Murphy's Bleachers, a family-owned establishment in Wrigleyville, has been a beloved fixture for nearly 80 years, serving local craft beers and an award-winning menu. Originating post-prohibition as Ernie's Bleachers, it transformed into a legendary sports bar under Chicago Police Detective Jim Murphy, who revolutionized the neighborhood and sports memorabilia collection.

Known as one of America's premier sports bars, Murphy's Bleachers offers a vibrant atmosphere for Cubs fans and community gatherings. With options for private parties and engaging events like Pub Trivia Night, it continues to be a must-visit destination for both locals and visitors alike.
