Murphy’s Bleachers
About
Murphy’s Bleachers is a sports bar at Sheffield Avenue and Waveland Avenue in Wrigleyville, directly across the street from the Wrigley Field bleacher entrance. The bar has a beer garden out back, a pub-food menu of burgers and wings, and a rooftop company that sells seats overlooking the ballpark. Before and after Cubs home games the crowd spills out onto Sheffield, and the garden fills about two hours before first pitch. The point is the location rather than the kitchen.
What to know
- Family ownership dates to the 1980s, by the bar’s own account.
- Pub trivia runs on weeknights when the Cubs are away.
- The line to get in forms early on weekend game days, and on a sold-out Saturday you may not get through the door.
- Block Club Chicago included the patio in its May 2026 guide to the city’s beer gardens.
