Our Story

A place that feels like
the middle of somewhere nice

Murphy's started with a simple idea: a spot where the barista knows your order and the bartender knows your name — and both happen at the same counter.

Tucked on Locust Street in Dubuque, we've been serving our neighbors coffee that takes time and drinks that take care since day one. No pretense, no rush — just good company and things made right.

The Space

Comfort that doesn't try too hard

Soft light, warm wood, and enough room to spread out or squeeze in close.

Sunlight & shadow

Large windows on Locust let the morning in. The back corner goes golden around four. Pick your mood.

Made with care

Every drink is pulled, poured, or shaken by someone who takes pride in it. We'd notice if it wasn't true.
