Scruffy Murphys

Scruffy Murphy's is a proper Irish-style pub tucked just off the main Blackpool buzz — the kind of place that feels a bit more tucked-in and characterful once you step inside. Think wooden booths, live music, and that steady hum of conversation that builds into a full singalong as the night goes on. It leans into its Irish roots with regular live music, a jukebox, and a friendly, sociable atmosphere that pulls people in and keeps them there.

Food is part of the draw too, with home-cooked options and classic pub comfort dishes ticking along alongside the drinks.

It's right near the Winter Gardens and town centre, making it an easy detour during a day out — but once you're in, it feels like its own little pocket of noise, warmth, and organised chaos in the best way. Dogs slot into that naturally, settling in while everything carries on around them.
