On Halloween night, longtime entertainer Bill Murray was spotted behind the bar at Rory Dolan’s Restaurant & Bar in Yonkers, New York. The 76‑year‑old actor, known for his work on Saturday Night Live and a string of acclaimed films, took a hands‑on approach, pouring a three‑part pint of Guinness for eager customers.
Owner Rory Dolan said Murray arrived on his own, dressed in a black outfit with a navy‑blue vest over a long‑sleeved shirt. “He was very gracious, chatting with everyone and even posing for photos,” Dolan recalled. “He seemed genuinely interested in the Irish culture after his recent show in Ireland, and he wanted to experience the bar scene firsthand.”
Fans and celebrations
The bar was bustling that evening, also hosting a 90th‑birthday celebration for another patron. “The crowd was full, and Bill was loving the atmosphere,” Dolan added. He noted that other celebrities, such as Pierce Brosnan, have visited the establishment in the past.
Murray on fame
In his new docuseries A Course Called Ireland, Murray reflected on the challenges of fame, stating, “In a word, no—it’s not easy.” He explained that being recognized can bring joy, but also acknowledges that he is “not very pleasant” in the spotlight, preferring authenticity over a polished public image.
Despite his candid remarks, Murray expressed gratitude for the goodwill he receives from fans, noting that meeting them helps him stay grounded. The docuseries, now streaming on Paramount+, follows Murray and author Tom Coyne as they travel across Ireland, playing golf and visiting family and local personalities.
