Great location on east coast with plenty of parking. Been here a few times.

Juicy beef burger but could do with better quality fries.

Do note that dogs are no longer allowed anymore unless in the past. My dog would get a doggie bowl of iced water while we enjoy our beer.

Good beach pub ambience, relaxed and non-pretentious. Decent beers (wish for more microbrews, though) and food is surprisingly good pub food. And the people-watching is superb. Recommended after a visit to the East Coast park.

I go here quite often with the family. The adults like the Strongbow cider and the kids like the variety of snacks and children's food and also the fact that they can wander off fairly safely and play (provided they don't get run over by cyclists and bladers!).

The menu is quite extensive and includes salads, burgers, fry-ups and snacks but also some more substantial meals too (such as roast beef). Most things we've eaten here have been good apart from, ironically, the Irish Stew (as it is an Irish themed bar). The meat in the stew was tough and not very palatable and I didn't think it was good value for money. The trouble with things like this is that I'm now reluctant to try it again so if it happened to be an off day and it is usually fine, then I'll no doubt never know.

I'd describe the general feeling of Scruffy's as casual dining. There's nothing too fancy on the menu and you wouldn't go there particularly dressed up because it isn't that kind of place. They do have a variety of seating though including an air conditioned lounge so if you did go wearing your fancy new suit, you could sit in there!

Always on the lookout for a good Western/American style breakfast fry-up, I decided to try the Big Breakfast at this beach-front pub-restaurant on a Sunday morning. Note though that Scruffy Murphy's only serves all-day breakfast on weekends and PHs. At $10.50, it came with canadian back bacon, baked beans, button mushrooms, eggs, toast, and what I think are English sausages. An invaluable breakfast tip: if the menu doesn't say you can choose between sunny-side up or scrambled eggs, stick with the default and don't be a smart aleck and request for specials! The eggs here(which I requested to be scrambled) were insipid and uninspiring, and the rest of the meal turned out to be rather salty and greasy.

A big-minus for this place: coffee, which you've to order separately, came at $4.50 a cup! For this price, you'd think they'll at least give you free-flow coffee, but no. Well the saving grace for this place would be no GST and service charge, and the rather relaxing ambience (this IS East Coast after all). Scruffy's excellent location next to the walkway beside Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf also makes for a good people-watching experience. Service-wise, cheerful and informal. Will I come back? Probably not for breakfast, although this place looks good for a pint or two in the evenings after work.

sunblessed after a long walk by the beach (in the company of my makan buddy-JWNY), sick-nified by the industrialized sea horizon, thirst was getting grip on my tongue & throat.

spotted the irish pub, located near the eatery cluster, hence decided to grab a seat, reward ourselves with a pint of kilkenny each. nothing like an ice cold draught, by the beach.

noticed the wall mounted LCD tv on the inside featuring rugby on cable. i guess would be quite befitting for sports lovers who've preference to catch a game on screen while chilling over booze & a meal.

cheers to st.pat's day~!
