I found Murphy’s through a recommendation of a friend and a review from a local magazine. My mother recently passed away, and it was a great place to hang out, given the grief that I was and am facing. I also am a history buff, and I appreciated the bar’s regional significance during Prohibition. Heather was nice, and at first, Robb was nice. I was always polite to the staff and fellow patrons, and I tipped the staff when leaving .

My favorite bar, I tell everyone about it. Great bartenders, darts and shuffleboard. What else could you want?
One of the last local basement bars . Been here for generations. A local icon. Darts or shuffle board anyone?
Band a bit too loud, but attentive, personal service and cold beer! Worth a visit... And stay a bit!
The only good part about coming to New Jersey and visiting my in-laws.
