Nightlife Options

Though there’s no bar or live music at the motel itself, downtown Murphy offers a handful of cozy bars and lounges for pre- or post-show drinks. Think local craft beer spots and casual taverns with friendly vibes. It’s a quieter scene, but perfect if you’re winding down from a high-energy concert.
