I started cooking for legacy, culture and honoring the ones who came before me. Soon, @twjohns and I will be taking over the current @pintsandunion to tell stories, honor my family’s namesake and continue building a community in the work we’ve been doing since we met a decade ago. Murray’s Creole Pub will be opening this fall, be on the look out for more details coming soon. We want to thank you to the team at Pints for all of the work they’ve done to build this third space in the Highlands. We’ll continue to push the mission.
After your shift and before dinner happy hour belongs to you.
$2 oysters, rummy gummies, duck nuggets and fries make a happy meal, and mini martinis.
Happy hour. 4:00–5:30. Weekdays only.
Shrimp and Spanish rice
Red shrimp served over Spanish rice with smoked tomato and olive
Rooted in Spanish Creole culture, this dish shares deep ties with paella. What we know as paella comes from a long lineage of one pot rice dishes such as jambalaya, perloo, and Charleston red rice. The tradition traveled from Spain to South Louisiana, where Creole cooks embraced it and made it their own
Coal Grilled Daube- Princeton beef belly, whipped potatoes, black garlic glaze, Demi glacé, spiced apples
Daube is a dish that is disappearing through shifts in eating and cooking traditions throughout Louisiana and the South. A dish with roots in Provençal our version takes a modern approach and we grill it over Japanese charcoal after braising overnight and glaze it with a black garlic tare. This is literal oral history.
The citrus salad has quickly become a crowd favorite. Frisée, radicchio, and shaved fennel are layered with citrus supremes, candied pecans, and @capriolegoatcheese , then finished with a bright sorghum ginger dressing. The combination feels like the first hint of spring
We built it small on purpose.
The people who figured out early already have their table.
The room doesn’t get any bigger.

After a hiatus the chicken tikka masala is coming back this coming Tuesday. On Tuesdays we’ll start having rotating curries at the pub with a vegetarian/ vegan option always available. Served with cucumber salad, st Landry parish rice and butter roti.
Upstairs is opening.
A quieter room. A slower pace. A different kind of evening from the downstairs pub atmosphere.

An experience built in courses, conversation, and rhythm. Choose between a 3 or 5 course progression.

Creole cooking has always been shaped by acceptance of new cultures. As one of America’s great port cities, New Orleans has consistently enjoyed early reception of new ideas that weave their way into the kitchen.
Curry Crab Rice reflects that spirit: Gulf crab, global spice, and the bayou’s deep rice tradition layered into something unmistakably Creole.
Now on the menu.
The understated all-star of our cocktail menu is our house tonic.
Built with fresh citrus, lemongrass, rosehip, and lime leaf, it’s bright, aromatic, and quietly ties the whole menu together.
Tonic originally started as preventative medicine used to protect against malaria. Over time it was sweetened and brightened with citrus, evolving into the tonic we know today.
We think it plays well with just about everything @westendgin dry sherry, @mezcalvago , or even @campariofficial . Come see what your favorite version is.
Shrimp Yakamein has been one of chefs signature dishes for the past few years. We brought it to Murray’s to continue the story of the iconic dish also known as Old Sober. This dish is meant to sober you up before heading home after a night out.
Shrimp sausage, fresh spaghetti, Louisiana chili crisp and shrimp broth get topped with a jammy egg to add richness.
Coffee and chicory have been part of Creole kitchens for generations. Deep, bitter, and unmistakably New Orleans.
We build on that tradition with a cocktail that leans all the way in.
House chicory cold brew is layered with chicory liqueur, @rollingforkrum Pampas Zorro Overproof, and the high-ester punch of @planterayrum OFTD. A touch of Creole shrub brightens the edges before it’s finished with a flash of flame and Angostura whip.
Dark, bitter, citrus-bright, and a little dangerous.
The Creole Coffee.
