Günther Murphy's Irish Pub - Munich

The best night to go to Murphy's - other than the night of a football match and or a Tuesday Toytown after work beer - is Sunday's karaoke night. Now, I don't like either karaoke or Gunter Murphy's much, but it's the only game in town on Sundays. It's VERY popular, and you will have fun despite yourself. . . so many people singing and laughing, often at themselves. Their homemade chips are also yummy, but I'm a potato-addic.

I can vouch for the Sunday nite karaoke. I used to work there back in ninety-six or so. Every sunday at about 9:30 "johnny from texas" had to perform "rawhide", the so-called "johnny-spot." After a few weeks and lots of liquor, I must confess I really enjoyed it. If Ultan or Grant or any of the other veterans are around, send my regards. Johnny from Texas

I have to say that I like Günther Murphy's rather too much - it gets pretty busy, especially for karaoke and football games, but is normally just about the right level of busy, especially if you show up early enough to get a good table. Food is not too bad either - prices are a touch on the high side for Munich, but you can at least drink proper Helles in this ex-pat bar, and listen to some good tunes as they have one of the better music selections in Munich. Bar staff and waitresses are all very good at their jobs, and very friendly... I've been to most of the ex-pat places in Munich, and this is my favourite.

Murphys, dreadful place, overpriced beer and rude barstaff. One of the worst bars in munich. If it didnt have Football on it'd never survive, never....

Best bar staff in Munich by a mile. Superb place.

They now have WLAN internet installed. Free to use. Available to all (not just AOL users).

Gunther Murphys is the best bar in munich. I spent the whole of my wage packet each month in there when i was working in munich.

Price reductions! Price for a Helles is now €2.90, thus cracking the €3 mark for the first time since the introduction of the Euro. We have just concluded a new and improved deal with Hacker Pschorr, Erdinger Weißbier & Scottish & Newcastle (Strongbow cider). The net result is a large reduction in our beer prices. Cheers!

Yeh, i agree with that Alan. Worst pub in Munich & the bar staff r very rude.......... especially that Wrigley bloke ! Ha ha. Can i have a pint u piss? Ju. Bowton !

Oh i..... PS. Wrigs if Katrina or Louise ever come in let me know......... Phil has been askin, ha ha.

nice beer

Which Phil? I'll be in on Sat though

The best bar ever the girls are the craziest and the coolest and verry good looking you got the tall nice ass german the luanatic blond blue eyed irish, the pretty face and loud austrian and the big hands! brazilian the dont fuck with me south african bird you will just love em all.

I am in Munich this weekend will you have the Bolton - Chelsea game on ?

gr8 4 the liverpool games n the grub. staff r too egar

Great atmosphere when Murphy's showed the F.A. Cup final Man U. vs Arsenal. Love the big screen and beer :-)

I agree with gaz - I spent far too much of my wage packet when I worked in munich last year - lots of good memories to show for it altho not much else!(apart from a bigger belly...) Almost had withdrawal symptoms when had to leave! Han

was there for football, the ita vs. roi game landed on the smallet TV facing the bar so the barmen could see it. I wasn't so happy with that, but what ever. The fact that the three onion rings were the best part of my burger is the reason that I won't be going back. The food at Kilians is much better and they serve Augustiner wich is by far better than the Hacker wich allways leaves my gut crook.

That price reduction on beer didn't last too long. What happened to the new improved deals with Hacker-Pschorr, Erdinger Weißbier & Scottish & Newcastle? Can't you guys get the same deal on the beers that the little German pub around the corner of my place gets. Helles there is only €2,70!!

maybe thier overheads are a little bigger than the little german bar near your house...........

A DUMP!!!!!!

Thanks for your intelligent and constructive comment.

must admit it's the last irish pub I'd go to in munich the beer isn't great and I always feel I'm being overcharged which apparently is an accusation that has been levelled at this pub for a long time the other irish pubs in munich are better

I practically lived in Murphy's (along with Gaz, assuming it's the same Gaz) back in 2002/03. There was just something about it that made me feel at home there, even though I've never had a local bar. Ever (and Murphy's wasn't exactly local to me... damn 20 minute U-Bahn journey). Like any place it was the people and we got to know a lot of people there. It helps being the first ones in when they open, I guess. Took a trip back only a week ago and was surprised to find the beer cheaper. Hurray!

USA is now ranked 5th by FIFA. Anyone else planning on watching them trounce Germany on the 22nd? New in town. Would like to meet other expats in the area. English/German speaking. Thanks!

I would like to say to anon 11th march to reveal yourself, you sound like the biggest asshole as you might not have noticed but murphys is cheaper or the same prices as other irish bars in Munchen. Also your paying for the great service as its the best out of all the other irish bars and the cleanest glasses, at least they have a glass washing maching! in which i dont get cold sores from. So DVD "Dick Van Dike" go suck on yer pint elsewhere cause i sure would not like to meet you. xxx

Wow - trounce Germany. I am on board for that (strictly speaking of football, of course).

I'm a newbie ... what's the easiest way to find the TT crowd on a Tuesday night? cheers

Once we get past all the silly soccer this summer, will yous guys show REAL (AMERICAN) FOOTBALL this fall on Sunday nights live? Cheers!

When we get pass all the soccer this summer, I think I will not be going Guenther for some time... no interest for the so called REAL football...

I can't really understand why anyone would 'live in' an Oirish bar in Munich (Do you holiday on the Costa Del Sol, too?), but Guenthers used to do a cracking cooked breakfast back in the mid 90s, does it still? Cheers

You live in an Irish bar in Munich whenever your own bedsit is ridiculously tiny and you want to socialise with your Anglophone friends and watch some football. I did go elsewhere too. Murphy's was just the living room. I give it four sofas, and maybe even a coffee table.

What a spot. Locked there every night while in DL

Murphy's pub is excelent you should guys come at afternoon around 7pm, this is a good atmosfere expecialy for chillin.I am living near and I always gladly come to Murphy's.I like staff there they will always find time to answer question and they are polite.

Where is the hot blond waitress?

Would that be real football with all the padding and stuff.Brits do the same called rugby with no protection!!!!!

dis "real football" is notin but rugby for sissies!!!!! and where is de blond waitress gone?????

What's the best news I've heard in a long time? Günther Murphy's Irish Pub has now closed forever. Yippee! I hope y'all commit suicide on hearing the bad news.

Sorry the place is closing; judging from all the feedback it sounds as though it's going to be sorely missed by many.

I found the pub the just a big shit hole. Full stop

It is true. The old gear from Wok Man was seen heading down the Gunthers stairs yesterday evening. The best quality chinese in Germany is coming back.

we are shocked that murphys is closed down, we loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!

worked there back in 2005 quit and went to kilian's best move ever!shocked to hear it's gone.least kilian's still going...

i was there in 2007, too many assholes thinking they were tough.

i work here along time ago .made alot of friends but people move on and you lose touch would like to get hold of my parther in crime steve lace and his sexy friend soibahn paddy on andybarrow@hotmail.co.uk cheers

I used to drink in GM'S 4 or 5 times a week back in 92-93. My girlfriend at time was a waitress there. I remember Andy and Andre on Steve? on door. I'm back in Munich this year and gutted it's now closed although I did pop by in 96 and it was a lot quieter than its hayday. Happy memories.

was planning a wk end return to munich soon, was the 1st place i was going tohead for. spend 2 years in the place and 2yrs salary too a shock that it closed 93-95 hearing all the old names bring back so many memories, ultan graham, memory fade.... steve andy andre , someone missing from that line up.... ? andy you stuck me with a stun gun one night, just to see if it wood go through a leather jacket, funny man !!!! Used called me "MO" alawys at the corner of the bar under the telly with mick monaghan see ya

Ain't no doubt - was a cracking bar at a time. Was there in 02-03. Waitresses were the ticket, esp Frieda and.... that's it. Hotest bird in town for a long while. Alan the fool that tried to manage the bar was a complete root token. Thought he was the big wagon - but at 2 foot tall, he'll not be messing with much. Good drink, and food, good for footy and karoke. But once da Frieda bird left - what's the point. Big GAZ, keep the faith - sure you're married now.

Well Well Well....GUNTHER MURPHY'S.....what memories....I'm gonna throw out a few names here and anyone get in contact if you can....I've seen my buddy Eugene aka MO on here thank flip for that searching for you for a while....Ok i was there in 93/95....so here goes with the old familiar names....get in touch Claire Hughes, Shauna Donnelly (australian)...Leah, Mark Spark, moscow andy, (oh i see black andy's here too yay) graham,mick monaghan bth of em, dublin eddie, mark rea, sid, if ye come accross this message me lads we had some crazy times in GM and mo i was there when the lads stun guned u aaaaaaaahahahaha funny!!.....no need to explain further... last words have got to be "PLEASE BE QUIET N THE STREET THANKYOU"
