It’s with a heavy heart that we share the news that Beth Murphy, long-time owner of Murphy's Bleachers, and beloved advocate for the neighborhood, has passed away after a long fight with cancer. Beth truly loved all things Wrigleyville and fought hard to preserve the history of our neighborhood over the years.
Beth's late husband Jim, opened Murphy's Bleachers in 1980. Beth and Jim were the first to the table to welcome in new neighbors and made sure that everyone around the neighborhood felt that Wrigleyville was a place for everyone After Jim's passing in 2003, Beth took ownership. She fought hard for small business owners as changes began happening to the neighborhood, and Beth will forever be an integral part of the neighborhood’s history and future because of her tireless work to preserve the history of Wrigleyville. It’s no wonder why celebrities & locals alike flock to this neighborhood watering hole.
From big names like Bill Murray & Eddie Vedder becoming regulars, to the local kickball leagues that crash on the patio after a hard win, Murphy’s Bleachers is a place for everyone to gather because of the culture and atmosphere that Beth has cultivated over the years. The neighborhood will forever be changed because of Beth, and we wish her family and loved ones peace during this time.
