If you’re looking for a unique fusion restaurant in New York, then look no further. Juan Murphy’s in Poughkeepsie fits the bill. This interesting and popular spot serves both Mexican and Irish cuisine and carries the tagline “Irish Pub, Mexican Grub,” which describes it perfectly.

Juan Murphy’s is an all-around great place to hang out and eat and drink. Read on to learn more.
Juan Murphy's is located at 796 Main Street in Arlington, which is a little east of Poughkeepsie proper, but which is part of Poughkeepsie by local standards.
This bar and restaurant is pleasant and welcoming. There's plenty of room to relax with family or friends. You'll find live music here several days a week, and the owners and operators often host other events as well, like game nights, darts, trivia, karaoke, and more.
In addition to all that, though, the food at Juan Murphy's is excellent. The menu includes a wide variety of Mexican dishes, like this burrito, to satisfy the "Juan" part of the establishment's name.
There are a number of tacos to choose from as well: grilled chicken, buffalo chicken, roasted pork, BBQ pork, brisket, steak, shrimp, and buffalo shrimp.
But, if you're not feeling like Mexican cuisine during your visit, you can also choose from the Irish dishes on Juan Murphy's menu instead. How about this shepherd's pie? Any Murphy would surely love it!
