The owners announced the closure on Instagram over the weekend but provided no reason for their decision. The post encouraged visitors to continue the Maddy McMurphy's tradition of football- watching parties at sister bar Mad Dogs British Pub, "just steps away."
The Irish-themed bar was owned by Terry Corless, a UK native whose Mad Dogs restaurant group also includes downtown's Bier Garten, On the Bend Oyster Bar & Cigar Lounge, Prost Haus and Crockett Tavern.
Maddy McMurphy's, one of several taverns to occupy the high-traffic spot at 420 E. Houston St., was known for its annual Irish-themed parties, cold draft beers and many screens tuned to football and other sporting events.
