Humphrey's Restaurant & Tavern (also referred to as Humphrey's or Hump's) is a college bar near Saint Louis University, at Laclede and Spring Streets, that was the basis for the 2001 film One Night at McCool's, written by Stan Seidel, but the movie was not shot here as it was considered not appropriate for filming. Seidel, who died just prior to the film's debut, was a frequent customer at Humphrey's before writing the film.

The tavern opened on June 18, 1976, and is named after its owner, Robert "Humphrey" Mangelsdorf.

Humphrey's is known by SLU students for its Wednesday night "Penny Pitchers," complimentary birthday "plunger shots," and Tuesday night trivia contest. The restaurant offers American style bar foods.

Humphrey's recently unveiled a new mural.
