Due to the World's monthly research of old news articles, I noticed that it was 25 years ago on Dec. 16 that Molly Murphy's House of Fine Repute closed.
The young servers at the restaurant, located at 3900 S. Sheridan Road, dressed as actors, singers, and characters from movies and literature -- Little Bo Peep, Blackbeard, Batman, General Custer, to name a few -- and kept things lively in the dining room anchored by a salad bar cut from a real Jaguar.
Remember "Potty train! Potty train! All aboard for the potty train!" for those unsuspecting souls who asked directions to the restroom facilities?
About three years ago, Jeffiee Tayar, who founded the Molly Murphy restaurants -- one in Tulsa and one in Oklahoma City -- with her former husband, Bob, wrote a book, "Whatever Happened to Molly Murphy's House of Fine Repute" (Dog Ear Publishing). It is an interesting and fun read if you can find a copy.
We could use another restaurant like Molly Murphy's around here, a place where fun and food go hand in hand.
