For 14 years, Murphy’s Grand Irish Pub in Alexandria has been a gathering place for New England Patriots fans, drawing on the pub’s connection to Ireland and Ireland’s connection to Boston, where the Patriots have their home field. With the Patriots facing off against the New York Giants in the Super Bowl, this Sunday is sure to be busy. Kenny Mitchell, the bar’s manager, will be in the thick of it, serving up Boston clam chowder, oyster stew and brews.
