Had many a visit to this establishment and if i manage to get in then i get kicked out a couple of hours later if im hammered or not.Was interresting to hear that there was a man that took on the challenge of one of those bouncers and actually gave him a good pastin and then ran off not too be seen again...shame.

Without a doubt one of the worst bars in Sydney. Dirty, dark and disgusting. Staff are absolutely terrible, management and security even worse. Downstairs open very late but again, really dirty and smokey. Unless you are REALLY stuck for a bar, don't bother. Try Jacksons on George for a late night venue, or P.J.O'Brien's for a real Irish Pub

it was alright, actually it was pretty boring, i liked the downstairs area more than the top even though the seats were ripped. we finally had enough and decided to go somewhere else, its not exactly the most happening place in sydney, atleast you get in for free.

Be careful, the kebabs next door are great but sometimes they put shaved turd in your kebab coz drunken larger louts can't taste the difference.

Irish 'theme' pub with little charm. Drink OK but the smell is a bit ripe around the place. A backpackers haunt.

Like all Irish new timers i too did my apprenticeship here. However after about two weeks I deciced I wanted to bomb the place - drunk irish people wearing G.A.A shirts that they would never wear at home singing rebel songs that they don't know the words to, talking about Ireland. Pretty Krusty too.

Well said my good friend Anna, i couldn't have put it better myself! Scruffy Murphys is the best bar in Sydney by a long shot and the bar men rock, especially one very special bar man who knows who he is!!!! We miss you scruffys (our home away from home!) LOVE YA.xxxxxxxxxx

Anna from Manchester
If you dont have fun in the scruffiness of murphies you either dont have a pulse or you are a complete tit who doesnt know how to party hard and have fun, anyone who has had the pleasure of visiting the vinegar smelling pub will no doubt go back at the end of the night and stay there till 8 in the morn-if not later! Thumbs up from me scruffs.....but that may have something to do with one particular cute bar guy!! So sew me!!!! Love u scruffys x

sticky floors, u walk in and beer is automatically spilled all over you.. but if u dont have fun in here, u better stay home and watch tv, cuz u are one boring bastard.. great place for a good time at the end of the night, dont expect to sit there sippin wine, thats not what fun is about

Lance Driver from Pyrmont
Very over-rated late late night drunking hole. No need to use the dunnies coz the floor smells like the right spot. If you like late closing, very crowded, drunken cheese dancing joints then it's perfect for you. You may get lucky with a band. Yes, the best thing about it is that it's next door to the best late night kebab shop in Sydney. Yummo!

Fat Bastard from Scotland
This place is crap. It smellls worse that my arse which I haven't wiped in 5 years. If I'm in here drinkin I have to take a dump on the bar to cover up the unbearable smell, pheeeww!!

Sharpey from Oblivion
Some of these comments were very generous! If you like lining up in a crowded garbage tip this is the place for you!! And you've got a better chance of getter a beer quicker at the tip!! There is a good thing about this place though. When you leave you don't have to go far to find another pub.

From the moment you walk in....its packed with piss heads takes a while to get to the bar.......you get the odd good looker and well if a good band is on thats the only reason you hang in there. 2 / 10

Scruffys is a bucket. It's full of pissed rowdy Brits out for a shag. If you can't find the place follow your nose...it stinks.

Cherie from Sydney
If you're into your sexy Irish and your spunky poms, this is the place. If you come to Australia to avoid them, then it is not. Quick service, shitty dancers, people who dressed with the lights off (think ripped jeans and tucked in workshirts), and if you're approached by a patron make sure you wear a raincoat - these drunks spit and slur like there's no tomorrow. And downstairs the night club is the size of a matchbox. Only go here when you haven't picked up... here you're bound to.
17 Oct 2003

Anthony from Sydney
Absolutely awful. Very smelly, hot, crowded, rough, lots of annoying dickheads.The severly overpriced drinks are for Poms who don't know better. By contrast. the downstairs disco is usually near empty, mainly because the DJ plays the worst cheese imaginable from about 5 years ago. The fact that people line-up to get in on the weekend is beyond belief.

the best thing about Scruffy's is the kebab place next door

Scruffy's is basically the Aussie equivalent to Porky's. The "disco" downstairs is shameful - who the hell likes Eminem? Upstairs is more tolerable....but beware if a Celtic v. Rangers game is showing.

if you are the type of person who likes sticky floors, beer drenched seats, slow bar service, saliva swapping, watching people puke and getting kicked out for fighting then this place is just for you!! if you fit the bill you are a knobhead.

elana from sydney
This is one of my worst pubs. It is a meat market and the guys through themselves on any girl who walks through the door! and I mean ANY girl. The atmosphere is great though, full of energy but most people here seem to have dressed in the oldest/worst clothes. It really is a backpacker venue a place to pull! only recommended for desperados

The best place to get really thrashed and dance with irish dudes. The music is mainstream -- you'll know all the words. Great dancing downstairs, though it can get crowded. Nothing like Scruffy's in San Diego, California & I miss it!!
