About Murphys

Murphys pairs traditional Irish pub warmth with an airy multi-level rooftop framing wide views of the city and Corio Bay. Downstairs centres around pints of draught Guinness, live music, a roaring winter fireplace, and a lively pool room. Head upstairs, and the space opens up to open-air tables primed for celebratory gatherings and relaxed afternoon jugs. Regulars count on the kitchen for hearty bangers and mash alongside loaded parmas, backed by serious allergen care that includes dedicated fryers for coeliac diners and custom plates prepared without fuss. The kitchen sends out generous serves of salt and pepper calamari and crisp chips straight to breezy rooftop tables.

  • Rooftop Views & Sunlit Decks: Multi-level decks and indoor spaces offer sweeping city and bay vistas for group celebrations and casual drinks.
  • Dedicated Allergy Care: Staff and chefs actively cater to coeliac dining and severe allergies with separate fryer oil and custom menu modifications.
  • Traditional Irish Pub Atmosphere: A classic downstairs pub feel complete with draught Guinness, live tunes, pool tables, darts, and a winter fireplace.
