Big fan of this place. They've expanded since I went to school here, which is fantastic since the overall feel is less crowded. The more people you can fit in the bar, the shorter the line outside! I haven't had food here in years, but I know it's super cheap. Drinks are cheap too, decent draft beer selection for a campus bar, and it's surprisingly not that hard to snag a table (there are a whole bunch of them). I've had many an evening here, dancing in that space in front of the jukeboxes. And you should know that this is not a place where a lot of people dance - it's mostly just people drinking, probably shaking their heads and laughing at my friends and I dancing around like idiots to Bon Jovi. But you know, Murphy's just makes me feel comfortable enough to do that. The jukebox blows on busy nights though - even if you pay extra for "play next," like 10 other people already did that so you might not hear your songs at all. And you'll probably have to sit through a lot of stupid crap that other people picked out before you get to any good music. I guess it just depends on the crowd. Either way, we always stop at Murphy's when we come back to Champaign and I know we always will!
