Scottish pub

Murphy’s Law

Murphy’s Law, a Scottish pub slightly reminiscent of Diagon Alley in Harry Potter, boasts dark wood interior and a super friendly vibe. Visitors can explore a large variety of different foods, very similar to American style bars. On the other hand, the bar has a nice selection of beer to choose from, including Rochefort and Kasteel. While definitely a local favorite, Murphy’s Law is a bit away from the main road, so travelers may need to search just a little for its unassuming, Olde Worlde entrance.

A welcoming atmosphere greets guests from the moment they step into this pub. McCool’s is a friendly and inviting bar that Vomero’s inhabitants love because of the kind staff and quality food produced.

Internationally friendly, McCool’s is a lively space to enjoy a game of football on the TV, or hang with friends at the end of the day.
