Meet Papa Murph Himself

Here's Murph;
The Big Leprechaun Himself!

Papa Murph himself - Note the transformation! Left picture is Now, right picture is Old!

Papa Murph is back!! He works the night shift on Fridays and can often be found at the end of the bar, usually staring into space wishing he was at the lake fishing. Don't let this intimidate you though. Just walk on in, order a beer or two and tell him you want to pitch a tent for the night or weekend. If beer isn't your style, he loves to make Manhattans! Tell him you saw his mug on the Net! In fact, I've heard a rumor that someone actually saw him swimming in the lake in his speedo instead of fishing.

Meet Sheryl

Meet Sheryl

Sheryl has been around for several years now. Sheryl is one of the offspring born from Virg and conceived either by Murph, the UPS Driver or the devil himself. Depending upon who you ask, you'll get a different answer. Sheryl runs the place during most days and oversees the daily operations so Murph can spend more time fishing. She's alway full of spunk and can dish it out just as fast as she can take it. Tell her you saw her on the Internet and get a free smile. Be sure you tell her it was the Tavern Website or else she'll think I published the other pictures.

Murph reminds you to show him your ti... ummm, to kiss his Blarney Stone!
