Welcome to Murphy's Taproom & Carriage House, in Bedford, New Hampshire. You're invited to try the creative cuisine of Executive Chef Todd Lytle and his team, from Lamb Osso Buco to Waygu Shepherd's Pie. Our Bistro Filet is a local favorite. All of our ingredients are brought in fresh, and many are sourced from local farms. Even the honey for our Hot Honey Salmon comes from a beekeeper in nearby Derry. Besides our large outdoor patio, our restaurant features several private dining rooms for your special occasions, as well as our 300-seat Carriage House. We have 32 craft beers on draft, a wide selection of bourbons and scotches, and a seasonally-rotating cocktail menu. Thank you for reserving your table at our locally-owned, family-operated restaurant and function facility.

The food was over priced for what we got. The sirloin was tough and over cooked. Not worth the $45 at all. The waiter was very kind but not great. Instead of walking to the side of the table we were sitting at he chose to lean across. Unfortunately he spilled steak juice all over my husband’s white coat and on my husband’s lap. In the fluster after we were brought the check without being offered dessert or anything else. I would go back for a sandwich but not for the cost of the dinner menu.

We dined here with friends on New Year’s Eve. Drinks were amazing- Toffee Old Fashioned is a must. We ordered apps- bacon wrapped scallops and garlic knot bruschetta. Both were good, but small for the price. Our dinner was delicious- ordered the short rib and the chicken and waffles. Both were generously portioned. Noise level was on par with a busy restaurant on NYE. We will definitely be back.
