If you’re looking for Irish charm and a rowdy karaoke night, then Murphy’s Berlin Schiffbauerdamm location is the bar for you. Most Thursday nights, the microphone comes out and everything from power ballads to pop favourites is belted from the bars’ energetic patrons with a pint of Guinness in hand. Even if karaoke isn’t your thing, the bar’s central position by the Spree and its dark wood, cosy interior create a welcoming, traditional atmosphere.
