A fiddle hangs on the wall above a rustic fireplace.  The room is dimly lit by lantern-style 
lamps.  Traditional folk musicians sit around a table serenading the patrons, taking breaks only to sip their whiskey or beer.  Futbol jerseys hang from the ceiling and rugby plays on flatscreen TVs.

Scruffy Murphy’s, located two blocks away from Coors Field, transports you to Eire just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.  Aside from the plethora of beers and whiskeys, the pub also offers traditional Irish bia beag 
(appetizers), ceapaire (sandwiches) and bia triadisiunta (traditional faire), as well as desserts.

As with any place that is primarily a bar, the menu selection is slim, but Scruffy Murphy’s does offer a small variety of dishes to choose from.  For those looking to try a traditional Irish dish, the pub’s shepherd’s pie is a good choice.  For those who are less adventurous and fond of American food, try the massive Craig’s Club sandwich with a side of crisps.  The mac and cheese entrée may draw the eye (influenced by a hungry stomach) of a timid eater, but restrain yourself; the bowl of under-cooked, barely-cheesy dish isn’t worth the $7.75 price tag it adorns.

Even if you’re not hungry — or thirsty for that matter — a visit to Scruffy Murphy’s is worth it.  With “Punk Rock Mondays,” as well as trivia on Wednesdays, an open mic session on Thursdays and live music during the weekends, the pub has something for everyone.
