The rest of this area is disgusting, but Scruffy's is still holding strong with great live music and drinks! I forgot I was on Bangla Road, We did not get harassed and the staff was great about not shoving drink promos in our face. Other bars on Bangla have the drink menu shoved in your face again before you have... More

Its big, it's relatively calm, and I didnt feel like anyone was trying to scam me or sell me a "massage" or try to get me to pay for them to spend the night with me, which made this a decent place to have a few drinks. The live music was a good touch, and it was more European then... More

I went there twice. The first time there's a live band and second time is an Irish style violin performance. I like the latter. The atmosphere is excellent and decent compared to other bars on pangla street. The alcohol is also great that I got drunk for the first time visit!!

This is my fifth time to phuket and scruffy Murphys was always a 'to go' spot for me.... Fantastic location, friendly service, cold beer, awesome food.... The food is still incredibly good but Unfortunately now the service is average at best (compared to the bars around it) but still friendly... However the killer is that even though they advertise the... More

My wife and I visited Patong when on holiday in Phuket and as it was St Patricks Day we went into Scruffy Murphys on the busy Bangla Road (a MUST visit place in Patong as it is buzzing...and mental!). Atmosphere was brilliant, my wife had fish and chips (massive portion sizes) and I had a chicken sandwich and fries -... More
