Murph's Irondequoit Pub

Murph's Irondequoit Pub is a neighborhood pub in the Town of Irondequoit, Rochester, NY, founded in May 2004 by husband-and-wife team Dan "Murph" and Cathie Murphy. The pub originally operated on Titus Avenue for fifteen years before relocating to its current home in Stutson Bridge Plaza in July 2019. After Dan Murphy's passing in August 2021, the business has continued under the ownership of Cathie Murphy, Matthew Murphy, and Jana Schweigert. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 4 p.m. to midnight, the pub serves as a gathering spot for Irondequoit residents looking for live music and casual pub fare.

The menu at Murph's Irondequoit Pub centers on classic American pub food with a few regional staples:

• Wings – Jumbo and boneless options with more than eighteen sauce varieties, ranging from mild to their hottest option, Deathwish, plus specialty flavors like Honey Cajun and Maple Bourbon Bacon
• Burgers, wraps, and sandwiches – Including a Reuben and a Philly cheesesteak
• Weekly specials – Taco Tuesday, a Friday fish fry (a longstanding Upstate New York tradition), and crab cake dinners
• Appetizers – Nachos, loaded fries and tots, quesadillas, fried ravioli, and pretzel sticks

The bar carries an assortment of draft and packaged beers with a rotating craft selection, house cocktails such as margaritas and old fashioneds, and wine by the glass.

Murph's Irondequoit Pub has operated as a live music venue since its early days on Titus Avenue, offering free performances multiple nights a week. The pub's wing menu, with its deep roster of house-made sauces, and its Friday fish fry have become fixtures for regulars over more than two decades in business. The pub has maintained its identity as a family-run neighborhood spot through its relocation and ownership transition.

Murph's Irondequoit Pub sits inside Stutson Bridge Plaza at 155 Pattonwood Drive, near the corner of Pattonwood Drive and Thomas Avenue in Irondequoit, NY 14617. The plaza, named for the former Stutson Street Bridge (now replaced by the O'Rorke Memorial Bridge), is located across from Shumway Marine along the Irondequoit Bay corridor. The shopping center provides on-site parking. Irondequoit is a residential suburb just north of the City of Rochester, and the pub draws from the surrounding neighborhood community.
