Dan Murphy’s

Dan Murphy`s began when the young, ambitious Dan Murphy leased a licensed grocery store at 290 Chapel Street, Prahran, Melbourne, in 1952. The store was less than a kilometre from, and deliberately in competition with, the business run by Dan’s father, Timothy, known as T.J. or Ted Murphy, on Commercial Road. Dan Murphy’s retail concept was to offer the most extensive range at the lowest prices possible. This is the Dan Murphy tradition that continues today in over 220 stores around Australia.

Over 6000 different wines, local, imported, old and rare ... they cater to all tastes. They also have more varieties of craft and imported beers and spirits than most bottle shops. All supported by their Lowest Liquor Price Guarantee*.
