Sunday Lunch at Scruffy Murphy’s, Bangkok – A Proper Comfort Stop
After a busy stretch of travel and settling back into the rhythm of Bangkok, today’s trip up to Scruffy Murphy’s turned out to be exactly the kind of stop you appreciate when you want something familiar, filling, and done well.
Set right in the heart of the city’s Sukhumvit area, Scruffy Murphy’s has that classic Irish pub feel the moment you walk in—dark wood, relaxed lighting, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to switch off from the noise outside. For anyone who’s been on the road for a while, it’s the sort of place where you can reset, grab a proper meal, and just enjoy the moment.
We headed in for what I’d call a proper Sunday dinner, and it absolutely delivered. The food was hearty, generous, and clearly made with comfort in mind. This wasn’t just a quick plate to fill a gap—it was the kind of meal that reminds you of home-style pub cooking. Good portion sizes, well presented, and most importantly, it tasted spot on.
What stood out just as much as the food was the atmosphere. Even on a Sunday, there was a nice steady buzz—relaxed but lively enough to feel like you were somewhere popular for all the right reasons. It’s the sort of venue where you’ll see a mix of expats, travellers, and locals, all there for the same reason: dependable food and an easy-going place to spend an hour or two.
Service was solid as well—friendly, efficient, and without any fuss. When you’re travelling, that kind of straightforward experience goes a long way.
Overall, today’s visit to Scruffy Murphy’s was exactly what was needed after the journey and the last couple of busy days in Bangkok. A proper Sunday meal, a comfortable setting, and a reminder that sometimes the simplest stops on a trip end up being the most satisfying.
If you’re in Bangkok and fancy a break from the heat and the street food scene for a moment, Scruffy Murphy’s is definitely one of those reliable spots where you know you’ll get a good plate of food and a relaxed atmosphere to go with it.
