Murphy's Pub

I used to come here a lot when I lived in the 'burbs and when I was going here it was fine; I never had any problems.  I went here yesterday and discovered it has changed to Chalk.  It is nicer on the inside, but my experience was sub par compared to the other times I have been there.   My friends and I were sitting at the bar, not the tables.  The bartender, not once, but twice took my drinks when I wasn't looking and threw them out.  He did the same to my friends.  I would understand if we barely had anything left, but on my first beer there was about 1/3 of a beer left (a pretty substantial amount) and on the second beer there was 1/2 a beer left (I said something the first time it happened, but the by the second time, I was beyond annoyed and just sucked it up).   Make sure you watch your drink or sit at the tables if you don't want to have your money thrown out.

Yup, average.  Busy, busy, busy though. I can't believe they only had one bathroom stall for the women! I hate when the lines get ridiculous, I actually can't comprehend why women can't pee, wipe, wash and get the f out! Anyways, I'm not here to review the bathroom, which was clean and pretty well stocked. :)

Given the madness of St. Patrick's day, the bartenders were on POINT that night. We never had to flag one of them down and they never messed up our orders.

I was surprised to find a decent size beer garden in the back, summer nights written all over it. Overall this place was A-OK.

I would have to say what I like about this place is the music when the DJ is spinning.  While doing my tour down Madison St. I like to come here and bust a move.  It's a pretty diverse crowd.
