Welcome to the Bar!Murphy's Bar

Murphy (O'Murchadha - meaning strong or superior) a popular Irish surname, traces its origin from Milesius, King of Spain through the line of his grandson Hermon, the first absolute King of Ireland in 504 BC. Later anglicised to O'Murchoe the modern Irish interpretation of the name Murphy is O'Murchu.

"Murphy's has a special buzz, too good to be missed!"
Over the years "Murphy's" has won many prestigious awards namely "The James Joyce Award", "Irish Pub of Distinction" and "Killarney Looking Good". The bar is always full of life and "craic go leor".

The present Murphy family, who acquired the premises in 1955, has a deep-rooted association with Killarney. Today's host Sean Murphy is a grandson of the famous cyclist Pat Murphy, whose prize trophy - The Macgillicuddy Cup, won in 1899, is proudly displayed in the bar. Pat's brother, John Murphy, was a local M.P., well known and respected in the community.
