Absolutely phenomenal brussel sprouts. Highly recommend. Great atmosphere, great drinks and fast service. Bartender was great, extremely attentive. I come here for work often, wish I would've found this spot before now. Michelle is literally the most personable bartender I've ever had. read more

Got the Shepherd's Pie and it was delicious! Went here with a big group of friends and our server was very friendly and accommodated us right away read more

While on travel for work, stopped in this location as it was conveniently located. There is outside seating but look up a holes in the covering....plus might not be ideal for any claustrophobic. A small group, Michael was our waiter. The food was fine 5 stars, Michae's attitude was NOT and I should have asked to speak with the Manager. We all ordered, one person had a draft beer. The table stated separ checks for the beginning. At the end, Michael brings one check! My colleague was polite and reminded him of separate checks. Michael was agitated and came back with a stack 4 of the checks and dropped them midair on the table. My colleague called Michael back as his draft beer was on someone else's receipt and Michael's response was "well, that's what you get when you ask for separate checks!" Food was 4.5 stars, waiter attitude 0 star. Attention Management: Please speak with Michael and any wait staff and remind them without customers, there will not be a reason to be in business nor need employees. Also, you do not speak to someone in this manner who served their country USA and is a proud military veteran. This was disrespectful when guests were polite and courteous throughout. This is an ideal opportunity for management to remind employees that every guest deserves an exceptional experience. Opted to bring a colleague on a different day and were greeted promp and seated outdoors due to wait and minimal seating. Fortunately, the waitress was Emily who may have been training but was polite. We mentioned separate checks and one sleeve was brought with 2 separate checks! The meal was enjoyable and this experience was over 4.5 stars. Zucchini ribbons slightly brown and not much flavor perhaps try adding some fresh herbs. Attached are some pics. read more

Food was quite good. Service was horrendous. The waiter didn't get the order right (he "memorized" our order). He didn't check our table, offer refills, apologize for his errors. The service was extremely slow. There was no service recovery to mitigate the poor experience. read more

One of my favorite pubs in Philly. Been here a number of times when I visit the city. Always a great time, great entertainment, bar tender ls and staff are amazing. There food is to die for. The fish tacos are my favorite. One of the best Guinness pours in town. Feels like an authentic Irish pub. Great decor and vibe. A must visit when in Philly read more

Fun spot! Cozy table. Great service. And food was yummy! My husband had the fish and chips. Crispy and perfect! He said "Fresh!". Fries with vinegar tasted like the delicious fair fries of summertime on this winter's night. I had a lingering cold and the Guinness beef stew hit the spot. The tiny toasted baguette with melted butter was exactly what I needed. Finished it off with crème brûlée! read more

Our bartender Sammie was outstanding. Great service & drinks. Helped me discover that white wine and fireball combination was the sole reason of my existence. Shout out Sammie read more

Awesome Irish pub - the best part of the hotel I stayed at in Philly. The food was great and Latoya was one of the nicest, hardest working bartenders I've ever seen. They also pour a great Guinness, just like how they do in Ireland. We got our food and drinks to go since we had a dog with us, but they even had cool live music later in the night while I waited for the order. I was so impressed at the hospitality and quality of service here and can't wait to go back. read more

Great food! Our server was very attentive and helpful, has a classic noisy pub feel but not too much! read more

My friends and I were walking around the city looking for a decent brunch spot and unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our experience here. Front desk staff were rude. We were seated outside, which had a nice view of the city, but the heater was not working well and it was a cold day. Our appetizer of Murphy fries was pretty good, but our entrees were not. They would not add egg whites to my order of 2 sunny-side-up eggs, which were undercooked. There was a hair in the side of bacon. Our toast was burnt. If you are looking for a breakfast/ brunch place in the city, I encourage you to look elsewhere. read more

Friendly and quick service. My partner and I had only stopped here for a drink while waiting for a reservation elsewhere, so can't really speak to the food, but the Irish coffee was pretty good and I liked the selection of beer. read more

i loved the quaintness of this restaurant/bar. It was very lively on an early Thursday night and I loved that it was decorated holiday themed. I got good vibes when I entered. I thought this place had exceptional service from the hostess to especially the waitress (pretty African-American girl). The menu was very extensive. It was a mild night and we were able to sit out side which was nice. The manager even offered us an outdoor heater but we were comfortable. Food was decent in my opinion nothing too fancy (picky eaters have options lol). I would return if I was nearby in the area. read more

My friend enjoyed their fish & chips! Fries were not oversalted and the fish was FAT AND MEATY YUM. I liked my shepherd's pie for the first half and then the filling just got increasingly bitter for some odd reason. The mash potatoes on top could've been softer and buttery. read more

Con Murphys is an incredible establishment, and the consummate Irish bar in Philly. The food, the staff, the music.... AND the VIBE! HIGHLY recommend this establishment! Beyond the things that make an Irish bar great, the attention to detail is above all. For example, last night I lost a 24k gold bracelet (didn't even know) and today the owner and his son found me to give it back. I hadn't even realized it had been lost and they remembered me.... And found me nearby. We need more establishments like Con Murphy's in the world today. Thank you so much! read more

We came here for brunch with a couple friends. We had a reservation and we were seated promptly. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. The food was the downfall of my visit and took away from the experience of this well-run pub in a fairly lively area. We had 2 benedicts in which the eggs were not runny at all! The chicken and waffles were good and the spicy syrup was interesting. I will be back but only for drinks! Cheers. read more

On the plus side, the Irish bartender was very nice and easy on the eyes. The shepherd's pie, however, was seriously average. It was mostly potatoes, in a shallow casserole that left little room for any stew. And it was pretty salty. Maybe just stop in for a drink and sit at the bar! read more

It was just meh from the food to the atmosphere. Server was great though. The fish and chips weren't as good as expected and the chicken dish tasted like Chinese food. read more

The food was good, and there was a nice variety of choices. The waitstaff was particularly friendly. It didn't feel cramped but it was crowded. The noise level high but not intolerable. read more

Great service for our group of 41!! Service and food were great. Very convenient for the group. We'll be back. Thx for a great time

This place is right next door to the Windsor Suites hotel where I was staying in Philadelphia. After getting in late, I was a little hungry so I stopped in. There was live music playing which is standard fare for an Irish pub. I had the fish tacos which was a "starter" but it was enough for me, especially when paired with a Smithwick's Irish ale. The bar area is a little small but there is seating upstairs which I didn't see. All in all a nice place to kick back with a brew and listen to live entertainment. I'm kicking my review up a notch because I came here for lunch the next day. My first time in Philadelphia and it rained all day! Of course I couldn't leave without having a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. I paired it with a Smithwick's ale. It was delicious. I'm glad this place si so close to where I'm staying. read more

Typical Irish/American pub/restaurant on the Parkway. Came with a couple of friends for dinner, pretty much at the start of when things were reopening from COVID. Was sat outside as indoor seating was still prohibited. Decent vibe, decent food. Food/Drinks I had the bacon truffle flatbread and my friends had burgers. Burgers did not appear that special. On the other hand, my flatbread was rather unique. I was hoping for a stronger truffle taste, but it wasn't really there; the bacon surprisingly did complement it though. I would say a highlight dish was the fried cauliflower dish, which was surprisingly good. The restaurant has a really decent drink selection, even while they limited their selection due to COVID. Prices are average and what you would expect from a center city restaurant. Service/Environment Overall, service was decent. However, they only opened the outdoor seating area and there weren't too many customers to begin with. They were very attentive though. The outdoor seating area was nice, you're basically on the Parkway and have a decent view around. Not much to comment on the inside yet, but maybe soon to come? Rating: 6/10 Pros: Great location, good service Cons: Rather plain and nothing stood out. Recommendations: Fried Cauliflower appetizer! read more

Reasonably enjoyable Irish pub. Have a Guinness Stout on tap which always works and never disappoints. We shared a fish and chips place which was again reasonably well done - although a bit heavy on the breading in my opinion. Service started out slow but picked up. I would not say this place is my go to -- however it's a perfectly acceptable Irish pub that was close to where we were staying. read more

Right off the bat we got a seat which was good because it's a busy day, then 5 mins in maybe we put in our drink order. Irish music playing, and decorated nice. I had a Shirley temple and it was orange odd. Still good. Parking next to it was 16 bucks. Waiters were super nice, the shepards pie came out hot it was super good. Overall recommend! read more

Happened to Con Murphy's go to the bar say hi to Glen tell him I sent you! Nice spot good vibe good live music they had a great guy on last night. This is a bar. The food is decent. Had the Parmesan truffle fries they were OK also had the buffalo chicken flatbread. If you love spicy, you should try it it is definitely spicy and eat it fast cause once it's cold, it's really not that great but go and have a good time. Have a drink at the bar Glen will hook you up. read more

Came here alone on a hum bug to be close to see the 4th of July fireworks! Sat at the bar so, only had intentions on drinks but I ordered the Parm Truffle fries and boy am I glad I did!

Very nice little Irish pub with good eats. I was staying down the street at the Sheraton, in town for work and popped into this place. It was around 6:30 PM pretty much 90% locals that were all friendly. The staff was amazing and by that I mean nice, friendly and thanked me for coming in. Gotta love that. I had the Rueben egg rolls with my Cape May beers and left content with a smile on my face. Stop in and support this biz read more

This place is good if you want a hotel Irish bar that has live music. The food definitely isn't the best but it's gotten better over the years. If you want to listen to some people play while drinking a beer this would be perfect. My friend got the Shepard's pie and it was very gross it looked like watery mashed potatoes that was frozen and reheated. However when I do get food I actually really enjoy their hummus plate and Buffalo cauliflower wings. I would stay stick to basic food with this place read more

Great Irish bar in philly! They have a lot of drink staples and we loved the peach mule from the cocktail menu. Our bartender was super friendly. He was attentive and made conversation with our group. I have had the food here on many different occasions and it never disappoints! During march when there are parades/erin express crowds it's definitely more busy but the staff is always great and works hard to make sure everyone is taken care of read more

We had a great experience at Con Murphy's. Our server was extremely accommodating with seating preferences and menu item alterations. The flatbread was outstanding and had a great balance of flavors and textures. The cheesesteak minus the bun was delicious. I appreciate the flexibility to try a Philly Cheesesteak despite dietary restrictions. I was not sure why I got a little side of ketchup, but it made a nice addition with such a contrasting flavor. read more

Restaurant week (winter 2021) review. This was an impressive treat for a first timer. I have walked by this place dozens of times but have never eaten in here and so I decided to give this place a try since the restaurant week menu looked impressive. This is an Irish pub as the title suggests. It is also a lot larger than it looks. The initial downstairs area is the bar and is a smaller and cozier setup where you are never far from the bartender. There is an upstairs and a mezzanine-type seating area as well as an outdoors area. While waiting for my food I saw several families that left and so there is ample seating for larger groups The food was EXCELLENT. I had prime rib as the entree and it was sizeable. I highly recommend this place to eat. read more

If you love the Irish vibe, this is the place. You can't a find a more Irish welcoming than this place. Aisling, is the best bar tender and a true Irish gem. She is outstanding and will make sure you have a great experience. She epitomizes the Irish spirit. Also, the menu is unmatched. All food is home-cooked and outstanding. Anything you order will be fresh and will not dissappoint. The kitcken tenders are da bomb.......homemade and the best. Do not miss out on this place. Sláinte!!!!!! read more

I was in town for the Love Run 1/2 and ordered room delivery from this restaurant since I was staying at The Windsor Suites. The food was amazing! I ordered the chicken tenders and pirogies and the chicken was perfectly fried yet juicy and the pirogies had the perfect amount of bacon bits and onions with them. The menu looked amazing but I played it safe due to my race. I would definitely come back here when in town again! read more

Very good drinks at expected prices. Went on a weekend and still got "brunch" at 3:30pm which limited menu options. Staff was overall friendly but I'm not sure our server smiled once. Very cute place would go again at a different time of day or just for drinks read more

Update: the Irish breakfast is a pretty good choice. All the standards (including beans, and black, and white pudding). Definitely worth a try if you're looking for a hearty start for your day. ----------- Crowded and extremely noisy (on a Friday night). Only a few Irish selections on the menu (seems to be a common issue with so-called "Irish" pubs). Apparently everyone else is here for the company and the beer. And live music. I suppose that's what pubs are for, after all. Maybe I need to get out more. There are some good Irish beers on tap (Guinness, Harp, Smithwick's), so that's good. The fish and chips are okay, but not the best. Served hot from the fryer, but the fries are thin cut (American style?) and a bit limp (not at all crispy). Gotta ask for malt vinegar, but the server might disappear for a while. Fish is piping hot and crispy on the outside, flaky inside. Tartar sauce is unusual, with a tangy, almost sour note. But it's pretty good. Three stars - not a cozy pub to enjoy with a pal, and the "chips" need to be de-Americanized. But it's not bad. read more

You might think that this place would lack Irish street cred because it's on the parkway. You'd be sadly mistaken. If you know anyone actually from the island they go here. If they have an accent they go here. The food is truly excellent. It's been a while since I've been but a few years back I think I'd tried everything on the menu at least once. The place is pretty spacious inside. Plenty of room to get comfortable. There is also outdoor seating. The staff is Cheers friendly. Same goes for the patrons. read more
