Fun place for watching a game. The prices are low too. I like how this is kind of a smaller bar but it's also fun. Pretty cheap prices on things. This is especially true for wells. It's $2 for a typical well drink. So apparently they have some pizza but the quality is questionable. It's about the only expensive thing here at about $20 each. The quality makes avoiding this probably the best idea. Good place for watching a game. It isn't even bad watching the Illini in here because it's small and not as many people are in here. The bar itself is pretty gross and smelly.

As time goes, things need to change and update, but I was so thrilled to walk into Murph's and get the same delicious, 'no frills' burger and fries that I did in the 90s, along with a bottle of malt vinegar to go with it!

My cousin, friend, sister and I were trying to find a place to have some drinks after my cousin's daughter's wedding and someone told us about this place a couple blocks down from our hotel.

This is a bar for the myspace crowd as opposed to the facebookers that inhabit most CU establishments. A word of advice: don't whip out your iPhone in here, and avoid iContact. If you are willing to go dressed down (black is the new dirty) and with the proper mindset, this place can be a ton of fun. If you are into people watching, you will see some truly delightful specimens. I wont spoil it for you, but www.peopleofwalmart.com has nothing on It'll Do Too. Try not to point and laugh; I don't want to have on my conscience the shivvin' of a fellow yelper. The bar's 'sister' is of course It'll Do, a biker bar in Tolono. The crowd on the night I went (Friday, when a harrd rawk cover band was playing) was a lot of bikers, a few pool sharks, some baby boomer groupies that would make you shudder, and a lot of good, working class folk that tend to hide from the often obnoxious student-centric bars. It was a lot of fun, and they had 20 oz drafts for $3, and cans of Bud Light and Busch Light for (I assume) $1 or so. The shots were pretty generous, (though in plastic cups unless you went top shelf) and the bartenders really efficient and friendly. They had three pool tables of average quality and above average players, the largest (physically) juke box you have ever seen, a brand-new megatouch, and at least a half-dozen of the video poker/slot machine games.
