    Wings sauce on side
    Shanel S.

    If you are in the area it is a solid spot for grubs. The wings were properly fried hard for me which is my preference. The salad was basic basic, but honestly I just wanted an excuse to eat all the wings. I do get them naked with sauce on the side to maintain crispness. Excuse the light skinned color, don't count that against them. Irish saloon says it all. Dark with a ton of noise and people. Nothing spectacular, nothing to write home about but still late night eating with fast service is a good thing to have.

    Billy Murphy's is the perfect neighbor bar/tavern. It has the most inviting feeling, decorated with string lights, local art and photos are hung on the walls. It is very wholesome to see and experience the bonds some locals have created with the bartenders/servers. Everyone is always friendly and polite. The service is quick. They have specials every week! Sundays & Wednesdays are 50 cent wings. Mondays are half off chicken sandwiches & Tuesdays are half off burgers. I definitely recommend getting fries to share. Even a small size is sufficient to share amongst 3-4 people. The aioli sauce is perfectly creamy and acidic. My personal favorite burger is the Big Mic, which tastes way better than a Big Mac. The patty is always huge and juicy and really creates a harmonious bite with all the vegetables. The portions for everything are super generous. The turf burger is super indulgent and delicious too. Definitely can't wait to come back and try the other specials!

    A go-to "dive" bar in the East Falls neighborhood. This bar is a staple in the community and the food is great! DONT sleep on their cheesesteak - don't tell any of the big names but it may be one of the best in the area. Fries are hand cut and required any time we dine. Great beer selection and weekly food specials. 50 cent wings!!! It's a small bar so sometimes it's only 1 or 2 people working but even so, we've always had good service. Heads up: CASH ONLY but there is an ATM on site.

    Imagine an Irish dive bar with great food and a ton of personality! The turf burger really hit the spot with just enough spiciness. Went on a Tuesday ($5 burgers and trivia) and their quizzo was really popular! The guy running it was hilarious. Would go again just for the burger, but would stay for the games!

    5 stars for this corner dive bar. Stoped by on a Saturday around 1 and wasn't sure if it was open. But the door was unlocked and it was much busier than I expected. A lot of people there watching the 76ers play. We opted to sit outside and our bartender/server took our order. My friend lives around the corner so we walked but there was some street parking nearby. We came her specifically for the burgers. I was told they were good and was happy when I saw "hand formed patty" right at the top of the burger section. We both ordered medium and got a side of fries and a couple cokes. The fries come with some special sauce, maybe a mix of mayo and ketchup with some other goodies, I'm not sure but it was good. The cokes were also great, plenty of syrup, sweet, cold, and delicious. The burgers came on nice buns and looked fabulous. The first bite was absolutely dreamy, perfect medium, gooey melty cheese, a little juice squeezing out. Totally exceeded my expectations, it was perfect finish to end. Really likes this place and can't wait to get back. Nice service, friendly patrons, and killer burgers! Check it out if you get a chance.

    My wife and I were in Philly for a long weekend and this place looked pretty cool…read more The bouncer checked our ID and we were led through the packed bar to a table for two. They had really good beer prices and I ordered an IPA and a Philly Cheesesteak and a hummus plate. After having some amazing cheesesteaks, this one was a little subpar, not bad but nothing compared to Angelo's, which was amazing. The hummus was really great and we went through it, so good. Pretty good service for such a packed place. Kind of dive bar, but obviously people loved it. Lots of TVs on the walls and I think it has been around a long time. Located in an alley type road.

Its pretty cool on the inside, definitely passes the Irish pub vibe check. One thing that killed it for us right away: it was LOUD. Sure, we're not in our twenties anymore, but we're not super old. It was mid afternoon, before dinner time, and the music was so loud we were going to have to yell across the tiny table to hear each other. After walking around in the heat all day it was just not what we were looking for. We did stay for a drink. He had a decent old fashioned, though pretty tiny for the price. I had a beer, and it was what would be expected. The one thing that really stood out was the server. She was nice, pleasant, and very quick. I'd maybe go back if I was in the right mood, but that day was certainly not the day for me.

World Cup is going on right now so I decided to sit outside where it was a little more quiet. It's kind of small inside in the downstairs area but upstairs has a whole lot more room. There was good.

    We had such a great time at Moriarty's! We were just looking for a spot to hang out for awhile and…read morehave a few drinks since it was crazy hot out, but was going to start raining at any time. Neither of us were hungry enough for a big dinner, and we were too tired to wander the city. Moriarty's came up in a yelp search, and we love an Irish pub, so we decided we'd give it a shot. The interior space is definitely Irish pub, but also has some pretty touches. It's not too dimly lit, and its not crazy loud, which was super nice. We sat at the bar, and it was a slow enough time that we were able to chat with the bartender a bit, as well as a regular patron seated near us. We had some really fun conversations! The drinks were good, as expected. I stuck with beers, but my husband had their black Manhattan, which he really enjoyed. The food was pretty on par for bar food. My husband had a sandwich, and I had the nachos. Both were fine. Overall we had a great time, and ended up hanging out for a few hours; definitely longer than anticipated! It was a great spot to have a drink, a quite bite to eat, and ride out a storm. I would absolutely go back if we find ourselves in the same area in Philly again.

    This was our first time visiting Moriartys, and I chose it because they're open late since my guy…read moregot off work late. I wanted to give him plenty of time to chill and relax before we went out to dinner, and it worked out perfectly. I ordered the Chicken Piccata, and it was delicious! The chicken was perfectly cooked and full of lemony flavor with a creamy sauce. The asparagus was also very tender and cooked perfectly. My guy ordered the Buffalo Chicken Caesar Salad, which was so good he shared some with me. He also ordered the Whiskey-Glazed Salmon, which came with rice and asparagus. The salmon was cooked perfectly--not dry at all, with a nice crispy outside and amazing flavor. Apparently, one Buffalo Chicken Caesar Salad wasn't enough because he was still hungry, so he ordered another one! It was just as amazing as the first. To finish everything off, I ordered the cheesecake, and it was very, very, very good! We also enjoyed our drinks--my small glass of wine and his Yuengling beer. Moriartys definitely satisfied all of our food and drink needs last night. Great late-night option, delicious food, and definitely a restaurant we'd return to!
