Murphy's Pub a Thursday hotspot Print E-mail

On Thursday nights, this FP hotspot is the happening place for karaoke, as regulars always have Thursday night circled on their calendars. The drink prices are fair and you can usually find a beer special. There are multiple big screen TVs with the top sporting events proudly being aired and several video games and dartboards for even more extracurricular activities.

Murphy's Pub
4114 Madison
Forest Park, IL
(708) 366-3008
Hours:Open to 2 a.m. weekdays; Open to 3 a.m. weekends
ATMOSPHERE

It’s a smaller bar with very little room to do much, but the intimate setting works just fine, especially when you are singing obnoxiously on stage. It isn’t a high class trendy bar, but it’s definitely the perfect setting for an Irish pub.

CROWD

Murphy’s is filled with regulars and locals, but the out-of-towner is always welcome to participate in the night’s activities. While the pub always has at least a few people drinking their worries away, Thursday, Friday and Saturday attract nice sized attention for the patrons.

ENTERTAINMENT

You have sports on the TVs, a little Golden Tee, dartboards, karaoke, hot bartenders and a tiny patio. Sounds entertaining, doesn’t it? And, the people make it entertaining, as I once saw my brother throw up in the middle of the bar on his 21st b-day and I once say my buddy Bren think she could actually sing during a karaoke night only to get major boos (could have been her NY Yankee hat).

SPIRITS/PRICES

The pitchers of beer are always delicious and cheap, and often, there is a new bar being sampled for cheap. Murphy’s is another affordable option for your tour of Vegas-like Forest Park.

WHY IT’S UNIQUE

Murphs has the best karaoke, by far, of all the Madison St. bars. And I sing there, too, doesn’t that make it unique?

They took out the pool table last week which has made room for tons more people! This is the place to hang-out on the weekdays, or party hard at night! :grin
