Description: Harry Murphy’s relaxed neighborhood honky tonk may fool you. Sure there are ice-cold yard beers. Two-fisted turkey sandwiches. Pan-fried catfish. A fried bologna sandwich and bottle of Pabst Blue Ribbon will set you back just $3.75. But you might be surprised to see some upscale items on the menu, including a seductive penne with spicy vodka, tomato, and cream sauce. Those who are too refined for brewskis can indulge in flights of premium tequila, which simply means three one-ounce pours of different brands for $12, or choose to fly first class with samples of the premium aged fire water for $17. Whiskey flights also are departing from Harry’s Country Club, with three different one-ounce pours for just $10—including top-notch bourbons and single malts. And what’s good grub and booze without live music? Wed through Sat during good weather, the friendly deck’s the place to be. There’s often a cover charge, but the view of a glittering downtown skyline is free.
