Scruffy Murphy's opened in December 2017 as the Bangkok outpost of a brand born in Phuket in 2001, and the Soi 23 version wasted no time making its mark. Within its first year of trading, the Irish-owned and Irish-operated pub claimed the Irish Pubs Global Award for best Irish whiskey experience in Asia, the Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. That trophy did not arrive by accident. The whiskey list is the heart of the offer. Popular classics such as Jameson and Tullamore Dew sit alongside boutique labels including Teeling's, Pogues, and the West Cork series. Selected single-malt and small-batch distilleries from Ireland round out a collection that holds its own against any specialist whiskey bar in the city. Food earns equal weight here. The kitchen runs a genuine Irish menu from morning through evening. Order the Ulster Fry to start the day, move to braised beef and Guinness stew when the evening cools, and finish with homemade bread and butter pudding. Guinness and Kilkenny both pour on tap; Magners cider runs both on tap and in bottles. When the kitchen quiets, four nights of live music take over. Wednesday brings Ladies Night with Dhimpz and Co from 7 pm. Lee Shamrock performs every Thursday and Friday from 8 pm. Sunday afternoons see Dhimpz and Jay on stage from 5 pm. GAA, Irish Rugby, and international fixtures run across multiple big screens with surround sound, so game-day crowds fill the room early and stay late. The pub sits at 10/1 Soi Sukhumvit 23, a short walk from both Asok BTS and Sukhumvit MRT. Built for anyone who values the craft of a properly poured pint alongside a kitchen that takes Irish food seriously.","our_take":"The brand traces its roots to Phuket in 2001, but the Bangkok chapter that matters is here on Soi 23. Guinness and Kilkenny pour on tap, Magners cider flows, and the whiskey back bar spans Jameson and Tullamore Dew all the way to boutique labels like Teeling's, Pogues, and the West Cork series. Live music runs four nights a week. Sport fills every screen.","custom_description":null,"hook":"Scruffy Murphy's on Sukhumvit Soi 23 is Irish-owned, opened in December 2017, and in its very first year took home the Irish Pubs Global Award for best Irish whiskey experience across Asia, the Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.
