Murphy's Pub-One of Seattle's
Oldest Irish Pubs
By CATHOLINE BUTLER
SEATTLE - Murphy's Irish Pub is one of the oldest established Irish pubs in Seattle. The first Murphy's Pub was located just half a block down from the present one. The pub is tastefully decorated, featuring a lovely fireplace with a big picture of St. Patrick on the mantel.
A large wall hanging displays the logo of the famous Glasgow Celtics Soccer Club. Four beautiful stained glass windows make up one wall of the pub, with each window representing one of the four provinces of Ireland. These were the actual windows of the original pub and were incorporated into the new Murphy's setting.
The day I visited Murphy's Pub, I spoke to acting manager Danielle Costa. Owner Chris Barnes was out of the country on a holiday. Danielle said, "in the old Murphy's there was a stage that could never be used because of a law in the State of Washington.
"The law stated that you could not serve beer and have live music. Later, when that ban was lifted, owner Chris Barnes established the first open mike in a bar where people could go up on the stage and sing.
"Murphy's Pub is an original. In fact, we carry all three Irish stouts...Guinness, Beamish and Murphy's. We also have 23 draft beers so there is always a large selection.
"We have live entertainment Friday and Saturday nights. On Tuesday, we have a pub quiz sponsored by Guinness and on Wednesday night we still have our popular open mike night." Murphy's Pub is located at 1928 - 45th Street North, Seattle.
