Murphy's Pub — Restaurant in Cincinnati

I started hitch-hiking around the country for 4 years at the age of 14 yrs old 1971,and lived in many cities to stay and work for several months to save money and countine my journey. I was 17 yrs old when I made Cincinnati my home. Was at Fountain Square when the "Reds" won the world series in 1974. And Murphy's Pub was where I was at when I turned 18. I lived across the street and loved that bar. Some of my best memories during my 4 yrs and 35 states of travels are in that bar and the people I met and partied with. I'm from Va. Beach originally and I've only returned one time in 1984 for a few hours and the atmosphere was still great. I can only say, there is no other place I can think of that I'd rather had been in this world than Murphy's to have my first drink..........legally. In glad you're still open and would live to see it one more time. Unfortunately recently I was diagnosed with AML. It's a type of Leukemia with no cure, and as I was reflecting my teenage years and this was the place first thing that came to mind. Yet it was the last city I lived in during my hitch-hiking days. Love all the good...

Murphey’s Pub was a huge disappointment. My friend, who is 100% of age, was denied entry by the bouncer because her ID had a small crack in it. She explained that it cracked months ago when she accidentally sat on it, and she even provided multiple backup forms of identification — her insurance card, law school ID, and other documents clearly proving she’s over 21. Still, he refused to let her in.

Meanwhile, half of our school was already inside the bar, and she was unfairly singled out despite being completely legitimate. For a dive bar that’s supposed to be a fun spot for students, it was frustrating and embarrassing to have her turned away for something so unreasonable. Definitely left us with a negative impression, and we won’t be...

This is one cool pub. We don’t have many pubs like this back where I come from and it was a really cool experience. First off it’s got multiple sections. The first being just your general pub. The second being a back area with a lot more room. The third being an outside area connected to a hallway and the last being a pool area with another bar and some games up top. Plenty of space for your friends to find a spot and chill. It’s also one of the few bars I felt safe in. Drinks were cheaper than what I’m used too and the music selection was diverse and fun. I’d totally come back if I were ever to find my self in...
