The Age Clem Bastow, 20-9-2007 "Originally a coffee warehouse building and heritage-listed, Murmur's focal points are original features such as a trapdoor - fortunately bordered by a fence-like bar, for those of us who only need a few pots to transform into vertiginous idiots - and pretty accessories such as chandeliers - with a giant version hanging over the lane and peeking through the windows - and fresh floral arrangements. Bar staff wear snappy, suspendered uniforms that give the place just enough of a hint of vintage without tipping it into retro cliche territory."

The Age Cheap Eats Bars 2007 "Built as a coffee warehouse in the 1880s - with features such as a trapdoor and pulley Murmur is the quintessential hidden Melbourne gem."

The Age Cheap Eats 2006 It's a classy upstairs warehouse space hidden deep in the CBD backstreets, but Murmur draws them in with an extensive list of exotic beers

Herald Sun, citystyle,25/5/04,Danielle Johnston,'Only those truly on a mission will find this Cuban-inspired bar,which is buried off the main drag.As eclectic as its young hombre designer barmen,the loft space comes across all zen-with an edge.Think candles,plants,minimalist art,floorboards and crystal chandeliers.'
