One of my absolute favorite bars on the East Side.
This place is flat out fun. Â Great music, awesome TV's for watching sports, great beer prices on the weekend in the afternoon and friendly bartenders.
RP's is the home for SEC Football in Cincinnati. Â Stop on by and they'll get your game on for you. Â Go Dawgs!
A much nicer and larger bar than I expected. The place is clean and full of interesting movie and other entertainment memoribilia. The bartender was friendly and the beer selection is large enough for me. They can also serve smaller glasses which makes sampling the different beers easier. As Kara boldly proclaims, there is free popcorn which I didn't realize until I was leaving, probably for the best, as I eat that stuff like its my last meal.
Parking might be tricky in this area on a busy night so plan accordingly. They often have live bands performing which can involve a cover charge... boo! I'll have to return in the warmer months to try out the patio.
I don't have the best review for this place, as I came here after midnight to have a few beers with a coworker while we complained about our other coworkers. It served as a good venue for this, but then again any bar would work for that.
I stuck to the front bar, actually, I mostly stuck to my barstool, but once I got up and went to the restroom, I realized the bar was a lot bigger than I initially believed. I feel like once you found the good nights to go here, this place would be cool.
The crowd that I saw was interesting; there was a couple of people you'd expect to see in a dive bar and then there were a couple of upper-class looking Hyde Park girls. Not sure if this is typical, but it was an interesting combination.
I'd have to go on a busier night to get a complete impression, but that was a dead night for you.
RP McMurphy's Bar & Pub is a great local bar without too much flash.
It's highest appeal falls during the warmer months, as it has a patio wrapped around it.
RP's McMurphy's is also home to, what is probably, the most popular happy hour in ALL of Cincinnati -- "Mug Club" (or "Mug Night")...a Wednesday-only special where patrons can buy, and bring back weekly, a little colored mug for $2 or $3 refills on any of their beers. For some reason, this promo along attracts a lot of people. On summer nights for this particular happy hour -- the bar can be 'at capacity' by 9pm.
The average age demographic is usually 21-31 on Wednesdays, and skews slightly older (23-35) on weekends. Regardless of age, it is undoubtedly a great place to gather with friends in the Hyde Park area, regardless of your 'taste' in bars.
I've only been here once so far, but I loved just about everything about it -- the live band was very good, the bartenders many and attentive, the drinks strong and reasonable priced, a huge outdoor area and beautiful inside decor. Not to mention a prime location in the Hyde Park and Oakley areas, if you're in for a night of bar hopping. There seemed to be just enough street parking in the neighborhoods adjacent and it was free. But there's a $3 cover to get in the bar during prime hours.
Review Source:R.P. McMurphy's is one of my favorite bars around Cincinnati. Not a dive like The E but not pretentious either.
The bartenders are friendly and efficient. Their "jukebox" has pretty much anything you would (or wouldn't) want to hear and that's no joke. Our group has played everything from La Douche (excuse me, La Bouche) to Linda Rondstadt.
They have decent beers on tap (they've been known to carry BarrelHouse!) and great booze on-hand.
Their patio and deck are pretty fancy no matter if it's sunny or snowy. And they allow puppies on their patio! Which is only a good thing if you like puppies, I guess. And it can get more than a little packed on a Friday or Saturday evening so expect a crowd. Weekday afternoons at R.P.'s were always my favorite time to go (unfortunately, relocation=no afternoons at R.P.'s).
All in all, R.P.'s is just a really good neighborhood bar. I've always felt more at home here than the other Irish pub down the street (I think you know what I'm talking about). So, get away from a world that's driving you plumb crazy and belly up to the bar at R.P.'s.
This is such a great place to go to grab a few drinks with friends. What you see in this bar is exactly what you get. A small great bar & a great outdoor area, and that's pretty much it. There is nothing super special about RP's, they just stay true to the basics of what makes a good bar: good liquor selection, good beer selection and good staff. I would definitely suggest sitting outside if it's a nice day, they even have TVs outside if that's your thing.
They also have Purple Haze on tap...gotta love it.
Free popcorn! Â Do I need to say anything else? Â Well, okay I will.
RP's is a casual bar that is not pretentious at all. Â It has a nice patio with televisions outside, which is pretty cool. Â It can get quite crowded on weekend nights but never feels unbearable. Â There's also an upstairs that is usually less crowded and allows you to people-watch from above, if you find that fun. Â
Sometimes there is a cover on the weekend, which I find to be slightly annoying but not enough to deter me from visiting. Â It is usually only $3 and they seem to only charge it when there is a band playing. Â The bands have always been decent and from a variety of music genres. Â Parking can be very difficult as their lot is basically non-existent. Sometimes I won't go there if the weather is bad because I don't want to walk that far. Â If the weather is nice though, RP's is worth the walk!
I love RPs. So homey, friendly, and inviting. The staff actually know who you are if you frequent the bar. The free popcorn is awesome. And the live weekend bands make this spot hoppin. You might been see bar manager Bryan bust some dance moves. If Bryan is working ask for his signature banana shot.
Review Source:How does this place not have more reviews!?! Â I love it!
My Minnesota girl and I came here last night for some Vikings action and beer/food. Â The Vikings lost unfortunately, but really, Brett just isn't himself this year. Â Probably b/c he's old. Â Even with Randy Moss. Â And ever since Jared Allen cut off his mullet ... ANYWAY, right, the bar.
Despite the disappointing game, I love love LOVE that they have these great tv's outside! Â The weather was perfect and we enjoyed a couple of beers and some food from next door. Â The food was nothing-fancy bar food - I had the chicken sandwich and she had the cheeseburger. Â The fries were pretty good. Â I gobbled that up like whoa.
But what totally makes this bar is those tv's outside! Â I don't know why I'm so obsessed with it but sitting outside and watching tv makes me incredibly happy! Â
Will be back as long as the weather stays nice. Â And even when I have to bundle up a bit. Â Definitely a fan.
