A NEW live sports and music venue has opened in Liverpool City Centre.
Scruffy Murphy’s is an Irish American Bar on Harrington Street between Castle Street and North John Street (opposite Hard Day’s Night Hotel).
Run by bar and restaurant group AR Leisure, Scruffy Murphy’s has seen a major investment to create the ultimate meet up place offering a wide selection of draught beers and frozen cocktails, entertainment zones featuring 17 screens of live sport, pool tables, and retro arcade machines including Time Crisis, Wrestlefest, Ninja Turtles, Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat.
Local artist Paul Curtis has painted some iconic sporting icons in the entrance area of the site including Larry Bird the Boston Celtics three-time NBA champion as well as the Irish jockey Ruby Walsh.
In an area known for its musical and cultural history, which attracts visitors from all over the globe, Scruffy Murphy’s, which will open daily from midday and also serve food, will feature live music every evening from 7pm plus the hugely popular Big Band Karaoke.
This will allow participants to join in with their favourite songs from Queen to Ed Sheeran with a big band backing. Scruffy Murphy’s will be covering major sporting events, with extra late night openings for the biggest upcoming boxing matches from the United States.
Nicola Leppert, business development manager for AR Leisure said: “Due to the success of our sister venues, Abbey Road and Harrison’s, we decided to keep the theme of providing live music and sports as they have proven to be hugely popular with our customers.”
