About Murphy's Pub
Murphy's Pub is an Irish-themed sports bar on Sheridan Street in Cairns City. The room is fitted with dark timber, green tiles and a long bar, with Guinness on tap and live sport on big screens. The pub offers two function options. Full Venue hire gives a private group of up to 80 the whole pub, including the bar areas and the screens. Partial Venue hire suits smaller parties of up to 40 in a semi-private area. Your group keeps its own space while staying close to the sport, music and atmosphere of the main bar. Food for functions comes as share platters, such as sticky stout chicken wings, mini beef and Guinness pies, an Aussie party platter, a seafood platter, a vegetarian platter and a yum cha selection. The kitchen can cater for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets. Drinks run on standard, premium or deluxe packages of two to four hours, and a cocktail on arrival or a spirit upgrade can be added. A bar tab with a set limit or a cash bar are the other options. You are welcome to bring a cake with no cakeage fee, and tidy decorations are fine. The pub has wheelchair access, street parking and a shared car park next door.

Excellent pub ! Guinness was excellent, super cold and great price ($12.50 a pint !!). Plenty of seating, and TVs for watching live sport. Had the corn beef sandwich and it was delicious. Definitely recommend
