Scruffy Murphy's

Scruffy Murphy's is an Irish pub at Torget 15 in Bergen, beside the Fish Market (Fisketorget) in the city centre of Vestland county, Norway. It is known for showing live football, hosting live music and serving beer in a classic Irish-pub setting. The crowd is a lively mix of tourists, expatriates, sports fans and locals, mostly in their twenties to fifties, and dress is casual throughout. The atmosphere is boisterous on match days and music nights and calmer in the afternoon, when the pub works as a waterfront rest stop. The drinks programme is built around draught beer, stout and cider, along with spirits and wine, with beer priced at roughly NOK 100-130 (about USD 10.50-13.50). Music takes the form of live sets, with the exact schedule varying, and televised football is a central feature during major fixtures, when seats near the screens fill up early. Specific opening hours are not published in the listing, so visitors should confirm them directly; as elsewhere in Bergen, closing is later on Fridays and Saturdays than on weeknights. No cover charge is normally associated with the venue, and walk-in seating is standard, though reserving or arriving early is wise for big matches. Bottle service is not part of the format. Card payment is standard. The position beside the Fish Market and a short walk from Bryggen and the Fløibanen funicular makes it a convenient meeting point. Norway sets age 20 for buying spirits and photo identification is commonly requested.
