The first of the Gaelic Inns pubs, Muddy Murphy’s remains an icon in the heart of the city. Located at the lower ground floor of Orchard Hotel Shopping Arcade, Muddy’s comprises an openair “farm yard” and an air-conditioned traditional 1840’s Irish cottage pub indoors. The interiors were designed and built in Dublin before being shipped over to Singapore in six containers and re-assembled on-site by Irish pub specialists.

The authentically Irish Muddy Murphy’s became an instant hit and has since garnered a strong following of regulars, visitors and anyone looking for a perfect pint of Guinness. Hearty Irish cuisine satisfies the most voracious appetites while the impressive selection of lager, ale, cider and stout on tap keeps any beer connoisseur in good spirits. Sunday Roasts, live music, big screen sports and festive celebrations ensure that, in true Irish fashion, there is never a dull moment at Muddy Murphy’s!

A quainter, quieter option, Ballymoons caters more to the white collar crowd for after-work drinks or a laidback nightcap. The Irish theme is still obvious, but with a degree of class which is nicely balanced with a warm, accommodating atmosphere that any pub pilgrim will appreciate. Alcoholic offerings include Gaelic Inns’ signature draught beer selection as well as an extensive list of premium malt whiskies, hand crafted cocktails and a wide range of spirits.

Scruffy Murphy’s Irish Cafe-Pub is a cosy Irish seaside cottage by the calm shores of Singapore’s East Coast. Scruffy’s has been serving up great food and drinks since 2005, and is well known for the quality and variety of its home-cooked food, and of course the friendly service from its staff.

The outdoor beer garden is light, airy and casual and surrounded by the natural greenery of the East Coast Park, Singapore’s most popular weekend playground. The cottage-styled main bar is cool and shady, and there is an air-conditioned lounge, The Hideaway, towards the rear of the bar which is ideal for private functions.

With the beach in the background and a fresh sea breeze blowing, Scruffy Murphy’s is the perfect venue for relaxing with friends or family, enjoying the good food, ice cold draught beer, and of course the sea view.

The newest addition to the Gaelic Inns family is Durty Nelly’s – a more contemporary Irish-themed pub with many traditional features and bric-abrac. The colours used, however, give the pub a more modern feel.

The pub’s prime location in the Marina Bay area makes it very popular not only with young, urban professionals working in the surrounding area, but also with visitors staying at the many five star hotels close by.

Durty Nelly’s boasts a wide selection of draught beers with eight international beers on tap, and a traditional menu of fine Irish fare. These are complemented by live music every Thursday and Friday night, and big screen sports viewing.

Making our way from Ireland to England, The Penny Black, located in the heart of Boat Quay, is a true London pub experience. A beautiful Victorianstyled pub, it was built in the same way as Muddy Murphy’s and Durty Nelly’s – constructed in London, before being shipped here and reassembled.

The riverfront seating area provides the perfect setting for ‘al fresco’ drinks, whilst inside on the air-conditioned ground floor of the pub a wonderfully authentic Victorian London tavern has been re-created. The second floor ‘Snug Bar’ atop The Penny Black provides a comfortable setting for informal lunches or cosy private parties, and is still surrounded by the same warm London pub ambience.

Home ground for Newcastle United supporters, The Penny Black combines all the sights, sounds, atmosphere and ambience of a proper English pub. Where better to enjoy a pint of Strongbow Cider with Fish and Chips, complete with mushy peas?

With a nod of approval from the local, expat and tourist drinking public, Gaelic Inns delivers authentic Irish and English pub experiences where everyone feels right at home.
