Murphy's Bleachers Review

My favorite place to grab some drinks before a Cubs game!

Pricey but food was good and atmosphere was friendly.

Awesome place for locals & tourist. Friendly environment & great food. Can't wait to go back.

Great place full of tradition with our boys in blue. Located across from Wrigley Field, Murphy's Bleachers offer fair which feels like a game day, every day. The pricing is a little high, but you are paying for the experience!

Great spot to pregame especially if you're sitting in the bleachers.

This place is necessary to my survival after a rough day at work

Good weekday deals when the Cubs are away. A little slow on service, but there were only two bartenders and the actual bar was full and majority of high tops. Sat outside for 5 min with no service after letting the bartender know we were out there, so we went inside.

Best service of my life... fairly priced, and it was great company. Matt and Pat made our entire vacation. Delicious BLT (add the chicken tenders). Can't go wrong with the grape bombs.

Local tavern right across the street from Wrigley Field you can't not go see what the locals do and where they go friendly atmosphere local cheers to them.

Everyone knows Murphy's. It is the closest bar to the bleacher entrance, so...

Classic Wrigleyville sports bar. We were there before a Cubs game so the place was packed. I stood 3 deep at the bar for 20 minutes to try to order a beer but gave up and left

I would never drink at this bar. Especially after making something comical about Pearl Harbor and all the lives lost.

I was pretty disappointed with the way this bar handled the World Series events and some of their staff.

We waited in line for about an hour to get in the morning of Game 3, and then the door guy stopped letting people in completely because they were "over-capacity." However, even though they were "over-capacity" and there was no cover charge to get in, the door guy let about 30 of his friends in and let people in who offered him money. This same employee then looked at all of us waiting and said something like "they don't pay me enough here to not accept bribes."

So, after waiting in line for two and a half hours, we eventually get in. Everything went well until about 6-7 hours later after the second inning - several employees started walking through the bar and tried kicking myself and all of my friends out because the fire marshal said they were over-capacity. While I appreciate the work of the fire marshal and the safety of everyone inside, the whole problem could've been avoided if the bar had taken more responsibility, particularly of its staff.

It's disappointing that some of this bar's staff takes public safety only so far as the cash in their pocket, and then tried to cover for it hours later by kicking people out who had already spent hundreds on drinks and food. This irresponsibility means I will probably never return to this bar again, even for a regular season game.

Guy charged me 50 bucks to park there for roughly 10 minutes.

Nice place to connect with friends for a drink before the Cubs game.

Great neighborhood bar when the Cubs are not playing. Good food and good service.

Awesome atmosphere especially after the CUBBIES won the WORLD SERIES!!

I have been going in there for years, they give me good beer for three dollars. Charming staff.

they took my friend s drink and refuse to buy back. not good, bad customer service

Great drinks and food!!!! Only a few feet away from Wrigley Field, the "Mecca" of all baseball stadiums

Go Cubs! Always an enjoyable time at Murphy's. If you are around for a Cubs Game this is my #1 go to.

Great time. One took a star away due to ridiculously sticky floors.

Love this place. Kelly is a great bartender and was willing to put on the football games that our group was trying to watch. They also have amazing food. Thank you for the great experience and I always love coming back here.

One of the best experience ever...Drinking a lot of beer and having food while watching the cubs chicago vs the marlens miami...the crowd cheering...

I liked their local beer, and the place seems cool, but it has a very narrow selection of beers on tap, no AC space and it's a bit expensive

Authentic experience -- gotta go here before or after a game at Wrigley field

Great local bar. Where they treat a visitor like a neighbor. Thanks for everything. I will be back. Jim McHugh

Great service and good foods, pet friendly also A+++

Overpriced Beer. Just because it's across the street from Wrigley Field? There is nothing about this place that would want me to go back.

Great place to take in some Cub fan spirit and ambiance. It was PACKED after the game...shoulder to shoulder

First timers, but going back to see Tigers play on our Nation's Birthday!

Bar has a fun atmosphere, nice patio, and the Cubs won. A 12oz can of Old Style was $7.

Great location in such a historical area. Great beer selection with food options. Bartender at the time seemed like they were having a bad day and seemed pretty annoyed, but otherwise, decent atmosphere.

They've been coming here for years, the service is always on point and great bar food, pet friendly and I got plenty of patio seating All that we're missing now is the Cubs games!!

Love Murphy's Bleachers. It is located behind Right field of Wrigley Field, right across from the very creepy Harry Caray statue.

The food is pretty good here and they have good drink specials. Local lore says Eddie Vedder shows up occasionally, but I haven't run into him.

Great place to watch a game!

Cool place, great old school atmosphere, cold beer! Can't go wrong here.

Went for a Sunday game and stopped by for a few pre game drinks. Staff was friendly and service was quick which was nice. Of course it was crowded but I expected that. Next game is definitely going to have a pre game gathering at Murphy's

Do not park across the street from the bar!!

They "rent the lot" but allow the Lincoln towing company to tow people there all the time. No sign that says Murphy's parking only. The tow truck sits behind the restaurant and waits. Not good for visitors to Wrigley!!

Cool place to have a few drinks before catching a game at Wrigley.

went there after the game and had a great time- friendly bartenders and great atmosphere

Have been here once on a non-game day, and it was obviously dead inside. Still thought it was a great location and atmosphere. Got a chance to go to my first Cubs game last weekend (I live in Ohio), and went here after the game. GREAT place. Yes, it was slightly crowded, but we stood out on the patio area which wasn't too bad. Will definitely go back. Beers a little pricey ($6 for a 16 oz domestic draft), but can't beat the location for after the game. I'm used to Columbus Ohio prices where you can get a 22oz draft for $4 at most bars and restaurants in the suburbs. Still giving it 5 stars.

I went there and drank alcohol and paid them money for it and that was cool, thanks Murphy's

Historic atmosphere, steps from Wrigley field. Food was amazing

Love the atmosphere of this place even when there's no baseball. Good bar food and okay selection of drinks

Great place to meet great people and have amazing time watching the amazing Iowa State crush it on the field

Good, clean fun place to chill before games and concerts. Now family friendly and has a good craft beer menu.

The people are super nice and the beer selection is impressive

Playing bingo on away games is the best way to spend a night in Wrigleyville

Great before or after a Cubs game. Take a walk around to see lots of Cubs memorabilia.

It's exactly what you'd expect of the bar just outside the bleachers, if you don't understand what that means, then you probably won't like it.

Nothing like walking into an empty bar at 7pm on a Saturday night and the bartender rolls her eyes because she might have to talk to a customer. A lot better options to spend your money. Good luck until baseball season

Great atmosphere! Above average bar food. Love Freddy, the GM!

Killer Roast beef! Great neighborhood bar right next to Wrigley!

A classic bar in a great location. Its usually pretty busy and the beer you get will be overpriced and maybe skunked though. Expect to get either a can or a plastic cup.

Best ribs I've had in forever...the server brought me 4 samples of draught because I wasn't sure what I wanted...great food great beer and great service all for a great price...I'll be coming back everytime I'm in Chicago!

Visting from New Jersey. Staff super friendly. Gave us a tour of the rooftop. Local selection of beer were incredible!

Great place to watch the Cubs! There is a ISU flag in there, they need a Hawkeye flag!

Pub very close to Wrigley stadium, Cubs fans. They serve fast food, we ate hamburgers and chips ... average quality. The staff is friendly enough and pets are allowed in the room. Characteristic place, it's worth taking a trip just to have a beer.

Cool place to hang out across Wrigley, it's crowded but you can still get your drink order quickly.

Chris Tufts...aka the bestest beer connoisseur...thinks this place is the bestest of all bars in the chi town area

Mainstay chicago joint. Decent beer selection, not great though could improve on that. Good food, and really good pizza, under rated actually. All good.

Great atmosphere after a Cubs game! Service was good considering the crowd. Menu was tipacle pub
