 Currently named Murphy's Irish Pub, this establishment still exists at 1613 West Wells St in Milwaukee, WI.
-====History====
-Prior to being renamed to Murphy's Irish Pub in 1996, this bar was open for business as Murphy's Law.  The original Murphy's Law opened in 1986 on the northwest corner of 16th and Wells, across the street from its current location, where you will now find Qdoba.  In 1992 Marquette purchased that building to construct the Campus Town West student apartments, and relocated Murphy's Law to the Marquette-owned Frenn building at 1613 West Wells St, the former location of "[[The Gym Bar]]" before it moved into the Ardmore building on 16th Street. Four student apartments are available for rent above Murphy's on the second and third floor of the Frenn Building. It is one of the four Milwaukee bars currently owned by Frank Vitucci and family, including Vitucci's Cocktail Lounge and Mantra on North Avenue and Caffrey's Pub on 16th Street. Real Chili neighbors Murphy's down Wells Street as well.

 At the Bar: Beer. Murphy's sells more Miller than most of the bars in Beer City. But if the hometown brew is too pricey for the college wallet, pitchers of Old Style are available for just $4. "Milwaukee is a beer town," explains Adam. "People here drink beer, most of which was brewed just a mile-and-a-half down the street."
