Murphys Bar, Oldham

Obviously recently refurbished judging by the smell of new paint. There's one large room with another smaller area to the right which is full of pine furniture. The larger room is mainly high tables and chairs. There's a small stage for karaoke or maybe live music. The signage outside says that it is a restaurant, as well, but there was no evidence of that as there were no menus or anywhere set up for dining. This used to be a real ale pub, bur sadly it's now all fizz. I had a quick half of something cold and fizzy and watched U2 on one of the big screens. Smart but soulless would be my verdict.
