“It’s many years since Angela Murphy designed and completely refitted The Poet’s corner, including it’s wooden interior. We were delighted with everything, it has worked successfully since and it seems to improve with age. The best compliment I could give is that the design was ageless and is as inviting today as when it was first done.”

“We’ve been running The Dubliner Hotel and Irish Pub in Heidelberg since taking it over back in 2004, and it’s been a great journey ever since. The place has held up really well over the years—layout, atmosphere, services—and most importantly, our customers still love it. The footfall has stayed strong, which says a lot. We actually only got in touch with Angela a few years ago and, funny enough, we haven’t even met in person yet. Despite that, she’s been incredibly helpful and supportive when we gave it a bit of a refresh recently, after all these years is all it really needed. Like a good wine, the pub improves with age. Angela and her crew from Ireland did a superb job all those years ago. We’re genuinely happy with the work and are proud to keep this little slice of Dublin alive and well here in Heidelberg.”

‘’Over 30 years ago, Angela Murphy managed to preserve the heart of O’Loclainn’s while giving it a design that’s stood the test of time. Her work carried the pub’s identity forward, and it still resonates with patrons today’’.

“I would like to say that working with you was a pleasure. The Durango project, The lrish Embassy turned out to be a wonderful and beautiful pub and is definitely a part of authentic Ireland in far flung Colorado.  From inception to completion your design and advices were exemplary and professional. You were always available to deal with builders queries as they arose even if they were slow and hesitant at times to grasp those little particularities that make a real Irish Pub that bit special.As you know, we plan a major overhaul of our pub in Clare and your sketch designs to date reflect just what we want. We look forward to going ahead with you soon.”

“What can I say about the best Irish pub designer in the world.  The design you did was second to none incorporating great use of floor space and traditional design features. I have reviewed many Irish pub designs.  And nobody even comes close to Angela and a nicer person to do business with you will not find.”

“Angela is truly unique among her peers. There are few people in her field that have the understanding of what an Irish pub really is and have the talent to translate that into design. Proof of the pudding – 28 years later, our pub in Laytown has stood the test of time and is thriving. Customers old and new love its ‘feel’ and the atmosphere Angela created.”

“Angela was amazing at designing a pub here in the Wicklow hills that really fits into the landscape. Customers often compliment how unique and beautiful the design is. We will forever be grateful to Angela for her ideas, design and advice on making it a successful family business for over a hundred years.”

“We transformed a traditional Swiss farmhouse in Reinach into an Irish pub and restaurant in 2012. From our very first conversation, Angela understood our vision and delivered a design that made good use of the space, creating a warm, inviting pub environment that’s been thriving ever since. The AM Design team brought it all to life with beautifully restored Irish shop fittings and a vintage shop front that perfectly complements the character of the building. We couldn’t be happier—it’s everything we hoped for and more. It also seems to improve with age.”

In 2006 construction commenced on our three star, bedroom hotel in the beautiful village of Glengariff. As the village already had two hotels and four public bars it was the utmost importance that our hotel bar restaurant should be attractive to both tourists and locals.

On behalf of Flynn Hotels, Angela Murphy Design Associates Limited, designed the refurbishment of Kytelers Inn, Neros Night Club, The Old Ground Hotel and the Park Hotel.
We were very pleased with the professional approach of Angela Murphy Design Associates Limited from the initial contact, through to the design concept, including the attention to detail and the standard of finish. The project team was hard working, polite and the project was completed on time. The design concept at all the properties have met with our customers’ approval and we believe they have led to a significant return on investment. The Kytelers Inn, Kilkenny won the Black & White pub of the year, where it was designed by Angela Murphy Design Associates. I would have no hesitation in recommending Angela Murphy Design Associates Limited for future work.
