where nearly 3000 people died to a series of events over 30 years where 300 people died. Maybe if her ancestors didn’t colonize an island they had no business being in the first place it never would’ve happened. Up the RA!

Absolutely lovely little bar with a great selection of whiskeys and a nice range of beers on tap. They do a decent Guinness. Sven the bartender is always very friendly and professional, would definitely recommend H.Murrays!

I have to say this Pub is my new favourite. I’m recommending you give it a visit.. the staff Sven and Luna were exceptional … entertaining, fun and professional. 10/10. Looking forward to my next visit. Stay cool guys.

Great bartender, great drinks, great atmosphere. Nothing more to say. Try the Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour.

Very cozy cafe Celebrated reunion with other KLM employees Lovely cafe

Local drinks, nice beers including the Guiness.

Quality service and an absolutely fantastic playlist

Delicious beer. Good service. Strange smell.

This was our favorite bar in Amsterdam! Shout out to Esther, welove you! She made that gorgeous bar so special for us with her hospitality and warmth. I rang the bell and bought a round! So much fun. We would always come back to see her and have a drink catch up on the day. Just the best!

Super nice bar to chill for a drink

Loved this bar! Just what we were looking for and around the corner from our hotel. Staff were very friendly and the service was great.

Went on a Guinness tast test pub crawl 10/10 best I had all evening. The staff was nice and weren’t lying about having the best pints

Gran lugar. Sven y Luna son increíbles. Dejó un teléfono allí y lo tenían esperando por nosotros - propina bien. ¡Se lo merecen! Muy divertido.

Like this place, Personel is very friendly, very good place for a drink

Had a wonderful experience all the staff were friendly and welcoming. They have the best Guinness, G&T and whisky sours cosy atmosphere great music. Our little go to place in Amsterdam felt like home from home.

Cute place to enjoy your drink. The most amazing barmaid ever. Girl you rock! 😊

Muy bonito pub de cerveza en la proximidad de la estación de tren Centraal. Anno 1619 lo dice todo. Buena selección de cervezas. Cervezas muy poderosas de Bélgica. Beber estos con precaución 6 . 5 en adelante te hará bailar.

It is a cozy bar. With the super friendly bartender Ness! 💯

Dropped in here as we're in town and fancied a drink in a bar without eating. We love this place. Peaches was a delight to meet. 🐾Chatted to Brian (owner). Great talk about all things Guinness and beyond. Guinness is in excellent form. Cosy Irish bar in the heart of the City. Highly recommended. Beautifully adorned with breweriana and a brilliant selection of whiskeys. A must visit in the City. Wish we'd found it earlier. G

We enjoyed our time in the pub, extremely friendly waitress, as well as a good selection of beer and whiskey. It's a small and quiet place in a very busy town where you can enjoy a positive vibe. Hidden gem in Amsterdam

Lovely little place. Came alone, as a total stranger, and thanks to a great waitress Luna immediately felt warm and welcome. It turned into long and cheery evening.

Very cool and atmospheric bar. Rest assured that the atmosphere and bartender will complement your evening. We thank the bartender working on November 4, 2024 for his friendliness and ability to make a delicious sour cocktail 🤘🏼

Highly recommended!! It’s a great bar to have some whiskeys/beer/cocktails. Luna helped us very well! Other pubs are noisy and hectic, but this is a great place for couples or friends to come and have a drink with moderate noise and a good atmosphere. No food!

Good bar, nice bartender/owner and a cozy place. I don't know who was working on 3 november.... it she couldn't manage, there was enough space for 8 more people..... tables for 2 where empty and we with 4 had no seats.... bad experience..... if the owner is there it's better

It's a very small bar, but a lovely vibe in there. The Irish bartender was friendly and welcoming. He had to change the barrel for my first one, which he happily did and then brought over to me. I got a nice seat by the window and drank a few beers while my wife accompanied me with her soft drinks.

Great place with a great bartender. If you are looking for a place with an Irish pub vibe, you should come here.

This place is incredible thanks to Luna, she is a lovely girl who is there all the time to make your time in this area of ​​Amsterdam even better, thank you for everything!!

Absolutely the best irish bar in Amsterdam 🤩🤩 The vibe of the place is very comfy and the service as well. The owner has great suggestions about the drinks on the list and she is very friendly! Would absolutely recommend to anyone in the area

Great Irish pub with a very friendly bartender who knows her job, gives great tips on whiskey and creates a feel-good atmosphere that is second to none.

It's my favorite spot when I came to the central station. My favorite tap beer is the Red-distinct ale. Very kind and fully experienced staff are welcomeing visitors who love beer, whiskey, etc.

The best service in Amsterdam by amazing person Luna Asistent restaurant manager Lily Country Club Norway Milan

Super place as well as a bartender you can chat to, the vibe is also mega. I will definitely come back here when I'm in Amsterdam.

I had a very nice cocktail and the ambiance and atmosphere was very nice. The staff was also very attentive. Be sure to come to this sweet place

An absolutely unique experience: a haven of calm in a city that never sleeps. A real pub, with a warm atmosphere.

Mysig bar beläget på trevlig plats. Trevlig personal. Baren var liten men blev alldeles lagom för oss förbipasserande ölsugna.

A quiet place to drink a beer and chill in a crowded city. Good drinks/beers, nice staff, nice mood :D

Whiskey and beer are excellent, the bartenders are friendly and very attentive and also appreciate a guest. The recommendation for Whisk(e)y met my expectations. When I'm back in Amsterdam I'll be happy to come back.

Only the essentials in this fine pub. No food only good times, with good people.

My favourite Irish pub in Amsterdam

Wonderful pub with good beers and service and very friendly people. Plus as a bonus very cute dog there sometimes

Lovely little Irish pub with great atmosphere - staff and regulars friendly and welcoming and the Guinness there travelled exceptionally well. Had a great time here on a layover between flights and really wished we could have stayed longer! Thanks to the bartender and regulars for their stories (and to Peaches, the bartender’s dog, for being so cute and friendly!!). Looking forward to coming back!

Nice and surprisingly quiet place.

Awesome little irish pub in central Amsterdam, looking for whiskey, rye, scotch (the selection is amazing) or a pint it is perfect 👌

Lovely little bar and the staff we're very friendly

Was here with 3 lads. Cool little pub with a welcoming atmosphere. The waitress was very friendly and good craic. Good guinness.

Cool place for great whiskey! Service was top notch!

A great bar, very good and abundant beers, attentive and fast waiters and a very good, very familiar atmosphere.

As many others said.. brilliant. The perfect little bar for a nice drink. None of the crazy you don’t want, and all the good things like amazing staff, great selection of beer and other drinks (crystal goblets for your Gin!) Good tunes, tasty decor, perfect. It’d be my local if I could live here.

This was.a fantastic bar. The bartender was lovely to our group, giving great recommendations and serving up one of the best Guinness's I've had outside of Ireland. I would absolutely recommend this bar to anyone looking for a drink near Amsterdam Centraal Station.

Incredible atmosphere. Exceptional stuff.

Swen is so kind! The bacon fries are my favourite

Please don’t stand behind the guys counter, he just insulted our friend and observed drinking behind the bar. Insulted in such a way that he would call the cops for just standing behind the counter and doing nothing. If guests are insulted in this manner I highly recommend to avoid this place. I doubt if the guy speaks to his women at home.

Excellent vibe, great aperol spritz

Fint litet krypin med en intim känsla. Helt okej priser för en pint Guinness. Minus för att det stod en massa tomglas precis utanför toaletten.

Atmospheric place, I liked it 🥰 You know that you should drink Guinness in Irish pubs?😉

Great pub, amazing guinness, cute dog. Would recommend highly

Visited Murray’s every day whilst in Amsterdam. Fantastic bar staff, amazing gin and great atmosphere! One of our favourite places in Amsterdam

A relaxed bar with excellent service. Excepcional barmaid.

I was greeted the moment i walked in by the solo barman, maybe owner. It’s small and friendly with a great whiskey selection. The guy on the bar was great (and Irish).

Very good value for money for a gin and tonic. A very large selection. The service is very nice. Thank you

Nice atmosphere, nice bar people (:

Nice vibe and amazing service! A lovely drink in a warm environment that wasn't too crowded that we could just have a sit, listen to music and talk.

Quiet place, with good music to have a few beers. The waitress is very kind and friendly

This place was incredible. Our bartender Steven was attentive and full of cocktail ideas. I would recommend anyone coming to Amsterdam gives this place a visit as it is a must visit .

the best place to enjoy a drink after visiting oldtown. nice and friendly staff.

Great Irish pub with an amazing whisky selection

Space gins, excellent beer, great connoisseur of whiskey!!!

Very cool bar with a good selection of whisky.

Very atmospheric, authentic bar. With excellent service

Lovely Bar in the centre of Amsterdam. It was not very crowded and the atmosphere in the bar was very welcoming. Peaches is the barkeepers dog, who of course is the main character and makes the bar feeling even nicer.

Great feel to the place, amazing selection of whiskey from everywhere, and a generally intriguing selection of spirits overall. The location was in the mix, but on the fringe, so perfect for a quick or longer stop.

Cozy whiskey bar, where the server can explain and suggest from hundreds of different whiskeys. And they have great wine and beer, too!

We just visited this bar to try a new Whiskey, and we loved it. The whiskey collection aside, which was incredible, the Bartender was a super friendly and wonderful man who shared his experience with us and suggested a unique whiskey based on our interests and preferences. The suggested whisky was TOP-NOTCH ...!! We'll definitely come back for new experiences. (Ps. The music was a little loud, so everyone had to speak louder and louder at some point)

I had the misfortunate to visit this establishment on Thursday 26th October 2023 when Villa were playing in the Europa Conference in AZ Alkmarr. After calling several male friends into the bar who all purchased a couple of pints (who would not have gone into the pub without me calling them). Also talking to a fellow Villa fan from the Midlands who sat by me and purchased many drinks. Although I had purchased a brandy and 2 other drinks I was asked to leave asthe bar tenderer (manager) wanted to have more free spending customers in my seat. I was then left alone in a strange city on my own late at night to wait over an hour for my friend to return from the match. As a lady in her seventies who was still recovering from a broken hip I found this behaviour particularly uncaring and disgusting. I would warn anyone whom the bartender (manager) feels does not spend enough money would be in danger of being thrown out. I would point out I have never been treated anything lie this before.

Pub très sympa et atypique. Je recommande fortement ! Le serveur était génial. 😊

Very welcoming atmosphere! Bartender Luna is on top of her game, makes sure everyone is having a great time and knows what she is doing! Very professional! 😍

Sehr gemütliche Bar und sehr netter Service☺️ auch der Cocktail war sehr lecker, kann ich nur empfehlen!

Super Bedienung, Whisky Expertise der besten Art und super Ambiente

No food is served here, its just a traditional pub!! The barman was very friendly and knew lots of local information which help plan our trip. The service in the bar was impeccable. The range of drinks was out of this world. If I return, I'll be back.

Good guiness and very welcoming staff.

It's not easy to find a good old fashioned, or even a good bourbon here. H. Murray's has a huge selection of bourbons and makes a great old fashioned.

Sehr nette Kneipe in zentraler Lage - gutes Bier. Oh, und ein wirklich sehr freundlicher Hund, der alle Gäste begrüßt. Wir kommen wieder!

Great wee pub in the heart of Amsterdam!

Great selection of whisky, tasting glasses and great atmosphere.

Super low key underrated bar with excellent vibe. We stumbled onto this joint after half a day of drinking and had a great couple rounds of continuation drinks. The inside is cozy and comfortable. Would recommend to come drink in the afternoon when it’s quiet.

Very nice pub, with great atmosphere and very friendly people. Nice beers and nice moments and memories spent there!

Laura and bibi were excellent 👌 prices are good and plenty of selection.

Sehr netter Barkeeper, super Atmosphäre!

best bar ever go steeeeeveeeee love miri<3

Relaxing atmosphere tucked off a main street in Amsterdam. Bartender is warm and welcoming making you feel at home. Great selection of local beers and hundreds of different whiskeys.

Der Besitzer oder Bedienung.. Hammer. Einfach toll. Der Mann spricht alle mögliche Sprachen, ist nett, bemüht und top drauf. Hat Spaß gemacht

Great Pub with, I $hit you not, THE BEST host in Amsterdam

Eine absolute MUSS Location in Amsterdam. Ein toller Wohlfühlort! Danke für den großartigen Service, Steve!

The atmosphere is excellent. Steve, the bar tender is funny, welcoming and knowledgeable. Had a great time there in my short visit to Amsterdam, it's well worth a visit.

Excelente para cervecear por Amsterdam 👏🏽

The best bartender we found in amsterdam. Nieuwebrug Steeg 15. Steve is so friendly and of very good advice to make you discover excellent whiskeys. You’ll find a vast selection of whiskeys, excellent beers!!!and we’re expecting to go back there soon!!!
