Iconic sports bar with extensive memorabilia, great pub grub
"In an area of the city saturated by sports bars, Murphy’s Bleachers rises above the fray. Open under various “bleachers” names since the 1930’s, it offers a singular gameday experience just across the street from Wrigley Field with plenty of streetside space for watching the world go by." - Eater Staff
"A legendary sports bar located close to Wrigley Field, known for its lively atmosphere." - Wendy Altschuler
"It’s 75 and sunny, and you spontaneously skipped work to try and get some nosebleed seats for the Cubs vs. the Cardinals. Pregaming with beers at Murphy’s Bleachers is what you want to be doing. But if you decide to just stay put, you don’t have to miss out on any of the excitement—there are enough TVs and you can still hear the roar of the crowd since Murphy’s is just outside right field." - john ringor, adrian kane
"It doesn’t have to be game day for you to grab a drink at Murphy’s Bleachers. Just paces from Wrigley Field, it’s often packed with baseball fans celebrating a Chicago win (or recovering from a loss). While the spot, formerly Ernie’s Bleachers, sold hot dogs and beer by the pail after Prohibition, Murphy’s has a lot more to offer these days, especially if you’re looking for a little early St. Patrick’s celebration. To start, there’s a massive menu of satisfying pub grub, from handmade pizza to mac and cheese, award-winning ribs, and a serious burger. Then to wash it all down, there are plenty of local beers and a slew of whiskeys. Why not go for a Jameson Black Barrel? Keep it neat or cheers to the holiday with an Irish Maid: Jameson, elderflower liqueur, simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice." - Ariel Kanter
