Best Irish Car Bombs in town and a solid happy hour.

Very dirty, poor selection of beers, and the curly haired bouncer was incredibly rude to my stepdaughter upon entry (we’re from out of state, so he was attempting to prove her identification was fake, not allowing her in even though she is of age). They had her wait outside alone while it was late at night, totally disregarding her safety. The one positive that I have is that they were very affordable and had free hotdogs. However, she is definitely not coming back anytime soon.

I love this place always quality food & service. The service was very welcoming and sociable. They have so many reviews for a reason.

Well me and my Nepson when there after work and we got made fun of because we are inbred

I celebrated my PhD last night in this fine place. I am glad to say that we had a fantastic evening and the venue was surely one of the reasons for this strong evening. The stuff cooperated in a graceful way, the meals were yummy and my guests were very pleased. We shall absolutely visit again for more joyful events. Thank you very much.

Was not happy with the 20 percent gratuity especially after the bartender told my nephew after he had occurred over 50.00 on his tab. I lived and grown up in Clifton on Wheeler street and was very disappointed. The bartender should have told him that before hand. The drinks were Seagrams 7 and 7 which to me seemed weak. The only reason I gave it a 2 star is that the mens restroom was clean. I now live in Hamilton and will probably never go back to the place ever again.

Great local dive bar. Cheap drinks. Great staff. Always a great place to hang out. Ive been going to Murphys Pub for a long time now, and it looks the same that did 20 years ago. Longevity is something that a dive bar earns. Free parking next door. Always a welcome feeling going back to Murphys for some drinks.

Great dive bar with well priced drinks, fun staff, and a good atmosphere.

Great place for the young adults. I dont like that they hold your credit card hostage until youre ready to cash out. (They should be able to save the CC info in their POS and close the tab at any moment. )

Great bar and friendly staff. Mind your manners and youll have a great time. Saw some amazing bands here (Cheers to Tiger Sex!) and never left regretting entry.

Great bar and atmosphere, it is a little small up front, and even with the space in the back, the bar still feels cramped. But GREAT bar and would go again any time

Murphys is a fun place, and I love the free hot dogs. But they could really use a good cleaning of their draft lines, and maybe a few more beers on draft or in cans.

Cool place. Darts, billiards and outdoor area for smoking. Watch out for the owner Tom on the dart boards!

Great atmosphere and cheap drinks. this place never fails me

Best neighborhood Happy hour location. If youre from Cincinnati youre guaranteed to run into friends here, and if not, go enjoy cheap beer pitchers and well drinks along with free hot dogs and popcorn! Murphys is always an amazing time.

Place had great vibes and multiple rooms. Enjoyed it there

Intimate space, definitely caters to more the younger college crowd, but they have a good selection of craft beer. Dance floor and pool tables, but it can get too tight in there to shoot on a Saturday night. I need to go back earlier in the evening to check the vibe out then.

Amazing lively joyous exuberant authentic! Would spend all my nights there.

Affordable drinks, many dart boards (7?), Pool table, off street parking and great service!

Great local bar.

Its the best dive in Clifton. It is deceptively spacious. They have a tolerable clientele and very nice staff (shout out Leo & Dylan). Also free WiFi, hotdogs, & popcorn. Last, but not least, VERY affordable.

Great small dive bar with plenty of things to do.+ 2 bars, one in front, and one in the back section by the pool tables, with a dart board setup in between.+ Reasonably priced drinks, and not usually packed.+ Friendly neighborhood atmosphere

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 Murphys 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. Im from Va. Beach originally and Ive 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 Id rather had been in this world than Murphys to have my first drink..........legally. In glad youre still open and would live to see it one more time. Unfortunately recently I was diagnosed with AML. Its 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 people up there

Its pretty great compared to the typical college dive bars. Especially with comparatively cheap drinks and FREE real dart sets u can borrow to play. Pretty friendly and chill staff and a relaxed crowd.

The most awesome staff at a distinctive original location in which myself and my two sons and their friends enjoyed many beverages, pool darts and of course hotdogs and popcorn.

Fun place to hang out. Several different rooms to hang out. I played Singo for the first time ever. Its a bingo game with songs on the card instead of numbers. Music from several different genres.

Played the Dirty Thirty show, great venue, great bartenders!

Used to love coming here, but it seems like a bunch of country bumpkins hang there now. I played 1 lil Kim song and cleared out the whole bar! The staff is still super cool though

Love Murphys. This place is so weird and divey but in the best way possible.Drinks are insanely cheap and actually good its so weird I didnt not know how they do it. The staff is awesome and have always been on top of it.Dont even think about trying to get in if youre not 21 though they are very strict about it

Well the bar is so smallAnd the back was closed at midnight and they dont close till 230???? So no pool table unless u come before 11Dumb ruleOnly good thing was the bartender was an awesome guyDont know his name but very tall

Good service friendly crowd great place to get hammered lol

Truly my favorite bar, great time and good drinks. Specials make it ok on the wallet but watch the top shelf drinks

Quintessential college bar. This place is a lot bigger inside than it appears. Two dart areas, two bars, pool table, smoking patio, some seating, and best of all: FREE HOT DOGS!St Patricks day was very crowded. Great prices though.

This is a popular neighborhood bar for UC students. A dive but staff is pretty friendly. Two pool tables, darts, trivia night, free popcorn and hotdogs.

Casual. Super friendly staff. Definitely try the Jameson Green Tea shot!!

Great deals every day. Lots of room to sit and many dart boards and a pool table.

Kind of shabby and run down. Beer seemed warm and a bit stale. They may need to flush their CO2 lines. I had a headache after having a draft here.

Great atmosphere, service, specials and free hot dogs and popcorn.

Cheap drinks, good bartenders, free popcorn and hotdogs. Could I ask for anything more?

Murphys pub is a wonderful place to hang out, drink and play darts or pool. Great for college students, cheap prices.

Free hot dogs, popcorn and darts. This place is heaven. Dont come if you expect something high quality, with a relaxing getaway atmosphere, or windows. But its an excellent place to unwind after a tough week of engineering classes and you cant beat the prices. $1.50 long Islands on Monday and Wednesday is my personal favorite.

Great spot to chill and drink!

Service is prompt even when they are busy. The service here is attentive. The bill was average for the menu.

Great place to hang out and have fun excellent service

Clifton staple. Ultimate dive bar, trivia, pool, darts, karaoke, cheap drink specials, free popcorn, free hot dogs. What more could you ask for?

Awesome place to hang out with friends !

Good environment...service was alright...Ima be back

College was a long time ago, but this place hasnt changed at all.

Great staff, good atmosphere and plenty of space, and free popcorn and hotdogs!

Murphys is a great dive in the middle of Clifton Heights. Awesome hidden patio and free hot dogs and popcorn. What more could you ask for?

Its a little to small but its a laid back place with nice drinks, I love to come in there when its a waitress name Val she keeps a smile on your face and go up and beyond for the customers...A++ is what I rank it

Great service and decent staff

They have mastered the low-key bar experience. Pretty chill with great drink specials, but it also has a large area for darts and ANOTHER area for pool which also has a bar. This place is nationally recognized for a reason.

Free hot dogs cool pub vibeGrab a pint

Great college with prices you can’t beat. They have free hot dogs every night (Monday nights they have chili to go with them). The $1.50 LITs are a favorite. Even if I’m not drinking off the specials menu, it’s extremely affordable. P.S. the WiFi password is freehotdogs

Usually a great time. Ive been there many times with friends. The staff is cool with the exception of one of the bouncers. He obviously loves the pseudo-authority granted to him from his job. Cool place, just stay away from the tall, blonde, bouncer.

Its a bar but fun gimmick and lots of space.

Great place for drinks, but its usually a challenge to get a beer if it is semi-busy... Still go back though!

This place has free popcorn and hotdogs, bar games, and cheaply priced alcohol.Its usually not too crowded, except during Friday happy hour.The bar games include darts (free), a couple of arcade games, and a couple of pool tables. They also have chalk boards that my friends and I like to play hangman on.To get chalk or darts, you just have to ask a bartender.

Great owner very nice guy

I still dont understand how this is a real hole in the wall, this place is dope. Darts, free pool on Sunday, popcorn and hot dogs. Decent enough selection of alcohol and beer, not the best but enough to get you where you need to go. This bar has been a staple of the community for ages and you will find a range of the young to the old here. Not necessarily a college bar but they do congregate here often.

2 bars. 2 pool tables. Free hotdogs and popcorn for tipping customers. Nice bartenders. Outside patio.

Where every one knows your name

They have 2 bars, one in the back near the 2 pool tables and some arcade games. They also have lots of dart boards, and a little enclosed garden for smoking and hanging out outside while drinking. They also have free hotdogs and popcorn, which are only appealing if your drunk. Fun place to throw back a couple pitchers with friends and play some bar games.

So much fun and character!! What a blast....will return

Whats not to love. Great staff. Cheap drinks. Free hot dogs and popcorn. The layout is perfect. The backroom could almost be a second Murphys.

Hands-down the best bar in Clifton, and Cincinnatis best (and earliest) St. Patricks Day celebration. Relaxed atmosphere, free darts, good drinks. What else can you ask for?!

Loved their happy hour. Good bar with great service. Needs to fix their $10 credit card minimum though.

Great place to grab a drink. They always have drink specials and some sort of activity like trivia. They card at the door and do not accept fakes which means it attracts a mature college crowd of 21+ and even an older crowd. They have dartboards and pool tables, two bars and a pop a shot. If you want to have music, you have to pay for your songs through TouchTunes.

They have wings to die for and large selection on the menu. Great family place.

Free popcorn, free hotdogs Saturday night. Great drink prices all the time

Fun Dive Bar

Great for playing darts with some friends!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good drink prices! Decent mix of locals and college crowd.

This was my favorite bar to visit while I was at UC and I still make the effort to stop by every now and again. Beer selections is really good, although they have shifted towards craft beer from their Irish roots. They have darts and pool in the back bar as well as a decent patio.

Can you beat free hotdogs and cheap drinks? I dont think so!

I love this bar! Darts & free hot dogs. Staff is great.

Won a 100 bucks a trivia. Free hot dogs, popcorn and good fun

Great bar with a dive bar atmosphere. Free hot dogs every night, good drink specials, and a decent to good pool table.

Leo is the best bartender in town. Pool and darts in the back, 2 bars to choose from. Favorite bar in Clifton.

Absolutely awful customer service. I came in to celebrate my friends birthday and they ripped my corona light and lime out of my hand while I was walking out the front door to tell my friend that we were about to sing happy birthday to the birthday girl. They IDd me 3 times at the front door, which is understandable. But if you know for a fact that Im 21 and my friends are 21 I should be able to open the front door without having my beer ripped out of my hand. Go to macs instead if you are trying to celebrate. Im so disappointed.

Awesome place to spend your night out with friends! Free hot dogs and games with people always ready to play.

Best bar in the area by far

Very home-y and cozy.

This is a college dive bar that will be crowded on a weekend night when school is in session. If your ok with that then to enjoy the popcorn, free hot dogs, and cheap drinks with a game of pools or pop a shot

Great bar. Can be crowded at times, but the complimentary hotdogs and popcorn make up for it. Plenty of dart boards also

This place is great for old and young... Im 36 and felt right at home but after 8 pm i do feel out of place. Not because of service just cause of the patrons ...which are uc students

Favorite bar, great drink deals!

Free hot dogs, darts, and beer what more do you need

Good food and excellent prices

Love this place!!! Always have a great experience every time I visit.

Best dive bar in the area. Very cheap drinks, darts, pool. Attracts a mix of townies and the college crowd. Definition of a dive bar, but in the best way.

Great people and staff

Gem of a college dive bar. Im not at UC, but I often go to Murphys for trivia on Saturday night. Its super fun, tends to be pretty crowded, and they give away big prizes ($100 and $60 I bar tab to the first and second place teams, which youll never be able to spend because the prices are so cheap). Free fresh popcorn and hot dogs are a nice touch too. They have darts and a jukebox and a small outdoor patio, and two bars which cover the crowd pretty well, I never have to wait too long.

Ive patronized Murphys since 2003. It never changes. (Thats a good thing)

Nirvana played here in 89

We had a great time here...

Free hot dogs, popcorn, great drink specials, pool, jukeboxes, and darts. What more could you ask for. Best dive bar in Clifton!

Free hot dogs helps all those drunk folks out

Pool tables, dart boards, and two bars. One up front and one in the back. Happy hour deals are very good.
