Six Generations
of Proper Pints
Six generations of Murphys have poured pints behind this bar. What started as Seán Murphy's dream in 1852 has become a Cork institution—where locals bring visitors, where celebrations happen, and where you're never just a customer.
"Still family-owned. Still pouring the same stout."
