hit this place 10/23/11. absolutely jam packed at 6 pm! my dumb-ass completely forgot about oktoberfest! outdoor seating with about 500 other people listening to an oompah band, eating schnitzel and drinking konig from a one litre... awesome! plus, they have barenjaeger... bitchin!

i’d like to return when the menu isn’t limited and can get a real feel for the place.

I was stationed at Luke AFB in 2000-2002 and just so happened to find this little gem in Glendale. Am I glad that I did! The food was excellent, especially the german potato salad and red cabbage. I live back in Oklahoma now and really miss this place. If i ever get back to the Glendale area, I will definitely stop in and enjoy this place once again. The beer was so good and yes, they do have an excellent selection. My wife and I still talk about this fine establishment,10 years later.

One of the few German places in the Phoenix area, Haus Murphy’s offers a good quality selection of taps. From 10 choices draft, you’ll usually find some of the better offerings... Spaten Optimator, Weihnstephaner Hefe-Weizen, Warsteiner Oktoberfest, Spaten Oktoberfest and more in bottles. They have just about every Weihnstephaner bottle that is available in the local market, in addition to Guinness & the regular variety of other countries. All draft beer and many of the bottled offerings are served in their proper glassware, complete with logos. Nice. Bar also has quite a few rare German schnapps and other spirits/cordials. Food is authentic, as is the atmosphere. Good crowd of older German immigrants or "enthusiasts", especially in the early Fall months. Has a very pleasant, non-pretentious feel to it. Prices are very reasonable. Don’t be fooled into thinking the place is small overall. There is a small dining area that faces Glendale Avenue, but at least twice that seating area is available in the charming bar dining room area where they usually have live bands on special occasions. Outdoor seating is decorated in Oktoberfest style and is open virtually year round - and it runs the whole length of the building. Beers may be served in 1 litre dimpled mugs upon request. Nice touch. Of course they also have the glass boot !!
