Forget celebrity sightings in Manhattan. One of Hollywood’s most recognizable faces decided to take his talents north of the city for a Halloween surprise — and apparently, he wasn’t just stopping in for a quick pint.
Bill Murray was spotted behind the bar at Rory Dolan’s in Yonkers on Halloween, where the actor reportedly poured Guinness for patrons, giving Westchester locals a celebrity encounter worthy of its own movie scene.
The sighting was shared by Lohud, which highlighted a handful of recent celebrity appearances around Westchester County. But Murray’s visit might be the hardest one to top. After all, how often does a Hollywood legend end up on the other side of the bar pouring your beer?
Bill Murray Trades Hollywood for an Irish Pub
Rory Dolan’s, a popular Yonkers Irish pub, provided the setting for the unexpected appearance. Known for its lively atmosphere, drinks and neighborhood crowd, the bar clearly had a Halloween guest who wasn’t on the usual reservation list.
Murray, whose famously unpredictable public appearances have become part of his charm, appeared to be enjoying himself behind the taps. And judging by the photo, he looked perfectly comfortable in his temporary bartender role.
Whether patrons recognized him immediately or needed a second look, it’s safe to say this was not your average Halloween night out.
Westchester’s Celebrity Sightings Keep Coming
Murray wasn’t the only familiar face making the rounds locally. The Lohud post also mentioned Jennifer Lopez at Coffee Unique in Bronxville and basketball star Jalen Brunson at Laughing Horse Coffee in Harrison, where he was making a November 5 debut on Law & Order: SVU.
Still, Murray pouring Guinness at Rory Dolan’s is the kind of neighborhood moment that deserves a toast.
In Westchester, apparently, you don’t need a Hollywood premiere to bump into a star. Sometimes you just need to order a pint.
