Just off the York College campus at 850 Jessop Place, Murph's has been the school's #1 college bar for decades — a longtime York institution that's survived a parade of owners and renovations without ever losing the plot. It's a laid-back, all-ages-over-21 room built for exactly what the name promises: kicking back with a cold beer among people who came to unwind, not to impress anybody. The draw is one part cheap, one part loud. One of the biggest dance floors in the city, famously cheap specials (the $1 grilled cheese is basically a rite of passage), and a calendar stacked with trivia, Music Bingo, karaoke, and weekend DJs spinning club music once the studying's officially done. Come for a quiet Tuesday pint or a messy Saturday — Murph's runs both and doesn't care which one you showed up for.
