Yesterday, we closed the doors of the old Murphy’s for the last time… and yes, someone may have cried into their last pint. 🍺

We tried to keep it quiet to keep our ever-dwindling team of staff sane — the final day was absolutely packed. Pints were flowing, stories were shared, and our heroic team somehow survived with smiles intact.

The taps may be off, but this isn’t goodbye. Bits of the old place are heading into the rebuild, and Murphy’s will be back — same spirit, fresh walls, and maybe even a few surprises. 🍀

👉This Saturday...👈

We will be playing the Rugby Championship games LIVE on the big screen from 4pm
🏈 Australia v Argentina 🏈
🏈 ALL BLACKS v South Africa 🏈

We are not the best place to go if you're planning on watching the Warriors game, which will be played on only one TV, without commentary

🍀 Big News from Murphy’s Law & O’Malley’s 🍀
As many of you know, the Murphy’s Law restaurant closed last Sunday. Now we want to share what’s next for us, and for Drury.

O’Malley’s Sports Bar is still open, but only for a little while longer.

The land our pub sits on has been sold to developers; the only thing we know for certain about what's going in the development is US! 👉 We’ve purchased a block of land to rebuild Murphy’s Law! 🎉
This isn’t goodbye, it’s just the next chapter.
We’ll keep the pints flowing and the screens lit at O’Malley’s for as long as we can, while we start planning for the new Murphy’s Law.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting us through every twist and turn.
We can’t wait to welcome you back, bigger and better, when our new pub opens its doors.
Sláinte,
The Murphy’s Law Team 💚🍻
