Guinness and screens on Sheridan Street

Football on somewhere means this place is packed. Murphy's is the new Irish sports bar in the middle of Cairns, built for a crowd on match night with screens everywhere you look.

It's a five-minute walk from the Esplanade, so there's no excuse skipping it after a swim. Order a Guinness and find a seat before kickoff.

Just went for a drink great service will be in July Second for lunch. The menu is small and covers all boundaries. Great place

Large spacious TVs everywhere. Came in for lunch. Ok food - but dried. It seemed like the food was just reheated. The chicken parm had had no seasoning- just marinara sauce with cheese. It was a huge piece of chicken schnitzel. On the other hand the pot pie was quite small. The crust was dried out— like cardboard- but the inside was somewhat tasty. Definitely felt like it was just reheated. $26aud for pot pie and $30aud for chicken parm. Food not great but fantastic atmosphere.

Great place to go with friends and family . Food was great , especially the Guinness pie :) Some soft furnishing would be good just to dampen the background noise a bit as it can be noisy , but guess that's a pub atmosphere . Keep up the great work :)

Had a great time here at Murphy’s. From the moment I arrived, Dennis made me feel so welcome and had great knowledge about all the cocktails. He served me a Long Island that was honestly just superb. Will be back for more 😛😛
