Murphy’s turns 23
OSAKA — Japan’s first Irish pub and Osaka stalwart Murphy’s celebrates its 23rd anniversary this month. Owner Mick O’Carroll has been behind the bar for 13 of those years and has seen a lot of other bars open and close during his tenure. Why has Murphy’s endured where others have failed? “It’s a very transient place… but people come back here,” Mick says. “Murphy’s is an institution.” Join in the birthday celebrations from Nov 15–17, with live music and drink specials.
Another Irish pub, The Dublin Bay is also celebrating its fourth birthday this month. They are offering happy hour prices all day long to anyone that tells them the secret code: “Four years – omedeto!” So get whispering and save!
